Run down the tunnels until Lara reaches a cavern with a river ahead of
her. Be careful not to fall into the river or else Lara will be swept
downstream and over the waterfall. Instead go to the right, where the
cavern opens up to a large cave. Draw pistols and walk out onto the
first ledge. From here Lara can see two wolves near the pool at the
bottom of the waterfall. Kill the two wolves (1, 2) from here. Walk down to the floor of the cavern, and head toward an opening to the next cave that is directly opposite the waterfall. Ready pistols if they've been put them away, and jump over the slope into the next cave where another wolf (3) will attack Lara. Lara can kill it from here, but she can also back flip back into waterfall cave and pick off the wolf from safety. Continue forward through a zig-zag passage until Lara reaches a lighter colored rock face. To Lara's right is a passage to another cave. Lara can ready her pistols and slide in and kill a pack of three wolves (4, 5, 6) waiting for her there, or Lara can ignore them, as that is a dead end. The best strategy to deal with this pack of wolves is after sliding down to the floor of the cave, immediately hop back and back flip to land on the top of the slope. Lara can safely pick off the wolves from the top of the slope. After Lara kills the wolves, exit that dead end passage with a jump to the top of the slope. Step forward and turn right to find the tall light colored rock face and climb up the rocks until Lara finds a large Medi Pack (1) lying beside a to a skeleton. Slide down to the valley floor and draw pistols. Move forward into the valley slowly. A tell-tale thump-thump-thump indicates the presence of raptors. If Lara has not moved too far into the valley, Lara can draw her pistols and take out the two oncoming raptors (7, 8). Lara should be able to take out the first raptor, which attacks from the left, before encountering the second one that charges at her from the right. Lara can also turn tail, and climb up onto a ledge that she just dropped into the valley from, and shoot at the raptors from that safe vantage point. Continue deeper into the valley and notice the broken rope bridge above and the huge footprints on the ground. What happens next is sheer adrenaline. Ahead is the T-Rex. Again, Lara can choose to take it on by employing a combination of jumping around, reverse rolling and shooting while on the valley floor1, or she can follow one of two other techniques. The first is to run forward until the T-Rex (9) appears and begin to fire while hopping back and back flipping until Lara returns to the little nook that Lara first slid into the valley from. The T-Rex is too big to squeeze into that space, so just stand in the corner, while the big T-Rex continues to try to run towards Lara. Or instead, Lara can run forward past the first waterfall, and just before the broken bridge and duck into a passageway that is surrounded with vegetation. Lara may choose to try to shoot at the T-Rex from this tunnel. If she chooses to fight the T-Rex the relative safety of this tunnel, be aware that occasionally the T-Rex will stick its tail into the tunnel, which will inflict damage on Lara. Also be careful not to stand too close to the entrance of the tunnel as the T-Rex can reach inside and eat Lara. For the safest place to shoot the T-Rex, head straight into the passageway, running up the slope. Before Lara makes the first left turn in the passageway, ready pistols. There's a red raptor (10), that she can kill from a safe vantage point if she didn't charge forward into that part of the tunnel. Then walk up to the other end of this passageway which overlooks most of the valley. From this high vantage point, Lara can shoot at T-Rex safely as it runs around the valley floor, occasionally dangling her out off the ledge to lure him back if he runs away. Safety drop out of this passage and head forward past another waterfall, and toward a stone pillar in the middle of the valley. Head forward, running underneath the large stone arch formation, and draw pistols to take out two more raptors (11, 12) that rush out at Lara there. Now that the valley floor is clear of enemies, Lara can explore the valley safely. |

SECRET #1 |
First, return to the waterfall that actually falls into a pool. Just to the right of the waterfall is a small opening in the cliff wall that Lara can boost herself up into. Enter SECRET #1, and grab the shotgun shells (2), then drop back into the valley floor. | ||
SECRET #2 |
Then run around to the left side of that waterfall, and climb up the rock face. Lara will need to do a diagonal standing jump to a ledge just to the left of the waterfall, then face the wall and grab the crevice in front of her. Lara must shimmy over to the middle of the waterfall where the opening is tall enough to pull herself up. Pull up, move forward, and then turn right to vault up into SECRET #2 and grab the magnum clips (3) and shotgun shells (4). Return to the waterfall, and hang from the waterfall, and shimmy back to the left until Lara is just to the left of the waterfall where she can let go and slide safely to the valley floor. | ||
SECRET #3 |
Run back to the right of the stone pillar. About halfway between
the temple and the large stone arch is a rock face on the valley
wall that Lara can climb up on. Turn and face left and walk to the
edge of this little platform and do a standing jump and grab onto the
next rock face. Stand in the outside corner of the rock platform Lara
just pulled herself onto, and take one side step toward the center.
