CREATE A CLASSIC 2021 - CASTLE OF TRITON

Level by Croftyboy

Walkthrough by José

The Revolver and the Laser Sight

Jump into the sea, swim S to a nearby UW wooden crates and pick up the CROWBAR. Go back to the starting position. If you explore the NW and NE areas with the big palm trees you’ll find only wild boars. For now go through the W arches to a courtyard, the big vases near the walls can be shot to get a small medipack, the REVOLVER, the LASER SIGHT and flares. If you go through the W arch and pull the wall switch to open the double gates, you’ll find a courtyard with four Poseidon statues but we’ll need some tridents first so go back to the beach and through the open door in the N wall.

The Golden Star and the Small Waterskin

Run up the stairs and in this open area shoot three wild boars; if you go to the left niche in the E wall, Lara will look up to the ceiling, with the picture of 5 targets. Now that you have the revolver and the sight, combine them and look for some targets to shoot:

1 – On the pillar a few meters to your right (you can shoot this one with pistols).

2 – From that position, look up and slightly to the left to spot the second target attached near the top of the pillar.

3 – Now go SW and locate the next one at the top of a pillar near the entrance.

4 – There is another one at the top of the tall SE pillar around the central pool.

5 – The last one is inside the NW structure, high up.

Shooting all five targets the door with the picture above opens, so go there and pick up the SMALL WATERSKIN near the skeleton and pry the GOLDEN STAR off the wall.

The Bag of Sand

Now locate a wall switch on one of the pillars around the central pool, pull it and quickly (it’s timed) run to the structure in the NW corner before the door closes. Go to the back of the room and pick up the BAG OF SAND from the plinth, quickly jump back before the spikes under the pedestal pop up. There’s a wall switch near the door but I never need to use it because when you pick up the bag the door opens.

The Blue Crystals

Now go to the room where you got the revolver time ago and run through the NW arch. From the end of the corridor run up the wide stairs to the throne room. One of the big vases hides a small medipack and attached to the throne there are 3 X CRYSTAL you can pry off with the crowbar.

The Jerrycan and the Torch

Go back down the wide stairs and directly through the arch straight ahead to a courtyard where three wild boars await. Note the TORCHES scattered left from the entrance and pick up one of them; go to the metal doors in the NE corner, drop the torch for a moment and open the right one with your crowbar; pick up the torch and go to the bottom of the stairs, draw pistols and shoot the barriers blocking the way, pick up the torch and in the outside area light it in the burning brazier, toss the torch for a moment to pick up the JERRYCAN near the motorbike and drag the poor man to get the SHOTGUN and 2 X shotgun ammo. Take the opportunity to fill the waterskin on the seashore. Take the lightened torch with you and go all the way back to the starting area with the beach.

The Scrap of Paper

Detour for a (necessary) secret: throw the torch in front of the E metal doors and jump to the E grassy rocks with the plants in front of the sea; from the very corner take an angled standing (tricky) jump into the S opening, inside shoot the panel with your shotgun and enter to get the SECRET #1: shoot vases and explore the room to find the UZIS, 3 X uzi clips, 2 X shotgun shells, a small medipack and the most important item: the SCRAP OF PAPER. Go out to the beach, open the E metal door with the crowbar (the door to your right) and take the torch with you.

The Four Tridents

In this room you can use the crystals you get time ago to open the three doors. You can do the tasks in any order.

S Door: shoot the bats and one of the big vases too to get revolver ammo. Place, from left to right, the water (waterskin), the oil (jerrycan) and the sand (bag) on their corresponding element puzzles, finally light the oil with the torch and the door at your back opens; pick up the first TRIDENT. You can leave the torch here; you won’t need it anymore.

E Door: approach to the mirror to see the location of the tiles you must step on, now go to the entrance and start with the tile in the very NE corner, jump back (you can step onto the tiles near the entrance), go to the other corner and simply take standing jumps onto the remaining tiles to open the door in the corner where the second TRIDENT is.

N door: use the tiles with the intermittent fire emitters to cross to the other side. Remember that you are safe in the corners, so shimmy left or right to stand up on the appropriate corners so you can take standing jumps to grab the edges of the next blocks until you reach the ledge with the third TRIDENT.

The Pool: finally jump into the water in the central pool and swim (there are flares in the hexagonal passage) to the room with the last trident, jump into the water and pick up more flares near the SW corner, open the face door near the SE corner, swim a short distance, surface and run up the steps; use the wall switch to open the door and shoot the cage to release a blue wraith; exit through the dark W corridor and pull the next switch to open the door; go right and note that the surface of the pool is now frozen; run to the back of the room to get the fourth TRIDENT.

The Golden Serpent

Now go back to the starting area with the beach and again through the W arch to the room where you got the revolver a lot of time ago. Still we need one more item to proceed so go again through the NW arch to the outside area with the torches. This time press the buttons in the window sills left and right from the big gates to open them; run down the ramp and shoot several bats in the dark room. Light a flare and explore the room to find flares and uzi clips behind the stairs, place the star to open the door, go down the steps, shoot some bats and time the fire emitter to press the big button: several mirrors raise in the previous room. Go back there and move them as follows (when a mirror is on the correct tile a small white sphere appears):

Red Mirror: look to the floor to see the marks and move it onto the obvious tile (two times E).

Blue Mirror: take a look to the Scrap of Paper you have in your inventory and imagine that the sun is the closed E door, so move it two times W.

Green Mirror: taking another look to the Scrap of Paper, you must move it four times E and three times N.

The E door raises so you can get the GOLDEN SERPENT. Now go back to the room where you got the revolver, go through the W arch and pull the wall switch to open the double doors (if you didn’t do it before).

Room with Poseidon Statues

In this new room drop/grab the edge and shimmy right passing the crack, pull up and go to the ladder near the SE corner so you can climb down to the bottom without damage, place the Tridents in the statues to fill the pool and the Golden Serpent in the N wall to open the trapdoor in the pool.

Finishing the Level

Jump into the water and swim through the UW passage, pull the UW lever to open the next door and continue swimming, a current will take you to a room where you can surface. Get out of the water and pull the wall switch behind the statue to open the exit door. In the next room shoot the big vases to expose a couple of wall switches; pull them both to activate a teleporter and finish the level.
