Egypt, Present Day
|
Streams of sand blow over the tops of parched
desert dunes. The endless waves of sand are punctuated by two forms.
Two camels, each bearing a person heavily bundled against the ravages
of the sand laden winds, make their way slowly across the Egyptian
desert. One of the riders points to a rock formation and the two
camel caravan moves toward the rocks. Among the rocky crags, a
rattlesnake bids the two new visitors an ominous hissing
welcome. The first figure, a man dressed in a long red cloak, dismounts his camel and moves ahead. The other person, dressed in a white cloak with a blue collar who has feminine features, stops to investigate a glimmer amidst the rocks. The man beckons the woman to join him. The woman is distracted by the man's gestures and mindlessly reaches down to pick up what appears to be a stone carved into the form of a cat's head with jewels mounted in its eyes. Suddenly the woman looks down and sees a swarm of red scorpions pouring forth from the rocks. She leaps backwards and scrambles to her feet to avoid the swarm of scorpions. The man finds a large figure, carved out of stone with a small metal handle in the center. The woman reaches down and moves the handle. The howling of the winds is joined by a grinding sound. The woman withdraws from the carving as the ground begins to quake. Suddenly the sand beneath their feet slips away and the two are swept down by the sands, along a long brick-walled tunnel. The tunnel drops the pair into a dark cave. When the two have recovered from their long fall, and the woman whips off her cloak, to reveal herself as none other than Lara Croft. It has been fifteen years since her adventure with Von Croy in Cambodia, and Lara has long since become an experienced adventurer which feels most at home in the depths of ancient tombs. Within this tomb, Ahmed1, the guide, leads the way. He steps forward and removes a torch from its receptacle on the wall. He produces a cigarette lighter from his shirt and attempts to light the torch. After a few attempts, he manages to light it.(follow plot) |

Shotgun
|
Begin by turning around, and running diagonally across the metal grate
to the left and pick up a box of flares (1). Turn around and return to the tunnel
opening, where Ahmed is waiting. Pick up the second box of flares
(2) that are to the left of the tunnel's
mouth. Continue into the tunnel and pick up the shotgun (3) that is to the left, just beyond where Ahmed
picked up his torch. Continue forward, past Ahmed and turn left and enter the next part of the tunnel. Turn right and run forward. Climb onto the sloping rock ledge on the left and run to the top of the slope. Pick up the box of regular shotgun shells (4), reverse roll, and run back down to the bottom of the slope. Drop off the bottom and turn around. Walk forward to the small pit. Run through the shallow pit, reverse roll, draw pistols, and kill the red scorpion (1) that will emerge from the pit. Walk forward and pick up the large Medi Pack (5) that is lying in the pit. In the meantime, notice that Ahmed is slowly lighting all the torches in this cave. Turn around and continue ahead. Lara will come to another shallow pit. Run diagonally to the left through the pit, stepping out of the lower corner ahead and to the right. Draw weapons and reverse roll to kill another red scorpion (2). Turn around and continue forward, past the spider webs, into the wider cave. A creature deeper within the cave has sensed the arrival of prey and rushes forward to attack. Lara will soon see that it is a wild dog (3). Draw pistols and kill it. To the left is a small pit. Run into it and take a jump out of it. Reverse roll, draw pistols and kill another red scorpion (4) that emerges into the pit. Now turn around to the right and run back up to the area covered by spider webs. Turn left and drop into a somewhat larger pit and run across it. Quickly vault out of the other side, draw pistols and turn around. Kill yet another red scorpion (5) that will emerge in this pit. Now turn around and proceed ahead. |
||
SECRET #1
|
Turn right when Lara comes to a small rock formation and alcove. Turn right again and vault up onto the lower ledge. Turn around or reverse roll, and take a standing jump into SECRET #1. Step forward and pick up a small Medi Pack (6). Reverse roll and run forward to drop out of this alcove. | ||
|
Continue forward to the top of the stone ramp and pick up a large Medi
Pack (7). Drop off the right side of the
ramp and turn left. Step forward toward the hazy dark corner that is
to the right of the small tunnel. Hidden within the haze, Lara will
find a small Medi Pack (8). Turn around
