Start this level with the biggest and possibly the toughest enemy in
the game, a huge alien (1). As soon as
this level begins, ready whatever are the weapons of choice. Most
people prefer to use Uzis, but consider using the shotgun, which is
most effective at close range against large and slow enemies. Think
about it: Here Lara is trapped on this little ledge with this giant
monster. The most important thing is to keep cool and don't panic.
Don't jump around like a maniac, but rather, make very careful
calculated moves. As soon as the monster emerges from its sphere,
begin firing at it and sidestepping carefully to one corner. Do not
release the fire key until the monster explodes. Allow the monster to
approach, and then, just before it flails its arms at Lara, take a
side jump or two. Repeat until the monster is dead1. After the alien beast is dead, pick up Uzi clips (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) that are scattered around the four corners of the platform. A door will open for Lara when the monster explodes. Enter the doorway and run down the fleshy tunnel. Slide down the fleshy ramp, then run down to the bottom of the next ramp. Push the block on Lara's right three times, then run up the ramp that was hidden behind the block. At the top of the ramp, push the block once, then run around and climb on top of it. Turn around and take a standing jump and grab to reach the tunnel above. Stop just before the broken floor and time a run over the broken floor tile and past the metal jaws. Lara should start running just as the metal jaws are about to snap shut. Continue forward until Lara reaches a fork. Take the right fork and run to the bottom where there is a block. Push it once, then turn around and run back to the fork. Then take the other fork by making a right turn and head down the ramp and drop down at the bottom of the ramp. Run forward, and climb onto the block that Lara just exposed, and run forward, falling off the other side. Turn around and push the block twice so that it is against the bottom of the ramp. Then run up the tunnel that is behind Lara, around to the fork and then down the ramp onto the block. Throw the switch on the right to open the webbed door on the left. Enter the webbed doorway and run forward until Lara reaches the next room. |

SECRET #1
|
Walk to the end of the ledge and take a standing diagonal jump down and to the left to land on the first safe ledge. Then take another standing jump forward to reach the next safe ledge. Then take a running jump forward to the last ledge. Immediately turn around, and notice the drawbridge that has been raised. Take a running jump back to the second ledge and a standing jump to the first safe ledge, and a standing jump onto the drawbridge. Run forward quickly because the drawbridge is on a timer. Enter the tunnel, which is SECRET #1, and pick up a large Medi Pack (7), magnum clips (8), and shotgun shells (9). Walk forward and throw the switch, and return it to its original position. | ||
|
Exit the tunnel, and take a running jump back to the other side of the
drawbridge. From the corner of the ledge take a standing diagonal
jump down and to the left to land on the first safe ledge. Then take
a standing jump to the second flat ledge. Now take a diagonal jump to
the ledge across the lava pool and then take a running jump to get to
the wide safe ledge against the far wall. Enter the tunnel at the top
of the slope on the right, but to do not run up the slope. Look up and Lara will see a boulder. Run up the slope until the boulder is released. Immediately reverse and run back down the slope and exit through the tunnel on the right. After the boulder is past, then continue safely up the slope. When Lara reaches the top, she will find a tunnel to the right, with another slope up that is also a boulder trap. Again, run up the slope until the boulder is released and reverse and run back down and duck to the left to safety. When the boulder is past, continue up the slope. |
Scion
|
At the top of the slope Lara will find a tunnel. Run forward down the
tunnel until Lara reaches a bend in the tunnel to the right. Walk
around the corner until Lara reaches the broken floor tile. Step onto
it and then step off to allow it to fall. Then safety drop down to
the floor. Lara will take a bit of damage from the extremely long
fall. Lara will find herself back in the Scion room. Ready pistols
and shoot the Scion (2)2 until it explodes, which will set off an
earthquake that will last the remainder of the game. Don't worry
about rushing through the rest of the game. The earthquake is
disorienting, but nothing bad will happen. Switch to Uzis or some other more potent weapon and walk up to the doorway and notice the two zombies (3, 4) running around outside. Kill them from within the scion room, and then exit through the doorway. To obtain all the kills, run forward across the bridge and forward into the tunnel, and immediately back flip away back down the bridge and start firing as a third zombie (5) awakens and races towards Lara. Drop off the side of the bridge to the dried lava below, then safety drop into the hole. Take a running jump and grab the ledge in the fleshy wall on the right, and begin shimmying to the right. Lara can try to avoid the darts, but don't bother, because Lara's going to take damage on this level whether she likes it or not. When Lara reaches the other side, release and Lara will begin to slide backward. Take a jump before she slides off the slope into the lava and when she lands, immediately take a hop backward to avoid the dart aimed and at the spot she's landed on. Enter the doorway to the right. Walk along the right side of the slope until a boulder comes rumbling down the left side of the slope slope. Return to the top of the left side of the slope and pick up a set of Uzi clips3 (10). Stand in front of the swinging blade and take a standing jump just as the swinging blade is directly in front of Lara while making a swing to the left. Once Lara is safely on the other side, walk through the field spikes, across the little bridge in the center which crosses over the lava. To not stop until Lara is clear of the spikes on the other side. Turn and face left and walk along the right side wall until Lara reaches another lava pit. Face the bridge made of broken tiles, and take a running jump and grab. Pull up and immediately execute a running jump. Once Lara has landed on the far ledge walk forward into the next room. |
|
SECRET #2
|
Turn and face the left wall. Walk along the edge and take a diagonal jump up and to the right and grab a ledge that is really hard to see and begin to shimmy to the right. Release when Lara is over the platform, and drop down to SECRET #2. Pick up Uzi clips (11), and three large Medi Packs (12, 13, 14). Take a standing jump to the long slope, and back flip before Lara slides off the end. She will land on a short sloped pillar. Turn around and face the wall, where there is another crevice that Lara can reach with a standing jump. | ||
