The Dragon's Lair |
Items: 24 |
Kills: 11 |

When this level begins, a wall will raise, revealing an inactive
spearsman. Begin by stepping forward and picking up the two Uzi clips
(1, 2) and a large Medi Pack (3) that are to either side of the open
passageway. Draw Uzi's and walk past the inactive spearsman. In the
room beyond, a spearsman (1) that is in
an alcove opposite Lara will activate. Charge into the room and open
fire, back flipping and evading until the spearsman explodes. In order to achieve maximum kills, Lara can pull the lever in the opposite alcove, which closes the wall that opened when Lara entered this level, and activates that first spearsman (2). If Lara chooses to pull this lever, reverse roll, draw Uzis and open fire on the spearsman, and jump around to evade him and fire until he explodes. It is not necessary to pull this lever. Facing the left of the passageway that Lara entered from, on the left column there is a lever. When Lara pulls this lever, a passageway will open and the two remaining spearsmen (3, 4) will become active. After pulling this lever, draw Uzi's and take a side flip to the right. Charge the spearsman that is opposite Lara with Uzis blaring. Run circles around the first spearsman until the second arrives. Now use evasive jumps to eliminate them both. Draw automatics and enter the dark newly opened room. Immediately hop backwards and take evasive jumps to avoid two priests (5, 6) that will follow Lara back into the previous room. Continue firing and flipping side to side to kill them both and then pick up a large Medi Pack (4) from one priest and two sets of Uzi clips (5, 6) from the other. Draw automatics again and run further into the room. Two more priests (7, 8) will emerge from behind pillars. Open fire on them and back flip to the previous room and kill them there by jumping side to side while firing. When they are dead, collect two pairs of Uzi clips (7, 8, 9, 10) from each of them. |

Mystic Plaque

Finally, with automatics drawn, enter the dark room and turn left.
Run to the middle of the room and two more priests (9, 10) will emerge. Open fire on them while
flipping side to side until both are dead. Collect a small Medi Pack
(11) from one of them, and a Mystic
Plaque (12) from the other. Place the mystic plaque in the receptacle that is to the right of the large double doors. Once the doors are open, enter the doorway, and turn left. Run forward and slide down to an enormous room. Ahead in the middle of the room is Marco Bartoli's body. When Lara approaches his body, the ground will shake and Bartoli's body will levitate. Then, his body will explode in a blaze of green energy and he will be transformed into a fire-breathing dragon (11). In order to kill the dragon, Lara must stun it with sufficient weapon fire, and then run up to its chest and pull out the Dagger of Xian. Bringing the dragon down can be extremely difficult, involving firing and dodging his fiery blasts. If it sets Lara aflame, then she can drop into one of the holes to extinguish herself. Within the water are also items for Lara to pick up. Surfacing will be difficult, as the dragon will anticipate Lara's ascent and try to breathe fire on her when she surfaces. Lara must immediately dive back down and surface in the diagonally opposite hole to get out. The easiest way to kill the dragon is to run forward and to the left and stand facing the the center of the left pillar as Bartoli transforms into the dragon. The dragon will breathe fire on the back side of the pillar, but will not move from the center of the room. Take four steps backwards away from the pillar and ready the grenade launcher. Turn in place, slightly to the right and launch ten grenades into the belly of the beast. Upon hitting it with the tenth grenade, the dragon will begin to bellow and fall. Immediately put the grenade launcher away and run forward to the belly of the dragon. There is a small red dot on it's belly where the dagger is. Stand in front if that spot and press and hold the action key. Side step to the left towards the dragon's head and eventually Lara will line up with the dagger and pull it out. Upon withdrawing the dagger, the dragon's flesh will melt away, leaving behind a skeleton, and an exit door will open beyond the dragons carcass. For the compulsive, this is a good time to drop into the water below and pick up two large Medi Packs (13, 14) and ten sets of Uzi Clips (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24) scattered around the floor of the pool in sets of one or two. When Lara's done collecting the goods, surface and exit the pool. Run past the dead dragon into the gateway that has opened behind her. Once she crosses the door, don't stop running. The cavern will begin collapsing around her. Continue running until Lara exits the dragon's lair and watch a full motion video sequence of an explosion that consumes part of the Great Wall. |
