A little bit about me :)
Well here we are, i know your only here to read my work but i felt like i
should put something here...in case your interested...or if your computers
slow and this takes a while to load up...you now have something to read :P
I'm Rachael and i will be your guide for this flight :P This is my first FAQ
*shock horror*. Reason for writing was because a.no one else had written
any at the time *feels special* and b. because for once us brits got a
game before the americans :P So it game me a chance before everyone started
writing a guide. I use this site all the time and after using countless
guides i felt it time to give something back to you all. Also i was on
exam leave from college so ive had several months of sitting doing nothing
and not finding a job:P shh...
I'm a huge gamer...spend (or as my dad calls it 'wastes') 80% of my free time
playing games. I wish i had something else to do but sadly games are the only
thing i can get my head around. I tell people this and they sit and look at me
like im weird...becuase im a girl..apparently girls and games shouldnt go.
Which is complete £$%^^&* frankly:P So to annoy my parents some more im
studying animation at university to hopefully one day get into the gaming
industry...its a long shot...but i love it :)
I play alot of games but i generally stick to RPG (huge fan of final fantasy
and Kingdom Hearts(Dont be put off by the disney characters, it actually works
really well! i promise) i love platform games like Ratchet and Clank, Jak and
Daxter!!!.Action/adventure (i guess im putting Tomb raider in this part, if im
wrong dont hold it against me:P) and im getting into Halo and Half Life. But
enough about that, you here for Tomb Raider, right? So here we are and erm...
little bit about me and tomb raider...
Well i guess you could find me in the box named 'Tomb Raider Fans'.The first
game i ever played on was Tomb Raider 2 (with the exception of a Hercules
demo :P) and even then i didnt dare play more than the manor...needless to
say i became an expert at the training course..but as far as game play went
i was too young and scared that i might kill her.It was extremes like running
out of the room when i couldnt make her surface in a pool of water:P dont be
harsh, i was only 9 at the time. Then eventually i grew to play each game as
they were released.
I loved the story within the original, it was fantastic, and although i only
really fully played it a few years ago, i grew used to the blocky graphics.
(Considering i was playing PS2 games at the same time:P)When i heard they
were making a remake i was a bit 'ooo' not sure kind of thing.Remakes are
never good, but then i thought, this is Tomb Raider, it WILL be fantastic.
The second game, and everyones personal favourite. I've lost my copy and i
so badly want to replay it again! The third game was also really good and
i loved the way we could control the direction the game was going a little
bit. Revelation..hmm..its a good game but theres something missing from it.
Maybe its just me, i still loved it in the way i loved all the Tomb Raider
games, but...hmm...though saying that its probably the one TR i play the
most. Chronicles was good but i only really wanted to know whether she had
died or not! Then the long wait for the next gen game..and a damn long
wait it was too! Now most people really didnt like AOD...but if im honest
...i didnt see the problem. True, it was short, controls were appaling
and graphics werent amazing really. But i still liked it at the time,
albeit a few parts were ..well crap really:P Then another seriously
LONG wait for legend. I loved this game at the time but it only occured
to me, when i was fighting the final boss, that it was the end of the
game. I had rented this game for 3 days and completed in 1 and half.
I would have traded the fantastic graphics for more levels and a longer
game.
So enough ranting, here we are, Lara in her last game before she high
flies to next gen. I sit and look on game sites waiting eagerly for
Underworld to come out.It looks truely amazing and i wish i wasnt such
a poor uni student so i could afford a next gen console to play it on
when it finally comes out.But enough now, im not here to go on about
whats happened (although if you want to i could go on alll day:P)
or whats going to happen with our favourite heroine. So here you are,
a guide through a fantastic game. I'm here to help, through the good
times and the bad.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction to the game
Lara’s back in an almost new adventure :P As a fantastic way to celebrate her
10th birthday, we are blessed with a remake of the game that started it all.
Its great for players who didn’t get a chance to see her first time round,
and also for those die hard fans.
Journey back to Lara's past as she is hired by the owner of Natla industries
to aquire the long lost Scion of Atlantis. Travel through Peru,Greece,Egypt
and the Lost World to uncove the truth behind it all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATES - List of the stuff ive recently added, check here to see whats new :)
12/10/08 (for the easily confused, ive had a couple of people referencing
my guide to the wrong date. The date i use is the BRITISH way of writting
the date(quite obviously because i am in fact British)...typical picky me
...but just so you know :P
-yet again im still amazed to find things need altering here...and even
more amazed that something so obvious hadnt been noticed earlier.
