Run forward and Lara will find her friend, Jean-Yves tied to a
ceremonial altar. Jean-Yves is relieved to see Lara, "Thank God you made it!" He immediately begins to relay his experiences, "Von Croy... I saw it myself. I would not have believed such a thing. He is possessed of Set." Lara quickly unties him and commands him to leave, "Get out of here, Jean. I have a feeling that things may turn nasty." Jean-Yves is quite ready to follow her instructions, but first he gives her the rest of his information, "He is digging under the Citadel into the Crusaders' vaults in search of the ceremonial tablet. The tablet which contains Set's binding incantations. Be careful, Lara." Jean-Yves gives Lara an embrace and expresses his concern, "I fear there are things in the vaults man was not meant to see." "I am not a man, Jean," Lara replies slyly. "And I am always very, very careful," Lara tells him very deliberately. Elsewhere, Von Croy sifts through the sand on the ground as one of his assassins stands guard. He finds his objective and brushing the sand away from a stone tablet. His eyes glow an unearthly red. "We have it," Von Croy hisses. "The ancient Ceremonial tablet." Von Croy straightens up and commands the assassin, "Take it and prepare it, and see if the Croft woman has arrived with our armor." The assassin quickly scoops up the tablet and hurries off. Von Croy produces the Amulet of Horus from his pocket and places it in a receptacle on the wall. The amulet spins in its receptacle as a large stone door opens. With a wave of his hands, he awakens two skeletal knights.(follow plot) Run forward to the striated stone altar ahead and turn left.

Reverse roll and draw the Uzis and run forward into the next tunnel. A mercenary will run up a ramp and take a position beside a lever on a higher ledge. If the mercenary (1) happens to take a position near the edge of the platform, it may be possible for Lara to take him out with the Uzis, otherwise, just ignore him for now. Lara will just have to deal with him later. |

Rotate Lara to the right and run diagonally across the room to the southwest corner of the room and pick up a box of super grenades (12). Now return to the center of the room and inspect the pattern on the floor and the patterns on the four pedestals. Lara must place each pedestal onto the appropriate circle on the floor of the chamber. Reverse roll and run forward to the pedestal with the letter 'W' on it which is more or less in the middle of the room. Stand to the south of the pedestal and pull it once.

Pull the handle on the ceiling of the underwater chamber which will close off the trapdoor that Lara just dropped through. Swim to the floor of this underwater chamber to grab a small Medi Pack (14). Quickly swim back into the tunnel that Lara just swam through, and follow it as it turns to the left. Surface in the airspace below the, now closed, trapdoor and let Lara catch her breath.

the corner, until Lara cannot shimmy any further. Release and grab
the crawlspace below. Pull up into a crouched position and crawl forward. When Lara reaches the end of the crawlspace, turn left and have Lara lower herself out of the crawlspace. Reverse roll and run forward. Take a standing jump over the steep slope and run forward. Climb up onto the ledge ahead, which is SECRET #2. Above is a room guarded by two more undead crusaders (9, 10) and several items. Wait patiently as the crusaders shuffle around. When the coast is clear, pull up, step forward, grab an item and drop back to the safety of the ledge. Repeat this procedure to pick up a quiver explosive crossbow bolts (20), a box of flash grenades (21), a large Medi Pack (22), revolver ammo (23), and wideshot shells (24). After grabbing the shells, quickly rush forward and slide down the ramp, back to the wider chamber and drop into the pit that is lit by torches. |

Run to the north end through the doorway into a room lit by green
light to find Von Croy. Lara steps forward and finds Von Croy waiting for her. His eyes are red and his pupils a sickly yellow. Von Croy's eyes do nothing for his sallow complexion. Lara gasps at the sight. Von Croy is surrounded by four adorned jackals. Von Croy hisses to Lara, "Come in, Lara. I have been expecting you. Come to me, child. Do not fear your old colleague. I merely require the armor that you hold in your possession." Lara doesn't trust him for a minute and asks, "And in return?" "I will grant you vigor as those around you fall," Von Croy offers. "You shall command the ultimate power: that of life or death over those you choose at your side and in return they will bow at your feet and give worship." "Got my fair share of that already," Lara shoots back sweetly. She casts a subtle glance to the side and notices the Amulet of Horos and casually backs away, before continuing, "And besides, give a jackal your hand and he'll bite off the whole arm." Lara dashes for the amulet, and yanks it from it's receptacle, which causes the stone door to drop, trapping Von Croy and the jackals behind the door. "Barking mad," Lara spits. Lara climbs to an open archway of the Citadel, overlooking a pool. She dives out of the window into the pool.(follow plot) |
