Lara will begin still in the tree house with the soldier asleep on
the cot. Exit this room to the balcony and turn left. Run off the
ledge to drop to a slope below and Lara will slide to the ground. If
Lara attempts to turn left and head back to the village, an earthquake
will cause rocks to fall into the pass. Instead, turn right and head
toward the swamp.
The swamp is sixteen blocks long with fifteen patches of vegetation on
it. Some patches are merely floating in quicksand, while others
identify locations that are safe to tread on. Use the swamp map that
the Australian gave Lara to determine which ones are safe1. Walk out as far as possible without falling
into the quicksand.
Have Lara turn left and walk forward until she reaches the green
triangular ledge [3,1] that juts out into the swamp. Take a standing
jump to the first patch of vegetation that is over one block to the
right and ahead two. Take a running jump to the next patch that is
ahead three blocks and over one [8,3]. Turn and face squarely right.
Angle Lara a little further to the right and take a running jump to
the next patch that is two blocks to the right and three blocks ahead
[6,6]. Turn right and take a running jump to the next patch that is
two blocks forward and one block to the left [3,7]. Turn left and take
a running jump to the next patch that is ahead three blocks and over
to the right one [2,10]. Angle to the left and take a standing jump to
the next patch that is diagonally over two blocks [4,12]. Face the far
end of the swamp and angle left. Take a running jump to the next patch
that is over three blocks and ahead two [7,14].
|
SECRET #1
|
Turn and face the far end of the swamp and angle to the left. Take a
standing jump [9,16] to the last patch in the corner of the
swamp. Climb up into the alcove, which is SECRET #1, and pick up MP5
clips (1). Step deeper into the alcove
and pick up more MP5 clips (2). Drop out
of the alcove onto the last patch of vegetation. Take a standing jump
diagonally to the left, back to the previous patch of vegetation.
|
|
Turn and face the end of the swamp. Angle to the right and take a
running jump to clear the swamp. Walk forward through the trees until
Lara comes to the top of a slope. Side step to the left until Lara is
one block away from the rocks. Angle left and take a running jump to
the flat ledge. Collect the grenades (3). Drop off the ledge and run forward down the
steps. Draw weapons and take out a raptor (1) that will attack from the right.
When the raptor is dead, run down the misty pass, through the shallow
pond until Lara comes to a cave. Vault up into the cavern and run to
the back right corner. Climb onto the block and turn left. Take a
standing jump and grab to reach the higher ledge. Climb into the
passage ahead and turn right. Run forward and drop down into the
valley below. Ahead is the large transport plane. Turn left and step
forward and draw weapons to take out another raptor (2) that will emerge from behind the
tree2.
Take out the raptor and turn around. Run forward to the nose of the
plane. Turn left and run past the tree and just beyond the tree, run
into the tunnel on the right and drop into the hole. Run forward and
climb up. Pick up MP5 clips (4) that are
on this ledge on the right. In the clearing beyond is an Australian
soldier (3) with a tree on the left and
three trees on the right. If Lara kills the soldier she can collect
MP5 Clips (5) from his body, but if she
leaves him alone he will help her fight enemies. Draw weapons and run
forward. Two raptors (4, 5) will attack,
one from the left ahead and one from the right behind. Lara can climb
up onto the ledge on the right to shoot at the raptors from
safety.
When the raptors are dead, face the right side of this clearing with
three trees. Run to the edge of the clearing and climb onto the
ledge. Turn around and take a standing jump and grab to reach the
branch of the tree above. Turn right and step forward to pick up a
large Medi Pack (6).
|
SECRET #2
|
Walk all the way to the end off this branch and side step to the left.
Take a standing jump forward to the next branch, which will be SECRET
#2 and pick up a box of flares (7).
|
|
Drop to the ground and run toward the large cavern. Slide down to the
lower area and four procompsognathids (6, 7, 8,
9) will emerge and scavenge a dead raptor in the middle of the
cavern. Draw weapons and take them out and jump around to avoid them.
