Level 2
Turn around and pull the switch that opens the trap door. Drop down and collect the two magnum clips on opposite alcoves. Head up the passage a little way ignoring the mummy monster to the left and head into the alcove on your right. In here are three closed cages. Open them by using the switch. Grab the pack on the right first then head to the other medikit alcove. As soon as you pick it up the mummy attacks. Run and jump out over the blue wall. You can then pick it off at your leisure using your basic pistols.
When it is dead climb back in the alcove and pull the switch a second time, this opens the secret door where you entered the level. Return there and stand in the doorway to pick off the mummy that is roaming around. Secret#1. Once it's dispatched, jump down and head off up the passage. When you turn the corner stop, turn around and take out your shotgun. Start to back up the passage facing the way you came. As you near the end of the passage two panthers will chase after you, so take them out. Pick up the magnum clips and head back the way you came.
This time run past the alcove and round the corner till you get to the end. Climb up out into the open air and follow the path to where it turns a sharp left, to the right is a gap you can jump over. There you will find a couple of shell boxes. Pick them up and jump out. Run further down the path and climb onto a block. A couple of mummies will attack you but are easy prey. Over to the left is a large open expanse surrounded by hills with boulders on top. Head over there and you should see a box of shells, pick it up with no problem. On the far side are two more boxes. Each time you try to pick these up you trigger a boulder, so get ready to make a back flip out the way. A final box is stored in the far left corner.
Now head towards the Inca style temple and climb to the top. Along the way pick up a box of shells and a small medikit. If you climb up the left side of the cat statue overlooking the scene, a couple of panthers will appear but these are easily picked off from the higher tiers. Just underneath the cat statue that overlooks the landscape at the top of the temple you should find two blocks that have handles attached. Drag one out and push it to the side. Move the inner one out of the way to reveal a gap you can jump down grabbing hold of the edge to minimise any damage.
Once down make your way over to the other side of the room and pick up the medikit and throw the switch. Go through the door and pick up the key on the floor. Walk around the chamber and climb up onto the ledge, jump over to the other side to get the box of shells before you drop down. Make your way back around the temple and find a single block on its own. Pull it towards the temple to find a box of shells. Turn around and follow the panther tracks till you come to a pool.
Jump straight in and turn around to find a lever. Pull it and a door opens at the other end of the pool, make for that door as quick as you can. Wait till the alligator comes through then swim through. If the timing is right you will be left alone in the pool. Grab the key that is at the end of the room and head back to the doorway which will open again. You will probably have to swim under the approaching alligator and head slightly to the right to climb out.
You now need to climb right to the top of the blocks, walk over to the left side overhanging the pool. You should find a door with two keyholes each side. Use the ornate keys in both. Enter the new room, Do not use the switch to turn on the lights, it closes the door to the secret.
Walk round keeping to the right side. Go down the vine covered passage and kill the panther that jumps out on you. Enter the room with two large open doors to get a medikit. Secret#2. Exit the room and go back to the entrance to the switch that was left of the double doors you originally entered, pull it and come back. The doors to the medikit room have closed. Continue round to the right and find a vine-covered switch. Pull this to open the trap door in the room behind you.
Go into that room and drop through the trap door. You will find yourself standing on a pedestal in the middle of a new room. Two passageways can be found in opposite corners and four additional holes in the floor lead to a water filled room below. There is a cat wandering around in this lower chamber so you may want to dispatch it before continuing around one of the two passages. They both lead to the same place. You will come to a passage with three holes in the floor and two switches.
You need to pull both switches in order to open a set of large doors currently blocking your exit in the water cavern below. You need to pull both fairly quickly, but this is easily done with a couple of standing jumps over the three holes. Drop down and swim for the now open doors. Two alligators patrol the pool you are entering, so you to find a way onto dry land as soon as possible. Once you have got onto dry land dispatch the 'alligators. You need to collect five keys dotted around various points in this room.
The first is in the room only accessible from the underwater entrance. Dive into the pool and swim to the doors, look up as the tunnel ceiling passes overhead and you should see a gap. Climb up here, the key is in front of the cat statue and two medikits are located at each end of the chamber. Return to the main room, four more keys to go. One can be found on the lowest tier near the moveable block. As you get it a panther will appear so have your magnums ready. While you are here push the block forwards to reveal a magnum clip.
