Turn right and run forward past Sophia Leigh's desk, between the desk and the chair. Turn left and exit the office through the same doorway that Sophia escaped through. Sophia will be using her scepter to fire green bolts from the neighboring building. She will fire a series of approximately eleven double bolts before she charges up and fires a large triple bolt. Use the recharge time to get Lara to make her way to the next safe hiding place. Also as Lara climbs up the tower, Sophia will climb up along with her. Lara can make use of the time that Sophia is climbing to make her way to her next hiding place. Stand behind the safety of the pillar on the left and angle Lara to the right3.

When Sophia fires her tenth bolt, run diagonally across the open area and up the ramp. Take a running jump and grab the wall to the left of the ramp. Pull up to the higher ledge. Quickly reverse roll and take a running jump and grab across the open area. Pull up onto the ledge with the light. Turn left and vault up onto the next ledge. Immediately turn right and climb up to the next ledge. If Lara is looking for a hiding place, instead of climbing to the next ledge, she can run to the end of the current ledge, reverse and grab to hang off the back ledge to hide from Sophia's blasts.

When Lara is on the next highest ledge turn left and vault onto the metal ledge and run forward and drop to the ledge behind the metal ledge and turn around. Lara can crouch down here to hide from Sophia's blasts.
SECRET #1
Hang from the ledge. Shimmy to the left until Lara reaches the end of the crevice. Release and grab the crawlspace below. Pull up into the crawlspace and turn around. Have Lara lower herself into the hole, which is SECRET #1, and pick up a rocket (1). Drop into the hallway to the right and pick up a large Medi Pack (2). Turn around and vault out of the lower passage, and turn right. Climb back up into the crawlspace and turn around. Have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace and safety drop back to the ground. Lara will take a tiny bit of damage when she hits the ground.

Now have her make her way back up to the metal ledge by running diagonally across the ramp, taking a running jump and grab onto the wall to the left of the ramp, pulling up to the higher ledge, reverse rolling and take a running jump and grab to cross the open area. Pull up onto the ledge with the light. Turn left and vault up onto the next ledge. Turn left and vault onto the metal ledge and run forward to drop down to the ledge behind the metal ledge and turn around and crouch down to avoid Sophia's bolts.
When the Sophia is recharging, quickly vault onto the metal ledge, and drop down the other side of it. Quickly run forward and turn right. Run across the walkway, collecting a small Medi Pack (3) along the way, and press the button on the far wall to drop a trapdoor above the metal ledge. Reverse roll and run back across the walkway. Turn left and run forward to vault onto the metal ledge.

Reverse roll and walk forward to the end of the metal ledge and jump and grab the ledge above. Pull up and turn left. Climb up to the next highest ledge. Turn left once more and run forward and Lara will step down to a slightly lower ledge. Grab the large Medi Pack (4) and turn around. Run forward and follow the walkway as it turns right. Pick up a small Medi Pack (5). Ahead and to the left of the walkway is a wire mesh. Run forward and angle Lara to the left and take a running jump and grab to reach the mesh.

Climb up to the top of the mesh and turn left to grab a small Medi Pack (6). Turn around and crouch down. Crawl into the crawlspace on the left and when Lara can stand, turn around. Run forward and jump and grab the ledge above and pull up to the next highest ledge. Crouch down and Lara can hide from Sophia's blasts here behind the sloped ledge. Sophia will now be standing on the metal catwalk.

When Sophia recharges for a triple bolt, stand up and run forward, stepping up onto the higher ledge. Take a running jump and and grab to cross the gap and reach the opposite ledge. Pull up and run forward behind the electrical box. Lara should be safe from Sophia's blasts here behind the electrical box. Draw weapons and turn right. Blast the electrical box and electrocute Sophia Leigh (1). Do not step onto the metal catwalk or Lara will also be electrocuted.

Turn around and take a running jump and grab to return to the other ledge. Walk forward and step down to the lower ledge. Turn around and hop backwards off the ledge to drop to the lower ledge. Crouch down and crawl forward to the other ledge. Turn right and walk to the end of this ledge. Angle Lara slightly to the right and take a standing jump to the metal ledge on the opposite building. Turn left and run along the long metal ledge until Lara reaches the end of the ledge.

Climb up onto the concrete ledge ahead but do not vault up onto the ledge ahead of the concrete ledge because it is electrified. Instead, turn right and climb onto the concrete block. Run forward and turn left. Climb on to the higher concrete block and run forward to drop down behind it. Turn around and press the button to turn off the electricity. Now it's safe to collect the artifact, so turn right and step down to the concrete ledge. Walk forward and turn left and collect the Eye Of Isis (7).



After defeating Sophia, Lara turns off the high voltage and retrieves the Eye of Isis. All the shooting and explosions has fially drawn the attention of the local constabulary, as Lara can hear the sirens below. Thinking quickly, Lara jumps aboard the helicopter which Sophia was planning to use to make her getaway. Lara straps herself in and pilots the chopper away. (follow plot

Footnotes:
  1. If you have chosen to follow the order that we at the Traveler's Guide have chosen to complete each area, then you should be ready to proceed to Antarctica at this point.

  2. If you followed a different order to complete the game, we have included the links to those levels of the game as well.

  3. The best strategy for this level is probably not to pick up any items or the secret until after first terminating Sophia Leigh. This avoids risking injury when Lara stops to pick up objects or having to redo segments in order to obtain SECRET #1. Also, Sophia will be much busier trying to keep up with Lara as she climbs up the building to continue to firing bolts at Lara.

    In order to employ this strategy, follow the walkthrough above but skip the two paragraphs that describe the location of the secret items and do not stop to pick up any items. After frying Sophia, turn right and take a running jump and grab to cross the gap. Pull up and run forward. Drop down to the lower ledge. Turn around and crawl through the short crawlspace and stand up.

    Turn right and pickup the small Medi Pack (6). Hop backwards and safety drop off the ledge to the walkway below. Turn left and run across the walkway and collect the small Medi Pack (5). Follow the walkway as it turns left and collect the large Medi Pack (4). Turn around and step forward, and then drop off the right side of the ledge to the ledge below. Turn left and hop backwards to drop through the open trapdoor. Run forward and drop off the small metal ledge and run forward and follow the walkway as it turns right. Pick up the last small Medi Pack (3) and turn around.

    Run back down the walkway, and turn left. Vault onto the small metal ledge and drop down the other side. Now, follow the instructions listed in walkthrough above for collecting SECRET #1. Then follow the instructions in the walkthrough to climb all the way back up the ledge above the wire mesh. Follow the remainder of the walkthrough for turning off the electricity and collecting the artifact.
