Run forward, to the end of the hallway and turn right. Crouch down
and crawl into the crawlspace in the eastern wall. At the other end
of the crawlspace, turn around and have Lara lower herself down out of
the crawlspace. Reverse roll and follow the hallway, either to the left or right. The hallway will circle around and widen before opening to a large chamber to the east. Run forward into the large chamber and turn left. The chamber has an upper balcony that runs the circumference of the room. There are seven doors on the lower level, three to the north, a large set of double doors to the east, and three to the south. The upper level has two doorways to the north and three doorways to the south. Run forward and push open the middle door on the north wall. Run inside and turn left. Run forward and take a standing jump and grab onto the pole. Slide down until Lara's feet are just above the blade that is rotating around in the opening below. The blade moves in and out of the hole as it travels around the opening. Wait until the blade is just beginning to recede and slide down until Lara's head is below the blade. Slide down a little further until Lara's feet is just above the next blade. Repeat the timing to slide past this next blade. Slide down until Lara's feet are just above the third blade and wait until it recedes to slide to the bottom of the pole. Run down the hallway to the west and turn left. Run forward to the end of the tunnel, past the pole. Stand facing the wall, and wait for the blade to pass. Jump up and grab the edge of the hole and pull up into the room above, avoiding the pole altogether. Turn right and walk forward. Turn right once more to step up onto the higher ledge. |

Golden Star #1
|
Turn left to enter the room with the two large gears. A mechanical guard (1) will emerge from the alcoves ahead. Draw pistols and open fire when it charges at Lara. Take a standing jump over it as it attacks, reverse roll and take aim on it again only when it bears its chest and charges at Lara. The guard will only take damage if Lara hits it on the blue gem on its chest. When it falls, proceed to the column on the western side of the room with the two gears and use the crowbar to pry off the Golden Star (1). Turn left and run to the southern wall, below the torch. | ||
SECRET #1
|
Turn left and run forward into the southeastern corner of the
room. Side step to the left and Hop backwards and grab onto the
ladder on the wall. Climb down and release from the ladder. Hop
backwards and safety drop to the ledge below. Hop backwards again and
safety drop into the tunnel below. Turn right and run forward into
SECRET #1. Pick up a small Medi Pack (2), a box of revolver ammo (3), and a set of Uzi Clips (4). Reverse roll and run forward. Turn right, grab the higher ledge and pull up. Run forward, grab the next ledge and climb up to the next ledge. Run forward and climb up the ladder, pull up to the room with the two gears, and turn right. |
||
|
Turn right, run forward past the torch and turn right once more to
find a ladder on the side of the column. Climb up the ladder and pull
up to the ledge high above the room with the gears. Turn left and
follow the adjacent ledge down the steps into a room with a
pole. Angle Lara to the left and take a standing jump to grab the pole. Slide down the pole and release when Lara is in the lower room. Step around the pole and run forward through the archway. Continue straight ahead and a mechanical guard (2) will emerge. Draw pistols and kill it by taking standing jumps over it and reverse rolling. When the guard falls, turn left and head toward the archway in the southern wall. As Lara approaches, another mechanical guard (3) will attack. Draw pistols and repeat the jump and reverse roll procedure to kill this guard. After the guard is disabled, run through the archway to the south and turn right. Run forward to the hole in the ground and stand to the south of the hole. Hop backwards, into the hole, and grab onto the ladder. Climb down the ladder and release when Lara reaches the bottom. Reverse roll and run forward. When Lara reaches the crawlspace, crouch down and crawl forward. Stand up, step down into the narrow hallway, and turn left. Do not step forward yet. In the next chamber is a mechanical horse. When Lara steps forward, a mechanical horseman (4) will run into the room from the alcove in the far right corner of the room, and mount the horse. If the horseman mounts the horse, Lara will have to shoot the horseman several times in the blue gem on its chest to knock it off the horse, and then shoot it several more times to disable it. A much simpler method of dealing with this horseman is not to enter the chamber, but rather to angle Lara to the right, while she is still in the hallway and lob a grenade into the alcove in the far right corner of the next chamber, then immediately step forward to activate the horseman1. The explosion of the grenade will disorient the horseman, and it will not mount the horse, and Lara can take it down like any other mechanical guard. |

Turn left, step down to the sandy floor, and turn right. Run forward and enter the passageway ahead2. Turn left and step forward, but stop before Lara reaches the swinging chains. Stand as far to the left as possible, crouch down and crawl past the apex of the first chain's swing. When Lara is past the first chain, side step to the left and crouch down to crawl past the apex of the second chain. Continue crawling to the left past the third chain and stand and run forward into the next chamber, with the large gear. Turn right when Lara steps down and run forward until Lara reaches the wooden trapdoor. Flip open the trapdoor3 and step forward, to drop into the pool below. Swim down and around to the right and enter the underwater tunnel that leads out of the first underwater chamber. Turn left and swim forward across the long underwater chamber and into the gateway that Lara opened earlier. The water will become shallow and Lara will be able to stand up in it. Turn right and wade forward and vault up out of the water. |

