Run forward and follow the hallway, which will turn to the left. Run
forward into the foyer ahead, but do not proceed into the gray hallway
ahead, which has a sign indicating restrooms and a warning sign
mounted on the ceiling just in front of it. Zip chimes in over the headset, "Okay, you've been a bad girl, and before I tell you what your punishment is, I just want to say that there's no point in arguing cuz I ain't gonna be listnin'. Take all your metal items -- yes guns is metal -- and put 'em in the tray. Now!" Lara asks skeptically, "So you're telling me to disarm myself in a building crawling with armed guards?" "Now if I was listening, which I ain't like I told ya before, I would counteract this argument by alerting the person asking me this to the fact her guns ain't against ten foot tall walking tanks anyway! But I ain't listening, so I ain't sayin nuthin'." "I'm doing it," Lara concedes. "But if you mess this up..." "Alright, I'm listening again," Zip interrupts cheerfully. "And trust me, I ain't going to mess this up, okay?" "Do I have a choice?" Lara asks. "Nope," Zip answers.(follow plot) If Lara proceeds into the hallway ahead, alarms will sound and mounted machine gun turrets will activate. Instead, follow Zip's advice and have Lara place her gun on the glass tray to the left of the gray hallway. Lara questions Zip's judgment briefly, by peering down the hallway, before giving in and placing her weapon on the glass tray. Proceed into the hallway ahead. As Lara runs through the hallway, scanners will scan her for articles, but reveal that she is clean. Run past the first box, which contains a bomb and angle Lara to the left. Stop in front of the second box and open it to pick up a small Medi Pack (1). Step around the box and proceed through the security hallway into the waiting room ahead. Run through the waiting room toward the intersecting hallway ahead. Zip chimes in on the headset again, "I don't like to be the bearer of bad tidings, but the stairs are out, unless you're bullet-proof. You ain't bullet-proof, are ya?" "What about the lifts?" Lara asks. "Well, the lifts is going down, and normally, when trying to escape somewhere, ain't it clever to head in the direction of the exit? Like the roof?" "Right," Lara concedes again. "That would be clever. Like making me ditch my guns?" She quips. "Ouch!" Zip replies. "Yeah, maybe you'd better start looking for some weapons. Hey, don't sweat it girl, the man will save you." "Hasn't happened yet," Lara replies under her breath.(follow plot) Run forward into the hallway ahead and turn right. Step forward and pick up a pair of HK gun clips (2). Do not proceed forward toward the elevators ahead because the hum that Lara is hearing is bank of lasers that is protecting the hallway ahead. The lasers will activate as soon as Lara passes through them. Reverse roll and run down the hall in the opposite direction. Turn right when Lara reaches the gray security monitor and activate it to get a glimpse of an enemy somewhere outside the building. Side step to the left and proceed down this hallway until Lara reaches another intersection of hallways. The door to the right is locked, so proceed forward into the executive office ahead. The doors will open automatically as Lara approaches them. Immediately turn right and search the liquor cabinet. Lara will find a bottle of chloroform (3). The cabinet of drawers behind Lara holds nothing of interest. Reverse roll, step forward and turn left to exit this office. Step forward and turn right. Proceed down the hallway toward the offices ahead. Lara will hear a guard just around the corner ahead. Step forward and turn right. Enter this office and take a hairpin turn to the right. Search the drawers to find a cloth (4). Side step to the right and step out of the office into the hallway. Pour the bottle of chloroform onto the cloth. Turn right and walk forward to the end of this hallway and turn left. Walk up behind the VCI guard (1) and use the cloth soaked in chloroform on the guard. Lara kicks the guard in the back of the knees, causing him to drop down. Quickly Lara holds the cloth soaked in chloroform over the guards face and he quickly passes out. Reverse roll, angle Lara to the right, and run into the office at the corner of the hallway. Again the door will open automatically when Lara approaches it. Angle Lara to the left and head for the cabinet of drawers in the far left corner. Search it to find a small Medi Pack (5). Reverse roll, and exit this office. Angle Lara to the right and run down the glass-enclosed hallway. Lara can ignore the first glass enclose office on the left because there is nothing of interest to be found in the liquor cabinet in that office. Proceed down the next section of the glass-enclosed hallway and turn left at the door to the second office down this hallway. The door will open automatically as Lara approaches it. Enter the office and turn left. Run to the liquor cabinet and search it to find another bottle of chloroform (6). Reverse roll, run forward, and turn right to exit this office. Turn left and proceed down the glass-enclosed hallway. The door will automatically close when Lara exits that office. |
|||
Restroom Access Card
|
Turn left at the next doorway, step into the office, and turn left.
