Colors: enemies – pickups – secrets – necessary items.

LEVEL 1 – VENICE

Swim to the outside area and climb the building in front of you, shoot a couple of killers (they will drop the AUTOMATIC PISTOLS and automatic pistols ammo) and perhaps another one in the corner of the building left from the entrance. Now go all around this building, left and right to pick up uzi clips, 2 X shotgun shells, a small medipack, flares and more automatic pistols ammo. From the entrance, going to the right of this building there’s a short passage leading to another area; pull the switch in this passage to open double doors somewhere.

Continue to the next area and once you go out of the small tunnel jump into the water and look for a triangular opening under the building to get the SECRET #1: the Golden Dragon. Climb the same ledge again and go around the corner to shoot a killer and a brawler, pick up the small medipack and the automatic pistols ammo they drop, run down the stairs under the glass gallery and shoot two more killers; in this area pick up the first ORNATE KEY and the shotgun shells they drop plus uzi clips and automatic pistols ammo too. Go back outside and perhaps another killer appears with 2 X uzi clips.

Go back the way you came and before the small tunnel with the switch turn left and jump into the water, swim to the other side of the channel and climb the ledge with the big arch above; here are the doors you opened moments ago; shoot a doberman and two brawlers, they will drop a large and small medipacks. Go inside the building and shoot two killers, on the tables pick up shotgun shells, automatic pistols ammo, a small medipack and uzi clips; now go trough the gallery and shoot another killer, cross the long passage and shoot a brawler at the top of the stairs. There are two corridors left and right here:

- Left corridor: in the first room to your left shoot the killer, pick up his shotgun shells and a large medipack too, look for a wall switch (1/5) in a corner and pull it (screenshot of a closed door outside); in the next room in the right side shoot the killer, pick up his shotgun shells, a small medipack and pull a switch (2/5) in a corner (screenshot of the same closed door outside); and at the end of the corridor there are balconies with two more killers, they will drop a small medipack and automatic pistols ammo. One of the balconies has a part with a missing fence, run off diagonally with grab against the wall so you land onto the ledge below and pick up the second ORNATE KEY dropped for the killer you shot when starting this level (if not, shoot him now and get the key). Go all the way back to the big arch, to the long gallery and to the junction where you shot the brawler.

- Right corridor: in the first room to your right shoot two killers, pick up a small medipack and pull the switch (3/5) in the fireplace (screenshot of the same door); at the end of the corridor there’s a balcony with another killer, he will drop a third ORNATE KEY, pick up the shotgun shells and go back to the crossing.

Go down the next steps to a balcony, drop into the garden below and shoot a doberman, a brawler and two killers; eventually double doors will open releasing one more killer and another doberman. When the calm is restored pick up all the goodies they dropped: 2 X shotgun shells and automatic pistols ammo. Forget the passage with the double doors for now and go down the steps to the basement, take the first opening to your right and after the lamp there’s a dark opening to your left with the UZIS. Go out and continue further on to a room with crates, shoot the killer and the brawler and pull the switch to open a door at the other side of the grate.

Go back the way you came and always to your right to find that open door, but also two dobermans and three killers; pick up the large medipack, the flares and the shotgun shells on the crates, in the next room shoot the doberman and jump to the hole between the crates in the corner to get the SECRET #2: the Jade Dragon. Climb up the ladder, jump back near the top and continue to a water channel. Take a running jump to grab the edge on the other side (if you fall into the water you’ll always need to go back to the entrance) and carefully run to the end of this ledge to get a fourth ORNATE KEY; make your way to reach the opposite ledge and pull the switch to open the exit door.

Swim a bit and you’re back in the main area, turn left and climb the ledge with the wide stairs, shoot the killers and pick up the uzi clips and the shotgun shells they dropped. From the bottom of the steps in the right hand side jump diagonally to the nearby ledge (building with the arches) and turn left to pull another wall switch (4/5) (screenshot of the same closed door). If you jump into the water and swim under this building with the arches (with the killer at its top) you’ll find a small medipack.

