NOTE OF WARNING: This walkthrough for Spooky Places may have a couple of
mistakes.
Story for Spooky Places: This adventure features young Lara as she
explores a lost civilization that has been recently discovered. Lara will be
exploring the area
in search of 3 secrets and several golden skulls. Have fun!
Walkthrough:
As the level opens Lara is standing on a step. You will need to hop back
and then take a running leap forward to reach the green area. There is a cavern
beneath you that you may want to explore but I suggest
you wait since there are a couple of doors that need to be opened first. For
now run along the green moving forward while avoiding the open areas on the
ground
and hop over the side to the brick structure. There are two torches and a gong on a
ledge. They are just for display. Notice the roses growing on the wall.
Climb up the rose
ladder and when you are near the top do a backward jump turning in mid-air and
grab the ledge behind you. Pull up and stand on the column.
Face the next column
to the left and after stepping back take a running leap and you should be
standing on the next column with the rope dangling above you. Center yourself
under the rope facing the gong display and you should see a ladder. Jump up and
grab the rope and swing toward the ladders. Release and grab the ladders
(this may take a couple of tries) and pull yourself up onto the ledge. Run to
the center where there is a golden skull. Grab the skull and jump back, run
forward and take a giant leap and grab the ledge in front of you. Shimmy to the
left and pull up on the ledge with a ladder nearby. Climb the ladder and go to
the center area where there is a lever switch.
Pull the switch and go
through the open door. There is a small drop at the end and another skull and
another lever. Get the skull and pull the lever. Go back the way you came and
jump up facing the wall and climb back onto the ledge. Return to the center
area and go through the next open door. There is a skull on the grating floor.
Through the grating you can see a couple of unlucky explorers and a couple of
levers as well. You will get to those later.
For now, go forward to the lever on the ledge and pull it. Go back out and
return to the center area and through the next opened
door. There is a waterfall and small pool. In the pool is a medical pak. On the
top of the waterfall is another skull so go and get that and then pull the
center lever. Some rumbling can be heard. Go back out and to the center area
and through the last opened
door. You will find yourself in a large room with a pool. Above you there is a
lever on a magical platform and a large door to open.
Turn to your right or
left and climb the wall and go up the platform. Once at the
top turn and go through the center opening into a hallway. Go straight ahead
and to the edge. Jump back and take a giant running leap and Lara will just be
able to grab the transparent ledge. Pull up and then pull the lever. Turn to
your right quickly to see the
large door opening. As you did before take another giant running leap. This may
take a few tries so save your game here before you attempt the jump.
Once you have grabbed
the ledge, pull up and look up at the footbridge. There is a ladder nearby.
Find it and climb up to the bridge. It will start to collapse once you are on
it. Run quickly to your right until you are on the ledge at the end. Turn and
jump up into a small room with a lever. Push the lever and watch a camera shot
of a trapdoor opening in another area you will get to soon. Now do a safety
drop from the ledge onto the ledge below or just jump down onto the ledge. Now
you can go through the large doorway. You will have to hop over the dog statues
to get through the opening.
Once through there
will be a crocodile taking a relaxing swim in a shallow pool.
Just run through or go around to the window in the brick wall. Jump up and pull
yourself through the opening and drop down on the other side. There is a ladder
around and to your left. Climb up the ladder and pull both of the levers at the
top. A door will open below you and to the right while another door opens
further down. Go through the open door and you will find yourself near some
lava.
Take a standing leap
with a grab to get onto the monkey bars above you. Climb through as far as you
can and turn to face the back wall before dropping onto the slope. Slide
but be prepared to grab the ledges as you slide backward for a soft landing. If
you slide forward Lara may not survive the slide. The door is open at the
bottom. You are back where you began the level. It isn't time to explore the
cavern yet so go the way you did in the beginning and over the ledges to the
buildings and the rose ladder area. Just continue past the buildings and keep
running forward toward the brick wall and the forest beyond.
There is a place to
climb over on the left of the brick wall. Once over you will be in the forest.
Ahead of you is a large waterfall. Go to the waterfall front and slightly left
of center to pull up onto the wall.
