Kills: 24 |

|
Draw the revolver and charge forward. As the path widens, turn right
to spot two Egyptian soldiers (1, 2)
attempting to fight off a giant scorpion (3). As Lara approaches a second giant scorpion
(4) will attack from the
southwest. Lara should do what she can to save the soldiers, but it will be a challenge. If Lara hits one of the soldiers even once, they will show their gratitude by returning fire. However, neither soldier is carrying any items, so the only reason to rescue them is for Lara's reputation. After taking out the scorpions, turn and face the bunker to the south, which as two ramps leading down to steel doors. Run down the ramp on the left, which is further to the east, and open the door and step inside the room. Immediately turn right, draw pistols, crouch down and shoot out the crate to find a small Medi Pack (1). Turn around, run forward and through the open gate to enter the storage area. Turn right, draw pistols and shoot out the crates on the right to find a box of revolver ammo (2), a quiver full of poison crossbow bolts (3), and a box of super grenades (4). Turn and face the eastern side of the storage area. Draw pistols and shoot apart the three crates to find a box of wideshot shotgun shells (5), Uzi clips (6) and a box of regular grenades (7). Exit the storage area and also exit the room. Run up the ramp to return to the clearing patrolled by the soldiers. |

SECRET #1
|
Run down the ramp on the right side, which is closer to the east. Open the door and step inside. Run up to the closed gate and use the armory key to open it1. Enter the armory, which is SECRET #1 and turn right. | ||
Crossbow & Grenade Gun
|
Draw pistols and shoot apart the four crates. Step forward and pick up the crossbow (8), which will count as ten normal crossbow bolts if Lara is already carrying the crossbow. Step forward and pick up a grenade gun (9), which will count as ten normal grenades if Lara is already carrying this weapon. | ||
Revoler
|
Step forward once again to pick up a box of regular shotgun shells (10). Turn left, step forward to find a revolver (11), which will count as six rounds of ammunition if Lara is already carrying the revolver. | ||
Shotgun & Uzi
|
Turn and head toward the eastern side of the armory. Shoot apart the
three crates and step forward to pick up a quiver full of regular
crossbow bolts (12). Step forward and
pick up the shotgun (13), which will
count as six regular shotgun shells if Lara is already carrying the
shotgun. Turn right and pick up an Uzi (14), which will count as thirty rounds of
ammunition if Lara is already carrying the Uzis. Draw the revolver and exit the armory. Exit the bunker and charge up the ramp. Lara will find the two soldiers under the attack of another giant scorpion (5). Lara can try to save the soldiers, but the scorpion will likely take one out. |

Head to the northwest corner of this clearing to find another deep
chasm between the great pyramid and the three smaller pyramids. Walk
out to the edge of the chasm and take a standing jump to a small
square ledge that juts out from the first small pyramid. Now angle Lara to the left and draw the Uzis. Take a running jump over the corner of the first pyramid to land on a sandy stretch between two of the smaller pyramids. A giant scorpion (6) will attack from the left, so quickly turn and open fire while charging at it2. Avoid it by taking a running jump over it, reverse rolling and repeating until its dead. When the scorpion is dead, turn and face the chasm and walk along the north side of the sandy stretch until Lara steps out onto the sloped ledge that juts out over the chasm. Take a running jump and grab the ledge on the opposite side of the chasm. Turn right, draw Uzis and take a standing jump up to the next higher ledge. Immediately back flip to the previous ledge and open fire on a giant scarab (7) beetle that will attack from a higher ledge. When the scarab is dead, take a standing jump back to the ledge ahead. Turn left and climb up to the higher ledge. Turn left and aim for the lower outside corner of the ledge to the north and then take a running jump to reach it. Angle Lara to the left and take a standing jump up to the sloped ledge above. Turn left and take a running jump across the chasm and grab onto the square ledge protruding from the middle of the three smaller pyramids. Turn right and draw weapons, preferably the Uzis, and take aim on a giant scarab (8) sitting on a rock ahead. Open fire and kill it. Now take a running jump over to the ledge that the scarab was formerly sitting on. Quickly run forward, turn left when Lara just reaches the corner of the pyramid and take a standing jump up to a sloped ledge on the pyramid. Here Lara is relatively safe from the giant scorpion (9) that will attack. Draw pistols and kill the scorpion. Drop to the sandy area between the two pyramids and turn left. Run forward to the end of the sandy area and pick up a small Medi Pack (15). Turn around and run back along the sandy stretch. There is an irregularly shaped stone block on the right side of the sandy area. Stand between the low sloping ledge and the block and push the block three times to the west. When the block reaches the corner of the sandy area, a doorway will open to allow access into the middle the three smaller pyramids. Angle Lara to the left and run forward, past the block. Turn left and enter the pyramid. Run forward until Lara reaches a trapdoor. Flip open the trapdoor and turn around. Hop backwards and grab the edge of the shaft. Climb down the ladder, release when Lara nears the bottom and reverse roll. Ahead is a series of tunnels that form a sort of maze. When Lara passes certain points in the tunnels, a stone column will rise or fall in the tunnel ahead which will dictate the direction Lara must travel. Along the way there are niches in the walls. Some of the niches contain items, while the rest only contain swarms of beetles. Proceed forward and the metal gate will drop shut after Lara passes it. At the first intersection of three tunnels turn left. Step forward, and the stone column ahead will lower to reveal a black scorpion (10). Draw pistols and kill it. Step forward until Lara reaches the second niche on the right. Reach in and take a pair of Uzi Clips (16). Turn right and head back the way Lara just came. When Lara returns to the intersection of tunnels, proceed straight ahead. Draw pistols and kill a black scorpion (11) in the newly opened tunnel ahead, and then reach into first niche on the left to find a small Medi Pack (17). Turn right and continue forward along this tunnel until Lara reaches a corner where she must turn left. Draw pistols and step forward and another column will lower. Kill the black scorpion (12) lurking in the intersection ahead, and then proceed forward. At the next intersection of tunnels, turn right. Proceed forward and Lara will reach a corner where she must turn left. Ahead is a tunnel that is not blocked by a column and is illuminated by two torches. Lara can ignore both niches along this tunnel. Proceed forward and Lara will reach another corner where she must turn left again. Proceed forward and another column will lower. Draw the pistols, if Lara has put them away, and kill another black scorpion (13) that is creeping around the intersection ahead. Proceed forward to the intersection and turn left. Step forward and take Uzi clips (18) from the first niche on the right. Do not proceed forward because it will return Lara to a previous intersection, instead, turn right and return to the previous intersection. Proceed straight ahead through the intersection and draw pistols. Kill the black scorpion (14) crawling around ahead. Continue forward and Lara will reach another corner where she is forced to turn left. Proceed forward and another stone column will lower. Lara can ignore both niches on the left as she runs down this tunnel. When Lara reaches the next intersection, Lara must turn right. Draw a powerful weapon, such as the grenade gun or the crossbow equipped with explosive bolts, and step forward. Stop as soon as the column begins to lower. Inside the chamber ahead is Khufu's Guardian (15). Immediately open fire and do not stop until the guardian is destroyed. There's no place to run and no place to hide, so Lara might as well let the guardian's flaming bolts hit her. They don't cause too much damage anyhow. When the guardian falls, step forward. Three black scorpions (16, 17, 18) will crawl out from among the columns in the chamber ahead. Fire on them while retreating a little ways back down the tunnel, but do not back too far down the tunnel. |

