Level 23

Chambers of Tulan

Turbo boost:

I could not get this to work on this level. (No Nitrous Oxide).

From City of the Dead

Wild Ride:

Save your game and take a wild ride through the level running over soldiers and dodging nasty bugs. Once that is out of your system, reload the saved game and start exploring.

Building by large gate (beginning):

From City of Death, drive through the gate and down the road. At the Tee, take a right and run over the soldier, then turn around and park by the building. Get off the bike and take out the sniper on top of the building down the street. Use the revolver with the laser sight. Enter the building (before the pit). Use the flares trick to explore. Save your game, and then explore using all the flares you want to locate everything, then reload your saved game and pick up the goodies. On the west or left side of the central chamber, find a grenade gun (more ammo) in an alcove near the entrance.

Find a medi-pack on the east or right side of the chamber (far from the entrance). Go back to the entrance to the building and find high blocks near the doorway. Do a jump grab to climb up, then take a long running jump with grab to the ledge on the other side of the room (west side).

Chamber of Tulan: Central chamber - high on the ledges:

From the ledge where you enter the central chamber. Look to the left and take a long running jump with grab to the crack in the wall. Shimmy until you can pull up on the ledge. Now take a standing jump with grab to a climbing ladder on the pillar that supports the central walkway.

Climb around the corners of the pillar and drop down on the other side.  Follow the ledge until it goes into a tunnel in the corner of the chamber.  Jump grab and climb up at the end of the tunnel. Make your way out to the roof tops with the lever.

Chamber of Tulan: Central chamber - rooftops:

Push the lever which closes the doors on the bottom floor to the chamber. Now you are trapped. Walk to the right side of the roof and take a long running jump to the ledge on the left wall. Do a simple jump to the ledge by the rope. Now a long running jump with grab to the rope, slide down to the bottom of the rope, line up a swing to the ledge on the opposite side of the ledge you jumped from. Use the Dash key to swing and add the Jump key at the top of your swing. Land on the ledge. Secret #1!

OOPS, until you hear bug noises. A mean looking wasp is sitting on the floor. Shoot it and then turn around because another wasp is coming from the chamber. Pick up a large medi-pack and blue shotgun shells. Take a long running jump to the lower ledge on the left.

Repeat the trip back to the rope.

This time, use the rope to swing to the ledge on the South side of the chamber. Shoot the soldier who is waiting for you. Pick up some revolver ammo and a large medi-pack. Drop down into the hole in the floor and slide down the ramp back outside the building.

Bike and deep pit:

Get on the bike and drive over the pit on the left side of the road.  Nothing seems to be in the pit. Stop after the pit and run down the road to shoot the wasp and explore.

Opening by jump ramp:

Climb up into the opening in the wall by the bike jump ramp. Climb down the ladder and open the black door with the Action key. Shoot the soldier waiting in the room. Now you cannot open the door with the military symbols.

Ledge above the road tunnel:

Continue walking down the road. Before you take a right down the road that leads into a tunnel, stop and get off. This is near the other entrance to the building with the rope. Look above the tunnel and see a ledge.  Do a jump grab to the blue black awnings, shimmy over and climb up on the ledge. Follow the tunnel until you reach Secret #2.  Pick up flares, revolver ammo, crossbow ammo and a large medi-pack.

Behind Chamber of Tulan - The Minotaur:

Near the road tunnel near one, climb over a short ledge and follow the path to behind the building. You meet up with the Minotaur. He is a nasty fellow and will not let you finish turning the wheel lever.  Remember the switch at the top of the Chamber of Tulan which closed the doors to the chamber, you need to trap the Minotaur in the chamber.

First, drive the motorbike back to the entrance to the Chamber of Tulan with the ramp in the wall which you slid down earlier. You can get the motorbike over the deep pit by staying along the left wall. (It would be a shame to do all of the climbing and jumping and then find out that you cannot get across the deep pit without the motorbike.) Now go and visit the Minotaur by taking the route through the Chamber of Tulan and then running back behind the building.

Lure him into the Chamber of Tulan, and then find the ledges near the door by the road back to City of Death. Repeat the journey to the rooftops and to the switch.

Keep a saved game or two, in case you mess up. Repeat the long running jump to the ledge by the rope, swing to the other end of the chamber, drop in the hole in the floor, and slide down the ramp. Get on the bike and jump over the pit by the left wall. Stop at the other end of the building.

Run using the Dash key on the road behind the building. Turn the wheel lever to open the door nearby. Run through the now open door and escape the Minotaur. You are not done yet, immediately do a jump grab to the climbing ladder and climb up to the high ledge before the Minotaur starts banging on the ground outside the door. This will keep knocking you down from the ladder.

Reach the top and make your way to the Citadel Gate level.

If the Minotaur knocks you off of the ladder. 

Approach the ladder then side step to the right as far as you can go, Lara's legs will dangle. Then climb up, the Minotaur has NO effect on your climbing...  You can climb to top without being knocked off.

Go to Citadel Gate
