Walkthrough by Yoav



Cairo, year 2002...

Start with Lara standing facing a closed double gate when sniper starts shooting from a high roof. Look to your left side, the motorbike is parked there but you can't drive till you've managed to open this gate. Climb up onto the wall and take care for another sinper shooting from the east roof, jump quickly to the yard, kill bats and the soldier, then pick up his Weapon Code Key. If you look on the east wall you see a high jumpswitch that you'll reach later, but right now head over to the passageway.

Go forward and drop into the pit, crawl into the opening, stand and head to the passage, kill the soldier, further you pass between two sentryguns, they are not going to shoot on you as you are now one of them (thanks to Weapon Code Key!!). Move to the wall and climb up, get the medipack from the right side, keep moving to the door, also from the right when you enter the room kill the soldier then climb onto the block and get the Shotgun and Ammo. Get out from the room and keep further behind the corner to the opening, in the front on the wall you can see the jumpswitch. Run jump and grab/pull it and fall back to the yard, go
through the open gate to get motorbike.

Drive into the yard and from there over the paasageway, you need to drive with full speed to cross the gap ahead, keep driving, follow the path over the breakable wall. Proceed driving forward, you'll come to a large yard with small mosque at the middle, the whole area around is surrounded by soldiers and snipers so keep driving over them to kill as many as you can. Drive to the slope to reach the high road and keep running over the soldiers, driving around and look for closed trapdoor and further climbable wall, then back down to the yard. Get close to the mosque and shoot on the wooden barrier, climb onto the block and look inside the hole, there's red killing water.

Leave the mosque and head SW corner where you can see a closed door, break into the room and pull the two lever floor, screenshot will show a brown door opening, before you get out from the room, shoot on the two tins to get shotgun ammo. Now head to the climbable wall at the high road, climb up onto the wall, run down the slope over the grate ledge. Look in front of you for another grate ledge and right from behind the brown door you just opened, take running jump across the gap, grab the grate ledge. Get get into the alcove, pick up the Right Gauntlet, turn and drop down to the path and back to the motorbike.

Drive to west side into the passageway, in front is a closed double gate, keep driving to the right and follow the path, you come to place with building.
Get off the motorbike and climb onto the long block, look for small sunken sand place, head over the stairs, climb up to the top and break into the building. Kill the soldier get his Ammo, from the left side threre's hole with water and closed brown door but this will be your way out later. Pull the jumpswitch to make an earthquake, it creates wide open hole outside in the sunken sand place. Get over there and drop into the water below, swim to the middle as soon as you get the Left Gauntlet screenshot will show the red killing water is turned to normal. Swim through the open brown door, climb up into the room and back to
the motorbike.

Drive back to the mosque at large yard, now you can drop down into water below, keep swimming through the narrow space swimming along the underwater passage, get medipack on the way and get out of the water. In a front there's opening that brings you back to the yard, so right now ignore it as you go through there later. However, stand face left of the opening, jump grab the large crack and shimmy left till you reach the ledge and climb onto it, jump toward the opposite side of the large crack, get the Ammo. Back to the ledge by shimmying to the right, then jump grab the ceiling and monkeyswing across the room to opposite side,
shimmy left and climb into the crawlspace. Start crawling over the shallow
water place, don't turn to left yet, keep crawling forward and get the medipack, turn back and now turn to a short passage, at the end jump and grab/pull the ceiling trapdoor.

Climb into a room with shallow water around, kill the soldier then head over to the lever floor but don't pull it yet as you have to do a few things before. Go forward in the passage, kill the soldier in front of you, there's an opening from your right, leave it a while and just proceed forward to next room from the left side. Enter into the room but be careful from the traps fire floor, go around the room over the short reversed slope, stand few steps back then jump/slide over the climbable wall, backflip and you land onto a ledge. Look in the opposite side of the room for two openings, the one from the right you reach later, keep further on the ledge and stand facing to next opening. Take running and jump, you land into it, climb up into the room, on right side you'll see closed blue door, turn to left, go a few steps forward and slide back to the passage and find yourself front of the opening you passed earlier.

Run down the short slope into a big room, look to your left, threre's a high
opening, this will be your way out later. Run jump and grab the crack of the large column at the middle of the death water pool, shimmy right, when you reach the second corner drop and grab the high switch, it will turn the death water to normal water. Jump into the pool and swim over the opening, get out of the water and run up along the slopes till you get to a lever floor. Pulling this lever will raise block and sealing the room you've been to earlier, go through the opening nearby back to the room with the pool, then head back to the first lever floor at the beginning of the passage.

alcove, turn to the right and climb onto the block to enter to the room. Jump into the water and swim over the faraway opening, climb inside the room then head to the right and pull the lever floor, short flyby will show you the blue doors are open now. Back to the water and swim into the second opening just to know that you can't climb up, the level water is not high enough, you need to get back to the lever floor at the beginning passage and pull it back to empty this room.