Run forward, directly away from the slope that Lara just slid down, to
the back wall. Climb onto a ledge on the back wall and collect a
small Medi Pack (8).
Turn around and drop off the ledge. Turn left and run forward to the
pool. There, turn right again and head toward the mound in the far
end of the cave. Turn right and climb up onto a small ledge just
inside of the cavern to collect a small Medi Pack (8). Drop back to the ground and run to the
top of the mound.
|
Commander Bishop's Key
& Tyrannosaurus Rex |
On top of the mound, Lara will find the body of Commander Bishop.
Turn and face out of this cavern. When Lara picks up Commander
Bishop's Key (9), a Tyrannosaurus Rex
(10) will arrive, a steel gate will open
on the far end of the tunnel beyond the raptor carcass, and the torch
near that gate will light. Run forward down the mound and wade into
the water until Lara is standing in waist deep water. The T-Rex will
not attack Lara if she is waist deep in the water. Draw weapons and
kill the T-Rex3.
When the T-Rex is dead, run back to the first cavern with the dead
raptor. Run past the raptor to the open gate and pick up a box of
flares (10). Run into the open gate and
pull the lever to open a second steel gate and light the torch near
it. Reverse roll and run back to the pool. To the left of the pool
in the corner is the gate that Lara just opened. Run to the corner
and pick up some flares (11). Enter the
open gate and pull the second lever to open the gate next to the first
lever to allow access back to the upper clearing.
Another raptor (11) will appear in the
clearing. If the soldier is still alive he will keep the raptor
occupied, otherwise it will run down the newly opened gate to
attack. If the raptor comes down the tunnel, Lara can climb up to one
of the small ledges to shoot at it from a safe location. If not, Lara
can shoot at the raptor as he dances around the soldier by jumping up
and down. Run back across the pool toward the cavern with the raptor
carcass. Enter the alcove and turn left. Step forward to collect a
box of flares (12) and a small Medi Pack
(13). Run up to the tunnel and turn left
and run forward to return to the clearing. Turn right and run to the
far right corner. Vault up into the ledge and drop back into the
hole. Run forward and climb up the other side of the hole.
Run forward along the right side of the crash site. Lara will need to
take a jump over a ledge. Turn right when Lara reaches the tree and
enter a dark tunnel. Drop into the hole and light a flare to improve
visibility. Step forward and pick up MP5 clips (14). Run to the end of the tunnel and turn
left to enter a courtyard and the gate will close behind Lara as she
steps inside. Five compys (12, 13, 14, 15,
16) will attack from various alcoves in this room4. Kill them quickly and then collect MP5
Clips (15) and a large Medi Pack (16). Now run to the right and pull the lever in
the alcove on the right. Exit the alcove and run diagonally cross the
courtyard to a dark alcove and pull a second alcove to open the
gate.
Exit the courtyard and turn right. Run to the end of tunnel and turn
left. Climb up out of the tunnel. Lara will hear the sounds of
fighting. Quickly take a jump up to the flat ledge to right of the
tree and slide down the other side. Lara will find two soldiers
(17, 18) fighting a raptor (19). If Lara or the raptor kills the soldiers
she can collect a pair of MP5 clips (17,
18) from each of them.
The stream ahead will sweep over a high waterfall. Instead, enter the
tunnel near the waterfalls on the right. Run inside and turn right and
back to the left to exit the tunnel to another area. Run forward past
the tree Lara will find an area divided by a stream and guarded by a
soldier (20). A raptor (21) will attack the soldier from the left, so
take it out quickly or climb onto the ledge on the right to shoot at
it from a safe vantage point. If the soldier is killed, collect MP5
Clips (19) from his body.
