Return
to Egypt.
Author: Titak
Review:
This is a two-part level, although you play the first part two times. The
first level reminded me of Nevada (TRIII) and I like it. Lara gets the first HAND
OF SIRIUS there. In the second level you have to go to underground to get the
second HAND OF SIRIUS. In the first level you will collect the CARTOUCHE PIECE
#1 while the CARTOUCHE PIECE #2 awaits Lara in the second part. You have to get
two EYE PIECES from underground. The underground was a bit depressing for me
'cause I don't like dark places. The enemies aren't so dangerous: bedouins,
crocs, scorpions, ninjas and mummies. During the second play I didn't need any
medpacks in spite of I used pistols right through. It's true once I used the
gateway between the 2 levels. :-) The textures fit well with the level but
unfortunately there are no added sounds. I like the alteration followed by the
earthquake. Unfortunately I found only 5 secrets - 3 in the first and 2 in the
second level - so these will be in my walkthrough too. I found 2 Crossbows, 2
Shotguns and 1 Uzi. I didn't manage to find the Grenadegun, I suppose it would
had been collected from one of the secrets.
Walkthrough:
1. The Oasis
Go to the right, jump
to the opposite side, sidle to the left on the edge and then jump to the
opposite side again to the big medipack. Climb on and jump to the left. Go to
the left and go into the room after two Tuaregs. Push the opposite column to
the left onto the sign and now you can go in for the shotgun. You'll arrive to
the other side by hanging on the ceiling to an area. Don't go to the opposite,
that'll be the levels' end, but above the entrance is the #1 secret, if you'll
hang up. Go to the right and totally back, then enter into the precipice with
the wall climbing and climb up on the other side.
Meanwhile, look in
everywhere, because there are a lot of pickups. You'll get to an area again,
and if your life stripe is small, go to the right and you can go across to the
next level in the second small lake, and your energy will be full by turning
back to the first level at once. Look in every building. From the left, in the
first you値l find the revolver. Go on and you'll find a small
corridor between two buildings, to the left from the big gate, which leads to a
new small area. Go totally back to the right, and go down the ladder in the
building. Pull the lever at the back, then a grid will open opposite to the
small area's entrance, pull the lever there, too. Thus The Hand of Sirius will
be yours in one of the storehouses. Go back to another area. In a storehouse,
behind the boxes you'll find the #2 secret by pushing a box.
Now go towards the
pool and on the other side pull the wall lever in the building. Jump into the
water, of course after you killed the crocodile. Draw out the others, and kill
them, too. Now you can swim peacefully, and go out, climb up the pole, jump
from the rope and pull the lever which opens the big door outside. Go in and
the first half of the Cartouche Piece will be yours. Now go to the second small
lake and swim down, there you'll span to the second level to the right. Of
course look for some ammo and Medipack in the water.
2. Orion's Caves
In the water try to
find another cave, and there'll be the second Cartouche Piece. Match it and use
outdoors. The door opened. Go down and swim to the end of the hall in the
water. Get out and you'll arrive into a big hall, but temporarily the upper
door is closed, where you need to go. Jump down into the water and climb the
ladder in one of the corners on the shore. Above, on the other side of the hall
you'll arrive to another hall surrounded by invisible wall. Climb down; find
the crawlspace on the other side of the lava lake and you'll find the Grenade
Gun in the #3 Secret.
Climb up the other
ladder and now you have to hurry. Pull the rope then step onto the bigger
platform and run to the second place; do the same until the big door opens. Go
in and pull off the wall lever to the right, thus you are able to pick up an
Eye Piece. Go back to the big pool, climb up to upstairs and go down the stairs
through the opened grid. Downstairs notice where the big medipack is, because
that is the #4 Secret. Make a running jump to the slope, jump while you're
sliding, and press the right cursor in the air.
If you picked up the
item, slide down the slope, jump, grab the opposite cracking, swing to the left
and pull the lever in the hall, but jump back at once. Go back and now swing to
the right, then bounce over the slopes and you'll arrive to a new door. You can
pick up the flares, but jump back there, too, or you'll be flat. Also hurry
after that, because another spiky ball will come from the left-side slope. Go
up, go to the right and you'll arrive to a new hall. Pull all the four levers,
thus a door will open. Inside, jump to the left and pull the opposite lever,
then a new door will open in the main hall. There jump to the opposite, too,
and climb the ladder, jump across again, and where you jumped, in the wall rift
you'll find the Crossbow in the #5 Secret.
Pull the lever there, and then a newer door will open in the main hall. Go
in and the second Eye Piece is yours. Go totally back to the crossroads and now
go to the other direction. Climb up the pole and waft through the ropes carefully. On
the other side there will be an earthquake, and it'll transform the watery
room, but get to the other side of it, there climb up and you'll find a
crawlspace. On the other side pull the columns onto the signs and go in the
opened grid and the Revolver in the #6 Secret will be yours. It is guarded by
two mummies. Go back to the lava room, bounce to the other direction, and at
last you can use your combinate key.
Go in and pull the two
columns onto the signs then behind the opened door the second Hand of Sirius
will be yours. Climb up the pole and you'll fall into the level's beginning.
Swim back to the first level.
The Oasis (second
time)
Go back to the level's
beginning, to the area where you didn't go into the other duct. Now go in, and
climb down the ladder into the big hall, kill the Bedouins, and place your
keys. Climb back the ladder then make a running jump to the right, grab the
edge and swing to the right. Keep jumping on, to the opposite rift, there crawl
in and pull the lever.
Backwards after the
rift jump to the left, slide down back, grab the edge, and sidle to the right
until it's possible. Raise yourself, slide, and pull the left cursor while
you're in the air and the big medipack will be yours over the gate. Climb up
the ladder once more, jump over again, and the fresh Crossbow will be yours in
the last (7) Secret. Go in the open gate and finish the level.