Now let’s explore another areas; from the building in front of the entrance of this level swim to the building with a red sign in the wall (I think the Fiamma Nera sign), in the back side of this building there is the closed door you saw when pulling the switches in the previous rooms; continue through the narrow corridor and shoot a killer, a doberman and two brawlers, pick up the large medipack one of them dropped and in the next courtyard go left to kill another killer, pick up his automatic pistols ammo and turn right to explore the huge gardens area, shooting a lot of enemies and picking up all the goodies you found: a fifth and sixth ORNATE KEYS dropped by two of the killers, 4 X uzi clips, flares, a large medipack, M16 clips and 2 X automatic pistols ammo.

When all is quiet go to the back of this area and up the wide stairs with balustrades left and right, two brawlers will attack, pick up the small medipack one of them dropped and continue through the red curtains to a library; as usual, shoot several enemies and pick up the items they dropped: a seventh ORNATE KEY, uzi clips and shotgun shells. Now go out and through the red curtain in the right side, shoot the killer and pick up an eighth ORNATE KEY, jump over the balustrade and shoot two more killers below, pick up his uzi clips and automatic pistols ammo.

Now go in the direction of the beginning of the level and shoot a brawler, pick up his large medipack and shoot another killer who will drop a small medipack; now make your way to go up to the top of the arched bridge and drop from the other side, shoot the killer and pick up his automatic pistols ammo, look for a switch (5/5) behind a pillar and pull it to see that the door is now open. Take a running jump over the water channel and run right and right to go back to the top of the stone building. Now take a running jump to the pillars leading to the top of the building with the arches. As usual, shoot a bunch of enemies and go inside of another building looking like a library. Jump onto the window sill in front of the entrance and take another running jump with grab to the window of the next building to get the SECRET #3: the Silver Dragon and 4 X shotgun shells.

Climb the window sill and safety drop onto the narrow corridor, turn right and go to the building with the “Fiamma Nera Sign” to find the door you opened with all 5 switches; enter and pick up a ninth ORNATE KEY.

Go back to the previous library building and out and left jumping onto the beams of the building near the starting area, go ahead and shoot two killers; in this area there are five keyholes to use your keys to raise a door somewhere; use the five keys and go all the way to the back big gardens, to the area with the wide stairs you used to enter the first bigger library with galleries; look for a fenced fountain in a corner and for the open door next to the wall, enter and jump into the fountain, use the remaining keys to open the exit door (near, in front of the wide stairs) and go there to finish the level.

LEVEL 2 - THE WRECK

From the entrance turn right (note the closed door to your left for a secret later) and jump over the slope immediately to your right, turn right again, jump/grab the edge of the upper slope, pull up, jump and jump again with grab to land into the niche in the wall. For an extra pickup, turn around and take a long running jump to the top of the block near the entrance, turn around and take another running jump with grab to the niche in the same wall next to the one you came from to get 2 X automatic pistols ammo; go back to the first niche. Note the crack to your left so drop/grab the edge and shimmy all the way to the left to find a niche with a switch, pull it to open the exit door, drop to the floor and locate the nearby open door just to your left near the corner. Before exiting you can explore this first room to get flares, 2 X shotgun shells and a small medipack.

In the next room pick up the flares in the corner and approach to the opening in the opposite corner, shoot the killer who's running onto the high catwalks but all this noise will attract two brawlers and another killer, they will drop a small medipack and shotgun shells. Now enter, run down the stairs (note the closed door with a keyhole (*)) and go to the back of the room to pull a wall switch: a trapdoor opens somewhere. Go back up to the small room where you got the flares and look for a water hole in a corner, jump into a flooded room, pick up 2 X shotgun shells, 2 X uzi clips and 2 X automatic pistols ammo; swim back for air if you need it and this time look for a crawlspace near the ceiling next to a corner to get the SECRET #4: the Jade Dragon; swim back to the previous room and explore the ceiling to find the trapdoor you opened moments ago.

