Background

Lara is exploring the mountains of Anhui, in Eastern China. However, this is no vacation; a local relic, the Amethyst of Anhui, has been stolen, and Lara's nemesis, Pierre Dupont, has been spotted by the locals. Suspecting that Pierre is responsible, Lara decides to pursue him, and learn a little bit about Chinese Philosophy on the way.

Hints

I've added some hints below in case you want a nudge in a certain direction, but don't want to read a walkthrough with spoilers.

***

The red trap room with falling floors -- This is challenging execution wise but I promise you it's not that bad once you know the path Lara needs to take. Use the flyby sequence and look around you to determine a safe path across the lava. If you can't see the spikes retract in and out when you're hanging from the ceiling, you can use the sound cue of the spikes to time your descent just right.

"One step at a time is good walking" -- This is very literal. Don't do ANYTHING else but walk.

Getting the Gold Dragon is very tricky. It's easy to find, yes, but how do you open the door that leads to it? The answer is not found in the library. Here's another hint -- I didn't add the crowbar to the game for it only to be used once :p

The fiery trap room with the moving flame -- There are 3 buttons that need to be pushed. The left and right buttons are much easier as you can just stand in the outer corner to avoid the moving flame, and shimmy from one side of the platform to the other. The middle button is difficult, and you'll need to carefully time your jumps over the flame. Take your time, save scum if you need to, and you'll be fine.

"If you bow at all, bow low" -- You might not know this, but Lara can pick up the torch and throw it while in crouch mode.

Try to conserve ammo and medipacks for the endgame. If you fight the boss with pistols only, you're going to have a bad time. If you find all 3 secrets, you'll get a sweet weapon.