|
Shimmy to the right until she can release over the ledge. Walk
carefully forward into the tunnel stopping before Lara reaches the
broken floor tiles. Face the forward and examine Lara's plight. Once it is fairly well established that there's no good way to time a run across the broken floor tiles and crossing into the doorway behind the swinging blade while avoiding the boulder, then run forward across the broken floor tiles and duck into the tunnel on the right which is just behind the swinging blade. Do not stop for any reason, whether Lara is on the broken floor tiles or on the stone floor past the tiles. It is possible to cross without injury, but it's luck mostly. Once Lara is past the blade, stop immediately and notice the next trap. Run down the slope, and ignore the Medi pack and duck into the tunnel on the right. Once Lara is safely in the tunnel, wait for the boulder to roll to a stop, then take a jump over the left side of the boulder to pick up the small Medi Pack (15). Then jump over the boulder again to get back into the tunnel. Walk forward until Lara reaches the top of the slope. Side step until Lara is as far to the right as possible and is still able to slide forward. When swinging blade is on the left and is just about to begin its swing to the right, step forward and slide down the slope. Take a jump just before Lara reaches the bottom to land on the stone ledge. Do not jump too early, because if Lara needs to pull herself up, the boulder will crush her into the lava pit. Step off the ledge to the floor below. Walk to the doorway and look carefully into the next room. Notice the lava flows and the Medi pack. Run forward without hesitation to the Medi pack and stop. Pick up the small Medi Pack (16) and then run forward through the middle of the rest of room to reach the switch as the last two lava flows are released. Throw the switch and enter the door. Turn and walk to the right to allow the door to close behind Lara and grab the Uzi clips (17). Turn around and run forward, stopping just before Lara falls into the lava pit. The boulder above will roll down the slope and sail over Lara's head. Now walk to the very edge of the lava pit and take a standing jump and grab. Wait until the second boulder rolls safely over Lara's head and then pull up. Walk forward until Lara reaches a tunnel that leads off to the right. Step forward into the next room. Don't panic when Lara gets there. Just side step all the way to one side and then take two standing jumps to clear the first torch. Lara will take a minute amount of damage as she lands and takes off again. When Lara reaches the platform in the center, the center torch will light, while still on one side of the platform, take a standing jump over the center torch. Walk forward and take two more standing jumps to clear the third torch. There now, see? Not as bad as last time. Walk into the next room. Suspended in the middle of the room is a structure with a broken floor tile. Walk to the very edge of slope and line Lara up with the broken floor tile. Take two steps backward, then a hop back. Perform a running jump as the blade is at its lowest point. |

SECRET #3
|
Do not release the jump key when Lara performs that jump, but allow
Lara to take a step and a second running jump into the tunnel across
from the broken tile. Lara can also take on the challenge in two steps
by walking up to the very edge, taking a standing jump and grab the
broken floor tile, then pull up and run and jump to enter the tunnel
on the opposite side. Enter the tunnel which is SECRET #3, and pick
up Uzi clips (18, 19), and a large Medi
Pack (20)5. Walk back to the entrance of the tunnel, and face the structure again. Take a step backwards away from the edge of the tunnel and use a swan dive to land perfectly in the tiny pool below. Swim down and pick up another Uzi clip (21) and swim through the tunnel and surface. Pull up out of the water and pick up more Uzi clips (22, 23, 24, 25). Run forward into the large room to discover why Lara need all these Uzi clips. |
Natla
|
Ready Uzis and run forward into the large room. While still running
veer to the left and look above for Natla (6). She will be bobbing up and down above Lara's
head while launching three fireballs at a time at her. As soon as
Lara gets a lock on her, start firing and don't let Natla get around
behind her. Use the side to side jumping strategy when she is far
enough away. Once Natla2 is down, put
away Lara's guns and them immediately ready them again. Because though,
Lara's clipped her wings, she's ready for more. She will get up and
say, "You can't bump off me and by brood so easy, Lara!" This time
she fires little bolts at Lara while zipping around on foot on the
ground. Use the same jumping side to side strategy against her while
she's on the ground, only be careful as she runs to the side not to
let her flank Lara. After she is really dead, Lara can enter the tunnel that is to the right of the tunnel she entered from and grab more Uzi clips (26, 27, 28) in the middle of the tunnel and yet more Uzi clips (29, 30, 31) further up the tunnel. If Natla is dead, then Lara doesn't really need these. Exit the tunnel and run across the room to a mound of dark stones on the left. Run part way up the slope until it is too steep, then take a standing jump over the steep part and walk forward and safety drop into the hole in the mound. Climb up into the tunnel and follow the tunnel until it emerges. Take a running jump to get to the first pillar. Then turn left and take a running jump diagonally to the left to the next pillar. Then take a standing jump diagonally to the right to reach the next pillar. Jump and climb into the tunnel above. Follow the tunnel until it ends in a hole. Safety drop down the hole to land on a pillar. Turn around and take a running jump diagonally to the right to the next pillar. Then take another running jump diagonally to the right to reach the next pillar. Take a running jump diagonally to the right and grab to reach the next pillar. Jump and climb up into the next tunnel. |
Exit
|
Follow the tunnel until Lara comes to a hole. Safety drop down the
hole to land on another pillar. Take a running jump to the the
platform and climb up onto the hole above. Then climb up into the
triangular tunnel above. Run forward and slide down the long ramp
into the darkness below. Sit back and enjoy the last full motion video, though brief as it may be, and a couple of neat credit screens beyond. After all the credits roll past, immediately start a new game to get unlimited weapons. |
