ORC21-THE LOST PYRAMID.
Level by BlackwolfTR
Walkthrough by Dutchy.
1 Secret.
Lever One, Crystal 1.
Lara
drops into a large cave with The Lost Pyramid. Run jump NW to the ledge
(with the closed door), jump till you are at the palm tree and then stand
jump and grab the ledge with the lever, shimmy left into the corner and pull
up, this is the only spot from where you can operate that lever, a door
opened.
Secret: Look NE
and jump to that slanted ledge, crawl through a dark opening and get the
Secret,
a Medipack and the
Grenade gun. Get back outside.
Slide down to the ground and shoot the 2 Coyotes. Go S along the base of the
Pyramid and get a
small medipack on the right. Go S and left around the
corner to the door you opened (SE), go in and right, shoot the mummy and
follow through, standing close to that big vase you can grab the monkey
climb, follow that while timing the flames and drop at the end, grab the
Shotgun at your feet. Pull that
block right once and climb up and grab up left (W), shoot the box and get
the Crystal. Get down and hang
from the block to shimmy left and get on the monkey climb again. Get back to
the entrance room and place the Crystal there.
Go in
and either slide down the pole past the cutter or safety drop down when the
thing is on the other side. Use the lever in the dark pit and get back up
the pole, the door N is now open. Get through and notice the Scarab tile,
meaning we need the Scarab
Beetle here. Go out to the Cave
and shoot a Ninja which will drop
Shotgun ammo.
Lever Two, Open a Door.
Climb up
the rock ledges left to the SE corner and run jump NE to get to those
Flares. Run jump to the palm
tree N (careful, short ledge!). Go along the rock wall to run jump to Lever
2. A door opens and Ninjas emerge. Safety drop from the back side of the
pillar and notice the door. Hop out of the corner and shoot the spider. Head
SW to the corner where we started and up the ladder to the ledge above. Take
care of the two Ninjas and enter the passage, go right and right around the
corner is a lever opening the next door (W), shoot the Mummy and left around
the corner is a lever for the next door (N), go in and use the lever in the
back. Go back a bit and grab up left into a crawlspace with
Flares, drop out the other end,
N is a closed door and S is where we’ve been, go there and use the lever
left. Back into the same N passage where the door in the end is now open.
Use the lever and see that door in the corner of the Cave open up. So get
out and down to the Cave floor, to the NE and use the reach-in switch where
the door opened. The door opens on the SW ledge. Get back there, up the
ladder, jump NW to the open door.
Torch Puzzle, Crystal 2 and the
Scarab Beetle.
Shoot
the Coyote and grab a Torch from the high pedestal N and ignite it on the
burning wall torch. Now, there’s a simple trick to get the Torch up to the
ledge N, but you are supposed to ignite the wall torch S, the block goes
down and reveals Crystal 2. Now hop onto the block NE, the one next to the
high N ledge and drop the Torch on it (hit the #1 key and Lara drops the
Torch). Take the Crystal out, jump over to the ledge S and enter the room
there, place the Crystal and the door left opens up. Go in and use the lever
left to raise the block with the Torch. Shoot the box for some
Shotgun ammo, notice the Scarab
tile and return to the room where the Torch is. Go up the ladder to the high
ledge, pick up a small medipack
and then your Torch, ignite the wall torch and two blocks go down, revealing
the Beetle and the
Winding Key. Get those and
return to the room where you used the Crystal, left through the door and
combine the Beetle and the Key to place the Beetle on the Scarab tile.
Pyramid Key I.
Go in,
shoot the Harpy and grab the Scarab Beetle again (we need it later). In the
sarcophagus is a Medipack, go
into the passage with the traps, run past the chain, stand close to the
blade (dead centre) and roll through when the blade is open. The next one is
nasty, I did a side flip diagonally through the Blade. Climb up and pick up
the Pyramid Key I. Now you have
to get back through those traps.
Pyramid Key II.
Go
outside shooting a Ninja on the way (Shotgun
ammo) and make your way to the door in the SE corner of the Cave, at the
Crustal left through the big door and use the Beetle the second time. Door
opens left, follow through and come to a room with a large Blade, the scarab
tiles have traps… You have to get into the passage in the back/left (a run
jump over the blade and scarab tile to the back wall and a side flip over
the scarab tile in the passage). There’s a Harpy in there, stand with your
back in corner and shoot it. Grab
Pyramid Key II and shoot the box for some
Shotgun ammo.
Using the Pyramid Keys, Nasty
Traps below the Pyramid.
Get
back, run around the room after the Blade and go out to the
Pyramid, shoot the Ninja and place the two keys on the S side. The doors
open up revealing a big hole under those blocks. Safety drop down into the
water below. Swim W and right/left, time the traps (spikes were the most
important I think) and use the underwater lever (#1), get back, to the shaft
for some air (you cannot really surface) and go do the other side for
underwater lever (#2), the door in that back tunnel is now open.
The Golden Vraeus.
Go
through and open the underwater door, go up the long shaft and climb out in
the top of the Pyramid. Pick up a
small medipack and from the Sarcophagus you will get what we came for…
the Golden Vraeus. Back flip
over one of the sides and slide down, shoot two Coyotes while looking for
the Big Guy and shoot him to get the
Pillar of Demigod. Go use that N of the Pyramid to open the big doors,
go through and follow up to the surface…