If Lara attempts to cross the bridge, it will collapse and dump Lara
in piranha infested waters. Turn instead and face away from the water
and vault up onto the low ledge to the left of the tree. Climb up to
the higher ledge and turn around. Draw weapons and jump up and down to
target and kill a raptor (22) that's
hiding in the branches above. When it's dead, turn right and face the
vines that are growing up the side of the rock face. Climb up the
vines and when Lara reaches the top, jump off the rock face. Keep the
jump key depressed, and Lara will leap off a steep slope and back flip
onto the branch.
Turn right and walk toward the trunk of the tree. Angle Lara to the
left and take a standing jump to a rocky ledge. Turn right and take a
standing jump up to a small triangular ledge. Turn right and Lara
should be able to take a standing jump up to a branch above the
triangular ledge. Draw weapons and take out a raptor (23) that's running around in the branches to
the right. Take a standing jump forward to a rock ledge to collect a
crystal (20). Turn right and take a
standing jump to the branch.
|
SECRET #3
|
Turn left and walk up the branch to where it turns upwards. Angle
Lara to the left5 and take a standing
jump and grab to reach the the highest branch. Pull up onto SECRET
#3, and walk forward and to the right. Pick up MP5 clips (21), and turn around and walk back to the main
branch and slide back down to the lower part of the branch. Walk
forward and turn left.
|
|
Walk out onto the branch that extends out toward the raptor carcass
that's hanging over the river. Draw weapons and shoot out the chain
and it will fall into the water below. The piranha will attack the
raptor and now Lara can swim through the water without fear of being
eaten by the piranha. Turn left and take a running jump to the grass
covered ledge on the left. Turn left and walk forward and collect a
small Medi Pack (22).
Dive into the water and swim to the underwater lever near the bridge.
Pull it to open a gate that leads into the temple. Swim along the
bank of the stream along the same side as the lever. Pull up at the
one place where the ground is low enough to pull up. Draw weapons and
kill a raptor (24) that will emerge from
the newly opened gate. Draw weapons, run forward into the gate and a
second raptor (25) will lunge out. Back
flip out of the doorway and to the right while firing to kill the
second raptor. Try back flipping into the water to safety if either
raptor is too much to handle.
Enter the temple, and the gate inside the dark room are three levers.
Two levers are on the back wall and one on the right. The three levers
open a wooden platform above. The first lever on the left side of the
back wall will open the exit gate and another raptor (26) will enter. Reverse roll and take it out
by jumping around in this tight room. The next lever on the right
side of the back wall has no visible effects. When Lara pulls the
last lever, the wooden trapdoor will drop open and two raptors (27, 28) will rush into the room. Draw weapons
and take out the raptors while jumping around to avoid their attacks.
|
Lt. Tuckerman's Key
|
Vault up onto the platform and then jump and climb up onto the
platform above. On the platform above, Lara will find the body of
Lieutenant Tuckerman. Collect the crystal6 (23), and walk
over to the far right corner. Turn around and face away from the
corner. Pick up Lt. Tuckerman's Key (24)
and draw weapons. A raptor (29) will
appear out of nowhere. Take out the raptor and drop to the floor of
the room below. Exit the temple and dive into the water. Swim to the
right, toward the waterfall.
Swim across to the other side and pull up out of the water to the
right side of the tree. Run forward to the corner and turn left. Run
forward and turn right and enter the tunnel to return to the crash
site. Follow the tunnel as it turns right and then back to the left
and opens back out onto the crash site.
Turn left and run toward the flat ledge to the left of the tail of the
plane. Vault onto the ledge and run forward to slide down onto the
ground beyond the ridge. Run forward toward the nose of the airplane,
and take a hairpin turn to the right around the tree that the plane
crashed into7.
Run forward toward the tree to the left of the plane.
Stand at the highest point on the small hill behind the tree. Angle
Lara left and face the small triangular rock ledge and take a standing
jump to it. Turn right and take a standing jump and grab to reach the
moss covered ledge above. Turn right and take a standing jump and grab
to reach the handholds on the underside of the branch.
