The River Ganges
Items: 32
Kills: 34
The River Ganges an interesting level. There are two quite different paths that you can take in order to complete this level. We will provide hints for both.
Toll Plaza
The first part of this level very straightforward. Drive the quad bike around and don't fall into the river or one of the many pits. If you manage to drive it up the spiral jumps, you will come to a closed gate with no apparent way to open it. Well, this isn't some sort of toll plaza. The button that opens the gate is actually on the other side. You will need to find the route to get around to the other side in order to open the door. The path is near by. Explore the areas around the spiral jumps.
Road Less Traveled
Just after the gate, you will come to a fork in the road. Both routes will present interesting challenges and both will get you to the end of the level. If you're planning on collecting all the SECRETS, you need to choose left. If you choose to go left, there are no more hints for you because the rest of the level is very straightforward. The following hints are for those who choose to go right.
Dead End
Jump across the river and drop down into the hole. After hanging your next left, you will pretty much find that Lara is at a dead end. The gates to proceed are closed, and you must proceed to open the gates on foot, before returning to the bike.
Door Mat
Well, if you're going to hide a key for a gate, you might as well put it nearby, right? The first Gate Key can be found near the tunnel with all the little shrubs that is just before you hang the right to get to the large gates. There are two small caves there to explore. Head back down into the darker lower area to find a tunnel that will allow you to get to the adjacent tunnel with the torches that you can see from the main tunnel with the double gates.
Bread Crumbs
After proceeding through the tunnel with the torches, but before you climb up out of the holes, take note of the two ledges on either side of the tunnel just before the hole that leads up and out. It is vital that you find the importance of this location before you move on.
Out of Reach
Above the tunnels, you will find yourself in a courtyard. Now that you're on the other side of the gate, you need to find a way to get those gates open to take your bike out with you. You need to get up to the branches of the big tree. The tree's branches are out of reach from the stone walkway below. In order to get to the branches you must use the green stone ledge that is adjacent to the hole that you just climbed up through. To complicate matters, that stone ledge seems to be out of reach as well. Well, it's not. What you need is a little boost to get up to the ledge. There is a slope nearby that can provide that for you.
Double Doors
After you pick up the second gate key, you're not done yet. Don't leave the building until you've found the button that will open the second set of gates. Watch out for the fire breathing statues.
Going Mainstream
Now that you've got your keys, you do know where they go don't you? With both sets of gates open, then you're just a couple of bike jumps back to the main path to the end of this level.