Crocodiles have been added to the "enemy list", thanks go to D.L
for noticing it was missing.
-Over the past few months a few emails have arrived mentioning little
details that could be corrected...so while ive got an hour with nothing
to do...ive read through the guide and corrected, most, if not all of
the teeny tiny mistakes.
-Bad language.Please dont send me emails full of bad and dirty
language.its sad and pathetic that you have nothing better to do.
Also, if you give me some advise and i include it in my guide, i
will edit (*** it out:P) out bad language.dont take offence but
i know younger users read this guide and i dont want any angry
parents emailing me to say they arent impressed with their 8 year
old child had learned a new word :P if you find that ive used it
in my guide please let me know. ive tried to be good and bad words
occasionally slip in :P
-Note on contacting*
*The email address given is only for emailing me. Ive had countless adds on
messenger that i can only assume are from you guys because no one else knows
it:P im flattered, really, but if you want to say hi,talk about games or
something, email me. Dont email me to say youve added me on messenger
becuase i dont use it. Thank you :)

Other useful controls
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grappling and wall running
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it just me, or is this game slowly turning into prince of Persia?
Hmm…anyway…grappling is the same as legend. When the grapple is
available
to use, a Square hint icon will appear (isn’t that nice?) run in the
direction of the grapple hook and quickly press Square to latch on.
To move up and down the line, hold triangle and use up/down on the analog
stick. Now wall running is a new technique, which allows Lara to show off
some more. Connecting is the same as grappling (though some people find it
hard to get the hang of it at first). Once connected you can move up and
down (like before). To run, press the analog stick in the direction she is
running, when you reach you destination press the cross button to jump off.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pole techniques
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lara can shimmy and swing along a pole to get to her desired destination.
Use the left analog stick to move Lara across the role, or to start her
swinging. Press the cross button to jump off, but remember to time your
jumps carefully. To let go of a pole, press Circle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Column traversal
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use the left analog stick to move Lara up and down the column, or to
shimmy around it. Use the cross button to jump off at any point but
remember to aim: P also, something new, Lara can now balance on top of
columns. Use the left anaog stick to turn Lara, and push the cross button
and up on the analog to make her jump. Lara will start to loose her
balance if left on a column for too long, to counter act this, press
triangle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rope work
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ropes are used in the same way you move whilst your grappling hook is
connected; push forwards to start swinging… press circle
to let go of the rope.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ladders
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lara can move up and down a ladder (as if that wasn’t obvious).
Use the left analog stick to move her, pressing triangle repeatedly will
make her move quicker, and pressing circle will cause her to let go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swan dives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a necessary technique you need, but it looks good really good when
diving from a high point. Whilst running, press cross for Lara to jump,
then immediately press circle. This can be a little tricky to master,
so go get some practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knockdown recovery
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Lara is hit by an enemy, it may cause her to fall down. When timed
right (as she starts to stumble) quickly press the cross button for her
to jump back up before the enemy can start attacking you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tumbling
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just to make us all feel bad, Lara can show off her tumbling and acrobatic
techniques. Quickly tap circle to make her to do various tumbles. Pressing
the cross button repeatedly will make her back flip and stuff. These
buttons can be combined to make a really fancy sequence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adrenaline Dodge
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first, I thought what the hell? But I quite like this move, and one
your going to have to learn for certain aspects of the game. During combat
some enemies will go into ‘rage’ mode, when this happens they
will charge
towards you. The screen will blur except for you and the enemy, a hint
icon will appear telling you to dodge roll (move the analog stick left/
right and press circle). If done correctly, time will slow down, and two
cross hairs will appear. As soon as they come together, press the trigger
button to complete the headshot (the cross hair will turn red and it does
make a ‘click’ sound, so use this to your advantage). Timing is
critical,
if not done correctly Lara will get knocked down by the enemy, with a
little practice, you should get the hang of it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Collectables
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small medi pack |Fills 25% of Lara’s health bar
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Large medi pack |Completely restores Lara’s health bar
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Dual pistols    |Lara’s trademark weapons, comes with unlimited ammo.
