The Base |

Kills: 10 |

|
Lara and Jean-Yves stand on a high hillside
overlooking a Russian naval base. Light snow drifts down through the
night sky. The scene is almost tranquil. Between two tall
evergreens, Jean-Yves briefs Lara on the situation. Jean-Yves is
standing in front of the snowmobile they arrived on. Lara, dressed in
arctic camouflage, stands closer to the edge of the clearing, peering
down at the naval base using sophisticated night-vision
binoculars. "The Zapadnaya Litsa port," Jean-Yves tells her. "Once the pride of the Russian fleet." Lara surveys the base and spots two black sedans pulling into the base. She zooms in on one of the cars and gets a glimpse of one of the men inside the leading car. "Ex-KGB, the majority of them," Jean-Yves continues, "Trained killers." Lara zooms her binoculars back out to see the two sedans enter the naval base. The gate is guarded by two men. "Dealt with Mafioso before1. Unpleasant memories. Prefer to avoid them whenever possible," Lara turns to Jean-Yves. "Yes, I would prefer this also," he agrees. Lara peers down at the harbor and spies a couple of salvage vessels pulling out of the dockyard. "Hardly a major search party, is it?" She asks. "There's something you're not telling me." Her big brown eyes pierce Jean-Yves. "Ah, yes," Jean-Yves concedes. "I'm a big girl now," Lara tilts her head toward him. "Hit me with the bad news." "It is bad news," Jean-Yves yields. "The admiral's allegiance has been bought and under his command a nuclear submarine. It's housed in one of the dockyards." "Well done," Lara congratulates him on his frankness. "Nuclear submarine? Sounds nice. Perfect holiday." Lara turns and begins toward the edge of the slope. "Lara, wait!" Jean-Yves extends his hands and offers a small item. "Take this tracking device." "What's this? You're not worried about me?" Lara asks defiantly. "Yes. Someone has to." He presses. Lara takes the device and smiles, "Touching, but don't wait up." Lara turns and runs down the slope. Jean-Yves mounts the snowmobile and starts it. He takes a sharp turn and heads off into the woods as Lara makes her way down to the naval base.(follow plot) Lara enters the base via an air duct, and slides down into the base. Lara will crash through a vent cover and drop into a hallway below. To the left the roof has collapsed, so turn right and step forward. Turn right and run down the stairs. Turn left and run past the steaming vent and turn left again. Run down the stairs and turn right. Run through the open doorway and into the storage room ahead. An alarm will sound and Lara will scan the room. She will find a that a mechanical claw is moving across the tracks on the ceiling. The claw is being operated by a sailor in a control room above. As Lara explores the room, the operator will attempt to crush her with the mechanical claw. Being hit with the claw will result in major damage to Lara's health. Lara can take cover from the claw in various doorways around the perimeter of the room or jump out of the way when the claw drops. Run forward all the way across the storage room until Lara reaches the doorway on the opposite side of the storage room. The doorway is a safe spot away from the claw, but turn left before she reaches the doorway and keep Lara close to the wall to run underneath an overhang, which will also protect her from the claw. |

Silver Key #1
|
Turn right when Lara reaches a closed metal cabinet just before the
wooden crate ahead. Open the cabinet2
and search it to find the Silver Key (1).
Turn around and run forward, away from the cabinet. Run to the right
of the pile of crates and back to the left of another pile of
crates. Lara will come to a closed gate at the end of a set of tracks. Turn right and run between the wall and the pile of crates, and then turn left when Lara comes to another doorway. Run forward to the doorway and use the key to open the door. Enter the doorway and turn right. Run up the stairs and draw pistols. Run forward to the wall ahead and turn right. Move along the wall until Lara can spot one of the two Russian soldiers (1, 2) in the room to the left. Blast through the glass to alert them, and hop backwards or duck down to evade their gun fire, and pop up or step out to plug them a few times. Be ready for the soldiers to come out of the doorway at the far end of the hall. Lara should be able to take them down without much difficulty. |

SECRET #1
|
Use the swipe card in the receptacle to the left of the door to open
the door and draw pistols. Turn right, step through the doorway and a
guard dog (3) will attack. Quickly open
fire and backflip away to evade its attacks. Reverse roll as
necessary if it gets behind Lara and continue firing until it
falls. Enter the newly opened doorway and turn left. The ceiling ahead has collapsed which prevents any further progress down the tunnel. Draw pistols and turn right. Jump up and blow apart the vent cover. Climb up into the air duct and run to the far end of the duct. Pick up the gold rose (4), which is SECRET #1, and reverse roll.