Wait until the rotating blade is receding, and drop through the hole. Turn left and run forward and follow the tunnel as it turns to the right. Grab onto the pole, and climb up the pole until Lara is just below the blade, which would be about three pulls up the pole. When the blade moves to the opposite side of Lara, pull up twice more and immediately backflip off the pole to land on the ledge above. Draw pistols and shoot out the two vases on this level. Grab the large Medi Pack (11), and box of regular shotgun shells (12). Turn and face the pole. Step away from the pole so that Lara's back is against the wall of the small chamber and take a standing jump and grab onto the pole. Climb up the pole by pulling up three more times, and wait until the blade moves to the opposite side of the hole. Pull up twice more and backflip to the ledge above. Shoot out the vase and pick up a small Medi Pack (13). Stand so that Lara is on the east or north side of the pole, which means Lara should be facing west or south. Aim Lara for the pole and step back. Take a standing jump and grab onto the pole. Climb up the pole by pulling up three times. When the blade is receding, pull up twice more and backflip to the hallway above. Turn and face east. Run down the hallway and turn right. Run forward back into the large room with all the doors. Run forward to the southern wall and push open the middle door. Run inside and down the stairs. Follow the stairs down as they wind to the left, back to the right and to the left where they widen.

Cross the room diagonally and enter the hallway at the northwest corner of the room. Run down the hall and turn right. Continue forward and jump into the pool. Wait until the two fire elementals touch the water and extinguish themselves. Climb out of the pool, turn and walk to the southeast corner of the pool. Stand on the black and gold circles and Lara will look up at a dark hole in the wall. Use the binoculars to look up into the dark hole. Activate the night-vision feature4 of the binoculars to view the marking on the wall. Lara will see five concentric circles, which are orbits. Starting from the center and moving outward, the color of the bodies are blue [Earth], gray [Moon], green [Venus], red [Mars] and yellow [Sun]. Exit this room through the hallway to the west, which Lara entered from. Shoot the vase in the corner and pick up a small Medi Pack (14). Turn around and head south, back to the room with the lamp and the scrolls. Cross the room diagonally to the left and run back up the stairs. Follow the stairs as they wind to the right, to the right again, to the left, and finally to the right. Step back into the central room and turn right.

Recall the order of the colors from the drawing that Lara viewed earlier. Turn right and run forward, taking a hairpin turn to the right when Lara is past the globe. Push the globe with the blue stripe [Earth] to the east four times. Sidestep around the globe counter-clockwise and push the globe forward three times to the north until the globe comes to rest on the black circle in the center of the room. A glowing white orb will appear over the globe to indicate that it is in the correct position. Now place the first golden star into the receptacle on the north wall to open the gate on the north wall. Side step to the right and step into the alcove and pull the globe with the red stripe [Mars] that is inside the alcove nine times toward the south. Side step around the globe counter-clockwise and push it to the west once until it comes to a rest on the black circle on the second outer-most orbit. Replace a golden star in its receptacle on the southern wall to open the gate on the southern wall. Side step to the left and enter the alcove. Pull the globe with the yellow stripe [Sun] nine times toward the north, then step around the globe and push it five times to the west so that it comes to rest on the black circle on the outer-most orbit. Finally replace the golden star in the eastern receptacle to open the two doors on the eastern wall. Side step to the right and enter the alcove to the right of the receptacle. Pull the globe with the gray stripe [Moon] seven times to the west and step around the globe to push it twice more toward the north so that it comes to rest on the black circle of the inner-most orbit. Finally pull the last globe, which has the green stripe [Venus], four times to the west and step around it to push it once to the south so that the globe comes to a rest on the black circle of the second inner-most orbit. Blue sparks will emanate from a gold disk on the northern wall and arc around the white orbs above the five orbs. Enter the newly opened hallway below the gold disk on the northern wall. Turn right, step forward, and turn left. Run down the hall and draw pistols. Blow apart the vase and pick up a large Medi Pack (16). Turn left and continue forward down the hallway.

Run forward and push open the blue doors to reveal a path back to the central room. Run through the blue doors and turn right. Run forward to the farthest blue doorway on the northern side of this room. Push open the doors, enter the tunnel and turn left. Run forward and turn left when Lara comes to a vase. Draw pistols and blow apart the vase. Step forward and pick up a small Medi Pack (18), and a set of Uzi Clips (19). Reverse roll, step forward and turn left. Follow the hallway forward and turn right. Run forward into the next room. When Lara steps into the center of the room two mechanical guards (7, 8) will emerge from the alcoves to the right and left. Immediately, reverse roll and retreat into the hallway. The guards will not run to the end of the hallway near the great chamber. When Lara reaches the bend in the tunnel near the great hall, reverse roll. From that end of the hallway, fire on the guards. Lara can only score a hit when she shoots at the blue gem in their chests. If the guards retreat back into the room, step forward into the hallway to lure them back. When both guards are disabled, reenter the room. |

