City of Yazd.
Get ready to do battle after the flyby
and shoot those Thieves. One will drop
Barbari Bread (small medipack). Shoot those vases next to the big doors to
the right and get the Persian Light
Sticks (Flares).
There are several
ways to go through this level; this is the one we chose because of the Dagger of
Time that is needed for the Secrets.
Go left into the street (S) and to the
left on the tables are the Yazd Old
Quarter Tourist Guide, a Shotgun
and Shotgun ammo.
-
Yazd Old Quarter Tourist Guide -
-
Babylon Bathhouse: Built atop ancient River Temple.
-
Mevlana Palace: Sufi Library and Zikr Hall.
-
Yazd Fire Temple: Witness the Eternal Flame of Zoroaster.
-
Royal Gardens: Built in 550BC by Cyrus the Great.

Next to the market stalls on the other
side (W) is more Barbari Bread under
a vase.
Desert Caves.
Go back where you came from (N) and
left, walk onto the tip of the ledge at the abyss and run jump a bit to the
right to grab the slanted rock in the opening right a bit right from the corner.
Shimmy right around to where you can pull up. Run jump up to the ledge W, climb
up and grab Persian Light Sticks,
grab the monkey climb at the pit on the left and go over to the other side (E),
right around the corner to a lever which will raise a platform.
Choose how to get back, hop out of the
opening and jump to shimmy around the rock or use the monkey climb again and
take some damage by the darts. Either way you have to get back where you got the
Persian Light Sticks. Drop out of the opening there (S) and shoot the critter.
Jump and grab the rock right and shimmy around to the backside where you can
pull up and back flip to the ground (or shimmy all the way).
Yazd Fire Temple, the Ancient Dagger (Crowbar).
Go up to the lever on the ledge W and
the gates open up left and right; two Thieves attack. Enter the gate S; go left
to the Fire Temple, shoot a Thief and then the vase right of the steps for some
Barbari Bread and go inside. On a
small table is the Ancient Dagger. Go
back out, to the right to the abyss.
Desert Caves, Push Walls.
Pass the abyss into the gate N, go
straight to a Lava river. Jump over to grab the opposite ledge in front of the
right hand blue push wall, pull up and side flip away to the right, triggering
the traps, you have to follow that ledge to the other end. Time the sliding
walls and run jump onto the higher part, then hop forward onto the next higher
part and run jump with a right curve to land on a slope behind the last push
wall, jump right up onto a ledge with a vase (savegame.0).
Get the Barbari Bread from the vase
and jump to grab the ladder around the corner, go up to back flip onto a
walkway. Go over to the S side and run jump over a set of Blades to get to the
other end of the passage. Jump over to the ledge with the lever which will open
a gate on the lower level and get the
Magnum ammo from the vase before you jump back over to get to the Blade
trap.
The Magic Staff.
Jump over those Blades and safety drop
down through the hole at the end of the walkway. Jump to the rope and swing to
the opened gate, go to that Tomb and pick up
Shotgun ammo. To the right you can
spot the Magic Staff.
Go straight S to a Lava room with
pillars. Time your jump to bypass the Axe, then time your jump to the moving
knives (N). Take a left and side flip through the circular blades, down some
steps and get the Magic Staff. Back
through the Blades and jump over the pit with the Axe to the right (S).
Lava Jumps, the Temple Side door key.
Hop and grab the first pillar, time that
flame on the pillar right and when it is burning about a second, pull up and
jump, jump again and grab the pillar with the burner. Hang left and pull up on
the corner, time the push wall you can see left in front and run jump onto the
slanted pillar W, jump and run jump straight through onto the corner slope, jump
again to grab a pillar with a burner, get on the corner and time the burner to
jump the last two pillars and hop to grab the ledge (savegame.1)
where you’ll find the Fire Temple Side
door key.
Yazd Fire Temple 2, Yazd City Seal #1, Royal Gardens key.
Grab up E and slide back down to the
Desert caves, shoot a Thief. Straight ahead (E) you can see the Temple. Turn
right and go S to Main-street. Take a left and go to the second set of doors to
the right. Left of those is a vase with
Shotgun ammo. Now look NE to spot the side door to the Temple and open it
with the Fire Temple Side door Key. Inside to the right is a Timed lever raising
two blocks further along this passage, time the burners, jump onto the blocks
and turn around on the second to grab up to the grate above (or do a running
jump to grab the ledge ahead) (Savegame.2).
