LEVEL 10: THE DECK
Kills: 30 Items: 21 (25)* plus 3 keys, the Seraph and 3 secrets
(*Under found items, the number in parentheses shows total including extra items granted for finding all three secrets.)
Go to the right and take out the 2 bad guys with wrench and flame-thrower. Pick up the small med-pack one was carrying, then go around to the other side of the deck to grab 2 pairs of grenades left lying on the ground. Return to where you came in, climb up into one of the windows and dive into the water below. There are 2 barracudas in the water so, harpoon them or look for a flat place to climb out on the left, then use your pistols.
Climb the rocks around the perimeter of the water to get the STERN KEY. Jump in the water, go through the underwater tunnel and follow the passage until you can surface. A goon with a wrench is waiting, so take care of him. Head down and to the right, taking out the flame-thrower guy in the next alcove from a distance. Note the trapdoor here, but for now continue around the hull to the left. Here you'll find some moveable crates. Push the left crate against the others. Climb on it to push the upper crate on top of the rightmost crate. Pull the left crate out again then push it as far as it goes. Pull the remaining crate once to reveal the stern door. Take the flares on the ground and unlock the door.
Swim down straight ahead then make a sharp U-turn to the right. You'll see a lever on the wall. Pull it to open a trapdoor elsewhere. Return to where you just killed the guy with the flame-thrower. Another live thug awaits. (If you opened the trapdoor previously, he'll be walking around near the opening; otherwise, he'll be lurking below.) Kill him and take his shotgun shells before dropping down through the trapdoor.
Follow the passage to a ladder. (Above is the door you opened with the underwater lever.) Climb up and pull the switch to drain the water from the stern area. Go back there and find the moveable crate. Pull it out to reveal an opening. Follow this passage until you come to a large underground lake. In the middle is a raft with some crates on it guarded by 2 scuba divers. You can kill them with harpoons or swim past them and head for a landing on the left. Pull up here, kill the guy with the wrench, then shoot the divers from dry land.
You can't climb into the raft from the water, so even if you've killed the divers in the water, head for the ledge now. Take 2 sets of Uzi clips from behind the crates here, then climb over the rocks on the other side of the landing until you come to a rock bridge. Look down in the water to the right and you'll see something shiny amid the seaweed. Dive down to find SECRET #1, the Stone Dragon. There's a small opening in the rocks under the stone bridge that you can swim through to get back on the shore. Be careful of the barracuda lurking nearby.
Once you're on land again, enter the cave opening and follow the passage. A guy with a shotgun tries to stop you, so kill him and take his shells. Bypass the opening on the left for now. This leads to the top deck. Continue straight ahead until you come to an opening in the floor near a large med-pack. Get that health meter up to 100% then hang and drop through the opening onto the raft below. Take the CABIN KEY and 2 bunches of harpoons. 2 sharks have come out of hiding and will begin to circle in the water below. You can take them out with pistols from here or do it the hard way with harpoons. A third shark will come out if you swim toward the stone bridge. You can kill him as well, or avoid the issue by climbing over the rocks.
Return to the cave and take the left passage this time to emerge near the top deck. 2 baddies will emerge when you start exploring. Kill them and take their flares. Also take 2 pairs of grenades left in a depression at the far side of the deck from where you came in.
If you go down the steps ahead, you may be able to kill one of the 2 thugs with wrenches on the deck below. Also on the deck below is a guy with a flame-thrower patrolling near the swimming pool. Take him out from up here if possible before descending. (You can probably get a good shot from the left side of the deck.)
When all is clear, head for the pool. Kill the barracuda then jump in and approach the tiled door in the corner. A scuba diver emerges. Climb out and shoot him from the edge of the pool, then swim into the opening to find SECRET #2, the Gold Dragon. Before moving on, locate some Uzi clips in an alcove beyond the pool and 2 M-16 clips behind a moveable crate on the other side of the deck.
Head for the left side of the deck and try to shoot the thug with the gun on the deck below. Then cross to the right side and jump down there. From here, do a running jump to the flat rock with wood on top, and a running jump to grab the metal duct ahead. (Notice the Jade Dragon off to the right, but don't go there yet.) Do a running jump from the highest part of this duct across the gap to the overturned hull. Cross the hull to the propeller then turn so Lara's back faces out (propeller on right). Drop and hang from the edge, then release and grab the crevice below. Shimmy to the left until you can pull up.
Do a running jump into the cave opposite. Follow the passage to a large cave where you can hop up a steep slope using a series of flat blocks. Take care of the 2 bad guys with wrenches at the top. One has a large med-pack. Continue to the top of the cave where you can do a running jump to grab the deck roof and pull up. Cross the roof to the right where you'll see a trapdoor on the roof opposite. Jump over and drop through this door. Kill the thug with the wrench and retrieve 2 sets of auto clips from the floor. Go around to the exit, which opens automatically. Before leaving, pull the crate nearby to reveal a switch. Flip it to open a door at the other end of this deck.
A guy with a gun is lurking outside. Kill him, take his auto pistol clips, then go find the door you just opened. Here you'll find 2 M-16 clips on the floor and a locked door. Use the cabin key to open it. In the cabin are some break-away tiles concealing glass shards below. Run across them, keeping to one side, to reach the one solid bit of floor. Press the button to open the door opposite the room you just came from, and run back across the other tiles. Kill the wrench thug as you exit, and head for that door. Go up the stairs, then through a cave until you come to a wall with an opening at the top and a high block behind. Stand on the low step and jump to grab the block. Turn around and do a running jump to the opening. From here you can drop down onto the hull and find the STORAGE KEY.
Make your way down to the level with the pool. Go to the right, drop down and repeat the series of jumps to the metal duct. From here you should be able to dust off 2 goons with flame-throwers milling about near the crates below. (If the pistols won't target them, use the M-16.) Now you can go for that jade dragon. Do a running jump and grab the crevice to the left of the broken glass. Traverse to the right, pull up and walk carefully over to take SECRET #3 (with a bonus of 4 pairs of grenades if you've found the other two secrets).
Make your way down to floor level. (The fastest and safest way I found was back via the pool where you found the stern key.) Cross the cavern to the small storage shed door and use your newly acquired key. Take the SERAPH to end the level.