|Although they may lack in attack power compared to other
|weapons, they are an overall good weapon.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Shotgun         |High damaging weapon but only really does damage at close
|range.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Dual .05 Caliber|Deals more damage than normal pistols,
pistols         |but fires at a slower rate.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Dual mini SMGs  |Weapon of the gods :P ok, maybe not. But there damn good.
|High damage at high speed. Just keep an eye on your ammo
|count, these guys will get though your supply.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Shotgun,50      |Self-explanatory really.All three can be collected before
caliber and SMG    |Lara obtains the actual weapon.
ammo            |
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Grappling hook  |small…metal…grappling hook. What else do you need
to know?
|Allows Lara to get to difficult areas she can’t reach by
|foot.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Journal         |If your stuck in an area, check the journal and Lara will give
|you a small clue. Nothing useful like ‘climb the hidden ledge,
|three steps from the right’ kinda thing, but you get the idea.
----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------
Collectables    |Keys, machinery, tools etc. all found throughout the game.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Scion fragments |Again, self-explanatory really. They are…fragments of the
|scion: P Bet you didnt see that coming...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rewards
Throughout Lara's adventure there are various Artefacts and Relics to be
discovered and collected. Picking up these items open up bonus content
and extra features such as outfits,concept art and lots more! So make
sure Lara scours the environment thoroughly.
After each level is complete you will be notified to which reward(s)
you have managed to unlock. Selecting 'rewards' from the main menu will
allow you to view and select the rewards you have achieved.
Tip:Selecting the Replay Level option from the game menu will allow
you to replay completed missions and collect missed items. Please
see the 'Rewards and extra stuff' for more information.

[06]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enemy List (in order you will encounter them)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bats            |Easy kill,couple of pistol shots will take them down
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Wolves          |Although not very strong they often come in packs to make
|up for this. Keep moving to avoid being knocked down.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Bears           |My,what big teeth you have. Take a fair few shots to take
|down,use a stronger weapon or use the adrenaline dodge for
|an easy kill.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Raptors         |Come in packs of three or four, fast, furious and a pain. Kill
|them and make use of higher ledges to avoid their attacks.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Rats            |Rat sized (unlike the original..which featured rats the
|size of your average dog:P) like the bats, they are easy
|to kill, a few simple pistol shots will do the trick.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Gorrilla's      |Arent they supposed to be the most gentle of the primapes?
|Either way, they dont like you and wont stand for letting you
|hang around (and im not talking about a simple 'wave-my-arse-
|in your-face-to-get-you-to-stop-looking' kind of way :P)
|in my opinion they hold the same strength as the bears.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Lion's          |I am fully aware they are actually lioness's but its easier to
|write.Fast like the wolves with the strength of the bears,
|charming.Kill them with a strong weapon before you turn up
|as lunch.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
|These badboys can be a real pain. There fast and lethal
|and if your not keeping a eye on them they can easily
Crocodile       |overwhelm you. Keep moving and rolling left/right to
|dodge their attacks.As always, the trusty shotgun works
|great against these guys.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Panther         |The same as the lions (sorry, lioness's) except black...like a
|panther..makes sence i suppose:P
----------------|--------------------------------------------------------
Mummy           |Sadly they wont give you a plaster to give you when you cut
|yourself..neither will they bake you cookies. Not too
|pleased you stumble on their homes they will bounce around
|like a kangeroo, swiping with their claws or firing balls of
|flame. Keep moving to avoid their attacks and you should be
|fine.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Centaur         |Technically these come before panthers but as a regular enemy
|they are in the right order :P so ner. Have the same attacks
|really as the mummies,they like to throw fire balls at you
|for small damage...and then charge when things dont go their
|way. Make sure to kill them quickly to avoid using up your
|supply of medipacks. A nice head shot is usually the quickest
|way of dealing with these guys.