opposite the doorway that Lara entered from. Use the swipe card in
the card reader on the left side of the doorway to open the
door. Turn right, step through the newly opened doorway and turn right again. Run up the stairs. Turn left, run forward and turn left once more. Run up the steps, turn left and run out onto the balcony ahead. Lara must now prepare to cross this large storage room by leaping across the crates in the middle. It is important that she executes her following jumps smoothly as to avoid being crushed by the mechanical claw above. Walk forward to the right edge of the balcony where the railing is broken. Angle Lara to the right and take a running jump down to the large square bundle of grey metal crates below. Angle Lara to the left and set Lara up to take a running jump to the pile of crates in the middle of the storage room. Allow the claw to approach, and then take the running jump. Quickly turn right and jump or climb up onto the high wooden crate. Angle Lara to the right and take a running jump to the small pile of crates ahead. Vault or jump up onto the wooden crate at the top of the pile and take a running jump forward. Grab onto the balcony ahead and quickly pull up onto the balcony. Turn right, run forward, and turn right again. Run to the end of the balcony, and turn left. Run along the wall and turn right when Lara reaches the big red button. Press the button to open the door to the control room. Turn left, step forward, and turn right and enter the doorway. Run forward and turn right. Run forward to enter the control room. Lara will enter the control room and draw pistols. She opens fire on the claw operator3, who quickly turns and draws a pistol. The operator opens fire, and Lara ducks behind a desk. She is pinned down by the operator's fire. Thinking quickly, she dives to the side and shoots the operator in the knees from beneath the desk. After subduing the operator, Lara uses the controls to manipulate the mechanical claw across the storage room. She brings the claw down, grappling onto a large bar that seals the large gate on the opposite side of the room. She raises the claw, which pulls the lower half of the gate off. Reverse roll and angle Lara to the right. Run to the other side of the control room. Open and search the metal cabinet on the left to find a pair of Uzi clips (5). Side step to the right to open and search the metal cabinet on the right to find a small Medi Pack (6). Take a hop back away from the cabinet and turn right.

Run forward to the part of the balcony with the broken railing and position Lara on the right side of the gap. Angle Lara to the right and take a running jump down to the small square bundle of grey metal crates. Angle Lara to the left and take a running jump to the pile of crates in the middle of the room. Angle Lara to the right and run across the pile of crates to the opposite corner of the pile. Take a running jump across to the pile of crates in the corner ahead and to the right of the large gate. Turn right and climb up to the upper crates. Run forward along the upper crates to pick up a small Medi Pack (7). Turn around and walk back along the upper crates. At the end of the pile of the crates angle Lara to the left and take a jump back to the pile of crates in the middle of the room. Turn right and run forward to climb up onto the higher crates. Run forward across the upper crates. Take a running jump down to the pile of crates in the corner that Lara originally entered the storage room. Climb up to the upper crates and run forward to pick up a pair of Uzi clips (8). Reverse roll, run forward and drop back down to the lower crates. Run forward and drop to the ground. Run forward to the tracks and turn left. Stay close to either wall, draw pistols and run forward. About halfway down the tunnel, two Russian soldiers (4, 5) will emerge. Open fire and crouch down to use the small triangular ledges as cover as necessary. When both soldiers fall, run down the tunnel and turn left when Lara nears the end of the tunnel. Run forward through the opening and turn right. Run forward until Lara steps outside to a dockyard. The sky is brighter as dawn is approaching. The wind howls as snow blows around the conning tower of the large submarine that is docked ahead. |

Ahead is a large crane used to load supplies onto the submarine. Lara
can head forward and drop down into a gap to find some chilly water
and ice between the dock and the submarine, but there is nothing of
value to find in this area except for a ladder to climb back
out. Run forward, turn left when Lara reaches the crane, and continue forward to the door. Use the swipe card in the card reader to the left of the door to open it. Turn right, draw pistols and step forward. |

Silver Key #2
|
Open fire on a Russian soldier (6) that
is guarding the room and take him out. Pick up the Silver Key (10) that the fallen soldier was carrying. Turn
around and exit through the doorway that Lara just opened. When Lara returns to the crane, turn right and run forward. Reenter the doorway and run down the tunnel. Turn left and return to the wide tunnel with the tracks. Cross the tracks and enter the tunnel on the opposite side of the tunnel. Turn left and run up the steps. Turn right, run forward and turn right again. Run up another flight of stairs and turn left. Run forward, turn left , and run up another flight of stairs. Use the silver key that Lara just picked up to open the door, and run through the open doorway. Lara hears the voices of two men below, so she immediately crouches down and listens in on their conversation. The tall burly man tells the well-decorated man in uniform, "Move your men along, Yarofev. I do not pay such exorbitant prices for incompetence." "You forget, Mikhailov," The officer reminds sternly. "I am still an admiral of Russian navy and as such demand respect." Lara presumes that this must be Admiral Yarofev, that Jean-Yves briefed her on earlier. "While you accept my bribes for use of the submarine, you are under my employ and will follow my instructions without complaint," Mikhailov replies "If I deal with the like of you to keep my men in bread, it does not make me one of you," Admiral Yarofev hisses. Mikhailov laughs loudly and slaps the admiral on the back, "Relax, my friend. We are two sides of the same coin." He turns and walks away and boards the submarine. "Mafioso filth," Yarofev spits at Mikhailov under his breath. He turns and calls to his men, "Brushev, hurry on with that box. Our new commander demands efficiency." A couple of men shove a crate, which slides down a ramp into the submarine. "Enough! Enough!" The admiral calls, "Board and seal hatches." Yarofev climbs onto the conning tower of the submarine, where Mikhailov is waiting for him. Mikhailov announces "As you have promoted me to commander, is it not fitting to board before the admiral?" Mikhailov climbs into the open hatch, leaving Yarofev to watch him. Lara takes in the scene and waits until all the men have disappeared into the submarine before standing up.(follow plot) Turn right and walk forward to the end of the platform where it slopes down. Take a running jump and grab the sloped platform on the opposite side. Pull up and walk forward. Turn left and walk to the other edge of the platform.

