Level 4
The Kingdom.
Lara has just fallen through a perfectly designed sacrificial trap! The Inuit race who Lara has just helped bring back to life used to throw sacrifices to their gods off the top of the waterfall of gold to stun them and then place them in cages for later use. Lara manages to avoid breaking any bones, but can't avoid waking up in a cage!
Heed the warning about the great apes nearby and then move the box with the gold chain to uncover a box of flares. Pull the switch which opens the door and lets in 3 of the apes. Shoot everything until only Lara is left standing! Run out through the door and pick up 2 Uzi clips just outside. Climb up to the left corner of the valley and pick up a small medikit and a box of flares. Go down the hill towards the middle cave entrance and shoot the ape who charges you.
Enter the cave on the right and pick up 2 shotgun shells near the barred window. Carefully walk through the centre cave and pick up 2 shotgun shells near the spike pit. Walk around the spike pit into the last cave and pick up a large medikit. This triggers yet another ape. When the coast is clear, make your way back to the cage where you started and move the crate onto the gold panel in the floor to open the trapdoor. Climb down the ladder. From the place where you climbed down the ladder, drop down and walk forward into the cave proper and go around to the right.
Use simple jumps to navigate the rough floor and dive into the water at the end of the short passage. Swim around to the right and find the ledge to climb out by a panel with a carved face. Climb up and run forwards to find yourself behind the ladder. Pick up 2 Uzi clips, 2 M-16 clips and a small medikit. Continue around the cave until you're back at the bottom of the ladder again. Walk around the right side of the cave and take a long running jump to the ledge opposite, near the centre of the molten gold. Turn around on the ledge and spot some shotgun shells in an alcove back across the molten gold. Take a long running jump and pick them up. Return to the previous ledge.
Note the slanted ramps in the molten gold. Keep close to the right Wall and do a simple jump to the ramp. Upon landing, jump again to Land on a safe ledge in the corner. Follow the slope to the top and Climb up to the high ledge on your left. Walk towards the dark area opposite the high barred window and go around the corner. This triggers one of those apes - shoot it and pick up 2 shotgun shells. Jump down to the barred window in the small pit. Look out to see a stack of golden coins. Make your way around to the other side and to the bottom of the earth coloured hill.
Drop down through the hole in the floor into a cave with a switch and leopards (though you're safe at present).
You're in the first of a series of cages with switches in them.
I
have numbered them for you to make it easier. At some point in this sequence
you'll need to deal with the snow leopards. Remember that most of the switches
control two doors (opening one and closing another). You start in cage one,
flip the switches in the first three cages, then quickly kill the leopard,
now get the shells from the forth cage, this switch opens the exit door.
The way is now clear to cage five, so flip the switch there as well. Now you need to go back to cage one to flip that switch again, this lets you into cage six. Flip the switch in cage six to open the door to cage eight, then go back and flip the switch in cage five again to open the way to the exit. Quickly arm yourself as the other leopard charges, when he is dead drop into the water in cage seven and get some pistol clips and the small medikit from cage eight. When you have finished exit through the door in the cave wall.
Go left and slide down the ramp. At the last second, do a jump grab to the climbing ladder. Climb down to the bottom and drop off in the left corner to avoid the spikes. Walk through the spikes and pick up the 2 Uzi clips before returning to the ladder and climbing out. Climb up the ladder until you reach the ledge with the spikes. Shimmy sideways and drop near the ladder as you can. Walk through the spikes and do a simple jump to the tunnel nearby. Follow the tunnel to a room with several passages. Go left and pick up a box of flares and 2 pistol clips from the grates in the floor. At the back of the room, find another tunnel.
Take a right at the T-junction and do a simple diagonal jump to the flat ledge hidden in the corner above the ramp. Pick up 2 automatic pistol clips. Return down the tunnel and keep going straight to find Secret #1 - the Gold Coins. Picking up the Gold Coins opens a grate in the floor. Drop into the room below (cage two of the maze of switches) and kill the ape that you find here. Find the exit door from the switch room and this time; follow the tunnel to the right. Climb up to the top of the hill and find yourself overlooking a jungle.