The third key is on the third tier over on the other side of the room, again a panther will appear. Drop down a tier to avoid it, and make picking it off somewhat easier. The final two can be found on the chamber overhanging the water. Climb to the top tier and jump onto it. As you do two more panthers will be prowling the top of the terrace. They will not wander down to where you are so pick them off at your leisure. Now you have all five keys, climb up to the top and make your way round to the five locks. Starting at the right, use all your keys in each lock, this opens the locked door to your left at the end of the row.
Once you're in, walk to the edge of the pit and have a gander. You need to first lower yourself down to the middle section via the pillar in the right corner. While you are here jump over to the two alcoves to collect a box of shells and a medikit. Jump back to the middle section. Stand at the bottom of the slope, turn towards the opening above the slope and do a standing jump into the opening. Enter the passage to the right, in the middle of which you will find a ledge to the right that houses a switch. Climb up, pull the switch and go back out the way you came in. You will come out overlooking the other spike pit, with a slope in front of it.
You can either jump over onto the middle platform or slide down the slope and make an easy jump to the facing alcove. Either way you have finished here so climb out of the pit and continue through the newly opened doorway. In this room you find a single hole in the floor leading to a large set of water filled rooms. Stand in front of the hole with the open door to your left. Jump in and swim down and forward through the gap.
In this room is an Uzi clip and a breathing space above but you will now be attacked by an alligator. It's best to try to avoid it but you can swim back out and try to pick it off, which is quite tricky. Anyway, in the right corner of the Uzi room is a hole. Swim through this and around to the left is an Uzi clip. Around to the right the passage leads to a switch on the left wall. Pulling this opens the final doorway. Climb out of the water and enter the next room. Have your shotgun or magnums on standby. The room has two Pharaoh faces on the floor, step on both to open the door.
As you approach the large double doors two mummies will burst through and attack. Finish them off and enter the next room. Run straight across, to find two switches. Pull both to move the boulder blocking your exit, and the final doorway in the five-lock room swings open. Go through the doorway previously blocked by the boulder. Do a running jump across the room and pick up the medikit. Now kill the alligator you didn't see!
Once he's dead pick up the ammo and climb into the passageway. Drop down the hole at the end to land in the pool. Climb out and make your way over to the new doorway (on the left where the big cage is) opposite the other opened earlier with the keys. Here we have a room with eight mummies, currently dormant. Grab your Uzi's from the block in front of you and pick up the four Uzi clips and medikit in the corner.
Then make your way down to the earth filled end room. As you make your way around this more and more of the mummies will spring to life, so take them out with your shotgun. To the right side of the room is a switch, pull this to open your exit and activate two of the mummies. Quickly turn and run to the ramp to catch them running down the slope. Re-enter the room and go around collecting the goodies from each corner, each time checking for approaching mummies. Once done head back up the ramp to the new exit on the right. As you do so, notice there is one mummy left. Enter the new room and climb up the big set of stairs on your right. As you near the end the final mummy should barrel through the door behind you.
Once it's dead, run up the stairs. Walk off the left corner to land on a column then drop down to the lower pillar. You need to make a standing jump onto the platform opposite. Take a diagonal running jump to the right over the spikes to land on a flat area beyond. Do not approach the white hot floor area or you will get toasted. Turn to the Secret#3 room on your left. Collect the Uzi clip and medikit. A ramp runs up the back of the room, as you walk up it a boulder starts to approach so run off to the left. Again start up the ramp, but this time about half way up another boulder falls down. Thankfully an alcove is provided to your left.
Once past this an exit is at the top of the ramp, enter this and draw your guns. Kill the panther and pull yourself up onto the ledge to get a box of shells and another medikit. Run down the corridor to re-enter at the base of the big staircase. Make your way back up to the top, this time walk of the ledge on the right side, now drop down to the ledge off to the right. Edge to the front and make a standing jump to the column opposite. Make another to the block over on the left and again to the next column, pick up the Uzi clips.