Run to the cabinet of drawers and search it to find the Restroom
Access Card (7). Reverse roll, run
forward and turn right to exit the office. The door will open and
close automatically when Lara enters and leaves respectively. Turn right and run all the way back down the glass-enclosed hallway. Turn right at the intersecting hallway. Run all the way down this hallway until Lara comes to the restroom. Examine the restroom access card and notice that the code printed on it is 8526. Turn left and use the keypad in front of the restroom door. Select the numbers 8, 5, 2, 6 and the asterisk1 on the keypad and the door will open. Turn right and enter the restrooms. Turn left and enter the women's' restroom. Run forward to the second stall and turn right. Kick open the door and step into the stall to find a large Medi Pack (8). The other two stalls are unoccupied and do not have any items of interest. Hop back and turn right. Run forward to exit the women's' restroom. Turn left and run forward to enter the men's' restroom. Enter the restroom and turn left. Turn right when Lara reaches the first stall. The other two stalls are unoccupied and hold nothing of interest. Kick open the door, but do not step into the stall. Jump straight up and grab the loose ceiling tile. Enter the stall, turn right and walk up to the wall of the restroom stall. Jump up and pull up into the ventilation duct. Turn left and crawl forward until Lara can stand. Walk forward to the end of the duct where it meets a vertical shaft. Turn Lara around and hop backwards and grab onto the edge of the duct. Release and immediately grab the crevice below. Release from the crevice and allow Lara to safety drop to the floor of the shaft. This way Lara will only take a tiny bit of damage when she hits the bottom of the shaft. Turn left and run forward, underneath the spinning red light. Crouch down and crawl into the crawlspace ahead. Turn Lara to the right and maneuver her around until she is in the middle of the mouth of the crawlspace. Have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace such that she is centered in the opening, and allow her to gain a foothold on the wall of the elevator shaft. Leap off of the wall, twist in midair, and grab onto the chain2. |
||
SECRET #1
|
Once Lara grabs onto the chain, allow her to slide all the way to the
bottom before releasing from it. Turn around and side step to the
right. Take a standing jump into the alcove ahead and pick up the
gold rose (9), which is SECRET #13. Turn around and walk forward and take a standing jump back up onto the platform at the base of the chain. Step forward and grab onto the chain. |
||
|
Climb almost all the way up the chain until Lara is above a small
metal platform. Take a back flip off the chain to land on the small
ledge. Turn right and locate a thin horizontal metal bar
ahead. Take a running jump and grab onto the horizontal bar. Allow Lara to swing around and release it to land in the alcove ahead. Reverse roll and walk forward to the edge of the alcove. Side step to the left wall. Angle Lara to the right and take a standing jump4 out of the alcove onto the top of the elevator car. Either turn right and jump across to the adjacent elevator or run across to it using the gray metal block. At the far left corner of the other elevator, Lara will find another pair of HK gun clips (10). Turn around and run to the gray metal block between the elevators. Stand on top of the gray block at the edge of the first elevator. Flip open a trapdoor that is on top of the first elevator and drop into it. Take a hairpin turn to the right and press the button and wait a moment for the elevator doors to open. Turn right and walk out of the elevator and notice a VCI guard5 (2) outside on the right, facing down the hall. Don't run, but walk out of the elevator and take a hairpin turn to the left. Push the button between the two elevators, and the doors to the other elevator will open. Turn right and walk forward. Angle Lara to the left and enter the elevator. Approach the panel on the wall and press it. The elevator doors will close. Lara will ride the elevator up to a higher floor. When the doors open, Lara will find two VCI guards (3, 4) and a VCI cyber-trooper (5). At the end of the hallway ahead are two large Medi Packs (11, 12). Lara can try to obtain them but the cyber-trooper will do lots of damage, and Lara will likely use up more Medi Packs than she picks up. Instead, quickly turn left, run forward, and press the elevator buttons to close the elevator doors again6. The elevator doors close, but all the shooting from the cyber-trooper and the guards cause the elevator cables to break. The elevator will snap free and fall. Quickly run forward and press the buttons to activate the emergency brakes, otherwise Lara will fall to her death. The emergency brakes activate, but not soon enough to prevent the elevator from hitting the bottom of the shaft quite hard. After the elevator comes to stop, Zip calls anxiously to Lara over the headset, "Lara are you there? Lara! Lara! You broke? You ain't dead, is ya? C'mon girl, answer me!" Lara, who is lying on the floor of the elevator, climbs to her feet and moans. "Gonna be sore in the morning." She answers weakly. Zip lets out a sigh of relief. "I knew you was too tough for a fall like that," Zip tells her happily. "Uh, I'm on the ground floor, aren't I?" Lara asks dejectedly and coughs. "Bing! Ground floor. Depart here for gun-toting refrigerator men and long walk back upstairs," Zip answers sarcastically. He chuckles. "Sorry girl, you got it, but hell, you in one piece, ain't ya?" Lara coughs a few more times. "Never felt better," She answers.