Black Isle

Labyrinth

Chapel:

Walk toward the iron door on the left behind the pew.

Cut scene:

A ghostly figure in a black robe passes through the wrought iron door. He turns the item at the end of the pew and the passes through the wall.

Go to the front of the Chapel Press the stone tiles in the following order, centre tile, left tile, then right tile.

Cut scene:

The pews at the back of the chapel move, and the wrought iron door to the crypt of the skeleton clutching a sword opens.

Beware! Several invisible skeletons are now in the chapel. Walk along the wall with the tiles to the container of sand. Take a left and walk along the wall to the second pew. Walk between the first and second pew, then take a right toward the back of the chapel and walk between the pillar and the pew on the left. Stay along the pew and carefully walk between the last two pews. Run past the last skeleton and into the crypt of the skeleton with the sword.

Crypt of the skeleton with the sword:

Enter the crypt and use the Action key on the Pew end knob at the end of the pew and collect the Bone Dust from the item. Pick up the small medi-pack near the skeleton with the sword. Return to the Chapel.

Chapel:

Walk next to the back pew and run past the skeleton. Go through the entrance between the two back pews and stay near the pew on the right. Pass between the pillar and the wall, then sneak between the first and second pews and make your way to the container of sand staying along the wall. Use the Action key to pour the Bone Dust into the sand to send the skeletons away and open the door near the stairs.

Door by stairs:

Enter the door by the stairs. Look up to see a high ledge. Jump grab to the ledge and climb up. Pull the switch down. Return to the chapel and enter the crypt with the skeleton. The door near the skeleton is now open. Enter the door and pick up a large medi-pack. Reach into the hole in the back wall and pick up Secret #1 - a gold rose. Return to the door near the stairs and slide down the ramp.

Room with hole in centre of the floor:

As soon as you can, drop over the edge, grab and drop down the hole and land in the water. Stay in the water until the bats have gone, then climb out.

Cut scene:

The ghostly figure in the black robe shows the way to escape the labyrinth.

The Labyrinth:

The trick to the Labyrinth is to keep track of the faces on the wall of the four stairwells and the face on the wall in the central rotating walkway room. You begin in the stairwell with the devil's face with horns.

Take the first entrance on your right as you climb up the ramp.

Devil's face stairwell:

Go to the bottom and enter the room with the rotating platforms. Notice the missing railing. From the walkway, take a long running jump with grab to the ledge on the left of the walkway. Shimmy to the left and around the corner. Climb up, then do a long running jump to the walkway with the three heads. Follow the cave and find Secret #2 - a gold rose.

Take a long running jump with grab back to the corner ledge. Shimmy to the right and climb up. Take a long running jump to the walkway with the devil's face.

Enter the central platform and flip the switch down to rotate the platforms.

(Second platform rotates to the stairwell with the spearman logo and rotates the third level platform to the devil's face logo.)

Two men fighting stairwell:

Enter the stairwell with the two men fighting logo. Go up to the second level and go out to the central platform (DO NOT push the lever). Run across the central platform and enter the spearman stairwell. (If you do push the lever on the second level platform, simply flip it back and it should return.)

Spearman stairwell:

Run up to the very top of the stairwell and crawl into the crawlspace at the end of the stairs. Pick up a small medi-pack. Enter the top level entrance to the rotating platforms. Pick up the Bestiary book, which opens a door across the gap. Take a long running jump across the gap, climb up and enter the door (three heads logo).

Three heads stairwell (from top platform):

Drop to the bottom of the new stairwell. Pick up a large medi-pack. A white light guides you on your way. Climb up on the ledge and take a simple jump to the higher ledge. Carefully walk up to the top. Take a diagonal standing jump with grab to the overhead monkey bars. Swing over above the crawlspace.

Release, then immediately press the Action key to drop to the crawlspace. Add the up arrow to climb into the crawlspace. Crawl through and safety drop over the edge. Do not drop into the spike pit, (hold down the action key) instead shimmy to the right and climb up into the crawlspace with Secret #3 - a gold rose. Return through the crawlspace and pit and drop to the floor.

Repeat the trip to the ledge below the monkey bars. Take a standing jump with grab to the ledge to the left of the monkey bars. Turn around and take a running jump to the ledge across the gap. Walk up to the top, save your game, and then slide down the ramp.

Maze with the nasty beast:

Follow the wooden walkway up to the maze. Avoid the first tunnel to the right. A frightful nasty beast emerges from the cave on the left and follows poor Lara through the maze. To get through the maze, follow the white lights and just keep making your way to the right and forward until you reach the ramp. Slide down the ramp

Room with coffins:

Pick up the large medi-pack and examine the coffin.

Cut scene:

Lara enters the coffin and slides to a ramp to land by Father Dunstan. Father Dunstan has been busy exorcising demons and seems a bit worse for wear as his hair has turned white. Lara asks him if the book she found would be helpful, but the Father says he would need coloured pencils for that, and he will instead rely on help from above. He scolds Lara about wandering about and threatens to put a chain on her. He finds a safe place and tells Lara to stay put. Lara mutters, "Stay put? Right."