and walk out of the haze. Turn right and vault up to the higher ledge. Turn right once more and proceed down the long narrow tunnel. Draw pistols and approach Ahmed. The gate at the bottom of the tunnel that leads into this room will drop shut and a stone block will lower and reveal a hole in the wall. Two red scorpions (6, 7) will also creep into the room. Kill one that crawls over from ahead and to the left and then reverse roll to take out a second one sneaking up from behind. Now pick up the box of flares(9) that are in the dark alcove to the right of the exit gate. Reverse roll and head back to the tunnel Lara entered from. Pick up the box of flares (10) in the dark alcove to the right of this gate as well. Reverse roll and exit this dark alcove. |
|||
SECRET #2
|
Now enter the small tunnel to Lara's right. Run down the tunnel and take two left turns as it spirals down into a room below. Run forward and safety drop into the sand pit. Turn left and step into SECRET #2. Immediately reverse roll, draw pistols and kill two more red scorpions (8, 9). Turn around and pick up the box of regular shotgun shells (11) that are inside the alcove. Turn around and forward to the corner of the pit with the small stone step. Pick up the small Medi Pack (12), and turn left. Climb out of the pit and run diagonally to the left, back up the spiraling tunnel, taking two right turns until Lara returns to the upper room. Turn right to face Ahmed. | ||
| Turn Lara's attention to the three holes around the walls of the room. Run forward and turn right and reach into the hole on the right wall. Lara will extract a large Medi Pack (13). Turn around and run to the opposite side of the room. Reach inside this hole and Lara will activate a switch that will drain sand into this room below, filling the pit. Reverse roll and run diagonally to the right and enter the tunnel. Follow the tunnel as it spirals down, taking two left turns. Once Lara is in the lower room, run across the sand filled pit and pick up a small Medi Pack (14) from the pedestal on the right. | |||
Eye Piece #1
|
Turn left and pick up the Eye Piece (15) from the other pedestal. Doing so will cause sand to drop into the room above and open the exit gate. Now turn left and run diagonally to the left, back across the sand filled pit. Exit through the spiraling tunnel, turning twice to the right to return to the upper room. Turn right and follow Ahmed into the next room. | ||
SECRET #3
|
Run forward and either use the obsidian steps on the right or climb up
onto stone ledge in the middle of the room. Walk up to the rope, jump
up and grab it. Turn Lara so that she is facing the blue doorway.
Have Lara swing once and stop to allow her to wrap her legs around the
rope2. Then swing a second time, and
this time Lara will swing much higher than the first. When Lara is at
the highest point in her swing, do not release the rope but rather,
jump off the rope to land onto the ledge in front of the open doorway,
which is SECRET #3. Now step inside the trench and look up. Lara will see a rotating metal blade that is traveling in a large circle in the room above her. Do not run to the end of the trench, but turn right just as soon as Lara is inside the room with the circling blade. Grab and hold onto the edge of the trench, and when the blade moves past, quickly pull up and run forward. Lara will come to a point in the room, where the floor is too steep to stand. Take a standing jump over the slope onto a flat area. Run forward and climb up to the next ledge. Step forward and pick up the small Medi Pack (16). Turn left and watch the blade from the safety of this ledge, and this time do not hang from the ledge to wait for the blade. When the blade moves past, Lara must quickly climb up to the next ledge, turn left and take a running jump and grab to reach the hub in the center of the circular room. Lara is safe from the blades while she is on this central area. Pull up and step forward. Climb up to the top of the hub, walk forward and turn left. Step forward and pick up the box of flares (17). Turn right and walk forward, down the other side of the hub. Drop down to the ledge below and wait for the blade to pass. Draw pistols and take a standing jump down to the higher ledge below. Quickly step forward to avoid the approaching blade. |
||
Uzi
|
Step forward and kill a wild dog (10)
that will attack from the tunnels ahead. Lara will need to do some
fancy jumping to keep away from the dog, but avoid moving forward into
the tunnel. Keep Lara's pistols drawn and when the first dog is dead,
continue around the corner and two more wild dogs (11, 12) will attack. Open fire on them while