Pick up the large medikit near the skeleton and 2 apes will charge at you from the jungle floor. After the fight, walk into the jungle area and head left to a lower section. Take a simple diagonal jump to the area between two trees on your diagonal right. Walk through the trees and go left to look out over the jungle. Another ape will charge at you, but is easily mown down. Carry on walking to the nearby wooden bridge. You need to make a tricky running jump from the high side of this bridge to the grassy area opposite.
It's not easy, but if you position Lara at the back edge of the bridge with her hand just touching the edge of the rock on her left, you should be able to make it. Pick up the pistol clips, and then take a long running jump to the grey rock slope on the far wall. Slide down the slope and grab the edge. Shimmy left until you can climb up on a flat ledge. Walk over to the second wooden bridge. With your back against the wall, line up a diagonal standing jump with grab to the wooden bridge. From the bridge, do a simple jump to the ledge with Secret #2 - the gold bars.
Jump down to the slanted rocks in the corner and slide down to a safe ledge. Do a simple jump to the rocks by the tree with the 2 M16 clips. Walk up to a higher ledge, then do a long running jump over the molten gold back to a slope just below where you first entered the jungle. Go back across the first wooden bridge. Take a long running jump with grab to the ledge with the Inuit Warrior. Find the small medikit by the barred window then take a long running jump back to the path from the wooden bridge. Enter the room with the switches.
Pull the switch that is near the barred window to open a trap door in the ceiling of the central room and drop down a goon with a gun. Next explore the hallway to the right of the switch by the barred window and pick up 2 grenades. Explore the other end of the hallway to find 2 automatic pistol clips and a gold door. Return to the entrance where you entered the hallway and find the two switches surrounded by gold stone. Pull the switch on the left to open two doors in the centre room which releases 3 Inuit warriors. Watch the scene as they kill the goon with the gun.
Pull the switch on the right to open the wooden door. Enter the central room and pick up the large medikit which releases one of the ape creatures. Climb back up into the hallway to shoot the ape. Get out the M16 for the sniper high up in the room: stand in the entrance to the room and wait until Lara catches the sniper in her gun sights then shoot away (take care not to hit the Inuit!). The ape had to come from somewhere, so go back down to the far end of the hall where you found the closed gold door earlier - it's now open. Explore the hallway beyond the gold door and find 2 Uzi clips.
Find the entrance to another jungle section and slide down the ramp. Take a simple jump to the tree branch, and then take a long running jump to the tree branch on the far side with the wooden bridge below. Pick up a box of flares, and then take a long running jump back to the previous tree branch. Walk along the branch and look for a high rope bridge on the left. Take a standing jump grab to the rope bridge and climb up. Light a flare and walk on the bridge until you find a climbing ladder on your right. Jump across and grab, then go down the ladder to the bottom at the base of the trees.
Just before the bottom back flip to land on a leafy ledge. Look around and you'll see some grenades lying in the molten gold. Carefully jump so you land on the grenades - Lara won't burn as long as she stays in the square they're on. Pick 'em up and jump back to the leafy ledge then take a standing jump and grab back to the climbing ladder. Take a standing jump grab to the climbing ladder and climb up. Just before the top of the ladder pause and wait until the two apes in the tree tops are a reasonable distance away from you. Now hop up onto the branch and immediately blow the 2 apes away. Without the grenade launcher, they are very hard to kill and will send Lara to her death many times by pushing her off the edge.
Explore the top of the tree tops and pick up a small medikit by the ladder, 2 pistol clips by the second skeleton and 2 M16 clips at the other end of the treetops, near a deep hole. Find the climbing ladder by the skeleton and climb down to a tree branch to pick up a small medikit. Climb back up the ladder to the tree tops. Jump over the gap to the end of the tree tops above the gold slide. Light a flare, and do a simple jump to the gold slide, so that you start sliding down it backwards. Slide down the first gold section of the slide, then the second, but as Lara lands on the third section (green), jump away. You'll land on another gold slide going down in the opposite direction and in the dark...
