Edinburgh
Castles
by Maxime Guidoni.
This very good Scottish level is the sequel of Little escape in
Cambodia. You can also play it as a stand alone level, using the savegame
included in the zip file.
COURTYARDS, POOL, FIRST LIBRARY
Pick up shotgun ammo upon a block on the left, kill two bats. Ahead is a
closed gate, you need to find a key to open it. Go into the opening on the
right side and climb. You arrive soon in another area. Pick up a small medipack
near the skeleton. Continue, kill a spider, crawl in the opening. You are now in an
area with a closed gate with a button behind a protection on the right (there
are flares to pick up nearby). A bit farther are big doors, on the left another
closed gate, and below a pool. Kill a bat, pick up desert eagle ammo and dive
into the pool. Pull the underwater switch (south wall): an underwater gate
opens. Swim in, then up. Pull another underwater switch to open a gate in a
room with two dog statues. Go out of the water, kill a spider.
There is a closed gate
ahead, another one on the right and a library on the left. Go right, the door
opens when Lara is approaching and follow down the corridor until an
underground room with sloped blocks and spikes on the floor below. Slide down,
jump, grab the ladder, slide and jump to a flat block with a switch. Pull it, a
gate opens at the end of a corridor in the library area. Make a standing jump
in diagonal to the block at the right side of the switch, kill a spider and
climb the ladder. Go right into the library. Upon the bookshelves on the left,
press a button to give more light: this is SECRET #1. Pick up the shotgun in a
corner and climb the bookshelves on the other side. Shoot the little gate with
the pistols and crawl in the opening. Kill a spider and go down the corridor
until the end. Crawl in and pick up the FIRST RUSTY KEY near a skeleton. You
are done now with this part of the level, so return to the pool. When coming
out, kill a SAS carrying desert eagle ammo. Return at the beginning of the
level, kill a dog statue that comes to life and use the rusty key.
Follow the next
corridor to a courtyard, kill a dog and a SAS, pick up harpoon poison ammo.
Climb upon the bigger wooden crate, and make a running jump to the west wall
covered with red ivy. There is a corridor behind the ivy, pull the switch in
there: a gate in the courtyard opens. Go down and follow your way up until a
bigger area with a crashed plane on the roof of a castle. Kill two SAS, one
carrying shotgun ammos. If you want, you can climb on the wooden crates on the
right side near by the switch and make a running jump to the sloped block to
pick up harpoon poison ammo. Pull the switch, a fly-by shows that the
protection on the button you saw earlier is off, and also the opening of the
gates nearby which is a shortcut to the pool area.
CLASSROOM WITH TIMED
DOOR AND FIRST ELEVATOR PUZZLE
Go and push this
button to arrive in a courtyard with a crate and an elevator. Push a movable
box and press the button, the door of the building opens and four SAS appear.
When the path is clear, enter into the classroom (the map of Great Britain on
the wall is upside down, lol). There is an opening hidden behind the blue
curtain in the north-west corner near a button. Place Lara in front of the
curtain, press Action+Up keys and crawl into the opening. Come up to a crouch
and shoot the grate to your left. Crawl forward until you can stand. When you
see a fixed camera, push the box at the left of Lara and enter. Kill a bat and
pull the switch: a camera shows that the elevator has raised the crate in the
courtyard. Return to the classroom. Save your game before pressing the button
in the north-west corner to open the timed door in the opposite corner. Make a
roll and begin to run before the end of the camera sequence, dash a bit and
make one or two jumps over the chairs to enter before the door closes. Follow
the corridor and pull a switch to open the door of the balcony. Make a running
jump to the raised crate and another long one to the corridor where you see a
switch. Pull it, a camera shows the opening of a door somewhere. Return to the
crashed plane area.
CASTLE WITH DEEP PIT AND MOVING SPIKED WALL
There are two ladders,
a long one and a shorter one in the middle of this area. Go down the shorter
ladder to wooden ledges below. Your goal now is to enter the room where you see
a fire burner on a wall. From these wooden ledges, jump on the triangular rocks
that you see ahead and to the other ones on the right, pass the corner to enter
in the room. Pick up goodies near the skeleton. Follow the corridor lighted with
the fire burner on the wall, kill a dog
statue that comes to life and pick up the 2ND RUSTY KEY near a second skeleton.