Go into the structure to get your
First
Yazd City Seal. Go S and left on the
grate is a yellow crystal, shoot it to get the
Magic Staff Super ammo. To the right
is some Barbari Bread. To the S on
the small table is the Royal Gardens Key.
If you are not going for the Secrets, safety-drop down from that ledge to the
stairs at the Side door.
Secret Detour: go
to the NW corner of the outer ledge, face W at the opening in the grate and
safety-drop when you can see the burner went off. You’ll land on the lowered
block. Turn around and jump over the burner into the opening E, go up the stairs
and shoot the yellow crystal for Magic
Staff Super ammo. Hop back a bit and left is
Secret #1, the
Jewel of Zoroaster you can pry off
the wall. Go back down and follow the passage with the burners back to the side
door.
To the Persian Gardens, Second Yazd City Seal.
Go out to Main-street and straight into
the street S, first doorway on the right has
Persian Light Sticks to the right.
Back to the left to Main-street and on
the right is the bathhouse, but we need a key. So go straight up a ramp through
an open gate and spot the big gate on the right where we need those City Seals.
Shoot the nearby vase for Magnum ammo
and go left (N) to the next area and to the left on a table is some
Barbari Bread. Turn around and open
the gate to the Gardens with the Royal Gardens Key.
Enter and a vase left (NW) has
Explosive Arrows. There are several
doors to open here, go down the stairs to the other end and find 3 levers to the
right.
Lever Puzzle, 3 Seals.
1: From left to right, pull lever
#3, enter the S door and stand on the side of the table, grab the
Crossbow and hop back, wait for the
boulder to pass and get Poisoned and
Normal Arrows from the table, get out and take on two Thieves.
2: Pull lever #2, go back up the
stairs towards the entrance and straight into the door, hop onto the sloped
block left, sliding down the right hand side of it hop to the second one and hop
with a right curve onto the big slope, slide and jump to grab the pillar and
pull up, slide jump into the opening. Step in carefully and hop back to let the
boulder pass. Go up the boulder slope and jump over the hole to that jump lever.
Do the same jumps over the slopes again and once in the opening, go left over
the boulder and through the now open door to get
Seal of Cyrus #1. Run up the slope W
and get the Explosive Arrows. Back
down, straight and over the boulder, up the boulder slope and down at the jump
lever, go left through the door and straight down to the levers again.
3: Pull lever #1, go back up the stairs and take a right into the door that is across from the entrance, take a right up the steps and go in carefully. Get through the Blade traps by crawling and running at the right time and get Seal of Cyrus #2. Back through the Blades and back to the levers.
4: Pull lever #3 back up; go up the stairs to the upper ledge, go to the right (E) to enter the high door across from levers. Run jump to the flat ledge right and stand right while facing the wall, use Ctrl and Lara pulls up into a niche behind the orange plant, push the button to activate a raising block in the spike pit. Get onto that block and jump to grab the opening across the room. Push the big button there and a platform goes up in the room below this one. Hop back to the block, notice the gate left (for later) and jump back to the entrance, go down to the levers.
5: Pull lever #2 back up and pull lever #3 down, roll and enter the lower door E across from switches, jump over the platform and the block to the button; which will open the gate in the room above. Get back to the levers.
6: Pull
lever #2 down and pull lever #3 back up, enter the upper door behind you (E)
again, jump to the ledge, the block and into the open gate to get
Seal of Cyrus #3. The block goes
down and a rope appears, use that to get back across and stay on this high level
to use the 3 Seals of Cyrus on the left (S). A trapdoor opens and a ladder goes
up.
If you want a
Secret, get down to the levers first.
Pull lever #1 up so only #2 is active, which opens
secret door up above.
Go to the ledge where you placed the
Seals and jump to the ladder to climb up to the top. Get the
Second Yazd City Seal. Shoot the
yellow crystal for Magic Staff Normal
ammo.
Go N along this
side to find the door you opened on the left and get
Secret #2, the
Jewel of Cyrus,
Magic Staff Normal ammo from the
crystal, a Full Survival Kit
(Medipack) in the other corner and
Shotgun ammo from the vases. Now you could go back down and out of the
entrance door, or just hop over the side into the river below.
