WALKTHROUGH

You start the level inside the zoo. Going forward and entering to the souvenirs area, you will meet a guard in your way. It's a little late so the souvenir shops are closed, but Lara's interest is Sophia anyway...

Going to the central pool area, you have three paths to choose. To the right are the ground animals, to the left the water animals and ahead the flying animals. In order to meet Sophia, you will need the three roses each area holds.

Start by going to the path to the right. In the area with the tables and sunshades you will meet two more guards. Kill them and grab the small medipack one of them drops. Now you have three choices - to the left you can have a look at the bears; to the right you can have a look at the white tigers and right ahead is the guard tower.

Go to the guard tower and deal with the guards inside it. Grab the Grappling Gun + Lasersight on the pedestal at the center of the room. The guards drop some items so get them - you might need them! There's a button near the windows, but first look at the ceiling. You will see a ring, shoot it and get the items on the taller level on this room and you will occasionally find the SECRET of the level.

Now push the button and go through the new passage. Push the lever to open the door so you can have a closer look at the tigers. Watch out as they are in a high number, after getting them out of your way, go to the other side of their cage and climb to the upper room. Here, in this small room you will find the GROUND ROSE. Two more to go.

Now go back to the central pool room and take the water animals path. Soon you'll find three paths. To the right you can see the crocodiles and find a M3 SUPER 90; ahead you find a closed dark guard room and to the left you can go through the sharks aquarium. Take this path. You will find yourself in another pool room with two waterfalls. Swim through the hidden passage to the right and in the end you'll be at the top of this room. Don't forget to get the second M3 SUPER 90 at the cavey area. In the end of the bridge, pull the lever to activate a flipamp - now you can enter a secret room behind a waterfall. Pull the lever inside it to open the guard room.

In this guard room, you find a button that opens the door at the bridge you were minutes ago. Go back there. Getting through it, there is a little tunnel with snakes spitting darts at you. In one of these niches there's a ladder but don't climb it yet. With your grappling gun, look up and shoot the window at the top. Now climb up and backflip to get access to the sharks room. Swim and get the WATER ROSE but watch out - it seems like the sharks haven't been feeded lately...

To the flying area now. In the passage before the metal tunnel, light a flare - a hidden passage! Enter it and pull the lever to open the door at the bottom of the birds room. Now go through the metal tunnel and pull the lever to open the gate. Grab the SUBMACHINE GUNS and then get the cage out of your way. In this bridge room, look at the ceiling - another ring! Getting to the other side of this room, climb the stairs and pull the lever - watch out, you just freed birds that are not friendly.

Going to the bottom of this room, enter the small room and get the AIR ROSE. Good, now you've got the three roses, time to discover the secret Sophia's hideout of this zoo! Go back to the central pool room and dive in.

You'll find yourself in a room with four passages. Use the three roses (one in each passage) and then go through the black passage. Pull the lever and run past the flame emmiters. You'll find yourself in a white, apparently empty room... pick the object so Sophia will know you arrived!

The final battle begins. Not much to explain here unless SURVIVE. Sophia will drop you a golden tear, which will take away the lava and you have to get the four artifacts in the niches in order to open the door. Fall down to the water and cross the door. The golden tear fits in that snake.

End of level.

SPOILER: it seems Sophia thought about everything... will Lara survive?