Swing forward until Lara reaches the the tree trunk. Release and drop
to a branch below. Turn left and walk diagonally to the left along the
branch and then turn back to the right when Lara reaches the end of
the branch. Take a running jump and grab to reach the handholds in
the side of the tree trunk. Climb up the tree and pull up to the
flat ledge above. Turn left and jump up and grab the handholds in the
branch above.
Swing forward until Lara reaches the end of the handholds. Release
and Lara will fall down to a flat ledge below. If Lara swings all the
way to the very end, then she will likely fall onto a sloped ledge. In
that case she will need to grab the edge and shimmy to the right and
pull up. Turn right and walk forward up the ledge. Side step to the
right and hop back to hang from the ledge.
Lara will find footholds, so climb all the way down until Lara is just
hanging by her hands. Shimmy to the left until Lara can pull up onto
a flat rock ledge. Run forward and turn right. Crouch down and crawl
forward into the crawlspace. Follow the tunnel as it turns left. When
the crawlspace widens, crawl to the left again. When Lara can stand
up, turn right and drop to the floor of this small cave.
Turn right, run forward, and climb up onto the ledge. Reverse roll
and grab the bars on the ceiling. Swing forward and follow the bars
as they take a hairpin turn around to the right. Release when Lara
reaches the the small tunnel that leads to another tall cavern. Drop
down to the ledge below the tunnel and turn right. Run forward and
enter the alcove on the right and pull the lever to change the
position of two of the wooden gates.
Side step to the right and run forward and climb back up to the small
tunnel on the left. Turn around, jump up, and swing all the way
forward to the until Lara is against the far wall. Release and
immediately grab the rock face. Climb down until Lara is below the
alcove. Shift to the left until Lara can climb up and pull into the
alcove. Pull the second lever to raise a third wooden
platform.
Hop backwards out of the alcove and Lara will slide down. Grab the
bottom edge of the slope. Pull up and jump to back flip onto the top
of a rock column to collect a crystal (25). Turn around and take a running jump back up
to the ledge under the small tunnel. Turn left and enter the first
alcove and raise the lever to return the first two wooden platforms to
their original positions. Side step to the right and run forward and
climb back up into the small tunnel. Reverse roll and jump up to grab
the bars overhead.
Follow the bars and swing forward, turn left at the small wooden
platform. Swing forward, turning left, then right three times around
the rock column. Swing all the way to the end of the bars, but
instead of heading toward the newly raised wooden platform, turn right
and face the rock column instead. Swing forward until Lara is against
the rock column. Release and immediately grab the rock face and climb
down, past the alcove on the right that is blocked by a metal grate,
until Lara is at the very bottom of this rock column, but still using
her feet to hold on.
Jump to take a back flip onto a ledge. Turn around and run forward to
pull the switch on the right. Turn right and walk forward to the very
edge of the ledge. Take a standing jump and grab to return to the
rock column. Climb up and shift to the right when Lara is beneath a
newly opened metal grate. Climb up and pull up into the alcove that
was formerly blocked. Turn around and angle Lara to the right. Take
a running jump to the sloped ledge beneath the second lever. Lara
will slide backwards, so grab the bottom of the ledge. Shimmy to the
right until Lara is directly beneath the second switch. Pull up and
immediately jump to back flip onto the central rock column.
Turn around and take a running jump back up to the ledge under the
small tunnel. Climb up into the small tunnel. Reverse roll and jump
up to grab the bars. Now swing all the way to the end by swinging
forward, turning left twice, and right three times, and left once
more. Swing forward and Lara can release inside another
cavern.
Turn right and run forward and collect a pair of Uzi clips (26). Turn right and climb onto the ledge. Turn
left and climb up into the next passage. Run forward to the end of
this passage. Take a running jump and grab she an reach an
upper branch of the tree. Pull up and take a standing jump onto
what's left of the wing, and run forward onto the top of the air
carrier. Run forward onto the fuselage and turn right. Run forward
to the hole and take a standing jump over it.