To the Babylon Bathhouse.
To enter the bathhouse, we only need to
jump into the river somewhere and follow the current, when you are in the
brighter pool in the bathhouse, you can get out at the stairs N. Straight N is
the entrance gate we bypassed. Go there and take a right, in the corner climb up
left to the window and get Uzi clips.
Go back to the gate and straight W, around the corner is a
Full Survival Kit. Go back and loop
right around the corner at the statue and into the passage with the red bush.
Shoot some vases in the end and get the
Barbari Bread. There is a big block there we need to lower. Turn around and
enter the opening on the right (E). Jump to the right onto the ledge and up to
the pillar, take a running jump to the next and slide down. Now jump over the
water to the ledge S and get Uzi clips.
Lower the Blocks on the Levers.
Now jump onto the waterfall and drop in
the water and let the current drag you down to the lower pool. Once down turn W,
swim to the N wall and find an opening, swim in the small tunnel and take a
right. Grab the Uzis in the corner
and turn around, swim back W and take a left and get out of the pool. If
possible kill the snake. Go to the gate (N) and use the lever that is on the
left (two blocks go down in the bathouse).
Go to the SW corner and swim into the
waterfall W and up, you get back to the upper pool. Get out at the steps (N). Go
up and left into the passage with the red flowers and save at the now avaýlable
Timed lever there.
Timed Swim to the Raising Blocks, Jump Lever #1.
Pull the lever, turn left and grab up at
the blue tiled wall, pull up into the openýng and slide into a pool with
current, swim straight up against the current and you’ll drop down that
waterfall agaýn, turn around (W) and swim to the right into a small tunnel N,
left around two corners and then you can go up to the RIGHT and climb out (save
in a fresh slot while pulling up). Run and jump into the opening NW, turning
left jump through the swords to the first timed block, hop to the next ledge
with swords and then to block 2, another jump will get you to safe ground (savegame.3).
Shoot a vase SW for
Uzi clips, go to the passage on the
left (E). Inside is a slanted block, backflip on the slanted block and jump to
the ledge.
A run jump will get you to the jump
lever (#1). Swim into the tunnel straight ahead (and a bit to the right, N) and
take a left for some Persian Light
Sticks. Turn around and swim left, then right and up to climb out.
Now we need to do another Timed swim,
but this time we go to the E side. Dive into the pool, swim into the waterfall W
and you’ll get up to the pool above (you need to swim up straight or you will
fall back down). The current will take you left to the stairs N. Go left at the
statue and into the passage with the red bush and this time go left down into
that opening before the lever (as before). Jump to the right onto the ledge with
the columns and make your way to the E end. Then jump up left (NE) into the
windowsill and save at the lever (the block covering the lever should be down).
Timed Swim to the Raising Blocks, Jump Lever #2.
Same thing as before: Pull the lever,
hop back and run jump S into the water while turning left, drop down the
waterfall, turn around (W) and swim to the right into the tunnel N, left around
two corners and then you can go up to the LEFT and climb out (save in a fresh
slot while pulling up).
Run NE and curve sharp right so you can
jump to the first block from the right hand side of the knife trap, maybe a step
forward and hop to the ledge, landing on the edge, quickly go forward a bit when
the knife trap is up and hop to the second block and a running jump will get you
to safety (savegame.4).
Grab the
Shotgun ammo and go to the opening
SW, backflip onto the slanted block and jump onto the ledge above. A run jump
will get you to the jump lever (#2). A gate opens up and another snake appears,
swim into the tunnel N, left around and up to climb out, go shoot that snake.
Into the open gate N and shoot vases
left to get Explosive arrows. When
you take the Babylon Bathhouse key
from the table and explosion occurs and you’ll get a screen of two ceiling
levers (We don’t really need this key to complete this
adventure, it can be used to open the Bathhouse in case you forgot the Secret
and want to come back for it later). The whole place is flooded, swim
out, up and use those ceiling levers. Gates open up in the Bathhouse and the
water level drops again.