Eastern Shaft Key
|
When it is safe to proceed, enter the chamber and cross to the
southern side of the room. Pry the Eastern Shaft Key (19), from the wall, which will also open the
gate that blocked Lara's exit. Turn around and exit this chamber. At the first intersection, turn right and draw pistols. Step forward and the stone column ahead will lower and reveal a black scorpion (19). Kill it and reach into the first niche on the left to find a large Medi Pack (20). Continue forward until Lara reaches another corner where she must turn left. Draw pistols and step forward and the column ahead will lower to reveal another black scorpion (20). Kill it and proceed to the next intersection. At this intersection proceed straight through. Draw pistols, if Lara put them away, and kill another black scorpion (21) that is lurking in the intersection ahead. Reach into the first niche on the left to find a box of regular shotgun shells (21). Turn right and proceed forward down the tunnel until Lara reaches the next intersection. At this intersection, turn left. Proceed forward until the stone column in the tunnel ahead lowers. The tunnel ahead will be illuminated by two of four torches. Proceed forward and Lara will come to another intersection. At this intersection, turn right, step forward and the stone column that blocks this tunnel will lower. From here Lara will be able to see the gate near the exit. Run forward down the tunnel, straight through the next intersection, and under the newly opened steel gate. Climb the ladder to return to the surface. Pull up into the tunnel and run forward to exit the pyramid. Angle Lara to the right and run forward to the edge of the chasm. Angle Lara to the left and take a running jump across the chasm to reach a small sloped square ledge on the opposite side of the chasm. Turn left and take a running jump to the ledge ahead. Walk forward to the edge of this ledge and take a standing jump to the ledge above. Immediately run forward a step and then back flip to the previous ledge while drawing the Uzis. A giant scarab (22) will attack from above, so open fire on it from this lower ledge. When the scarab is dead, walk forward to the northern edge of this ledge and take a standing jump back up to the higher ledge. Turn right and climb up onto the face of the pyramid. Angle Lara to the right, and cross to the right side of this ledge. Vault up to the smaller higher sloped ledge. Walk about halfway up this ledge and turn Lara to the left to face north. Angle Lara back to the right slightly and aim for the near corner of the small ledge above. Take a standing jump to reach it. Walk forward and aim Lara for the longer ledge above. Take another angled standing jump to reach it. Immediately stop and wait for two stone blocks to crash down from above. Walk forward and aim Lara for another long ledge above. Take another angled standing jump to reach it. Draw Uzis and step forward slowly until a giant scarab (23) appears from the flat ledge ahead. Kill it quickly while backing up. Proceed forward along the ledge until a second giant scarab (24) appears. Kill it as well and turn right and vault up onto the flat ledge. Run forward and use the guards keys to open the large steel doors and enter the door. Walk forward down the steep tunnel to enter the Great Pyramid. |