----------------|---------------------------------------------------------
Flying demon    |Not really sure what they are so will stick with 'flying
|demon'.To be honest they are just like the mummies but
|with wings. You usually fight them on ledges high above
|the ground, which can be fatal when they attack with their
|flame ball and knock you off.Better deal with them
|sooner...rather than later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOSSES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
T-REX           |Well its a tyrannosaurus rex...big..green lizard:P Well he's
|doubled in size since the original and that makes him even
|tougher. You must keep moving to avoid his attacks and watch
|out for his tail.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Centaur         |Different to the regular ones you find but just as much of a
|pain in arse. With a combination of turning you to stone and
|charging at you you'll do well to learn the secret to killing
|them quickly.
----------------|----------------------------------------------------------
Giant Mutant    |Not really sure what it is...two arms dragging a large mass of
|a body. Fairly easy to avoid its attacks and easy to take care
|of once you know its attack pattern.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You said in the walkthrough that you didn't know what the Giant Mutant was so
I thought I'd let you know that it's a giant version of the very annoying
monsters who pop out of the eggs, but It hasn't formed fully because Lara took
the scion and that took away the power to the pyramid, causing it to hatch
early.I call him Hugh Jass :-P
Info from ~scutterman~
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Boss       |I'm not saying what 'it' is because i dont want to ruin the
|suprise for some people who may not know. Again its just a
|trial and error approach. Go into this battle with a few
|health packs, learn their attack pattern and your set for
|victory.

Peru                        _____________________________________
Level One – Mountain Caves |Artefacts-3 Relics-1 Time Trial- 6:00|
-------------------------------------
After the movie sequence, you finally get control of Lara. This bit is
really an intro to the level, just to guide you along the main abilities
you will need to use throughout the game. If youve played Legend then you
will be familiar to the majority of the controls. If your new, try the
croft manor level to get yourself used to the various moves. First off,
run straight ahead to the ledge on the wall and grab on, shimmy right
all the way to make your first wall jump. Time it correctly and make it
to the other side, carry on shimmying until you are able to jump off
to the ledge behind you. You should see another ledge available for
you to jump onto, make your way onto it and climb up the wall using
the ledges to guide you. Time to use your grapple; the little square
icon should pop up when faced in the right direction (just in case you
get a little lost). Run, jump and quickly press square to connect your
grapple to the hook. Start swinging and jump off when she has gained
enough momentum.
Well done, congratulate yourself if you like. Wander over to your
‘guide’,
he doesn’t have much to say so carry on. To his
left…no…your left…you know
what I mean, will be a snowy ramp (highly convenient) run up it and jump
off to grab the platform. To your right will be another grapping hook, so
grapple away and make it to the other side. As you land you should notice
some ledges on the wall, climb on, and make your way to the top. Press the
button and another movie sequence takes place.
Dammit, now you’re stuck. Luckily you’ve got me to get you
through the
caves. See, how nice I am? I could be playing away but no, I’m sat doing
this. You can thank me later. Right, follow the path and DO NOT tread on
the floor panel. What? You did? You never listen do you? Carry on going
and you’ll be faced with…*drum roll* darts! (If you turn to face
the way
you came, there are some ledges to reach the top of the structure, at the
top there are 2 levers to turn the darts off). If your feeling a little
daring you can avoid them using rolls, jumps and general fancy moves. The
first couple can be avoided by crawling/crouching…whatever you want to
call it; the last few need careful timing so that you make it through.
Once past the trap, if you can call it that, you will see an opening in
the wall in front of you.To get up there, head on into the next room, up
the stairs and follow the path around.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artefact 1
Before heading onto the ledge on the left, turn around to face the way you
just came. Climb on the ledge above you, head to the end and jump to the
next one. Head round the right and jump to grab the edge of a passage.
Head through this and jump to the next ledge, jump off the slope to grab
the opposite ledge. Climb up and collect the artefact. Drop down and head
back to where you were.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Climb onto the ledge, and shimmy around until you can pull yourself up.
Wasn’t too difficult was it? Pull out your guns, its time for your first
kill. As you move along, three bats will jump out…well fly out. Kill them
all, poor buggers and carry on through the path. You will come to a large
pit; watch out as a couple more bats will try and take your soul! Ok…was
a little OTT, either way, kill them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artefact 2
The slope in front of you allows you to gain the next artefact. Slide down
and jump, when the grapple icon appears quickly grapple. Climb up the
grapple and find the ledge in front of you, swing and jump to it. Shimmy
left and jump to grab the ledge above you, lean back and grab the one
behind you. Drop down to the one below you then head right, once you reach
the end, jump to grab the ledge behind you. Climb up and collect the
artefact. To get back down, hang from the ledge and drop down to the ground.