(follow plot) Run forward and turn left. Climb up the wall of the elevator and pull up through the hole in the ceiling of the elevator car. Pull up out onto the ledge outside and reverse roll. Take a standing jump over the opening in the roof of the elevator car, and walk forward to the edge of the elevator car. Take a standing jump and grab onto the horizontal bar ahead. Allow Lara to flip around the bar and release the horizontal bar and grab onto the higher ledge ahead on the far wall. Turn right and run forward to the back wall of the elevator shaft. Grab onto the scalable wall and climb up. Notice the horizontal girders to the right of Lara. Climb up until Lara's feet are above the second set of horizontal girders and take a back flip off the wall to land on a small metal ledge opposite the scalable wall. Turn around and walk forward to the other end of the metal platform. Turn left and take a running jump and grab onto the horizontal bar. Release from the horizontal bar and allow Lara to land on the metal ledge on the opposite side of the elevator shaft. Turn left, walk forward to the other side of this metal platform and turn right. Walk forward to the wall of the elevator shaft and jump up to grab a crawlspace in the wall. Pull up into the crawlspace and crawl forward until Lara can stand. Ahead, the ventilation duct slopes steeply down from right to left. Angle Lara to the left so that she steps onto the duct, she will slide facing forward. Run forward to drop onto the sloping duct. Allow Lara to slide down and it will dump her onto another duct that slopes downward and to the left. As soon as Lara lands on the perpendicular slope, leap off of it and grab onto a horizontal bar to prevent her from sliding into the furnace ahead. Release from the horizontal bar and grab the next higher horizontal bar. Allow Lara to flip around this horizontal bar until the flames ahead extinguish. Release to land on the metal ledge ahead and take a hop backwards to avoid being burned by the flames when next they light. Turn left and walk forward to the edge of this metal platform. Angle Lara to the left, take a running jump and grab onto the bottom of the alcove ahead. Climb up into the alcove. Walk forward and Lara will be facing the elevator shaft once more. Tightrope walk across the horizontal bar to the alcove on the other side of the elevator shaft. Pick up the bottle of chloroform (13) and step forward. Step onto the sloping duct ahead and allow Lara to slide forward. Lara will land on another sloping duct the angles down and to the right. This duct will in turn dump Lara onto a shorter duct that also slopes down and to the right and drop her into a small shaft. Step forward and crouch down. Outside, a VCI guard (6) will be patrolling the hallway. Wait patiently for the guard to walk from right to left7. After he has passed Lara's hiding place, crawl out, turn right and run down the hall toward the large aquarium at the far end of this hall. |
|||
SECRET #2
|
Allow the guard to shoot out the aquarium. Quickly enter the aquarium, run to the back right corner where there is still a puddle of water and grab the gold rose (14), which is SECRET #2. Quickly reverse roll and exit the broken aquarium. | ||
|
Turn in either direction and run up the circular stairs up to another
atrium. The guard will not follow after Lara when she is out of his
line of sight. Run forward to the bottom of the ramp that leads to
the upper level of this atrium. When Lara reaches the top of the ramp, she will become the target of a sniper. Run up the ramp. Quickly turn and run along the perimeter of the room, avoiding the large doorway that is protected by a bank of lasers. When Lara reaches the opposite side of the atrium, she will come to a set of double doors opposite the doors protected by the bank of lasers. Run to the ladder that is to the left of the doors and climb up the ladder to the ledge above. Shift to the right until Lara can release and drop onto the ledge. Turn right and run along the ledge, keeping Lara pressed against the glass perimeter of the atrium. Turn left when Lara reaches the button on the wall above the doors protected by the bank of lasers. Press the button to deactivate the lasers. |
|||
SECRET #3
|
Side flip to the right twice until Lara is past the fire extinguisher.
