PHOENICIAN TEMPLE

TR5 Level by Charles Kane

Walkthrough by Treeble

Run forward and throw that wall switch. A gate opens, but notice a number of doors remain closed in this room, we'll be back promptly. Go through the open gate to the next area and deal with three gladiators, one of which leaves behind the TEMPLE KEY 1. Use it in the corner to open the exit gate, but don't go through yet and instead retrace your steps back to the starting room.

One of the side doors is now open. Go through and use the slope on the left side of the room to backflip to a higher one, grab the edge and shimmy right so you can pull up. Leap across to the exit in the opposite corner to come to a series of walkways above the entrance room, populated by two gladiators. Dispatch them and throw the switch in the corner to open the doors flanking the switch below you.

Go in, collect the SHOTGUN plus ammo, then proceed to the back side of the room to find two lions. Kill them and retrieve the two golden roses for SECRETS #1 and #2. Return to the starting area and through the open gate, proceeding in a long straight line until you get to a very tall room. Go up the steps, collecting a small medipack on the topmost one, and negotiate a series of simple jumps as you work your way to the top. As you navigate the high walkways, be mindful of two lions, eager to push you down like the big cats they are, one of which was carrying the TEMPLE KEY 2 around.

Continue your ascent in the next chamber and through the opening in the ceiling. Throw the switch in the alcove to open a door behind you, and at the T-junction go right to get a large medipack before using that last key. Through the next gate you come to a centurion statue, deal with it as you see fit. When it's down, explore the room to find a pack of flares behind its starting position and you'll hear a door opening in the corner.

That switch opens the exit gate, on the other end of the corridor, but before heading there go inside the open door and step on the raised central floor. Sidestep to the edge, then take a bit of an angled sidestep backwards so you're not immediately at the edge of the step and jump upwards, inching forwards ever so slightly to grab the walkway above. Monkey swing past the pit and dive into the pool afterwards. As you pull out of the water, you'll find the final golden rose (aka SECRET #3) on a plinth, take it and go through the nearby door.

Back in the centurion room, simply go to the entrance corridor and zoom to the other end. Drop down the tall shaft to a pool at the very bottom, then pull out of the water and you'll find the desired mcguffin within sight (but sadly out of reach, sorry!).