Get out of the water and in this room shoot two killers and a brawler, they will drop a small medipack, shotgun shells and the RUSTY KEY. Now go up the ramp with the balustrade and in the next room shoot a killer, pick up his small medipack and explore the corners of this room to pull a switch and a button; now go back down to the previous room with the dead corpses and through the opening where the brawler came from: you are back in the "hub room" with the water hole in the corner. For a secret: go back to the starting room and to the position Lara was when the level began to see that the door is now open, go inside to get the SECRET #5: the Golden Dragon. Go back to the hub room.

Now go back to the room where you saw the first closed door with keyhole (*), down the stairs and use the key to open it. Enter and shoot the killer and the brawler, they will drop 2 X large medipack and 2 X shotgun shells; there are uzi clips, M16 ammo and automatic pistols ammo to pick up on the left and right ledges too. Now jump onto the pistons of the machine and pull the switch in the higher one, jump from piston to piston to the opposite side with the open door and shoot three killers, check all the corpses to get 3 X shotgun shells and automatic pistols ammo; now continue to the other side of the catwalk and if you want you can jump to the lateral ledges to get a large medipack, uzi clips and M16 ammo. Anyway at the end of the catwalk pick up the THEATER KEY, the door will open and you're back in a familiar place; shoot a brawler and a flamethrower, pick up the small medipack, run up the stairs with balustrade and use the key at the end to open the door.

In the next corridor go always to your right to find 2 X automatic pistols ammo, continue always to your right to find a button to press, again advance always to your right, shoot a killer and pick up the M16 GUN and M16 ammo; on your way back shoot another brawler; again always to your right to eventually find a flamethrower and finally the exit door. In the next area shoot two killers and go through the opening just opposite the entrance, shoot two brawlers, pick up the M16 ammo one of them dropped and go down to the bottom of the room to shoot two killers, pick up his small medipack and M16 ammo and in the recess where one of them was press the button to open double doors in one of the balconies and release more enemies, they will drop shotgun shells, uzi clips and a large medipack. Go to the room where they came from and press another button to open double doors in the opposite balcony releasing more enemies, pick up his large medipack and uzi clips and go to the room where they came from to finally get a second THEATER KEY; of course more enemies are released so shoot them, pick up his 2 X uzi clips, a small medipack, shotgun shells and automatic pistols ammo and exit this room from either opening.

Go to your right and shoot two more killers, pick up his shotgun shells and uzi clips and run up one the ramps. In the next room shoot two brawlers and pick up a large and a small medipacks. Climb either opening and go left to use your new key and open double doors in the previous room. Go back and up the ramp; on you way to the next huge room pick up in the left and right sides flares, 2 X automatic pistols ammo, 2 X M16 ammo, 2 X shotgun shells and 2 X uzi clips (you know what it means this).

In the main theater shoot the brawlers coming from below and also a couple of killers left and right on the upper balconies, go down the seats to the small balcony where the brawlers came from and pick up the large medipack. Now go to the right side (looking from the entrance) and from one of the seats you can take a running jump to grab the edge of the upper balcony where one of the killers was, pull up and go right to shoot more enemies, pick up the shotgun shells, uzi clips and the small medipack and drop through the hole in the corner.

Advance to find yourself in the stage of the theater, behind the curtains; go down the next steps and shoot two killers, drop into the trench next to the curtains and shoot a flamethrower and a brawler, look behind the higher crates near the corner to get the SECRET #6: the Silver Dragon plus 4 X automatic pistols ammo. Now look for a button in one of the walls, save your game, check your health and prepare yourself for a hard final fight.