Fire Circle Scroll
|
Run forward, angle Lara to the right and head for the gray pedestal.
Pick up the Fire Circle Scroll (20) and
examine it for instructions on how to solve the puzzle with the star
and the serpent statues. Reverse roll and run back into the tunnel. Turn left and run forward. Turn right and reenter the large hall. Turn left and run forward to the farthest doorway on the north wall. Turn left and enter the blue doors. Follow the tunnel as it winds to the right and back to the left to return to the room with the seven-pointed star on the floor and the seven serpent statues. Following the instructions on the scroll, Lara must light the flame on each serpent by pulling the lever behind it. Pulling the lever on a serpent statue will toggle its flame either on or off, but it will also toggle flames of the two statues that are connected to it by the lines of the star. To solve this puzzle, simply start at the statue nearest to the tunnel that Lara entered from, and have her work her way counter-clockwise around the room, pulling the lever on each statue once. Stepping on the small ledge in front of the pi-omega symbol on the wall will extinguish all the flames. When Lara has lit all the statues, two blocks will rise from the center of the room5. Run forward and climb onto the lower block. Turn and face the higher block and climb up onto the higher block. Turn to face south, step forward and jump up and grab the opening in the ceiling of this room and pull up to the tunnel above. Run forward, and follow the stairs as they spiral to the right. When Lara reaches the top of the stairs, run forward, past a pool on the left, and turn right. Run down the slope to a room littered with scrolls. Run across the room to the ladder.

Safety drop back down to the ground below and reverse roll. Run forward into the hallway on the right. Draw pistols and shoot the vase. Pick up a pair of Uzi Clips (22) and turn right. Run forward into a larger room with more scrolls littering the floor. Turn left and run forward to the other end of the room. Run down the steps and turn left. Follow the small tunnel forward and turn right. Lara will come to a set of blue doors. Push the doors open and step forward. Lara will find herself at the upper balcony of the large hall. Turn right and follow the balcony by turning left, running to the south side of the room, and turning left again. Run forward along the balcony and go to the eastern end of the balcony. Push open all three doors on the southern wall of the upper balcony, starting from the west and working to the east, but do not step any further into either of the first two doorways. Enter the one furthest to the west. Having the other two doors open may be convenient for getting around later. Step forward to drop onto the ramp below. |

SECRET #3
|
As Lara nears the end of the ramp, take a jump off the ramp
and grab onto the ladder on the wall ahead. Climb the ladder and pull
up onto the large bronze lion's head. Step forward and watch a large
globe roll down the ramp below. Turn right and take a running jump to
the ledge that runs entire west side of the room. Lara will land on SECRET #3. Pick up the large Medi Pack (23) and quiver full of regular crossbow bolts (24). When Lara has collected all the items, safety drop to the floor of the chamber |
||
|
When Lara lands in the room below she will take a little
damage. Immediately take a standing jump forward, up the slope ahead,
and then take a side flip to the right to avoid a large globe that
will roll down from the ramp ahead6. Slide down into the lower part of the ramp and walk over to where the globe came to a rest. Take a running jump over the globe to land on a flat ledge behind it. A mechanical guard (9) will appear on the right. Lara can take pot shots at him by jumping up and down on this lower ledge. When the guard is disabled, vault up out of the trench. Head toward the ramp where the boulder rolled down and start walking up the ramp. Another globe will drop out of the hole at the top of the ramp. Most likely, the globe will bounce harmlessly over Lara's head, but to be safe she can side flip to the right. When the globe is past, walk as far up the ramp as Lara can go until it becomes too steep to continue and angle Lara to the left. Take a standing jump and grab onto the lever on the wall, and allow Lara's weight to pull it down. A block will rise from the center of the room. Turn left and run forward and angle Lara back to the right. Vault up onto the small block and turn right. Climb up onto the tall block and take a running jump and grab onto the ledge to the south.

down to the floor. Turn right and pick up the Pharos Pillar (25). Reverse roll and step forward, taking a
hairpin turn to the right. Pull open the trapdoor in the floor, and
note the ladder on the south side of the shaft. Turn around, and run forward into the hallway ahead with the lamp. A fire elemental (10) will attack from the right. Reverse roll and head for the trapdoor. Drop backwards off the side of the shaft with the ladder and climb down the ladder quickly by releasing and grabbing the ladder repeatedly until Lara can safety drop to the ground. Turn left and run forward. When Lara reaches the small chamber with the bench turn left and run forward. Drop into the pool and wait for the fire elemental to extinguish itself. When it's destroyed, surface and pull out of the pool. Head back through the narrow hallway to the south and turn right. Run forward to the ladder and turn left. Climb back up the ladder and pull up to the upper floor. Run forward, up the steps and back through the gate. Drop to the floor of the room beyond and turn right. |
||
Torch
|
Run forward and enter through the gate which will open automatically
as Lara approaches it. Run forward and the gate will drop shut behind
Lara. Ahead, the hallway opens to a chamber on the left. Turn left