When it's dead, run to the lockers that are opposite the showers.
Turn left, open and search the first pair of lockers on the left to
find a pair of Uzi Clips (13). Side step
to the right, open and search the second pair of lockers left to find
a Fuse (14). There is nothing to be

SECRET #3
|
Turn and run to the showers. Angle Lara to the right and run through
the shallow water along the right wall of the showers and locate the
drain grate in the corner. Flip the grate open and drop into the
water. Swim down and spin around. Follow the tunnel forward where it
will reach a 'T'-intersection. The short tunnel to the left leads to a
dead end. Turn right and follow the tunnel as it bends to the left twice, and then to back to the right. The tunnel will dive downward and to the right, and then back to the left twice. The tunnel will bend back to the right twice and head upward. Surface and pull out of the water and pick up a gold rose, which is SECRET #3. Reverse roll and run forward. Ahead, beyond the bars, is the submarine. Dive back into the shaft. Follow the underwater tunnel down, to the left twice, to the right twice, upward, to the left, back to the right twice. When Lara reaches the intersecting tunnel, turn left and swim forward. When Lara reaches the end of the underwater tunnel, swim upward and surface. Pull out of the water and exit the shower area. |

Turn and head toward the closed doorway at the far side of the locker
room. Turn right and push the big red button to open the door. Turn
left and run forward through the newly opened door. Run forward, across the tracks, and enter the tunnel on the opposite side. Turn right and run forward, but stop before stepping back outside. Combine the Desert Eagle with the LaserSight. Outside there are two snipers situated in high windows. Angle Lara to the right and run around to the right side of the flatbed rail car with the crate on it and run to the far corner of the cart and turn around, and take single steps forward. When the Russian sniper (8) appears in the window above, quickly draw the Desert Eagle pistol, target the sniper and take him out with a shot to the head or chest. Turn right and pull up onto the flatbed car. Step forward and side step to the right until another Russian sniper (9) appears in the window above and Lara can get a clear shot at him. Target him with the Desert Eagle and take him out. Run forward and drop off the other side of the cart and run around the crane. Reenter the doorway ahead and turn left. Run forward to the machine. Run around the machine to the back side and replace the missing fuse in the fuse panel on the left. The machine will activate the fans behind the grates and open a door near the entrance to this room. Run back around the machine and draw a weapon. Run forward and a guard dog (10) will charge into the room from outside. Kill the dog and jump around as necessary. Enter the newly opened door, which faces the entrance to this room and press the big red button. Pressing the button will activate the crane and cause it to swing the crate out toward the submarine. Reverse roll, run forward and exit this room. Run to the flatbed car and climb up onto the crate. Turn left and walk forward to the corner of the crate. Take a running jump and grab onto the crate that is suspended by the crane. Run across the crate and take a running jump to the hull of the submarine. Lara lands on the submarine quite hard, rolls forward and ducks behind a ridge near the top of the submarine. A Russian marine hears Lara hit the submarine and steps out of the submarine to investigate. He walks past Lara's hiding place toward the tower. Lara quickly scrambles to her feet and runs forward to hide behind a crate. She peeks around the crate and then smacks her fist against the crate to get the marine's attention. The marine turns around to investigate. Expecting someone to be hiding behind the crate, the marine leaps around the corner of the crate to find no one there. Lara, meanwhile, has made her way around the crate the other way and has sneaked up on the marine from behind. She attempts to clobber him from behind, but he deflects her falling fist. He grabs her arm and twists her around. Lara elbows him in the gut, causing him to double over, turns and gives him a swift upper-cut to the jaw, laying him out. She quickly turns and enters the submarine just in time, as the loading bay doors are closed behind her. She looks around and huffs, "Humph, economy class."(follow plot) |
