|
Run forward and drop down to the ground. Run forward toward the
wounded soldier sitting on the ledge ahead. Turn right and vault up
onto the ledge. Lara kneels beside the wounded soldier and leans close to examine his wounds and see if he's still alive. He opens his eyes with a start and exclaims, "What in God's name has happened here? Where are the rest of my men?" Lara finds that there isn't much she can do for him. She leans back and answers, "I banged into a couple of them. They appeared to have sealed off all of the exits." The soldier heaves a sigh and mutters, "Yes, yes... This, this is good. You must help us to... to... to..." He coughs and labors to breath, but manages to continue, "...to liberate the city." "I am just here for directions", Lara tells him, dismissing his plea for help. "I need a route to the Citadel," she explains while stepping away from him. The sergeant is disappointed, "This is not so good. This is where the main activity takes place." "Activity?" Lara asks. Her curiosity obviously stimulated. "We encountered it as the skies began to darken," the sergeant explains. "A creature of our ancient past. It tore through my men like a firestorm." He draws a deep breath to continue, "I managed to station an ammunition truck before the beast... Had a mind to ignite the explosive device in the area, but with renewed vigor, it forced us back. It was as if it knew of our plans. "Beast or no beast, Sarge," Lara replies bitterly. "I've got to get in that building," she adds forcefully. Lara hops off the ledge, anxious to move on and turns back to the sergeant. The sergeant is impressed by her perseverance and tells her so, "You have spirit. Perhaps..." He considers the situation and tells her , "As we retreated, we had mined some of the streets to prevent contamination. Two of my men are still in the area. Out of the northern cemetery. One of them holds the frequency for the mine detector. The other holds the second half of the code for the explosive device." Lara is intrigued by the plan that seems to be forming and asks, "And if I find them?" The soldier reveals the rest of his plan, "Tell them that Sergeant Azizas sent you. I heard your motorbike. Once you have the codes, take me on it to the ammunition truck. I shall eradicate the blockage. But hurry! I am not long of this world." Lara nods and turns to go.(follow plot) Turn around and step forward and pick up the box of revolver ammunition (1). Run down the street and turn right. Follow the street forward, then angle to the right and step out into an open courtyard. A huge fire-breathing armored dragon1 will emerge from a hole in the ground and take its position in front of the hole. Opposite the dragon is the ammunition truck that Sergeant Azizas mentioned earlier. Quickly turn left and run down the cloister and pick up a small Medi Pack (2) and a box of normal grenades (3). Lara can pause in the safety of this corner. Turn around and have Lara make her way along the ledge with the pillars. Just before she passes the ledge, crouch down and wait for the dragon to launch a couple of fireballs. While the dragon is recharging for another blast, quickly stand up, run past the ledge, turn left and cross in front of the dragon. Enter the archway to the south, and follow the street as it winds to the left and back to the right. A swarm of locusts may swarm around Lara. If this happens, just keep moving until they disperse. Locusts will attack each time Lara hears the dragon's screeching cries. Continue down the street and turn right. Angle Lara to the left and take a running jump up onto a ledge to the west. Run forward, dropping to the ground beyond the ledge, and a approach the crawlspace ahead. A crocodile (1) will emerge from the crawlspace. Reverse roll and run back to the ledge. Take a running jump onto the ledge, turn around, draw pistols and kill the crocodile. Drop to the ground and run toward the crawlspace again. Just before Lara reaches the crawlspace, a second crocodile (2) will appear. Again, reverse roll and retreat to the safety of the low ledge to kill the second crocodile with pistols. When both crocodiles are dead, drop to the ground and run forward to the crawlspace. Crouch down and crawl into the crawlspace and pick up a quiver full of poison crossbow bolts (4). Turn left and pick up a box of ammunition for the revolver (5). Crawl back out of the crawlspace and stand up. Run forward and about halfway down the alley, turn left and vault up onto the ledge. Look down at the markings on the two monuments below and then look up at the two panels high up on the northern wall. One of the panels will be obstructed by a rickety wooden balcony. Arm Lara with the crossbow equipped with lasersight and explosive arrows and blast the balcony, so that it falls out of the way. Use the binoculars to get a good look at the two panels. The panels show four symbols, each of which has been assigned a number equivalent to the number of vertical bars. Look down at the two stone monuments below. They bear the same symbols as on the panel above. Step forward to drop to the floor. As Lara drops to the floor, she will get an aerial view of this area. Step forward and turn left. Run forward between the two monuments. Above is a ledge with an alcove that houses a lever. Above the lever is a marking with four vertical bars. To the right are three more levers, with one, two and three vertical bars identifying each lever respectively. The markings on the panel indicates all four levers must be pulled to move both monuments. Run to the step to the left and below the ledge. Turn right and jump up and grab the ledge. Pull up and turn left. Enter the alcove and pull the lever identified by four vertical bars. Reverse roll and run forward to drop to the ground. Turn left and run to the northern side of this chamber. Pull each of the remaining three levers from the one marked with one vertical bar to the lever marked with three vertical bars. When Lara pulls the second and third levers, the two monuments will slide to one side, revealing hidden passages below. Reverse roll and take a standing jump over the closest hole and drop into the hole further to the south. Turn left and run to the end of the passage. Use the crowbar to activate the switch to open a doorway in the other tunnel. Reverse roll and run to the end of the tunnel. Turn right and climb out of the tunnel. Run forward and drop into the other hole. Turn right and run to the end of the tunnel, through the newly opened door. Throw the lever to open a panel on the eastern wall above. A swarm of locusts will enter the tunnel. Quickly reverse roll and run to the end of the tunnel. Reverse roll again, take a standing jump, and grab the edge of the hole. Pull up and angle Lara to the right. Draw pistols and step into the opening. Hop backwards, out of the opening, and kill two bats (3, 4) that will flutter out of the opening. When the bats are dead, enter the opening and turn left. Run up the ramp and turn left. Continue forward, and draw pistols again. Another swarm of locusts will attack, but they will disperse when Lara steps out onto the ledge. Lara will get a panoramic view of the area above the chamber. Kill two more bats (5, 6) that will attack from ahead. When the bats are dead, take a running jump and grab onto the rope. |

