	Valley of the Kings	Items: 16		Kills: 12
		When Lara arrives in the Valley of the Kings, she will be facing west. Immediately draw weapons, preferably the shotgun loaded with regular shells and step forward off the rock ledge. Run forward and Egyptian mercenaries will begin to emerge from various hiding places. It takes two shotgun blasts to take down each Egyptian mercenary. Run forward and the first Egyptian mercenary (1) will emerge from behind the rock ahead and to the right. Kill him while he's still climbing over the rock. Continue forward and angle to the right, toward the northwest corner of the clearing, and kill two more Egyptian mercenaries (2, 3) that will emerge from a cave in the far back corner. Quickly reverse roll and kill another Egyptian mercenary (4) that will have arrived from elsewhere. Now charge diagonally to the right, toward the southeast corner of the clearing and kill two more Egyptian mercenaries (5, 6) that will emerge from the cave in the southeast corner of the clearing.
	Ignition Key	Finally, reverse roll and turn right and head toward the northeast corner of the clearing, and kill the final Egyptian mercenary (7). When he falls and drops a set of keys, Ahmed will amble across the clearing and climb into the green Land Rover¹. Pick up the Ignition Key (1) that the last Egyptian mercenary dropped.
	SECRET #1	Vault up onto rock ledge in the northeast corner of the clearing and turn right. Walk backward until Lara is standing on the corner of the ledge. Angle Lara to the right and take a standing jump and grab to reach the slanted rock ledge above and to the right. Pull up and run forward and pull up onto the flat ledge above the exit from the tombs, which is SECRET #1. Angle Lara to the right and run forward. Pick up two boxes of regular shotgun shells (2, 3), a small Medi Pack (4), and a pair of Uzi clips (5). Lara can climb up onto the small ledge in the southeast corner of this ledge for a magnificent view of the clearing. When Lara has collected everything, drop back down to the block that Lara climbed up from, and then safety drop to the ground.
		Run to the low rock to the right of the tomb exit and pick up the Uzi clips (6) that are behind the rock. Now run to the northwest corner of the clearing and pick up another pair of Uzi clips (7), a small Medi Pack (8), and a large Medi Pack (9) that the Egyptian mercenaries dropped. Turn around and run to the southwest corner of the clearing and pick up Uzi clips (10) and a small Medi Pack (11).
	SECRET #2	Climb into the tunnel in the southeast corner of the clearing. Run into the tunnel and when Lara reaches the end of the tunnel, climb up into the dark tunnel, which is SECRET #2. Run forward and pick up two boxes of regular shotgun shells (12, 13) and a shotgun (14), which will count as regular shotgun shells if Lara is already carrying the shotgun. Lara will have to pick up the items individually. Reverse roll and run out the dark tunnel, dropping to the lower tunnel, and then back down to the ground.
		Use the ignition key to get into the jeep and drive it forward², and the Land Rover will drive away . Be careful to avoid the grenades that occupant of the Land Rover will lob out at Lara. Angle the Jeep to the right and turn right and follow the Land Rover up the steep hill. Turn left and drive the Jeep hard up the left side of the slope to avoid the grenades being tossed from the other vehicle. Take a hard right and run down one of the two Egyptian mercenaries (8) with the Jeep³. Now quickly back up or circle around to run down the other Egyptian mercenary (9) when he climbs down from the rocks. Turn right and continue down the road into the cavernous tunnel. Angle the Jeep to the left, but stay to the right side. Turn left near the bottom of the cavern and drive forward slowly to avoid taking damage off of a drop. Climb up the left side of the next slope and quickly climb out when the road flattens out. Use the rock column on the left just at the top of the slope. Draw weapons, preferably the shotgun, and sprint across the road to the right and up the slope. Take out the Egyptian mercenary (10) on top of the rock bridge. When the Egyptian mercenary is dead, run back down the slope.
	SECRET #3	Stand at the lip of the spiked pit, turn and face away from the edge. Hop backwards and grab onto the side of the pit. Shift to the right and climb down to the crevice. Quickly release and grab again so that Lara is not using her feet to climb, and quickly pull up into a crouched position, which will be SECRET #3. Crawl forward and turn around. Have Lara lower herself over the edge and release to drop to the floor of the cave. Turn around and run forward. Pick up a small Medi Pack (15) and a crate of super grenades (16). Turn around and run back to the mouth of this cave. Grab onto the ledge and pull up into a crouched position. Crawl forward, turn around and lower Lara over the edge. Shift to the left and climb back up to the surface.
		Run forward and get back into the Jeep. Accelerate the Jeep hard and jump over the pit using the ramp on the left side of the pit. Drive forward after Lara clears the pit and turn right. Drive forward and turn right once more and climb the hill and run down another Egyptian mercenary (11). Slowly and carefully negotiate the rock bridge as it winds to the right. Turn left and carefully cross the rock bridge. Turn left and follow the rock ledge. Angle the Jeep to the left and cross another rock bridge. Quickly drive forward and turn right to cross one more rock bridge and run down one more Egyptian mercenary (12). Angle the Jeep to the right and drive slowly down into the tunnel. Drive up the slope and crest the hill to leave the valley behind.

	Footnotes: This vehicle looks like an old Land Rover Series I, but I have no proof. Car enthusiasts, please forgive me if I've incorrectly identified the various vehicles in this game. However, the vehicle we call a jeep has a small oval insignia, but the Jeep badge has no such oval. The only reason we call it a Jeep is because the CD insert identifies the vehicle as a Jeep. It's possible to complete this level on foot, but you got the wheels, so why not use them. There are tunnels and scalable rock walls that will allow Lara to climb past the steep hills if you plan on getting through the valley on foot. In the past, running down enemies with a vehicle will cause them not to be added to the total kill counter, but since Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation doesn't count kills that way anymore, we're going to consider running down an enemy to be a kill, and so we will recommend you run the enemies down because it's easier.
