Thank you for downloading these levels.  As you will see there are three levels (Wrath of Thor, Roman Baths and In the Lap of the Gods) plus a bonus level (Quest for the Helmet).  Clues for reaching the bonus level are at the end of this read me - although you may want to find the bonus yourself.  If so, don't read!

Secrets:	
Wrath of Thor	    3 
Roman Baths	    3 
In the Lap of the Gods  2
Bonus		    2		


Firstly, I know (now!) Thor was a Viking God and not Roman but when I made my earlier level, Temple of Thor, I only followed on from the original TR1 St Francis Folly level which had Thor as one of the puzzle room themes.  Why did the original TR designers put a Viking god in a Roman level?  


So Wrath of Thor begins where my old level, Temple of Thor, finished, i.e. with Lara picking up Thor's glove from a pedestal.  As she picks up the glove, a nearby door opens and Lara is off on a new adventure to find another glove, body armour and Thor's legendary gold hammer.  Along the way she will meet some old enemies and some new ones.  

SOME POINTS TO NOTE

In Roman Baths you will need to have the Volumetric FX switched on to show the fog.  I know some people don't like this but to play the game properly you need to see the fog.  There are only two rooms which show it and it is not thick.

In Lap of the Gods there is a trapdoor at the beginning of the level which closes once Lara has gone through it but you are able to open this trapdoor again after you have used the scroll which you need to find in this level.   I had to do this as if you were to jump back to Roman Baths once you have the scroll, it disappears from the inventory (this is a known bug and even though I put the scroll in the Roman Baths wad it still disappears).  Without the scroll you would not be able to finish Lap of the Gods.

In the bonus level you will find two torches.  You don't NEED two torches but as this part is near water, should you accidentally throw the torch in the water you will be stuck.  There is therefore a second torch nearby.

BONUS LEVEL - ONLY READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND THE LEVEL YOURSELF

1.	The bonus level is accessed from the Roman Baths level.

2.	You need three skull keys to finish Roman Baths and begin In the Lap of the Gods but four skull keys if you want to play the bonus level.

3.	You need to find at least one of the secrets after the steam room.




If you still can't find the bonus level the solution is below.  


There are actually two routes through part of the Roman Baths, both ways start in the pool after the steam room but only one route 'door' is open at a time - take a good look at the title flyby.  To switch the doors so the other door opens you need to find at least one of the secrets (there is one in each route).  To finish the level you only need to go through one route but to finish the level and find the bonus you need to play both routes as there is a skull key in each, which you will need to make up the four.  The exit to the bonus is at the end of Roman Baths and you will see there is a receptacle for the extra skull key there.