jumping around to escape their bites. When the dogs are dead, proceed down the tunnel, past the grating to the slope at the end of the tunnel. Sidestep to the left side of the slope and allow Lara to slide down to the bottom. She will drop off one slope, land on a second slope and slide backwards. There are two red scorpions (13, 14) in the pit on the right3. To kill them Lara will have to drop into the pit and fire her pistols while repeatedly reverse rolling. If Lara dropped into the pit, then climb out. Head to the other end of the ledge and pick up the Uzis (18). Turn left again and step forward. Lara will land on a slope, slide forward, and drop into a familiar passageway. Turn right and run forward. Follow the tunnel as it turns right once more. When Lara returns to the upper room, turn right and run forward, through the gate, and back into the room with the rope and the pedestal. |
||
Eye Piece #2
|
Run forward down one of the flights of stairs at either side of the room and walk through the passageway into the next room. Ahmed will be there, examining a trap ahead. Wait until he triggers a wave of blades, and then proceed to the top of the stairs and pick up a second Eye Piece (19). Turn around and run back down the steps and exit this room. Turn left and follow the trench until it reaches steps. Turn right and follow the steps back up to the pedestal room. Turn left at the top of the stairs and run forward to the receptacle on the wall. | ||
Eye of Horus
|
Combine the two eye pieces to form the Eye of Horus. Place the Eye of
Horus into the receptacle and the wall will open. Ahmed will charge
in ahead of Lara. Step forward and draw pistols. Kill a wild dog
(15) that will charge down out of the
passage on the left. After the dog is dead, keep pistols drawn and
step forward, a second wild dog (16) will
emerge from the tunnel. When the second dog is dead, run up the ramp
and into the tunnel. When Lara steps out of the tunnel she will find a large cavern ahead with a sphinx that is partially buried by sand. Turn right and drop into the trench. Pick up the set of Uzi clips (20), turn around and run back to the ledge. Climb up onto the ledge, and run forward. Drop down into the trench on the other side and pick up the small Medi Pack (21). Continue forward to the end of the trench and turn right. Vault up onto the steps and turn left. Run forward and turn left and enter the passage. Follow the steps down as they wind to the left and back to the right. Step forward into the next room. Ahmed will light the oily pool that runs the circumference of the room, which will cause the gate at the far end of the room to open. Follow Ahmed into the newly opened gate and down the stairs. The tunnel will wind to the left three times until it reaches an intersection. Ahmed will continue down the main tunnel, which leads to the right twice. At the end of that tunnel, Lara will find Ahmed waiting at a closed gate. Return to the intersecting tunnel, which is dark and slopes downward, and bends to the right and back to the left. Drop into the little pit and pick up a small Medi Pack (22). Climb out of the opposite side of the pit and turn left. Walk forward to find a large room with a large but shallow oily pool in the middle of the room. Ahmed will be waiting at the closed gate on the left. Drop into the room and turn right. Run forward along the circumference of the room, and turn left. Continue forward to the next passage and turn right to enter it. Follow the tunnel as it winds upward and turns to the right three times. Now Lara will be in a room above the previous room. Pull the rope to open the gate and let Ahmed enter the room with the large oily pool. Ahmed will enter the room and light the oily pool. The light from the flames will illuminate certain squares on the floor ahead. Now walk around the rope and step onto the first square, which has a shining symbol of a scarab. The object of this section is to get Lara across the room by jumping from lighted square to the next lighted square without touching the gray borders of the squares and without stepping onto any of the other squares. Each of the five torches on the opposite wall will light up to indicate Lara's progress. If she fails, then any lit torches will be extinguished to indicate she must reset the squares and start over. Go ahead and step onto one of the black squares, which will cause the first lit torch to go out. Now Lara must reset the puzzle, so exit this room through the doorway that Lara entered from and turn right. Slide down the slope and turn left. Run forward into the small room and turn left. Pick up the shotgun (23), which will count as a box of normal shotgun shells if Lara is already carrying the shotgun. Turn around and walk over to the chain. Face the chain so that Lara's back is facing the exit passage. Pull the chain ahead to