SECRET #1
|
Slide Lara to the bottom of the rope and rotate Lara so that she is
facing the bell closest to the broken wooden balcony. Swing Lara
toward the wooden balcony and wait until she wraps her legs around the
rope again. Swing forward once more, and then leap off the rope and
attempt to grab the ledge with the bell. This will adjust Lara's
trajectory and cause her to land on the ledge below the bell. Hop backwards and grab onto the ledge. Release and grab the crawlspace below the ledge. Pull up into a crouched position, into SECRET #1. Crawl forward and turn around. Have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace and turn around again. Step forward and pick up a large Medi Pack (6). Step forward and collect a quiver full of explosive crossbow bolts (7). Reverse roll, run forward, and grab the crawlspace. Pull up into a crouched position, and crawl forward. Turn around and have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace. Release, reverse roll and run forward. Turn left to reenter the tunnel. Follow the tunnel as it spirals up to the left three times. A swarm of locusts will attack as Lara nears the top of the tunnel, so quickly take a running jump and grab onto the rope. The locusts should disperse fairly quickly. |

Swing straight across the open area and leap off the rope onto a small
wooden platform on the building across the alley. Turn left and walk
forward to the edge of the platform. Side step to the left until Lara
is at the corner of the platform and take a standing jump down to a
striped awning. Walk forward across the awning. When Lara reaches the other side of the awning, angle Lara to the left and take a standing jump up to the platform ahead. Immediately reverse roll and draw the shotgun and kill a giant scarab (7) that will attack from behind. When it's dead, turn around and angle Lara to the left. Take a running jump across to the next striped awning ahead. Turn right, back up to the wall, and take a standing jump and grab onto the ladder on the wall of the opposite building. Climb down and then shift to the left until Lara climbs around the corner of the building. Release to drop to a ledge below. Reverse roll and take a running jump across the street to a platform above on the building across the street. Immediately reverse roll and draw the shotgun to kill another giant scarab (8) that will attack from behind. Walk forward to the edge of the platform and angle Lara to the left. Take a standing jump and grab onto the bars overhead and quickly swing forward as another giant scarab (9) attacks. Release when Lara reaches the end of the overhead bars and grab onto the crevice below. Quickly shimmy to the left and release when Lara is over the wooden platform. Draw the shotgun and blow away the scarab that has been taking nips at Lara. Turn around and pull up into the crawlspace into a crouched position and take a small Medi Pack (8). Back out of the crawlspace and have Lara lower herself down to the ledge below. Reverse roll and walk forward to the end of the platform. Turn right and take a standing jump down to a striped awning on the building across the street. Turn right and walk forward to the other side of the awning. Take a running jump and grab onto the small opening below the wooden balcony ahead. Follow the tunnel as it kinks to the left and then turns right and angles downward. Draw pistols as Lara nears the end of the opening and kill a bat (10) that fluttering around below to the right. Angle Lara sharply to the right and locate the street beyond the deep pit with the overturned Jeep. Draw the shotgun and take a running jump to the street. Immediately kill two giant scarabs (11, 12) that will attack. |

Nitrous Oxide Canister
|
Step around the overturned Jeep and pick up a nitrous oxide
canister2 (9). Step back around the Jeep and walk back to
the south until Lara reaches the edge of the deep pit. Angle Lara to
the left, sidestepping to the left as necessary, and take a running
jump over the pit to the higher side of the street ahead. Lara will
land on the steep sloping street and slide backwards. Turn right and run forward, up the street, to the south. At the end of the street, turn left and run forward down the next street. Follow the street as it turns to the left. Run forward to the end of the street and turn left. At the end of the street, loop around to the right, and then turn left twice. Take a standing jump up onto the ledge ahead3, and pull up into a crouched position into the crawlspace ahead. Swarms of locusts will attack mercilessly, so Lara may need to heal herself as she goes. Turn left and quickly crawl backwards and have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace. Reverse roll, and step forward to pick up the canister of flares (10). Run forward, sliding down the tunnel, and pick up a quiver full of explosive crossbow bolts (11) and a large Medi Pack (12). Draw pistols and run forward.

Turn left and run down the street, to escape the swarms of locusts. Angle Lara to the right, and then turn left to return to where Sergeant Azizas is lying. As Lara approaches Sergeant Azizas he will tell her, "Your bike will need modifications to clear some of the larger obstacles. Nitrous Oxide connected to the carburetor should give you the extra punch. Go! Bring me the codes!"(follow plot) Vault up onto the ledge that Sergeant Azizas is lying on, and run forward to drop off the other side. Turn left and run forward along the wall and climb up into the tunnel in the wall above. Run forward to return to Tulun. |