Side flip back and forth over the fire extinguisher, and eventually
the sniper will hit the fire extinguisher, which will blow apart the
wall that it's mounted on. Run into the tunnel revealed by the demolition of the wall, and collect a gold rose (15), which is SECRET #3. Reverse roll and run back out onto the ledge. |
||
|
Drop off the ledge and quickly run through the newly opened door. As
Lara runs down the hall, a VCI guard (7)
will appear from a room on the left. The lower part floor of the
large room ahead is electrified; so take a jump over the lower part of
the floor to land on the ledge in front of the aquarium. The guard
will blast the glass of the aquarium and the resulting flood will
short out the floor. Turn right and run forward and press the button on the wall to open the double doors to the right. Quickly turn right and run forward, and turn left to enter the double doors. Run forward, turning left and enter the lounge ahead. Steel security doors will slam shut behind Lara after she enters8. After Lara enters the room, two security cameras will activate and scan the room. Zip calls over the headset, "You're doin' good, girl, but just you hold there a minute. I'm checking for somethin'." Lara can see the warm glow of welding torches slowly burning through the steel doors. "Zip, they're coming through the door with welding torches," Lara tells him, anxiously. "Yeah, yeah, just. . ." Zip interrupts himself, "Gotcha! Top corners of the room. Motion trackers. Fast movement triggers 'em. So take it easy. Well? What are ya waiting for?"(follow plot) Do not run, but rather walk forward. Angle Lara to the left and press the first button. Turn right and walk across to the other side of the short dark hallway and turn left. Press the other button to open the door to the left. Angle Lara to the left and walk forward. Lara can start running as soon as she steps through the doors. A VCI cyber-trooper (8) will burst through the steel door into the lounge as soon as they finish cutting through it. Run down the hall and turn right to enter the next room. The cyber-trooper will not follow Lara into this room. Turn left, step past the barrier, and turn right. Run forward to the strange device and turn left. Enter the adjacent brightly lit room, where there are seven cases. Six of them contain bombs, so Lara must open the correct one. As soon as Lara steps into the room, jump up and grab onto the broken suspended ceiling tile to reveal a crawlspace above. Turn left, step forward, and jump up to grab the bottom of the crawlspace. Pull up into the crawlspace and crawl forward. When Lara reaches the end of the crawlspace, turn left and have Lara crawl backwards to lower herself out of the crawlspace into a small room. Reverse roll, and run forward to the large gray box ahead with all the wires leading to it. Press the button to activate the X-ray machine. Turn right and walk forward to the glass, which now displays the contents of the seven metal cases in the room below. Notice that six of the cases contain bombs, and the seventh contains a small object. Run forward to the back wall of this room and turn left. Pull up into the crawlspace and turn left once more. Crawl forward to the end of the crawlspace and turn around and have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace. |

Teleporter Disc
|
Turn right and run forward into the middle of the room. Run past the
case with the bomb and turn right when Lara reaches the case with the
small object. Open the case and take the Teleporter Disc (16) from the case. Turn right and run to the hallway that exits this room. Crouch down and crawl underneath the ceiling tile that Lara pulled down earlier, and stand after she exits the room. Run forward into the teleporter room and turn right. Run toward the entrance of the teleporter room, and turn left. Run behind the glass barrier to the computer terminal and place the teleporter disc into the computer terminal. Reverse roll, run forward and turn right. Run up the circular steps to the middle of the teleporter, where there is a brightly lit 'X' marked out on the floor of the teleporter. Turn right and place the Iris artifact into the receptacle. Bolts of energy will strike the receptacle that holds the Iris. The energy will engulf Lara and suddenly she will be teleported to another room. Reverse roll, and run forward. Angle Lara to the right and run down the steps off of the teleporter pad. Run forward and drop into the hole in the floor ahead. Turn left and run forward to the other end of this tunnel. Pull up to the ventilation duct above and run forward to the ventilation grate. Zip will call over the headset with more instructions, "Now, you wanna get yo self in a position where you can see the keypad, cuz once every three or four cycles, mister mobile refrigerator there is gonna type in the code." "You don't say", Lara replies. "You got it baby! I is just full of vital information," Zip chimes back. "You're full of something," Lara answers. Zip gets defensive, "Without me, lady, you'd be just some has-been hanging by your cuticles over a spike pit in some arm pit back water country..." "Sounds preferable," Lara interrupts.