Secret Detour:
Get air, swim SE or SW and either left or right through a brown door that opened
under water, pull the lever there and swim back to the pool. Go back into the
tunnel N (left and right in the corner rooms the
Uzi and Persian Lights Sticks
appears again as well as a snake). Then go up at the opening and jump over to
the golden block, which went up at the opened gate to the Secret room (S). Get
Uzi clips,
Shotgun ammo under the vase left,
Magic Staff Flash ammo after
shooting that yellow light and finally
Secret #3, the
Jewel of Ishtar, next to the table
on the wall.
Getting Out, to the Rooftops, Yazd City Seal #3.
Swim up the W side waterfall, upstairs
go left to the stairs N and get out, left into the passage with the red plant,
left down into the opening to the pool and hop onto the ledge on the right. Jump
to the gates you opened (up S). Go through the gate outside on the terrace is a
Full Survival Kit, go back to one of
the open gates and up the ladder there. Back flip from the ladder and shoot two
Thieves roaming the rooftops of the bathhouse. Along the E side is a yellow
crystal with Magic Staff Flash ammo,
on a small table N is another Yazd City
Seal #3. Go to the W side of the roof, hop over the ramparts and go left all
the way to the end to where you can cross over to the building W.
Mevlana Palace, Yazd City Seal #4.
Jump to the ledge SW, then to that arch
and into the next windowsill to get the
Mevlana Palace key. Through the window you can see your next goal, the City
Seal. Back onto the arch, jump to the ledge on the right (S) and swallow a
medipack, do a trick jump down to the windowsill below (stand a bit from the
edge, hop backwards off the edge and hit Ctrl when you are just below the edge).
Grab the Magnum ammo there and jump
NE to the floor. Go up the steps left and open the Palace with the Mevlana
Palace Key.
Enter and pick up the Stone Tablet from
the table, a flyby will show you around.
Examine the Tablet:
"Welcome, traveler.
Where have you come from, and where are you going?
Do you even remember?
Look deep into the mirror to see through the illusions.
Find your way back to the truth."
The Magnum, open the Gate.
First go left into the passage E and get
the Magnum ammo from the table, back
to the big room and left (S), go straight to the next room and there is a mirror
in the back. When you stand left on that higher flowerbed and look SW, you can
see in the mirror that one of the wooden panels next to the double door on the
right when looking in the mirror has an opening. So back to the entrance room
and jump over the left red couch through the wood panel right of the green vase
with the plant. Follow the passage up to the
Magnum and push the big button on
the W wall to see a gate open up.
Go back and hop out of the hidden
passage, go straight to the Mirror room (S) and take a right there (W). In the
next room go left to the passage where that gate opened up. Next room left and
in the next room with the small table, go left (N) and come to the room behind
the mirror (which also has a mirror). Look for an opening in a wooden panel wall
(right). So that one is left when you turn around it is in the SE corner of the
room. Follow the hidden passage down to a room with a big button. It will open
some doors.
Go back out of the passage and left to
the room S, straight across are the doors you opened, go through and around the
corner some Thieves will come for you. Go straight through the next room into
the green passage (E) and shoot the vases for
Magnum ammo. Back again and right
(N), straight through the room into the passage with table and
Magnum ammo. Turn around, go back to
the last room (the one with a tree) and left to the next
and a ladder will appear (E). Go up and get the
Yazd City Seal in the windowsill.
Shoot the yellow crystal in the opposite corner to get the
Magic’s Staff Flash ammo, climb back
down.
In case you want to leave, the doors
opened E.
But if you want
the Secret: Go to the room W, go left to the next room, right in the next into
the passage with the greenery. Over the steps through the open doors and
straight to the room with the mirror…Look to the left into the mirror and you
can see an opening in the side passage, turn left and go into the passage W.
The second wall
part left isn’t what it seems, you can climb through and come to a room with a
big button, push that to open the window to the Secret room. Shoot the vase and
get Magnum ammo before you leave. Go
right around corners and when you come into a room with a dark window across the
room (W), take a left and in the next room right. Go up the steps and shoot the
crystal for Magic Staff Normal ammo,
then get
Secret #4,
the Jewel of Mevlana from the wall
left.
Go out and left
(N), take a right in the next room. In the next room go right; up the steps
through the open doors. Through the passage with the greenery and in the next
room go left, then take a right and you’re back in the room with the ladder.
Use the Yazd City Seals, a Valve Wheel.
