Follow the tunnel until Lara reaches a large square room with large
twin stone idols along each wall. Head straight ahead up the ramp
that is directly opposite the entrance that Lara came in. Lara should
be able to see an altar in the room beyond. As soon as the boulder
drops down, reverse and run back down the ramp and either side jump or
just run to one side to avoid the boulder. After the boulder has
passed, Lara can run all the way back up the ramp in safety. Note
that when the boulder crashed down, a gate also lowered which prevents
Lara from proceeding into the next room. Walk Lara to the top of the
ramp and stand in front of the gate. Lara will be able to obtain a
good look at the object of her expedition to Peru. Run back down the ramp. Notice the passageway to the right. It is blocked by three gates, each of which is marked with a emblem. Lara must now figure out how to open the gates. Facing the tunnel Lara came in from, walk over to the lever which is to the left. Now would be a good place to use that shotgun Lara should have picked up on the last level. Ready it1. Throw the lever and immediately draw the shotgun, press reverse and the look. Two raptors (1, 2) should run out from the door that the lever just opened. One shotgun blast per raptor should take care of them. |

Gate #1 |
Now enter the door that the raptors just emerged from on Lara's right.
Lara will end up in a room with three doors with symbols over them.
Head into the passage to the right with the red face over it. On the
wall to the left Lara will see a brown block. Push it twice. It will
reveal a second block. Push it once to reveal another
passage. Run across the broken floor which falls to reveal a pit of spikes. Throw the switch at the end of the passage to open one of the three gates. Walk back to the edge of the spiked pit and do a standing jump and Lara should land safely on the other side. Return to the room with the three symbols. |
||
Gate #2 |
This time enter the passage with the sun over it to Lara's right.
There is a switch against the far wall. It's a trap. If Lara stands
on the broken floor to throw it, Lara will fall into a pit of wolves
taking damage from the fall. Instead, stand just in front of it, step
onto the broken floor and then step off allowing it to fall. Turn
around and face away from the pit, and step back into the pit and grab
the edge of the pit. While hanging, draw the weapon of choice2. A shotgun again will be the most effective
here but Lara. Release and fall into the pit and take out the three
wolves (3, 4, 5) taking minimal
damage. Go up one ramp, and pull the brown block out and then take a standing jump to one side of the block and push the block to reveal a passage. Climb up the stairs and drop into a small pit and pick up a small Medi Pack (1). Continue climbing up the tall step until Lara gets to a switch. Throw the switch to open the sun gate and grab the small Medi Pack (2), then do a safety drop down the hole across from the switch. Turn around and reenter the room with the three symbols. |
||
Gate #3 |
This time enter the passage with the bird over it on Lara's right.
Enter a room with a switch. Ignore switch for now and drop down to
the floor of the next room with the two bird blocks and the spikes in
one corner. Enter the passageway on Lara's left and climb up a series
of stairs until Lara reemerges in the main room standing on top of one
of the bird blocks. Walk to the right edge of the bird block and do a standing jump and grab to get Lara to pull herself up into the next passage. Continue climbing and pulling up and continue down the passage until Lara reaches a hole. Do a safety drop into the hole then another onto a beam. To the right Lara should be able to see the main room. Do a safety drop until Lara's back in the main room standing on the other bird block. Walk to the right edge of the bird block and do another standing jump and grab to have Lara pull herself into the passage. Throw the switch at the end of the passage, which moves the first bird block towards the middle of the room. Return to the main room and do a safety drop onto the floor of the main room. Return to the opening that Lara initially dropped into this room from, which is indicated by a small ramp. Climb up into that room and throw the switch Lara ignored earlier. Pulling it will move the second bird block towards the middle of the room. Enter the passageway to the right of the switch that opened while Lara was running around earlier and climb up back to the beam Lara was standing on earlier and do a safety drop down the other side. Walk to the edge and face the bird block that has moved away from this entrance and jump back to give Lara room. Do a running jump onto the first bird block and walk to the front left corner of the bird block to aim Lara toward the next bird block. Again take a hop back and do a running jump onto the second bird block. Walk to the front right corner of this bird block and aim Lara into the passageway to the right. Hop back and do a running jump into the passage and throw the switch, opening the third gate. Return to the opening to the main room and walk to the very right edge and take a standing jump forward to clear the spikes below and return to the entrance with the ramp. Jump and grab the edge of the doorway, and while hanging, ready a weapon, again preferably the shotgun if Lara has enough shells, and get Lara to pull herself up. Step forward and immediately take out the last raptor (6). If Lara was not using the shotgun, feel free to drop back into the main room to avoid injury from the raptor and Lara can either jump up and fire at it at the tops of her jumps if it is still in that room, or repeat the pull-up-and-shoot method described earlier until it's dead. Return to the room with symbols above the passages. Return to the big atrium at the beginning of this level through the passage with the yellow face above it to Lara's right. Run directly through the atrium across to the passage that had the three gates blocking it. The passage opens to a hallway lined with idols and blow pipes that fire darts. Run and press jump and safely cross the hallway. |
||
SECRET #1 |
Stop when Lara is past the first step of the stairs. Turn around and
walk toward the right wall3 where there
is a dart tube protruding from the wall. Walk up to the dart tube and
it will begin to fire, being careful not to stand in the path of the
dart and face the wall the dart tube is sticking out of. Pull Lara up and walk to one side of the idol to SECRET #1. Run across the broken floor tiles to the far left corner of the secret room and grab the shotgun shells (3). If Lara did not pick up the shotgun yet, she will receive it here. Drop and grab the ledge that Lara is standing on and carefully maneuver Lara so that she is not dangling above a spike by watching where her shadow is. |
||
SECRET #2 |
Release the ledge and drop down to SECRET #2 and grab the magnum clips (4), then walk back to the entrance of this room. Side step so that Lara is not near any spikes and have her pull up out of the pit of spikes. Drop down to the left of the idol. | ||
Scion #1 |
Draw the pistols and enter the throne room. With the piece of the
scion in it. Lara will instinctively aim at the mummified guardian
(7) to the left of Qualopec. If Lara
approaches the mummy, it will collapse on top of her4. Go with her instincts and fire at the mummy
until it falls, then grab the scion (5),
to cause part of the room to cave in5. Exit the throne room through the gate, which will open automatically. Head down the ramp and stay to the left of the tunnel. When Lara returns to main atrium, immediately veer to the left to avoid more falling debris as more of the roof caves in. Exit the atrium through the passage Lara entered from with the boulder now lodged in it. Squeeze by the boulder and return to the pool. |
||
SECRET #3 |
Dive into the pool, and immediately swim down and to the right and enter a small opening that was not previously there about two thirds of the way down on the right wall of the pool. Don't waste any time in the pool because Larson will be firing at Lara. Swim into the passage and surface in a small cavern to get SECRET #3, magnum clips (6) and a large Medi Pack (7). Dive back and swim through the passage and immediately to the left and exit the pool back at the entrance to this level, not on the shore where Larson(8) is running around. | ||
Larson |
From the little passageway ready pistols and pick Larson off at Lara's
leisure. For some reason he doesn't shoot at Lara when she's
standing all the way across the pool. After he's down enjoy a cut
scene. However, for the compulsive ones who want all the items on this level, do not swim back to the passageway, but instead, surface near where Larson is running around. Exit the water quickly and run forward and take a jump into the tunnel that once lead to the Lost Valley. Run to the end of the tunnel and climb up towards the entrance to the Valley. The entrance is now sealed off by rock, but Lara will find a large Medi Pack6 (8) at the top of the climb. Climb back down and return to the mouth of the tunnel and take Larson out from inside the passageway. |