Return to the previous room where the first skeleton is, go right and dive in a
hole of water. Swim in the tunnel to return on the wooden ledges (on the right
is another underwater tunnel leading to a closed gate) and get out of the
water. Climb the ladder and use the rusty key to open one of the two beige
doors of this area. Enter, kill a SAS, pick up all the goodies and enter the
door on the right. Go down the stairs, the door closes behind you. You arrive
in a cave with a deep pit. Ahead is an opening, on the left a closed gate and a
corridor. Go to the corridor. Before diving into the water notice a little
opening in the left wall. Get out of the water. Jump to the other ledge above.
Before entering the next corridor, make a running jump to grab the grille above
the water and monkey swing to the opening to find SECRET #2: Harpoon and ammos.
After that, you can
enter the next corridor. Beware of the moving spiked wall, turn right and
quickly run to pull the switch near a couple of closed gates: the spiked wall
stops and a trap door opens. Jump to the ladder. In the room above, shoot the
opening in a corner to get SECRET #3: big medipack and uzi clips. Pull the
switch: the first gate below opens. Go down and pick up the 3RD RUSTY KEY
located between the two gates: the second door opens (you are back in the cave
with the deep pit).
Make a long running
jump to the left, kill a bat and a bunch of spiders, pick up a big medipack,
and use the rusty key. Climb the ladder to an outside area.
COURTYARD WITH KNIGHT AND SECOND ELEVATOR PUZZLE
Jump/grab the red ivy
at the left side of the metallic door, shift left and land on a ledge.
Jump/grab the fissure, shimmy left, pull up. Jump/grab the ceiling and monkey
swing until you reach an opening in a corner. Pull the switch. A camera shows
the opening of the big doors in the pool area, and a fly-by shows the opening
of the metallic door below and a knight has appeared. Go where the knight comes
from and climb the ladder near the elevator. On the ledge, jump to the other
side, shoot the opening with the pistols, crawl in, shoot another opening. Go
down. In the new room, pick up goodies, push a movable crate to reveal a
keyhole, and pull a switch: the elevator raises a wooden platform. Go back
there and pick up the 4TH RUSTY KEY, which was hidden under the wooden
platform. Return in the room to use the rusty key: a camera shows the opening
of a door located just before the courtyard.
Return to the
courtyard, go down the ladder and turn left. Hop down into the hole and follow
the corridor textured with ivy, avoid another knight and find the Grenade gun
on the floor. The next door opens automatically, allowing Lara to come back to
the crashed plane area. Climb the ladder and leave this area for now: return to
the pool area nearby.
SECOND LIBRARY
Enter the new castle with caution because of the deadly green floor. Kill
spiders and pull the switch on the left side to open the library on the right
side. Kill a SAS and find goodies on the ground. Climb the bookshelves on the
left, shift left and pull up to a little ledge. Make a running jump to the red
ivy, climb the wall, then jump backwards with a roll. Up there are spikes in
the middle, jump to the left side where Lara can stand on the sloped block,
then jump to the switch. Pull it, return, run/grab the ivy again, go down. Make a running
jump using the action key to the next ledge. Make another jump in diagonal to
where the small medipack is, then another running jump in diagonal to the
opposite corner. Pull the switch in the alcove and go down at the bottom of the
library. A door, which was camouflaged in bookshelves, is now opened.
Enter a little room
(beware of spikes) and pull a switch: a camera shows the opening
of the second beige door in the crashed plane area. Go outside, the shortcut
leading there is now closed again, so you have to do the long way by returning
to the beginning of the level, killing a spider, some SAS and two dogs on the
way. Once back in the crashed plane area, enter the opened beige door (beware
of the deadly green floor) and before grabbing the artifact, save your game for
the sequel of this entertaining series. End of the level.