Go out E, left on the terrace and go
right around the Bathhouse up the slope through the open gate E. Take a right
and place the 4 City Seals to open the gate. When you go through the fun starts,
a whole bunch of Thieves attack, joined by their leader. Loop left from the
entrance gate to get a Full Survival Kit
(NE) under a vase. Follow that wall to the SE corner where you can find
Arrows also under a vase. Go around
the building finding nothing but closed doors, so jump (SW) over the water to
the terrace W and grab it. Follow through to the end where the camera changes
and some thieves attack. Step through the fly curtain and end up upstairs on a
balcony (use the “look key” to look around)
The Thieves’ Hideout.
Head through E and shooting Thieves
you’ll end up at a valve wheel behind a window, use it to change the current in
the River. So go back a bit to the first balcony hop over the balustrade into
the River. Just follow the current, then left and all the way in the end climb
out left. Watch the flyby of the hideout; which ends with the Secret Jewel
guarded by Thieves. Careful! The carpets on the sandy floor are hiding Spike
traps!
Last Secret Quest:
On the top floor is a Thief in front of opened doors S, if he spots you, he will
run onto a trigger tile closing doors and sealing off the Secret. So go in
stealth mode along the left wall to a Star button on the pillar near the SE
corner, push it to open gates near the River. Left through the window you can
see a small table. Turn around and go back to the entrance, check your health,
as you have to jump over to the other side through steam vents, avoid contact as
much as possible. Loop right around and jump from side to side going upstream
and you’ll reach that small table you saw, get the
Ancient Coins.
Jump over to the
ledge at the opened gate S. Go up the ladder and back flip off, throw the nearby
lever to open a gate in the upper level of the hideout (you can see the gate
open up and also the open doors and the thief guarding them through the window).
The lever opened a gate in the corner behind him (SW). Go to the far side of
this room, get the Arrows from a
table left and hop down into the water to climb out W. Carefully enter again,
watch out for the carpets and go along the left wall again, at the Star button
look right into the SW corner and spot the triangular opening. Now go to that
Flute player (we’ll deal with him later) and cross over to the other side (W) to
back flip onto that pile of gold and jump to grab the triangle opening (best to
stand in the left corner and face SE and backflip). Climb the ladder and back
flip off to where that open gate is.
Arm yourself with
a weapon of choice and run out to the right shooting the nearby Thief. Just
right around the corner is a lower floor part, defend that at all cost and shoot
everything that moves. Enter the doors and pick up
Secret #5, the
Heart of the Desert. Shoot the
yellow crystal left for Magic Staff
Super ammo. The vases have Arrows
underneath. In case some fool closed the doors behind you, climb through the
plants SW and follow the crawlspace back to the ladder. Climb down, hang out of
the triangle opening and shimmy left a bit before you drop OR you can go all the
way to the N end and find a Master Sword Grip in the NW corner (see below).
A Master Sword.
Go up the pile of gold N and you can
jump up to the NW corner to get a Master
Sword Grip. Down one block and jump over to the NE corner, get behind the
curtains for the Master Sword Blade,
combine the two to get the Master Sword.
One corner of the room has Barbari Bread,
the other corner Persian Light Sticks.
Go out of the room and get down to
ground floor. Go right around the corners and on the other side (W) of the room
is a staircase down to the ground floor again.
A Chance to get Missing Secrets.
If you still want to go for missing
Secrets, go to the Flute Player (SE), stand back quite a bit and give him the
Ancient Coins. The doors in the passage S open up; go through them and you are
back at the Desert Caves/City where it all began. This is also what the
Bathhouse key was for, it isn’t accessible through the river anymore.
Aladdin’s Lamp.
If you got all you want, no need to open those doors S. Go to the big doors W,
left of the crates and use the Master Sword to open them. Run into another
Treasury room meet a Restless Spirit, you’ll have to avoid his attacks. Run
right around into the corner SW and use the lever there (#1 for disabling fire
traps). Then go over to the NW and find another lever (#2).
Now run to the SE corner behind that yellow contraption, using a crack to the
right. Jump up to the next crack and shimmy left around to where you see the
wooden panels. Pull up and go left through the passage where you disable the
Fire trap by using the two levers, then run jump to grab the rope, swing to the
next and then across to the opposite ledge. Take a right and follow through to
Aladdin’s Lamp, when you pick it up a cut scene takes over and the
adventure ends.
