Level 5

Temple of Karnak

Lara, that crazy woman driver, slides to a stop and gets out of the jeep.

Note that she glances skyward at two of the pillars.

Jeep side of the wall:

Nothing to do here, so climb over the wall into the courtyard with the blue light obelisk (tall pillar) between the buildings.

Obelisk Courtyard:

Pick up the small medi-pack by the obelisk.

Building with three openings:

Enter the centre opening and climb up and over a short block. Drop down to the grey floor and walk into another room Drop down to a lower level and look for a crawl space. Crawl through the crawl space to Secret #1!  Start shooting because this hall is filled with scorpions. First run around to clear out the 4 or 5 scorpions. Jump and shoot the vase in the corner and pick up the blue shotgun shells. Jump and shoot the 4 vases in the hall and pick up flares, Uzi clips, blue shotgun shells and a large medi-pack.

Return to the crawl space and climb out.

Building with three openings top of building:

From the central opening, use the short block to get to the top of the building. Jump around and pick up a small medi-pack, Uzi clips and blue shotgun shells.

Before you leave, go out to the edge and face the obelisk. Look on the roof of the building with the pillars to spy some goodies. Take a long running jump to the ledge on the left and turn your jump while in the air with the arrow keys. Now take a long running jump to the shorter block by the building with pillars. Now a diagonal jump with grab to the ledge with the goodies. Pick up blue shotgun shells.

Building with pillars:

Enter the building with the pillars. Something sure has Lara's attention near the ceiling. Start climbing up to the top of the building in the first room. Jump over the gaps to the far end and find Uzi Clips and some red shot gun shells on the far side. Stick Lara's hands in the holes in the walls to open the metal doors. Pick up the Shotgun and Canopic Jar 1.

A cut scene follows.

Building with pillars- deep pool of water:

Swim to the bottom of the deep pool and pick up some flares. Go back up for air. Swim back down through the opening in the deep pool and find the door. Use the action key to open the door. Swim through the door and look near the ceiling for an opening to get some air.

Climb up and pick up some Uzi clips and normal cross bow ammo Secret #2 After Lara is charged back up with air, swim some more and go in the direction opposite of the door.

Look for a small crack in the wall. Swim through the crack and pick up Secret #3 - a quiver of cross bow ammo, blue shotgun shells, a large medi-pack and Uzi clips. Return back to the deep pool, then back to the courtyard with the obelisk.

Temple Ruins:

From the courtyard with the obelisk (tall pillar), climb over the wall into the ruins. First explore the right side. Climb up on the high block where you climb through the wall, then take a long running jump to the high blocks on the right side. Look around and pick up some goodies.  With your back to the courtyard, start exploring the ruins on the left side.

Kill a scorpion, then climb on some blocks. Hop over the gap and pick up some flares in the corner. Drop down into the lower tunnel and enter the room with two pits and a stairs in the centre. (Note you can also get here from the right side of the temple ruins.)

Room with two pits and a staircase in the centre:

As soon as you climb out of the low tunnel, go and stand on the short block near the pit. Look at the nearby wall near the ceiling and you will see a high crawlspace between the first two pillars. Climb up into the crawlspace for Secret #4 and pick up 2 sets of Uzi clips and flares.  Drop down into the pits and shoot the scorpions. Climb down the pit on the right side killing the scorpion and pick up a small medi-pack. 

Doesn't seem to be any way to get across the room. Aha, look at the ceiling above the pits for some monkey bars. Swing over to the other side and drop down. Shoot a scorpion or two, then press the button in the centre of the wall. This opens the door on the other side of the room and releases another scorpion.  Make your way across the room, and put your hand through the hole behind the now open door.

Lara turns something which lowers the suspended bowl at the bottom of the stairs. (I would be very nervous sticking my hand in a little hole perfect for nesting scorpions and spiders, but Lara doesn't seem to mind.) Lower yourself through the hole at the bottom of the stairs and take a small hit on health as you drop to the floor below.

Room with bowl and pool of water:

The bowl has been placed between two pipes.  Pick up the large medi-pack on the block. Go into the other room with the swimming pool and you can find a small medi-pack, red shotgun shells and Uzi clips under the right ledge of the pool. Because of the currents Lara cannot do much more.  There appear to be two receptacles in the door ways on either side of the bowl.

Try putting your Canopic Jar in one of the receptacles. If one receptacle does not work, try the other receptacle which opens a door in the room with the pillars. (This drove me nuts for several hours because I tried one receptacle which did not work and I did not try the other.)

Find the high crawlspace in the room with the bowl and make your up to the top.  (Use Action + Up arrow, then add the Crawl key to climb up to the crawl space.) Pick up some flares in a dark alcove on the way to the top.

You will need to jump over a ramp to the next crawlspace. Crawl through it, and lower yourself beside the building with the monkey bars.

Return to the building with the pillars.

Building with the pillars:

Continue into the building and go through the open door to exit the level.

Continue on to the Great Hypostyle Hall.

End of this part of the Level.