Once you press the button the curtains open, start shooting all the enemies you find and eventually climb to the highest ledge and from a corner you should be able to take a running jump to the high balcony in the left side of the theater (looking from the entrance), here you can pick up shotgun shells and press a last button to open the exit doors. Jump back down to the seats shooting more enemies and exit this part of the theater; in the corridor shoot even more enemies and continue to the area where two openings lead to the same room (shooting more enemies on your way), turn right to find the exit doors and run down the ramps shooting the last bunch of enemies; at the very bottom the flamethrower drops the last THEATER KEY (I suppose), so pick it up and use it in the nearby keyhole to open the last double doors and finish the level.

LEVEL 3 - THE HOTEL

Explore the room to get flares, automatic pistols ammo, shotgun shells and a small medipack on the wooden furniture; when you pick up the large medipack on the bed the door opens and some enemies are alerted. Shoot them all and pick up all the goodies they dropped: a small medipack, shotgun shells, uzi clips and automatic pistols ammo. Go to the right side and shoot two more killers, pick up his uzi clips and automatic pistols ammo; press the button behind the counter one of them was protecting and go back the way you came, before the bedroom starting room there’s now an open door to your left; enter the bathroom, go around to your left and in the second pool pick up the HOTEL KEY alerting a brawler, pick up his small medipack and go outside.

Use the key in the keyhole near the button you pressed moments ago and enter, shoot a brawler and two killers and pick up the small medipack, shotgun ammo and automatic pistols ammo. Don’t go up the wide ramp for now but continue behind it and shooting two killers, pick up the M16 ammo and automatic pistols ammo; further on down the wide stairs and on a ledge in the corner pick up flares. Go down the next wide stairs shoot more enemies and pickup automatic pistols ammo, a large medipack and shotgun shells. Spot more enemies in the distance, up the next stairs but don’t go there yet, instead go through the big opening to your right to a sort of piano room, shoot the killers and explore the room to find a small medipack, shotgun shells and a second HOTEL KEY; quickly go back outside (killers shooting from the upper floors), go right and up the next stairs, shoot the enemies behind the counters, go there, note the four keyholes and press the button to open a door somewhere.

Go up the next stairs and shoot a bunch of enemies, pick up the uzi clips and continue, shoot the killers behind the next counter, pick up the uzi clips and the shotgun shells and continue around the corner, shoot a brawler and pick up his small medipack. The next door opens as you approach, releasing a brawler and a killer who will drop another small medipack and a third HOTEL KEY. You are now in the corridor where you started this level, so go again through the open door with the keyhole in front of you and continue to the wide ramp. This time run up the ramp and shoot a killer, pick up his M16 ammo, continue to the next ramp and shoot some more enemies; at the back of this ramp get the SECRET #7: the Jade Dragon.

Run up the ramp and in the upper floor take a ride all around the central pillars shooting a lot of enemies, they will drop M16 ammo and a large medipack; there are 2 X shotgun shells at the top of the entrance ramp, next to the curtains too. Now go through the opening in one of the walls to a huge room with a big pool, the enemies here will drop uzi clips, shotgun shells, M16 ammo and automatic pistols ammo; at the back of the room there is a smaller room with showers, and in one of them is the SECRET #8: the Silver Dragon. Now jump into the pool and pick up the RELAY BOX, go out of the pool room and shoot two brawlers, pick up the large medipack one of them dropped and go left to find that one of the white doors is now open; enter, shoot three killers and pick up automatic pistols ammo, uzi clips, 2 X shotgun shells and a small medipack; look for a button near a corner and press it to open another of those small white doors outside.

Go to the previous room and to your left, shoot the killers and locate the next open door; enter, shoot three killers and pick up the uzi clips, the shotgun shells and another HOTEL KEY between the beds. Now it’s time to leave this area so go to the yellow balustrade to your left and go down the ramp, at its bottom shoot a couple of killers and pick up his M16 ammo and the small medipack. Advance and go down the next ramp, shoot another killer and continue straight ahead and left, through the small opening to the corridor where you started this level; shoot three killers, pick up the uzi clips and the automatic pistols ammo they drop and locate the receptacle for the relay box behind the counter, place it to open the nearby doors.

