The Base
Items: 17
Kills: 10
The Base is not too large and not too complicated, but may be a little confusing. Here are tips to get you through.
The Claw
Wander around and soon you'll end at the warehouse, where you'll have to face "the claw". The operator in the control room will attempt to squash you with the claw, so as long as he's at the control room and you're in the warehouse, he will try to crush you. There are a few doorways and ledges under wich you can hide from the claw. In order to make progress, you will need to open a locked door. The key can be found in a cabinet against the far wall beneath the control room.
Swipe the Card
When you find the security room, you must take out two soldiers. One of which is carrying a swipe card that you will need to access the control room.
Take Control
Now that you have the swipe card, you need to make your way up to one of the balconies beside the control room. You can't get into the control room from that balcony, but you must make your way across the crates to the opposite balcony, where you can enter the control room. Lara will go into auto-pilot and take the control room for you. Although Lara will take care of showing you where you must go next. Don't leave without searching the cabinets.
Loading Docks
Follow the wide tracks down to the closed gate and you'll find two openings that lead to the left and right. The tunnnel that leads to the right ends at a locked door. The key can be found if you explore the tunnel to the left. Of course there will be a couple of Russian soldiers standing in your way. You'll get the opportunity use that swipe card again, and once again the key you need is being carried by a soldier.
Hit the Showers
Use the key you lift off of the soldier in the machine room to open the door at the end of the the other small tunnel. At the top end of the tunnel, Lara will be able to eavesdrop on a Russian admiral and a mafia bos. Then drop down to the ground and use the swipe card again to enter the locker rooms. Watch out for the guard dog. Search the lockers. Don't leave without a fuse and the Desert Eagle.
Crane Damage
The fuse goes in the machine in the room on the other side of the dock. Replacing the fuse will activate the the crane, but you have to direct it. It's not complicated. Just one big red button to push, which is quite nearby. From there, a little climbing and jumping will get you onto the submarine. You'll have to deal with a couple of snipers. Well, you will be able to deal with them if you managed to find the Desert Eagle and the LaserSight.