Pick up 2 shotgun shells at the bottom of the slide. You now need to make a diagonal long running jump and turn in the air to land on a gold ledge between two tree trunks on your right. Head along the golden path to your right. You'll hear trapdoors opening and closing nearby - you want to drop down the first one you come across, but it's timed so jump for it when it's open (if it closes before you've gone down, return to the previous section of the golden path and try again). Find the climbing ladder at the end of the corridor and climb up until Lara is just above the earth coloured ledge on her right. Now do a backwards jump from the ladder to a ledge behind you. Jump grab to the ledge on Lara's left and climb up.
1.
A valley of molten lava with molten gold waterfalls awaits you. Take a step
off the ledge and slide down the ramp to the ledge near the waterfall. Take
a long running jump across the waterfall. Now turn nearly 90 degrees left
and look down the slope for a flatter ledge between where you are standing
and the gold river coming from the right. Do a simple jump from the middle
of your current ledge below. Do another simple jump from the middle of this
ledge to the lower flat ledge near the molten gold river. Now you need to
do a long running jump to a higher flat ledge across the river and slightly
to the right of where you are. Take the jump from the right hand edge of the
ledge you're on, aiming for the left hand edge of the target.
Turn right and stand in the top left-hand corner and jump to the flat ledge near the bottom of the waterfall. From here, walk Lara into the corner of the ledge facing the next waterfall to her left. Turn her so that she faces the grey rocky ledge high on the wall and take a simple jump to a higher flat ledge on the slope, then a long running jump to the flat ledge near the next waterfall. Finally, take a long running jump while turning in the air into the Waterfall (aiming for the section that's inset). The gold panel explodes and you find yourself in a secret cave behind the falls. The trick here is to look at the ceiling. Safe blocks on the floor have solid gold on the ceiling above.
Walk inside the cave, pick up the box of flares and shoot the snow leopard that comes bounding in from your right. Turn around and look for a solid gold ceiling panel in the ceiling opposite the earth coloured cave exit. Take a long running jump to the far wall underneath this panel. Look left to see Secret #3 - the gold skull and take a long running jump to retrieve it. Return to the centre of the room. Exit the room through the earth coloured exit, picking up the small medikit on your way. Climb up the steps to return to the gold waterfall room.
2.
Slide down the ramp straight ahead. Take a long running jump across the waterfall
and climb up the block ahead. Use a jump grab to the ledge on your left and
climb up to the earth coloured area with some small alcoves. Look through
the window to see the hallway around the central room. Then slide down the
opening on the far right to end back up at the bottom of the gold slide in
the jungle (you will lose some health). Walk down the gold walkway avoiding
the trap doors. As you approach the second one an ape rushes at you from the
jungle. Take it out and then jump to the first opening in the trees on the
left. Kill another ape and go around a tree to pick up some shells while avoiding
a nasty spike pit.
Find the opening to the next tree room, kill another ape and pick up a small medikit. In the third tree room, find 2 Uzi clips and another spike pit. Return to the gold walkway and climb up a couple of blocks to the Climbing ladder. Climb up the ladder and note another one across the molten gold to your right. Ignore it and walk along the path to the large rock cavern. Enter the cave and kill 2 snow leopards. Find the small room in the cave around to the left and pick up 4 M16 clips and a large medikit. Ignore the tempting trapdoor that opens outside the cave and instead continue down the cave and shoot another snow leopard.
When you reach a cliff with many climbing ladders, climb
up it and explore the double doors on the right. Through the doors, notice
a deep pit with a switch on the other side. Return to the area above the climbing
ladders. Place the Golden Mask of Tornarsuk in the receptacle and look out
as all hell breaks loose. It is your friend the Bird Monster from the
Ignore the pickups unless you're really good and escape from the Bird Monster's clutches by jumping and running round him. Get down the hill in front of the monster and hang a right to head over the new golden bridge to the switch. Don't pull it until the monster is breathing down your neck (there's no point in sending him crashing into the pit), but when he is, pull the lever and hop back over the edge of the pit (safety drop preferably, but Lara won't die if she's got plenty of health). Pick up the large medikit from an alcove and walk through the spikes to the other side of the pit.
3.
Climb up the ladder and you can kill the Bird Monster at your leisure. It's
the end of the game! But if you've collected all the secrets there's a surprise
in store... Check out Nightmare in Vegas.