Kill the two bats that appear.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the hole and drop down, at the end, pull the lever, and head on
through the doorway. Now, if you played the original, you will all
recognise this area…oh the memories. Anyway, follow the path and head
over to the rope bridge. As you make your way…it will break. If you
hadn’t
noticed already, two wolves will be hovering around beneath you (there not
literally hovering…though the the imagery of a wolf sitting on a hovercraft
does come to mind...ahem...). As your first proper battle, it can over whelm
you, just keep mashing the trigger button, make sure to keep moving and
you’ll be fine. The second half of the bridge is climbable so make your way
up and follow the trail out of this room. Enter onto magical pillar room,
to your left is another pit with a rope for you to jump across. If you
happen to fall down, be prepared to fight a bear. Now, it will be a little
tougher than the wolf battle as you don’t really have a lot of
room…and
only your pistols to kill it with. Keep moving and eventually he will die.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artefact 3
To make your way back up you can use the ledges however, that means
missing out on the last artefact. Head into the alcove the bear was in
before you lured him out. Pull the switch to open the door (I think its
on a timer but I’m not sure) head on through, drop to the lower ledge and
collect the artefact. Drop down to the room below and you’ll find yourself
back where you fought the wolves. Head back to the bear pit and swing
across.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once across head down the stairs carry on until you reach another pit.
This one fortunately, contains no bears. Use the pole to swing across and
make your way out of the room. Again you will be faced with darts, roll
across, dodging them as best you can. Nice, big, fancy doors awaits you.
Sadly, it’s locked. Fear not, two levers are scattered around to help out.
To the left will be some ledges for you to make your way up, once at the top
ignore the ledges in front of you and kill the wolf that comes out from
the doorway to your left. Make your way through and turn left, swing
across the poles and as you land on the other side, quickly dispose of
the two wolves that appear. Run through here and climb the ledges at the
far wall, jump back onto the pole and allow it to move. Once in position,
swing and grab the lever. As you pull it down, one of the locks becomes
released. One more to go. Drop down to where the big door is,
make your way back up the ledges (where you went originally) and climb
up the ledges in front of you (the ones I told you not to go up before).
Climb up, shimmy along and jump onto the second lever. The door is now
accessible. Drop down, back to the door and stand on the pressure pad.
Assuming you didn’t take too long pulling the second lever, the door
should open. However, if you decided to take a detour or went to make a
coffee, you may find the constant "ticking" has gone and you'll need to
repeat the above steps to pull the levers again.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relic – Killer Whale Bottle
To get this, you need to head back to where you pulled the first lever.
Once your there you need to climb onto the ledges like before, this
time, when you land on the pole, you need to jump straight off to grab
the crevice on the left. This can be a little tricky, just keep trying.
Shimmy left and at the end jump to reach the pole. Swing to the small
ledge in front of you, jump up, then jump to the pole behind you. Swing
across and grab the ledge, climb up and collect the relic. To get back,
use the same way you came, when you reach the last pole, drop to the
ground and head through the door.

Level Two – City Of Vilcabamba  |Artefacts-1 Relics-0 Time Trial- 7:00|
-------------------------------------
Continue through the door and head up the steps. Be careful as you go
along as you will have another encounter with a bear and also your first
chance to perform the adrenaline dodge. Take care as there isnt alot of
room to move around in. When he's dead carry on until you reach a large
pit with two columns. Jump onto the one nearest to you, slide down
and drop to the floor, near by will be a ledge for you to climb. Jump
up to the next ledge and jump onto the column behind you. Turn to face
the way you came in, climb up a bit and jump backwards to the platform.
Carry on through the doors and eventually you will see the village.
