Level 15

The Great Pyramid

This is it! The FINAL LEVEL!

As soon as you can select your weapon and do a save. And it starts with the hardest enemy in this game - one big alien! After a couple hundred rounds of Uzi fire or 20-30 well placed shotgun blasts he will die. There are several strategies for killing this guy - I'll let you find yours.

I used the Uzi's jumping left or right around the edge of the room, turning at the corners. Just don't fall in the pit or you may as well load that last save game. Find and pick-up all 6 Uzi clips from the corners of the room below then enter and slide down the red tunnel. At the very bottom of the slope push the block 3 times then go up the ramp and push the next block once then climb to the tunnel above. Now dash through the veg-o-matic and don't fall through the fake floor.

DO NOT GO DOWN THE SLOPE.

Go right at the intersection until you reach a block which you push forward. Return to the intersection and turn right going past the door and drop into a room with a block. Climb over the block then push it twice into the red doorway. Go round and get on the block and use the switch then turn and enter the next room and go right and jump to the ledge on the slope. Jump to the next ledge and a third jump to the long ledge that crosses the entire slope.

A bridge appears behind you so jump back and cross the bridge to find Secret#1 - medikit, shells and magnum clips. Use the switch twice down then back up - to secure a portion of the bridge and then return to the ledges and go left across the jumps to the tunnel entrance. Proceed up the tunnel and do a quick reverse when the boulder comes at you. Avoid the boulder then go back up the tunnel to repeat this with a second boulder. At the end of the tunnel is a collapsible ledge which you need to roll onto then run off before you fall.

Hang and drop down taking severe damage then recharge your health. Shoot the Scion until it explodes starting a major earthquake that goes on forever. Go through the door and kill 2 monsters from the bridge one on either side, then go forward to kill a third monster, then drop down to the rocks below on the right of the bridge. Do a safety drop through the hole by the wall then turn left and leap and grab the crevice. Shimmy to the right ignoring the darts which only do minimal damage. At the far right drop and slide backwards toward the lava but jump backwards before you fall in.

Enter the next room and go to the left side of the hill (facing the axe) and continue down to trigger a boulder. It will roll by and fall into the crack. Now go to the swinging blade and do a timed jump across to some spikes that you need to be WALKED through. The next bridge is made of collapsible panels so you need to cross it in a double jump. Stand in the right corner facing the door, take one step back, then do a standing jump twice into the doorway.

Thankfully that earthquake seems to have ended. On the left wall is a crevice you can jump to. Stand facing the left wall at the edge turn right slightly so that you are now facing the next part of the wall. Grab on and shimmy right until you can drop to the ledge and get Secret#2 - medikits and Uzi clips. Walk up to the middle of the ledge, so the block is underneath you, turn around and take one step forward away from the edge, now jump backwards off this ledge to the slanted pillar then jump forward to the next pillar. Jump or shimmy into the tunnel on the right and run through it as the floor falls away behind you.

Duck through the axe to avoid the rolling boulder (phew!) then go right down the slope and try to outrun the boulder chasing you. When the chase is over you can jump over the boulder to get a medikit then jump back and turn right to slide down a second slope. Time your jump past the blade to get to the ledge and wait for the boulder to drop then drop of the side into the tunnel and run past the lava that enters the tunnel. Get the medikit and continue past more lava then use the switch and enter the door. Turn right to get the Uzi clips in the passage, and then go back to the lava hole.

STOP BEFORE THE HOLE.

A boulder rolls above you so when it passes jumps over the hole and hang as a second boulder rolls by overhead. Climb up and enter the next room with a series of ledges with flames on them. Stay close to the wall and make the jumps. You will take some heat damage but not nearly as much as if you catch on fire.  If you do burst into flames drop down to the water below to put out the fire then swim back to the beginning and try again. You should now be in a room with a pool and an axe.

Before you jump to the panel in front of the blade take two steps back from the edge otherwise Lara cannot get her steps in to do the next jump. As you land on the panel it falls out from under you so leap into the cave entrance through the swing blade to find Secret#3 – Uzi ammo and a medikit (tragic note - this secret doesn't seem to register on the PC so you can only get 2/3). When you are ready to leave go to the edge of the entrance – take one step back then jump or dive to that tiny pool below. Grab the Uzi clips then swim through the tunnel and into the next room. As the earthquake starts up again get some more Uzi ammo and proceed to the large room.

Natla is back and is flying around shooting fireballs at you! Blast her with Uzi fire and dodge as much as you can. Heal yourself often. After shooting her down she will get up and you must continue to blast her until she stays down. Enter the tunnel and get some Uzi ammo. Note: Natla was the last enemy in this game so any more ammo is strictly for obtaining a perfect item score. Head to the rocks in the corner, find the small ramp and jump to the first pillar then jump to the next and then to the pillar below the door then climb up to the top.

Turn and drop through the hole landing on the pillar then turn and jump across the next 2 pillars. Jump to the pillar below the door and grab on and climb into the tunnel. Run down the hall and do a safety drop from the hole onto another pillar. Turn right and leap to the ledge below the tunnel then climb into the tunnel and run forward. Slide down the long slope to EXIT the level and the game.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You just finished TOMB RAIDER!