Draw weapons, reverse roll and run forward to drop
into the hole on top of the plane. A raptor (30) will emerge from the compartment ahead.
Take it out quickly by jumping forward over it as it attacks and
reverse rolling to keep Lara's guns trained on it. Collect the MP5
Clips (27) after the raptor is dead.
Turn around and run into the cockpit of the plane and turn
around. There are two locks to either side of the cockpit door. Use
Commander Bishop's key in the left lock and Lt. Tuckerman's key in the
right doorway. With both keys in place the plane's cockpit will light
up.
Exit the cockpit, run to into the left opening into the rear cabin of
the plane. Drop into the lower cargo hold and reverse roll. Notice
the mounted rocket launcher, and run forward through the open
doorway. Make a hairpin turn to the right and throw the switch to open
loading doors in the tail of the plane and to roll the the rocket
launcher out of the tail of the plane.
Run forward to the rocket launcher and thirty raptors (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43,
44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59,
60) will emerge from various alcoves around the crash site and
attack. Lara can use the rocket launcher to indiscriminantly take out
the raptors and any soldiers that may have survived to this
point. The raptors can still attack Lara when she is firing the
rocket launcher. Lara can also take a couple of back flips into the
cargo bay of the plane to slowly and safely kill the raptors with her
own weapons. The raptors will not enter the plane.
When all the raptors are dead, use the rocket launcher and aim at the
large brick walls in the far left corner of the crash site. Fire
rockets to blast through both the wall on the left and right of the
corner pillar. Dismount the rocket launcher and run out to the left,
onto the broken off wing of the transport plane. Walk out to the very tip
of the wing. Take a standing jump, over the stream, to the ledge.
Turn left and run forward to the end of the ledge.
Turn right and climb up onto the higher ledge. Take a standing jump
up to the area on the right. Run forward and collect a crystal (28) and a large Medi Pack (29). Turn around and head back toward the blown
out wall. Angle to the right and take a running jump through the
adjacent blown out wall, to the ledge beyond and run forward.
Lara enters a large stone temple and walks down the corridor
into a quiet stone room illuminated by torches. Lara scans the room
to find an altar flanked by two large statues. Behind the altar is a
large Polynesian style painting with smaller paintings encircling it.
Suddenly Lara hears the sound of a loud slap of flesh on flesh and a
guttural chanting. She swings around to locate the source of the
voice. The voice belongs to a dark tribesman in the corner of the
prayer room. He is doing some kind of ritual dance and chanting,
"Hoombada. Hoombada." The tribesman is slapping his thighs and
beating his chest. When he sees Lara, he looks her over and smacking
his lips he tells her8, "Is well fa you
me fasting dis day. You make plenty good flesh-pot."
Lara sizes him up and decides to call his threat, "You forget. I
might be quite hungry myself. Famished actually."
The tribesman grunts with contempt, "Uah!"
Lara looks back over the paintings, points to a drawing of men
fleeing by canoe and asks, "Why did your ancestors flee from
Antarctica so suddenly?"
The warrior remains crouched in the corner with his hands on his
thighs and replies, "Koma-Koma, bad place. Plenty flesh, but fa da
price of evil. Mutilation! Da sixth leader, Mauki wa born widout
face. Terrible storms. Men afraid. Ran! Set curse of Mauki on da
land. No one go there now."
Lara examines the central painting, which is a fiery meteorite
with four artifacts below it. Lara asks the warrior, "You still
worship it?"
The warrior grins and replies, "White fella later com here wit
magic Koma-Koma stone. Inna day we celebrate da death of heem. Da
feast of Smythe."
Lara recognizes the name, "One of Darwin's sailors. Poor
fool." Lara turns to the warrior to ask, "Where is the stone
now?"
The warrior is now just squatting in the corner, chanting and
rocking on the balls of his feet. Lara decides that she's not getting
any more answers from him, so she turns and walks away. He finally
look sup and warns her, "He lucky fella dat keel you. A plenty Mary
like you."