Look up and see the crack above, jump up and grab hold of it. Edge left across the chamber till you can pull yourself up. Climb up to your right and enter the room past the cat statue. Pull the switch within. Turn to exit and cross the bridge that has mysteriously appeared and head off down the steps. Enter the room at the bottom and go through the new exit on the right. This takes you into an oasis area. Follow the vine covered path and draw your weapon. As you turn a left corner an alligator will attack, so kill it. Make sure you collect the medikit off to the right.
Continue into the chamber till you find a pool of water. Collect the large medikit from an alcove and kill the alligator that appears. Approach the pool, kill the alligator that is swimming around and jump in. Pull the switch to open two trap doors in the first room. As you climb out of the pool you will find a panther waiting to welcome you, so have your Uzi's prepared to thank it for the warm reception. Go back to the start of the oasis and climb up into one of the trap doors.
Follow the passage round. Walk over the door in the floor and climb up on the stone tablet, releasing the door. Drop through and collect the medikit and a box of shells. You have now come into a long passage that has three pairs of switches, each with a door in between.
THE MIDDLE ROOM IS A TRAP, ENTER WITH CARE.
It is possible to do the middle room. This is how I did it. Do a save before you enter. Walk up the stairs to SECOND step from the top and turn around to face the door, make sure Lara is positioned on one side of the step. Back flip to the top step, the mummies animate and the stairs turn into a slide. Press jump and hold either left or right depending where you positioned Lara on the step, Lara will slide then (hopefully) land on a block. Quickly kill the mummy on your side then easily kill the mummy on the other side. Take a running jump out of the room.
Killing the mummies in the middle room gives you two less in the next main room. You can continue on by entering either the first or third set, but to collect the final Secret do the following:
See the drawings below, just move the blocks into the correct place. Pull the second set of switches which opens the middle door. Run in and immediately spin round and run out. Head right down the corridor, through the door at the very end.
Push
block (A) in front of you forwards and to the right, this reveals the switch
that opens the door.
Forget about this for now.
Pull the second (B) block back one space and then push it into the entrance of the door.
Pull
block (A) into the corner in the other side of the switch. Pull block (B)
out of the doorway and push it along side block (A).
Go
into the next chamber and pull the next block (C) once, then go around it
and push it into the corner space against the wall.
Now
for block number four (D). Pull and push it back all the way into the corner
near block (C).
Now
pull and push block (C) to the wall the other side of block
(D).
The fifth block (E) needs to be pulled right one space and back four the second chamber, now push against the wall next to block (C).
Get
back into the third chamber to move the last block (F) out of the way, by
pulling it back two spaces.
Run
around it to claim your prize.
Pull the switch to get out of the door.
Onto the final stage of the level. Both first and third chambers lead to the same room, but you are best using the one you are nearest to. At the base of the next large open air room are three mummies so have your shotgun ready. Make your way around to the back of the large statue, using the blocks dotted around to aid in providing high ground to attack any mummies from. Once at the back, go up the stairs and push the block forward two spaces to get the medikit.
Now go round the stairs and pull yourself up onto the ledge. Jump across to the other side and look outside. Opposite is a ledge, you need to make a running jump and grab onto the ledge. Lift yourself up and head off to the left, have your guns ready to polish off two more mummies as you run around the outside of the room.
You enter a long chamber. Make your way to the end and before climbing up get the Uzi clip on the floor and drag yourself up the blocks till you are outside. You should see a panther in the statue's mouth so kill it, this saves doing so later. You need to jump from column to column, using the alcove at the far right corner when you get there. Pick up a medikit along the way. Down the far side of the room you come to a higher column, this requires a running jump and grab. Then lift yourself up onto the roof.
Whip out your Uzi's and get ready to greet a mummy with a hail of hot lead. Head off down the walkway that runs down the right side of the rooms and climb onto the gold block you find at the end (without the cat statue). You need to run and jump onto the block just under the statue's eye - if you are afraid of heights it's too late to turn back now. Once you make it drag yourself up on top of the eye and whip out your guns once more to kill another mummy. Go to the back of the statue and pull the switch.
This has extended the statue's tongue. Turn around and run all the way off the end of the statue's nose landing on the tongue. Enter the mouth and jump over the hole in the floor, pull the switch, jump back over the hole and across the tongue, heading for the cat statue to finish the level.
