ESCAPE
FROM ZERLOCK
Level by Tinka.
Walkthrough by Dutchy.
The Story:
...Lara was searching for an artifact in the arctic ice when suddenly
the ice broke and she fell through it. Now she finds herself in Zerlok, a
hidden military base under the ice. So try to escape, finding all 4 secrets...
There are so many Bats in this level, I will certainly have forgotten to
mention some; you’ll find them, I’m sure. (dutchy)
The 1st “Timeless Sands”.
You’ll slide into an old building, go into the opening L and notice the
golden door, go L and into the opening there, climb up in the crawlspace in the
N wall, shoot the Dog and get the medpack, nothing else here but a view
outside, so return and find the crawlspace in the NE corner, follow it to an
icy room with a water hole, look in the NE corner and notice the black door
(for later). Jmp in the water and get the flares N, turn and go S in to a small
tunnel L, pick up the medpack and L at the T-crossing, the door will open and
you’ll get “the Canopic Jar”. Go back for some air and take the same tunnel, go
R at the T-crossing and follow, get the ammo on your way and go L after the 2nd
pickup, follow up to a room with 3 vases, a Dog and some Bats, shoot the vases
if they didn’t break in the gunfight and get ammo and the Uzis. Use the
jmpswitch in the NE corner to open a door somewhere.
Get back in the water and L at the crossing, into the wide tunnel and L,
pick up some ammo near the hole in the end and swim up into another icy room,
climb the block and jmp/grab into the hole in the ceiling, follow to the door
you opened and shoot some Bats on the way, crawl backwards through the small
opening and up the stairs, to a small maze, go L and get the flares, kill some
more Bats and go on to the end of this passage to place the “Canopic Jar” in
the receptacle. The black door (in the 1st icy room) will open. Back and 1st
L/L and shoot the vase in the L corner, get the medpack and you’ll see the
golden door in the building opening up. Turn around and go E, 1st L and follow
to the end, get some ammo, take a step back and jmp/grab into the upper passage,
to get “Secret # 1, a button to push to give access to the secret later (mind
the pit behind the steps).
Drop down to the passage again and go out, L/L and drop into the
building again, go to the other side and to the golden door. From the entrance,
shoot the 2 Dogs and one more as you enter. Pick up the 1st “Timeless Sands”,
shoot some vases to get ammo and the Shotgun and go into the crawlspace to the
icy room. Black door in NE corner, remember? Enter and shoot the Guard, take
his ammo and pull the lever in the SW corner (it will open a door), dive into
the pool, get Secret # 2, ammo in the SW and swim N, follow L and get some ammo
in an alcove L, get up through the hole in the end and you’re outside.
Finding the Bike.
Go W and shoot the
Guards, find the passage R and another Guard and 2 Dogs will come out, pick up
the medpack. Now go to the far SW corner of this Ice garden and throw the lever
there, it will open the door to the Bike. Go back to the passage and in the
room in the end, go R and shoot the vase, get the “Hand of Orion” and explore
the room for a medpack in another corner, go back to the entrance passage and
see the R black door open. Go in and R into the NW corner, follow to a fence,
shoot it and the oil drum, get the ammo and the Nitro and return to the
entrance, the next black door is open, go find the Bike inside and put the
Nitro feeder in. Take it outside to the area with the dark floor (just straight
from his room) and down the slope R. Locusts will attack, you can get rid of
them by returning inside with the Bike.
The 2nd “Timeless
Sands”.
Follow the path again
and around L corner. You’ll have to push the sprint button to apply the Nitro,
so the Bike can make the jmp over the Gorge. Around next corner after the jmp,
stop in front of a crawlspace in the L corner. Get off the Bike and crawl in,
get some ammo R, follow the crawlspace and climb up the block, stop at the
slope and stand all the way L. Standjmp to the alcove R and get Secret # 3, a
medpack. Now slide backwards down the slope and into a large cave, stay close
to the wall and go to the SW to get a small medpack. Drop down to the lower
floor. Guards will start to shoot at you, so take them out. Dive into the 1st
pool, get out quick at the low ledge, start shooting the Crocs, dive in again,
get some flares and get out, go to the 2nd pool and go L, there is a hole in
the floor, where you have to go in later for a timed run, better get rid of the
Crocs in that hole, before starting the timed run. Drop backwards down and
jmp/grab up again, turn and shoot 3 Crocs, look for the door you’ll have to run
to later.
Climb back put and go
to the door in the E, maybe you shot the Guard already, otherwise you’ll meet
him here. Enter and go L/R into a small passage, there you have to push the
button, a flyby will show you where to go, so enter the blue door on the other
side of the room and into the room with the time trigger for the door in the
Croc pit. Stand on the higher part of the floor and you will see the door open,
stand close to the exit and light a flare, save and run for it. Go sprint L/R/R
out of the door, along the 2nd pool, into the SW corner of the Croc pit,
turning R and sprint for the door. Inside you’ll find the “2nd Timeless sands” and
ammo.
Go back to the 2nd
pool and R, climb the block where you shot the 1st Guard and jmp to the
monkeyswing, go N and follow the landing to the E, taking the medpack shooting
some Bats and find the crawlspace in e wall go in, R/R and up the icy ladder,
be careful, pits here, take the medpack and at the slope, take some medicine,
so you are in full health, now drop back off the slide and grab, drop to the
canyon and mount the Bike. Up the next steep hill and onto a square, sharp L
and through the wall on the R side, keep R and up the slope, so you’ll land on
the higher ledge, drive the Bike into the pit and stop.
Get off the Bike and
leave it here, pity, but it’s not a water Bike (hey, Eidos, a Jet ski would be
nice!).
Go N and find Secret #
4, a medpack and ammo behind the door you opened with the Secret # 1 button.
[/b]The Fortress.[/b]
Return to the Bike and S over the pool. Find the crawlspace and go
through to a Fortress with Big Gates. Go R and shoot 2 Guards, climb into the
window N and standjmp/grab the monkeyswing, over to the Block S and up to the
1st floor, go along the W wall and shoot 2 vases there, one for a medpack and
the other for the “Weapon code key” (this was meant for a later level, you
don’t need it here); go forward to the N wall and use the jmpswitch, it will
open the big gates in the W of the fortress. Go down and enter them, into the
crawlspace and open the blue door, shoot the guard and proceed through the door
that will open for you, you’re back in the area where you got the Bike, go
forward and L, place the “Hand of Orion” to open another gate in the fortress,
go back and enter that gate behind the block at the monkeyswing. Place the 1st
“Timeless Sands” to the L, the opposite gate opens place the “2nd Timeless
sands” and a flyby will show the last gate opening up, go out through the
crawlspace, take out some resistance and go outside where the Chopper is
waiting to take you home.
End of this level.
