Lara's Clone? - Stad
Duister
Level by Jesseas
Walkthrough by Treeble
Shortly after the rotating blades, sprint towards the exit of the narrow
corridor as a boulder will be right on your heels. Hop over the barricade and
watch the camera fly around this deserted downtown. Right across the road,
amidst some smoke, is a newspaper clipping reporting Lara's supposed clone.
Between the two yellow dumpsters, just South from where you are, you can find
the REVOLVER. Head North, past the
ambulance, and drop into the manhole to collect SECRET
#1. Climb back to surface level and take the narrow path just around
the building for a shortcut. Head towards the white fence in the back and push
open the doors to the hospital.
On the second floor, watch out for the guard dog and enter the second door on
the left wall to find SECRET #2 by
the burning bed. Return to the hall and head into the room right across from
your previous location. Slide down the polerope and dispatch the two guard dogs
before monkey swinging across. Zoom past the empty corridors and open the
trapdoor to climb into the city park.
Drop into the brownish passage by the fountain in the back. Deal with the dog
and cross this underground tunnel to find your way into the local weapon store.
Help yourself to the UZIs and, more
importantly, the CROWBAR in the back and
then retrace your steps back to the city park. Exit the park via the open gate
by the skate ramps and head to the Southern end of the city, towards the game
store. Just before the crosswalk, amidst a bunch of leaves on the lane, are the
JEEP KEYS.
Before going inside the games store, look West to spot the LASERSIGHT by the dumpsters near the next corner.
Now you can return and enter the store; head all the way to the back and use
your crowbar to pry open the gray door. Gather the revolver ammo close to the
cabinets and take out the two sentry guns through the crack in the back. Return
to the previous room and go through the narrow corridor in the left to find
another gray crowbar door.
Watch out for the guard dog and random hazards as you make your way to the dark
end of the room. Slide down the hole into the sewers and locate the crawlspace
on the other end of the room. Take a running jump over the deadly pit, run
through the upside down spikes and down the blue slope. Get off the water and
run up the long ramps, minding the guard dogs, to a polerope. Backflip into the
ledge above to get a sense of the shaft you're in: halfway up the room, on the North
wall, is an alcove housing the MCA KEY.
Retrieve it and then climb the pole all the way to the top.
Beyond the chains is a crowbar door, which will open on approach, that takes
you back to the city park. Take the underground tunnel by the fountain again to
return to the weapons store. Inside, use the key and cross the hallway until
you reach a crawlspace, then crawl into the opening to the left to reach the
graveyard.
By the burning trees in the back is a small alcove to the right: hop in and
sprint past the breakaway floor to locate a small water pond. Collect the DIAMOND VR from the red splash among the plants,
swim back to the surface and retrace your steps all the way back to the city
park. Head Southwest, just before the collapsed lanes is a small room with the
receptacle for the diamond. A camera flyby will reveal the location of the now
accessible JEEP (a small garage near the
hospital).
Use the jeep to jump the collapsed lane gap, leave the jeep and look down the
Western pit to spot SECRET #3. Pick
it up, open the door and cross the laboratory entrance to finish your tour
across Stad Duister and sadly leave with all questions unanswered...