Make your way down the steps on your left, when you reach the cave
area, pull out your weapons and kill the two wolves lurking in
there. As you exit this cave, you will enter the village itself,
as you move forward a bear will come out. After a couple of shots
he will enter ‘rage’ mode and charge towards you. When the on
screen icon
appears quickly dodge roll, then when the cross hair’s join and turn red,
press R1 to fire your weapon. If done correctly you will have completed
your first headshot. Well done. You can check out the area if you wish,
there isn’t a lot to be done here so head into the water. Find the
underwater tunnel and swim through, remember to keep pressing triangle to
make her swim faster. At the end pull the lever; allowing you to surface
and get some much needed air. Climb out and head up the stairs, jump
across the gap (keep the jump button pressed to make her jump further, its
quite a long jump.) As you enter the next room, the wooden planks will
collapse. Damn. Find the gate and shoot the lock (you will most likely
need to enter manual aim mode) don’t go through the gate yet, it only
leads back to the village. In a hole nearby, is a moveable box, move it
out the way so you can access the room behind. At the back of the room,
collect the shotgun shells, and in the little alcove to the left, pick up
the Village Key. Now make your way back to the village. Bring the box with
you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Artefact
Position the box next to the column back in the village; the column should
be opposite the stairs you used to enter this area originally. Climb onto
the column, at the top jump off to the platform and kill 2 bats. Jump to
the pole and swing across to the ledge in front. Climb up and grapple the
hook, swing across and jump to grab the small ledge on the other side.
Shimmy left, jump up and grab the pole, jump to the next one and finally
grab the top of the waterfall. Another 2 bats will come out, so kill them
and collect the artefact. Jump to the nearby roof and slide down.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the village find the lock and use the village key you picked up
earlier. Pull out your weapons and prepare for some quick moves, head in
a little to lure out some wolves (they will literally jump out at you so
be quick and keep dodging them.) When they are dead, enter the next room,
another wolf will come out from the far corner. The big shiny door in
front of you is sealed by two locks; three guesses where the other two
doors lead. It doesn’t matter which order you do them, so for the hell of
it, enter the left door first. You will find yourself in a large room,
lots of ledges and a nice big swimming pool should you fall and want a
softer landing. Head up the stairs and start climbing, the layout is
simple so make your way to the top. Your final jump requires you to jump
to a platform behind you, as Lara lands she will not catch it properly and
you will be taught how to use ‘recover’, press triangle and she
will grab
the edge with both hands. Run along the path and beware as two bats fly up
in front of you. Once dead, jump over the gap, and then jump to the pole
to activate the first lever. Drop down and carefully make your way to
ground floor. Head through the right hand door and you will find yourself
in a room similar to the other. Follow the same procedure and make your
way to the top, kill the bats in the next room and jump onto the pole to
open the door. See? Wasn’t too difficult was it? Enter the next area and
jump onto the ledge with the ramp, slide down and jump grab to the pole,
swing across to the column. Push forwards and jump to make it off safely.
At the next pit, jump to grab the ledge and lower yourself to the floor,
run to the other end, find the ledge on the wall and climb on. Jump back
to the pole behind you, swing across and land on the opposite ledge. Make
your way to the wooden platform, but be careful as you climb up, and there
are darts flying across. Once on the ledge, turn around, jump to land on
the top of the column, jump across and follow the path to reach the end
of the level.

Level Three – The Lost Valley  |Artefacts-2 Relics-1 Time Trial- 15:00|
--------------------------------------
Now this level is quite long compared to the previous two, but its also a
damn good level :P you’ll see what I mean later on. As you enter, admire
the pretty waterfall and the serenity of the surroundings. How nice,
peaceful and calm. Time to mash things up, let’s start with a bit of wolf
killing shall we? Drop down and two wolves will come out from there little
cave, if you get a chance to do a head shot, do it. You’re going to need
the practice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret
Dive into the pool of water and locate the underwater tunnel, swim through,
climb out and collect the small medi-pack
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ignore the ladder for now, you’ll be back later to explore
up there. For now, head up the rocks and collect Cog number 1. Follow the
ledges and cracks to make your way up to the top of the waterfall. Resist
all urges to swan dive into the pool and follow the path to the left, jump
across the broken bridge and land on the other side. On the right hand
wall are some nicely placed ledges for you to climb up and then jump to
the platform behind you. Enter manual aim mode and shoot the rope, climb
on the ledge, shimmy around and jump to the pole behind you. Swing across;
follow the path, making a U turn. Run, jump and pull out your grapple to
swing across, land on the platform. Find the ledge on the back right wall
and climb up, jump across the gap and enter the little area. Cross the
rope bridge and locate the second cog nearby, as soon as you pick it up,