In the next huge room shoot a lot of enemies (there’s a nasty killer shooting from the upper balconies too), run all around the room and eventually the door in the right hand wall (looking from the entrance) will open releasing more enemies; this opening leads to a corridor you’ve already visited, so continue around the room until eventually the door in the other wall opens, releasing more enemies; this time one of them will drop another HOTEL KEY. Do you remember the counter with the keyholes? Go through the open door in the right hand wall (looking from the entrance) and left, down the steps and behind the counters in the corner to use all four keys.

Double doors open in the first floor, so go right and left to locate the wide ramp leading up shooting a lot of enemies on your way; run up and continue to the bottom of the next ramp (shooting more enemies, of course) and go to its right side to locate the open doors. When you enter a door will open in the opposite side of the room releasing a Mafioso Boss and more enemies, but also another Mafioso Boss and a killer will appear at you back (bad idea) blocking your way back. Make your way to kill all those nasty enemies wasting a lot of ammo and medipacks and when the calm is restored pick up the large medipack and the CIRCUIT BOARD the mafioso bosses dropped.

Now go down the ramp to the bottom floor and to the corridor where you started this level, where you placed the relay box time ago, go behind the other counter and place the circuit board; now go to the opposite side of this corridor and just in front of the bedroom you started find the exit doors. Don’t advance to the heliport yet, but turn left and pick up the SECRET #9 behind the tree pot: the Golden Dragon plus 4 X M16 ammo. Advance to finish the level.

LEVEL 4 – THE OUTPOST

Once into the water pick up the shotgun shells and the flares on the nearby blocks; swim to ground floor (slope in the right side) and pick up the small medipack and the uzi clips. Soon you’ll shoot a doberman and a killer; pick up his automatic pistols ammo and run up the snowy ramp to an outside courtyard with several buildings. Run diagonally to your right to a new open area and right again clockwise around the building killing a couple of enemies, getting 2 X M16 ammo until you find a window to your right; shoot the glass, enter, kill the enemies and check the room to get a small medipack, shotgun ammo, automatic pistols ammo and the YELLOW CARD KEY.

When you approach to the closed door it opens, so go outside, shoot a doberman and a killer, pick up his automatic pistols ammo and continue down the snowy passage. Shoot the killer who appears over the high bridge if you have the opportunity and ignore the opening to your left; run down the bridge (perhaps a doberman emerges from that opening) and continue past the shallow waters to an icy cave where you’ll find a doberman and a killer; go further to an outside area, shoot a white enemy and pick up the RED CARD KEY; when you do it, turn around and shoot more enemies coming from the icy cave.

Go back there, past the shallow waters, shoot a couple of enemies from the distance (M16) and turn right through the opening you ignored moments ago. Use the red card key to open the door in the corner, enter, pick up the M16 ammo to your left and continue to an inner area where several enemies will attack; shoot them all and pick up shotgun shells, a large medipack, a small medipack and automatic pistols ammo. From the entrance, explore the right hand passage to find uzi clips and a second YELLOW CARD KEY. Back to the entrance, go to the left hand passage but immediately right and right again to an enclosed room in front of the entrance to pull a switch (1/5) (camera shot of a closed door outside); a flamethrower is released, so take care of him.

Go out and right through the passage you’ve not explored yet, pick up the large medipack near the corner, turn around and go left up the stairs, shoot another flamethrower and continue up to a huge outside area. As usual, run all around this area shooting a lot of enemies (as in another areas, there’s a big problem here; if you shoot some enemies and you want to save your game, the game will crash. Try to kill all the enemies you can and go back to previous areas to save the game) on ground floor and up several ledges. When the calm is restored pick up his goodies and all what you find in this area (only on ground floor): 2 X large medipack, M16 ammo, shotgun shells, 2 X automatic pistols ammo, uzi clips and a RED CARD KEY.