reset the puzzle, and reverse roll. Quickly exit this room, turn left and sprint up the slope to return to the upper room before the gate at the top of the sloped tunnel closes. Walk forward, around the chain and step back onto the first square with the scarab. Angle Lara to the right and take a step backwards, being careful not to step onto the gray border. Carefully aim Lara at the center of the next square which has two symbols on it and take a standing jump to it. Flames will leap up through the previous square. Now angle Lara to the left and aim Lara at the center of the next lit square, which has the symbol of an eye. Take a standing jump to the square and turn left again. Aim Lara at the center of the next lit square, which also has the symbol of a scarab on it and take another standing jump to reach it. Finally turn Lara to the right and aim Lara at the final lit square, which has the symbol of an eye on it. Take a standing jump to it and if Lara successfully cross the room without touching any of the borders and without touching any unlit squares, the gate ahead will open. |

The Timeless Sands
|
Run forward and collect The Timeless Sands (24) and the gate ahead will open. Run forward around the pillar in the center of the next room and exit through the opening at the other side of the room. Lara will find herself at the base of the sphinx. Ahmed will enter through a passage on the left. Turn left and run forward to the cave wall. Turn right and run forward. | ||
SECRET #4
|
Before following Ahmed down the small passage to the left. Continue straight ahead and climb up onto the rock ledge in the corner of the cave. Walk forward and climb the ladder all the way to the top and pull up onto the ledge above. Ignore the lever ahead for now. Turn right and walk forward along the edge of this upper ledge until Lara can step onto the sphinx's yellow head piece. Turn right and aim Lara at the flat part of the sphinx's head piece. Take a standing jump onto the top of the sphinx's headpiece. Turn left and carefully walk across the sphinx's head piece until Lara reaches the opposite side. Angle Lara to the left and aim for the other side of the sphinx's head piece and take a standing jump to reach SECRET #4. Step forward and pick up a box of regular shotgun shells (25), and then turn right. Walk unto the dark corner and pick up a large Medi Pack (26). | ||
SECRET #5
|
Turn around and return to the sphinx's head piece. Angle Lara to the right and take a standing jump back to the top of the sphinx. Walk across the sphinx, back to the other side and angle Lara to the right. Take a standing jump back to the other side of the sphinx's head piece. Now run forward and throw the lever to open the gate below. Climb back down the ladder and when Lara reaches the bottom, turn right and enter SECRET #5, and pick up another box of regular shotgun shells (27). Step further into the tunnel and pick up a box of wideshot shotgun shells (28). Turn around and exit this alcove and turn left. Drop back down to the ground below. | ||
|
Follow Ahmed into the small tunnel, that bends to the left. When Lara
enters, she will find Ahmed reading an inscription. The gate ahead
will open and simultaneously he will suddenly run away in fear. Draw
pistols and enter the tunnel ahead, which turns left. Kill three red
scorpions (17, 18, 19) that will be
crawling up the tunnels. Continue forward until Lara reaches a large
room. Drop to the floor of the room and pick up a box of regular shotgun shells (29). Angle Lara to the right and head toward the corner of the raised area. Pick up the small Medi Pack (30) and angle Lara bacl to the left. Run forward to the wall opposite the tunnel Lara dropped in from and climb up onto the ledge. Place the Timeless Sands between the hands of the statue, and the sand from the room above will drain into this room from the cavern above. Turn around and draw pistols and kill a red scorpion (20) that will be crawling around on the ground below and to the left. Drop to the ground, run around the mound of sand, taking a jump over the steep part, and return to the other opening. Climb back up to the other passage. Run forward and turn right to return to the previous room. Run forward and vault up onto the steps and exit this room. Turn right and run forward, down the tunnel, to return to the sphinx. The sands that covered the lower half of the sphinx has now sifted away. Run forward up the sandy slope and angle Lara slightly to the right to reach the chin of the sphinx and turn left to face the sphinx. Jump up and grab the mouth of the sphinx and pull up into a crouched position. Crawl forward until Lara can stand. Turn right and run forward and slide down into the darkness. |