Run along the top to
the back of the waterfall and climb the bricks on your left. Drop down. There
is a passageway on the left and the first secret(a large medical pak or skull).
There is a climbable surface to your left as you leave the small tunnel. Climb
back out onto the ledge and notice the small medical pak on the waterfall wall.
Go get it. Near this area is another passageway. If you are standing facing the
top of the waterfall the passageway is on your right from where you picked up
the small medipak. You may be able to see the top of the entrance from where
you are standing. It is very dark so just leap over until Lara drops down or is
standing above the opening.
Once there you will
have to crawl into the opening at first but then you can stand. Go down the
path and follow it to your right and at the end pull up and into a room with
two levers. To your left is a dungeon. Next to the levers is another skull.
After you grab the skull pull the levers. Jump down and go around to the left
and through an opening. Follow it around until you are inside the dungeon. Pick
up the medical pak and compass and return to the room with the two levers.
Now climb back onto
the platform and run across and go around to your right. There is an opening
and a pool of water. Swim through the opening below you. Now you are in a
magical room with a reflection of Lara, a
crocodile and a skull within the mirror! *note: There is a sort of bug here
that makes it look as though the two Laras are attached by a long rope. It
doesn't
interfere with game play so I left it alone. Not sure how to fix this.))
OK; Swim through the
opening in the wall and go through the passageway stopping to get air along the
way. At the end swim down into the room with the crocodile and grab the skull
and go back the way you came to escape the croc. Get some air on the way back
and swim back through and out to the room with the two levers and dungeon.
Return through the viney passageway and back the way you came in. Once at the
end jump up and grab the wall and climb out next to the waterfall. Get back
onto the waterfall wall and jump into the pool below. Swim through the opening
and follow the passageway. Pull up at the end.
You are in a room with
a skeleton, a golden skull and a lever switch. Pull the switch and climb up the
ladder. In the path ahead is another switch. Push the lever which will open a
trapdoor back in the area with the rose ladder and the gong on the ledge. The
opening is on the ground next to the pillars across from the rose ladder. Pull
up at the end and out onto the rocky ledge and return to the rose ladder area.
Jump into the opening
and swim pull up and push the next lever in a small room which opens out into a
large granite cave. Jump onto the transparent block and grab the rope when you
can. Swing from the rope and onto the ledge. Eventually pull the lever and get
the skull and pull up out of this area. Follow the path until you come to the
next lever and a ladder. Push the lever and climb up and out. You are once
again in the cavern. Watch out for three very hungry crocodiles. Now the
silvery blue door should be open. Look for any skulls or medipaks and proceed
into the open doorway which leads into a cave. Watch out for a different enemy
here.
Climb the rock wall at the end and pull up into a dark room with a lever
switch. Over next to the wall opposite the switch is a hole in the floor and
secret #2 (medical pak). Grab that and return to the switch, pull it and jump
back to avoid the trap. You have also awakened an annoying mummy. Sidestep the mummy and
climb the surface near the ledge where you entered and into a room above you.
Watch out so your face
doesn't get eaten off by crocs! When you can pull up and run down the path
while avoiding the lava areas. At the end climb up the rocky surface and
continue to climb up until you are in the
dungeon. There are two levers and a skull to grab.
Pull the levers and
grab the medipak and skull. More rumbling noises are heard. Go back the way you
came. Lara will have to crouch and lower herself backwards to return to the
lower ledge. The lava has flooded the
room! Make sure Lara has full life. Lara will have to take a standing leap with
a grab to grasp the ceiling so she can monkey swing across. Near the end of the
tunnel Lara can drop to the ledge below. You will have to be careful not to go
all the way to the end or Lara will fall into the room below and die. Drop
almost at the end and onto the rock below. Turn and climb back down into the
room below where you released
the mummy. He is still wandering around. The door is open so go through and at
the end you will be in a dwelling area.
Open all the levers
and explore the rooms. One of the rooms has a lever switch up on a
ledge as well as secret #3 (a skull). You will encounter a few minor baddies.
Once you have explored and opened the doors go out into the path with the
roses. The blue lightning at the end of the path signals the end of the level.
Congratulations! )