Now from the entrance, go to the left side, past the opening to your right a bit and climb the steps to your right, go right and look for a wall switch to pull at the back of the pillar (2/5). Again from the entrance, go this time to the right side and climb the roof of the building to your left so you can get up to the top of the building in front of the entrance; explore this higher area shooting a lot of enemies and when you’re done pick up all the items you found (including all four watcher turrets): 3 X M16 ammo, 2 X shotgun shells, 2 X automatic pistols ammo, a small medipack, 2 X large medipack, uzi clips and a YELLOW CARD KEY (when you pick it up, beware of the couple of flamethrowers who appear).

To get the next secret, from the crate you pick up the card,  go to the nearby watcher turret in this corner, enter and drop from the other side onto the top of the wall below, advance to the next watcher turret but don’t climb it, go to the back side to get the SECRET #10: Golden Ingots. Climb the turret if you want to get the small medipack the enemy dropped (if you killed him before).

Now go to the top of the building where you got the last yellow card key and at middle way turn right to cross the bridge, shoot the killers and pick up uzi clips, shotgun shells and M16 ammo; facing the wall, turn left, jump onto the top of the icy roof and pick up another YELLOW CARD KEY on the top of the nearby chimney. Go back to the bridge and cross it, a killer is waiting at the other end, shoot it and pick up his M16 ammo. Now go back down to ground floor; when you picked up the last card several enemies appeared here, so you know what to do.

Now it’s time to go through the opening in front of the entrance (a bit left, under the bridge) of this area; inside shoot several enemies and go to the right side to get shotgun shells, a small medipack, M16 ammo and automatic pistols ammo. Go to the opposite side and jump into the water to get uzi clips, a small medipack and the SECRET #11: the Golden Skull. Get out of the water and in this side with the yellow tanks look for a small ledge with a wall switch to pull (3/5). Now from the steps in front of the entrance you can jump and grab the edge of the higher ledges, pull up and explore all the corridors shooting several enemies to pick up 2 X shotgun shells and find two niches with two more wall switches to pull (4 and 5/5): camera shoot of the door opening. Don’t drop to ground floor, but go to the ledges in the opposite side of the niches to find an opening leading outside, from here drop onto an icy ledge with the SECRET #12: the Golden Coins plus 4 X uzi clips. Go back up to the previous ledges.

When you pulled the last switches you alert two flamethrowers in ground floor so drop down and take care of them. Sure that when running around killing all the enemies in the main area you noticed that double doors opened in the left and right sides of this area; looking from the entrance, the doors in the right hand side connect to places you’ve already visited so go to the doors in the left side, where the door you opened with the 5 wall switches is. Go left to find the open door and shoot a killer in the entrance, enter and shoot a brawler, pick up his small medipack and go down the stairs; drop into the dark room and go to the corner to get the last RED CARD KEY, alerting another brawler and two more dogs, shoot them and explore this room to get flares, a large medipack dropped by the brawler and uzi clips in the opposite corner.

Now climb the ledge in the opposite side, run up the steps and the exit door automatically opens, a brawler will attack; before exiting turn left and climb the ledge to get a large medipack and M16 ammo. Go outside and shoot a lot of enemies of all kinds (dogs, killers, flamethrowers…); when the calm is restored go to the opening in front of the entrance, enter and climb again to the high ledges where you pulled the last switches, go to the side with the opening where you found the last secret and drop into the hole; use the yellow key cards to open a door somewhere and climb up to the upper ledges, back to the entrance drop down to ground floor and this time go through the opening opposite the entrance of this building to an outside area, cross the wooden bridge and use the red card keys to open the last door and finish the level.

LEVEL 5 – THE ICE TEMPLE

Run up the steps to trigger some enemies; fortunately this time there are a monk helping you to kill them (jump back and the monk will take care of everything). When the calm is restored pick up the shotgun shells, M16 ammo, automatic pistols ammo and uzi clips dropped by the enemies and go right to a courtyard where you’ll shoot a couple of tigers and a yeti; shoot a couple of killers in the high ledges too and finally go to a dark cave with a bear to get the TEMPLE KEY.