Lara is unphased and answers to the warrior, "I'll be sure to
point that out to him." She turns and exits through another corridor
leading out the right of the prayer room. (follow plot)

Footnotes:
- The map is not altogether clear, and our directions are relative
to the direction that Lara is currently facing. To try to clear
things up, I've included some coordinates. The first coordinate is
the width of the swamp, which is 1 on the right and 9 on the left. The
second coordinate describes the length of the swamp, which starts at 1
on the ledge that Lara can stand on and goes to 16. Which is the far
end of the swamp. If this is all too confusing for you, please refer
to our swamp map with coordinates.
- At this point, You are supposed to move onto the rest of the
crash site, but the sequence that leads to the top of the transport plane
is quite long and tedious. Since it's still early in the level, you
might want to figure it out and to follow the long path to the top of
the air-carrier now while this level is fresh and you are more
motivated, and use the short cut, as described in footnote #6 below,
when you're ready to get onto the cargo plane. If you want to follow
that path, jump to the paragraph that begins with, "Run forward toward the tree to the left of the
plane." When you are done, instead of jumping onto the plane,
slide to the ground and run forward around the plane.
- Instead of fighting the T-Rex yourself, you can enlist the help
of the raptors to take down the T-Rex. Simply kill the soldier in the
clearing above or allow the two raptors to mangle him, and then slide
down to the T-Rex nest. After picking up Bishop's Key, run and pull
both levers. When Lara pulls the second lever, three raptors will
rush down the tunnel and attack the T-Rex. Climb onto one of the
ledges where you had collected small Medi Packs from for a safe
front-row view of the carnage. The T-Rex is also easily distracted by
flares. Light a flare and toss it to the side, and the T-Rex will
stop to check it out. You can then run behind its tail while it's
facing away.
- Tim Morrow tells me that seven compys emerge from the alcoves and
attack. In the four or five times I've played through this room, no
more than 5 compy's have ever come out. If you get seven, then you
will have 2 more kills to your totals than I do.
- Thanks once again to Igor Kudrnovsky for his editorial work on
this level.
- Players of the PC version may want to wait until after dealing
with the next raptor before picking up this crystal. Sony Playstation
players who are having difficulties with this raptor can immediately
drop to the safety of the floor below. To take out the raptor from
the safety of the floor, jump up and down on the pedestal and shoot at
the raptor from the top of each jump.
- Instead of bothering with all the climbing and swinging required
to get onto the plane, you can take a shortcut onto the top of the
cargo plane, by running forward and to the side of the cargo plane.
Run forward until Lara reaches the door on the side of the plane.
Take a standing jump up to the ledge in front of the door. Jump up
and grab the edge of the fuselage. Shimmy to the left until Lara
reaches the nose of the cargo plane. Pull up and run forward onto the
nose of the plane. Turn right and take a standing jump over the
cockpit of the plane. Once you're on top of the plane, you can jump
to the paragraph that begins with, "Draw weapons,
reverse roll and run forward to drop into the hole on top of the
plane." only you will not need to reverse roll because you're
already facing the right way.
- Thanks to Vicky Arnold, script-writer for Tomb Raider III, for
sharing her script with us. Without it we may never have deciphered
all of this dialogue. I typed up the dialogue with the tribesman's
accent intact. If you're having trouble figuring out the tribesman's
English, here is our rough translation: "Lucky for you I'm fasting
today, otherwise you'd be good eating. [...] Koma-Koma is a bad place.
There was plenty to eat there, but for the price of evil. Mutilation!
The sixth leader, Mauki was born without a face. After that, there
were terrible storms. The men became afraid, ran, and then set the
curse of Mauki on the land. No one dares go there now. [...] Later, a
white fellow came here with the magic Koma-Koma stone. Tomorrow we
celebrate his death. The feast of Smythe! [...] Whoever kills you is
a lucky fellow. A big tender meal like you."