(follow plot) Turn left and stand in front of the ventilation grate. Use the headset to zoom in on the keypad and wait until the guard arrives. Watch the security guard outside walk up to the keypad and press the numbers 1, 6, 7, 2 and the asterisk. The door to the left of the keypad slides open and the guard walks in. Turn right and proceed to the end of this ventilation duct. Drop down the shaft and turn left. Crouch down and watch for the VCI guard (9) patrolling around outside. Wait for him to arrive through the door on the left, patrol the area, return to the keypad, enter the code and exit through the security door. Crawl out of the crawlspace, turn left and run down the hall. Turn left and grab the bottle of chloroform (17), reverse roll and run back to the crawlspace. Turn right, crouch down and crawl back inside. Combine the cloth with a bottle of chloroform and wait until the guard reemerges from the doorway to patrol the room. Crawl out as soon as he turns away. Wait for him to enter the code and exit through the door. Wait for the door to close and immediately enter in the code 1, 6, 7, 2 and the asterisk. Quickly turn left, run forward, turn right and enter through the doorway. Run a few steps up the ramp, but stop running and walk the rest of the way up the ramp. Use the chloroform soaked cloth on the guard to defeat him. Lara kicks the guard on the back of his knees, causing him to drop to his knees, while simultaneously holding the chloroform soaked cloth over his face. He quickly fades and Lara scans around to see if there are any other dangers nearby. Turn right, run forward and turn left before she steps onto the ramps that lead down. Run forward to the bundle of metal cylinders and pull up onto the bundle. Run forward to drop to the ground and pick up a large Medi Pack (18). Reverse roll, run forward and pull up onto the bundle of metal cylinders again. Run forward to drop to the floor beyond. Turn right and renter the security checkpoint. Turn right and run forward to the button on the wall. Press it to deactivate the X-ray scanners outside this checkpoint. Turn right and run to other side of the security checkpoint. Crouch down and crawl into the crawlspace that is bathed in reddish light. When Lara reaches the shaft, stand and turn right. Climb up the ladder and run forward. The ceiling tile ahead will drop open. Turn around and have Lara lower herself out of the ventilation duct. Reverse roll, run across the foyer and pick up the HK Gun (19) from the tray. Side step to the right and run forward through the security checkpoint, which is now unmanned and deactivated. Proceed through the waiting room ahead into the intersecting hallway. The bank of lasers on the right is still active, so turn left and draw the HK gun in sniper mode. Run forward toward the security monitor ahead. Turn right and locate a doorway set a little bit back from the hallway just to the right of the security monitor. Take aim on the fire extinguisher mounted on the wall beside the doorway and shoot it to blow open the doorway to the fire escape outside. Run out onto the fire escape. Elsewhere in the building, a VCI guard approaches a large security door and presses an intercom button. After the intercom is activated the soldier reports, "Permission to enter, Sir! I have important news on the situation regarding the intruder." The large doors slide open and the guard steps through. Inside the spacious office, two men with very similar facial characteristics are behind a large mahogany desk. One is standing and dressed in a brown suit, while a younger man is seated in an electric wheelchair with a plaid blanket over his legs beside the first man. The younger man appears to be recovering from severe injuries. A large fire is cracking in a fireplace behind the two men. The man in the wheelchair rolls forward but the older man asks, "And?" The guard enters, salutes, and reports, "It, uh, it seems that she's managed to evade my men and remove the Iris, Sir." The guard's voice echoes in the cavernous office. "Incompetence!" The man in the wheelchair accuses. "Where is this intruder now or have you mislaid her once more?" His voice has a distinct German accent. "Last visual contact in the lobby, Sir!" The guard answers. "Last visual contact?" The man in the wheelchair asks, incredulously. "So you have lost her again. Find her! Find her now!" A large display screen descends from the ceiling and unfolds before the two men behind the desk. "All exits are blocked. There is no need for these histrionics. Do we have identification yet?" Asks the older man in the brown suit. His accent is also distinctly German as well. "Only visual, Sir!" The guard answers. A view of Lara running through the lobby displayed on endless repeat on the large display screen. They watch the figure repeatedly run past the camera's view and disappear behind a corner. The man the wheelchair recognizes her and speaks, "No need. I know who the intruder is. Lara Croft." "Ah, your past once more comes back to haunt you, Werner, foolish boy." The older man in the brown suit chides. "No matter, she will not escape. Place the building under full alert."(follow plot) |
