Twin Towers
By Leroy Perkins
Review:
The first level is quite short; there you need to keep pouring the water
to three pools and the purpose is to get the crowbar from behind the grills. The
second part is more complicated, but it's not too possible to be blocked. I've
found the Shotgun; this was a little cunning as I picked up the Gate Key
sooner, the ladder vanished. I've also found the Uzis, the Revolver and the
Laser Sight but it has only calculated the Shotgun as a Secret. There weren't
many enemies, in the first level there was only a few scorpions and a ninja,
and crocodiles and skeletons in the second. I had to get the Gate Key, the
Guardian Key and the Golden Vraeus till at last the
Breast Plate was mine, and I got back to the first level's beginning. I had to
keep pulling and pushing levers. In aggregate I liked the level; there weren't
hardly implementable jumps or runs. It was a good
recreation. The added sounds are good, too.
Walkthrough:
Part 1:
Go in the building and there to the right. Hang over the now dry pool
and climb up the shaft to the right. Climb up the ladder to the first column,
pull the block once, then you can climb onto the other block, turn round and
hitch the wall lever. You'll fall into the now full pool. Swim to the other
pool via the underneath duct, then swim to the right; on the other side you can
go to a now dry, third pool. Hang over it too, and push the brown block on the
other side. Climb up in the corner and push the button. The grills are now open
at the watery pool. Go in and push the lever. Get through the fires; they don't
burn in the middle. Climb up in the corner, this way you get back to the now
waterlogged pool. Swim to the lever and pull it. Now you can go behind the
grills, at the other side kill the two little scorpions and the crowbar is
yours. Go back to the fiery room, push the lever again and now you haven't any
business than go back to the level's beginning and go to the other direction in
the building. Flex out the Iron Gate, kill the ninjas inside and pick up which they leave us. Hang up to the
upstairs, go into the duct and step onto the weight-switch in the corner and
stir, dash into the opened gate at the end of the corridor and that's the end
of the first level.
Part 2:
Dash as fast as you can, run to the left round the corner, this way
you'll avoid the wheeling blocks. Face right, you can hang up round the corner;
shoot the vases and push the button, but this may as well do backwards, later. Slide
down, then you can shoot the vases in the hall and get up just the duct. In the
next room go to the right, the left would take back to the level's beginning,
but it'll be later. After the big comedown kill the two enemies, and get into
the water. One place you get air, but not crawl out yet there, preferably
locate the other duct. During the road, pick up what you find, of course. Get
out, hitch down the wall lever from the top of the stairs, then swim back to
the previous place and press the button by the stairs. Swim back totally and
climb up the ladder. You'll reach back to the hall, but before you'll hear a
horrible scream :-) Pull the lever and get up the top floor again. Now going on
to the left you'll reach back to a junction at the level's forefront; during
the travel pick up the Uzi ammo, too. At the new locality kill the ninja, pick up
some flares and climb up the ladder then grab the edge with an overturning
somersault. Face left then you can climb up to the crawlspace from the roof,
this hides the UZI. Get back onto the roof then jump over to the other side and
there jump to the other side at the end, too and push the lever. Climb up the
ladder again and jump to the opened grid and pull the wall lever. Right now get
to the top and you'll get to a new court through the opened platform. Bounce to
the right then to the opposite, there, after a little hopscotch, over the
slopes jump ahead, then press the left-right cursor and Lara'll
be able to move on to either side. On the other side pull the lever after
shooting the vase, then get back. Jump without using the ctrl to the Uzi ammo
and you'll get down from there. Unfortunately, temporarily you can't crawl back
as the platform hasn't opened yet in the corner. If you have killed the new
enemy, run through the corridor, then you can pull a lever to the right for
some Uzi ammo; go to the opposite and there go to the right after an enemy and
you'll find a ladder. Climb up, bounce over the planks and columns and pull the
lever. Now you can go back the previous court, and can climb up the ladder
through the opened platform. Jump to the opposite where the other platform has
been opened, then sidle to the left. DO NOT pick up the key, because the ladder
would disappear on the way to the shotgun, you'll pick it up backwards. At
first go back and up into the crawlspace through the ladder, and the shotgun in
the Secret is yours (on me it counted only this gun for a secret). Shoot the
new enemy, but economize on the shotgun shells. Now you can go back for the
Gate Key, pick it up and slide down. Go that way where you've climbed up the
ladder, but now first go to the left on the stairs; jump over the rope and use
your key. Get down on the shaft, kill the two scorpions and pull the lever. Now
go back to the ladder, climb up and shoot the skeleton to the deep with the
shotgun. Bounce to the opened grid; during the way there will be 3 more
skeleton, then pick up the Guardian Key inside, but jump back at once. Go down,
one more ninja will disturb you, and then use the key. You arrive to a new
locality. Go into the water, then back and kill the crocodiles. Now swim to the
second building to the left and get in through the small duct. At the back
you'll find the Laser Sight and the Golden Vraeus. After
you swam out face right, go in behind the house and up the ladder. Use your
godsend and pull the lever. Jump to the opposite, then fall below and go into
the duct. You'll arrive to the roof which on the opposite corner the revolver
will be yours. Fall down and go in the opened door. Pull the lever and then go
back where you found the Golden Vraeus. Climb up, and
before you'll jump to the revolver ammo, to the right shoot the vase in the
wall. You can do this by jumping up with pistols. On the other side, after a
little crawl the Breast Plate is yours at last. Crawl back, jump into the water
and swim through the big grid. As you come there the big gate will open; go up
the slope and this is the end of the level.

Addendum by the author: There are three sercets, believe me. The uzis,
pistol, and laser are not them. Secret 2 is in the rope swing room, swing over
the other side and slide down the slope and jump and grab at the end. You
should see a crawl space. Secret 3, after you shoot the vase to open the doors
between the two towers you can swim through a hole near where the laser sight
was. I make my secret hard but the rest of the level reasonably straight
forward. It's a concept I call playability. I hate dark small claustrophbic levels where go get stuck on ever turn. I
like to run and gun.