Go back to the place where the monk fought with the enemies and straight ahead to the passage in the other side, run up the icy steps and at the top turn right and take a running jump to the platform where one of the killers were, continue clockwise jumping to the ledge with the receptacles (remember it for later) and to the platform where the other dead killer is, pick up his small medipack, pull the switch and safety drop to ground floor. Go back to the place where you started this level, shoot the killers and pick up his uzi clips, M16 ammo and automatic pistols ammo.

Now go through the opening where they came from and in the lava river area help the monk to dispatch the killers, pick up uzi clips and automatic pistols ammo, advance to the other side of the room and jump through the big opening landing in a cave where several yetis and leopards will attack; pick up the large medipack and 4 X shotgun shells near the entrance. To get the next secret look for a high opening near a corner, climb and drop into the hole at the other side to get the SECRET #13: the Golden Dragon.

When you approach to the closed door in the corner it opens; continue to a small room with the first GOLD NUGGET. Exit through the other corridor and soon double gates will open: you are back in the room with the bear lair. Shoot a couple of killers, pick up a large medipack and M16 ammo and go back to the place where you started this level. This time use the key to open the golden door and in the next area pick up the flares near the corner, shoot a couple of killers and get his 2 X M16 ammo. Go to the building the killers came from and look for a high opening to the left of the entrance, climb there and pull the switch to open the door in the opposite side, climb down, shoot the killer, pick up his shotgun shells and go inside the new room to get a new TEMPLE KEY.

Go outside and left, up the ramp and shoot the killer in the high window, use the key to open the golden door and in the next room shoot the killer, pick up 2 X small medipack, 2 X automatic pistols ammo and 2 X uzi clips. Continue and in the next room shoot a couple of killers (one of them coming from your back), climb the window with the dead enemy to get 2 X shotgun shells, run up the stairs and pull the switch at the end of the ledge. The door in front of the entrance of this building opens, releasing several enemies; shoot them and pick up a large medipack, automatic pistols ammo and the second GOLD NUGGET one of them dropped. Take the shortcut to the courtyard with the bear lair and continue all around clockwise as you did before to the high ledge with the receptacles for the nuggets. Enter, light a flare and run a bit left to the wall, turn right to see a small opening in the corner, go inside to get the SECRET #14: the Jade Dragon.

In the next huge area with several buildings shoot innumerable enemies and when everything is calm pick up all the goodies: 4 X uzi clips, 2 X small medipack and a large medipack; pick up also three TEMPLE KEYS: one of them dropped by a killer in the small building to the right of the entrance, a second one in a small hole near a corner near a bars door and a third one in the area with icy roof and many yetis.

Now if you enter the central buildings you’ll find more enemies to shoot, uzi clips and a small medipack to pick up and two switches to pull (one of them inside a building and another one outside in a niche in one of the walls, opening two doors in the outside area (camera shots of the doors opening) and in each case releasing more enemies. Go to that open golden doors and in one of them you’ll find a fourth TEMPLE KEY and in the other one (from the icy steps you can take a running jump to the nearby roof and get a large medipack) there’s only a small medipack but from here you can get access to an outside icy ledge and running all around counterclockwise (beware of more enemies appearing in the bottom) you can reach the top of the building right from the entrance with the GOLD NUGGET, and from here take a running jump to the roofs of the central buildings to get the SECRET #15: the Silver Dragon plus 2 X uzi ammo, 2 X shotgun shells, 2 X M16 ammo and 2 X automatic pistols ammo.

Make your way to safety drop down to ground floor and go to the big building behind the lava river to use your keys; the double doors wont open so go to the left side and climb the tall icy block attached to the wall, take a running jump to grab the edge of the roof, pull up and go to the center to place the nugget: the doors will open this time so go back down and enter. Soon the Guardian of the Talion and a bunch of yetis appear at your back, so shoot them the best you can and when the guardian is defeated the adventure finishes.

September – 15 – 2022