Face the rock that is slightly above her and to the left. Do a
standing jump onto that rock platform, then walk to
the front left corner of that platform. Do another standing jump and
grab to have Lara pull herself to the highest rock ledge. Walk to the front left corner of the ledge, then aim Lara at the temple roof. Take a hop back and do a running jump and land on the temple roof, which is SECRET #3. Get the large Medi Pack (5) and magnum clips (6) then head forward and get the Uzi clips (7) on the crest of the roof, and shotgun shells (8) on the other side. Continue walking until Lara reaches the other edge of the roof and side step until Lara is a step away from the back corner of the roof. Aim Lara at the back wall of the valley, where there is a slope that runs back to the valley floor. Take a standing jump toward the rock face, and slide safely back to the valley floor. |
||
Machine Cog #1 |
Enter the temple that is at the far end of the valley by running up the front steps. Jump into the pool and swim down and to the right until Lara reaches a tunnel at the bottom. Grab the first machine cog (9), and return to the surface and exit the temple. | ||
Machine Cog #2 |
Ahead and to the right is a tunnel high in the valley wall that
appears bright in contrast to the rock face. Climb up into the
tunnel, and follow it until Lara reaches the broken bridge. Vault up
onto the ledge just before the bridge and walk until she reaches the
very edge of the broken bridge. Hop back and do a running jump and
grab to get to the other side of the bridge. Cross to the other side,
and get the second machine cog (10), and
then return to the edge of the broken bridge and do a safety drop back
down to the valley floor. Turn to the left and head forward until Lara reaches a slightly elevated tunnel about halfway between the waterfall and the broken bridge. Boost Lara into the tunnel and head forward. As the tunnel opens up into a small room, head into to the right corner where Lara will find a drop down to the left. Draw pistols and kill the raptor (13) in the room ahead before dropping down. Lara may need to dangle herself briefly from that ledge before the raptor comes out. |
||
Machine Cog #3 |
Drop off the ledge and head forward down the tunnel until Lara reaches
another waterfall. Climb the rocks that are on the right of the
waterfall. At the top is the third machine cog (11). Safety drop back down, and drop right
into the water. Follow the underwater tunnel back until Lara can
surface back in the valley. Head back to the entrance to the valley, and climb back up to the skeleton at the crest of the valley entrance. Drop back down the other side, and head back toward the waterfall and pool where the first two wolves were. Climb back up to the beginning of this level using the rocks to the left of the pool. Climb all the way back up to the beginning of this level, and run past the tunnel that Lara entered this level from. Turn right and walk to the edge of the river being careful not to fall in. Lara will need to perform a series of jumps to cross the river. Be very careful because if Lara misses a single one, she's going for a swim, and she'll be swept over the waterfall, causing her to have to start the jumps all over again. Hop back and do a running jump across the river. Turn to the left, walk to the edge of the river, and do another running jump back across the river. Head up the slope and walk to the edge of the river. This time take one step back and then do a standing jump across to the ledge on the other side. Turn and face left and do another standing jump, then turn left and walk to the edge of the river and do another standing jump and grab to have Lara pull herself up to the last of these jumps. Follow the tunnel until Lara reaches a rope bridge with a bunch of cogs ahead of her. There are three pegs that indicate that three cogs are missing, so use the three Lara found to repair the machine, then throw the switch on the left to activate the machine. The machine moves a gold sluice gate which redirects the flow of the river from the waterfall to a previously dry tunnel. |
||
SECRET #4
|
Turn left and walk back to the bridge, but instead of crossing, drop and hang off of the platform to the right of the bridge, and shimmy left until Lara can drop down onto some rocks. Head forward into SECRET #4 and grab the large Medi Pack (12). | ||
Shotgun
|
Jump into the river and swim forward until Lara reaches the gold dam, and turn left. Immediately surface and have Lara pull herself out of the water on the right. Grab the shotgun (13) that is there. | ||
SECRET #5
|
Jump back into the water. Continue to swim down the tunnel2. It's a long tunnel so don't waste any time. Exit the water and get Lara to pull herself up into SECRET #5. Scattered around the room are shotgun shells (14), a small Medi Pack (15), and more shotgun shells (16). After grabbing everything, head through the doorway, and perform a safety drop back down into the dry river bed. | ||
| Follow the dry river bed, that is beyond the gold dam, until Lara reaches a slope where the waterfall once poured over. Jump over the slope and fall a long way down into the pool below. Exit the pool by having Lara pull herself up into a tunnel that was formerly hidden behind the waterfall. Head forward and turn right to go through a stone door that opens automatically for Lara to exit this level. | |||
