Run forward until the tunnel widens to a cave. Turn left, run forward
and pick up a pair of Uzi clips (1).
Reverse roll, angle Lara to the left to face southwest, and run
diagonally across the cave to pick up another pair of Uzi clips (2). Reverse roll and run east until Lara reaches a flat rock ledge. Vault up onto the ledge and turn right. Climb up onto the rock ledge above. Reverse roll so that Lara is below a handle in the ceiling of the cave. Jump up and grab the handle and pull open the trapdoor. Turn left, walk forward to the edge of the rock ledge, and jump up and grab the edge of the opening above. Draw weapons and take aim on a giant scorpion (1) that will attack from between the rocks ahead. Hop backwards into the hole when the poisonous scorpion gets too close. Climb back up and repeat this procedure until the scorpion is dead. Run forward to the west, between the two rocks. Turn left and draw weapons and kill another giant scorpion (2) that will be attacking an Egyptian soldier (3). If Lara doesn't fire on the soldier, he won't fire back, but if the scorpion or Lara kills the soldier, then she can take a box of revolver ammo (3) that he was carrying. Reverse roll and return to the rocks that Lara just passed through. Turn left to face west and proceed forward to another clearing between the rocks. Turn right and pick up a large Medi Pack (4). Reverse roll, step forward and turn left. Run forward and turn left to find a deep pit. Walk along the left side of the pit until Lara is standing on a sandy triangular ledge. Take a running jump across the deep pit to another triangular ledge on the left side of the pit. Turn left, run forward, and turn right. Run forward between the two rocks and turn right once more. Draw powerful weapons, such as the shotgun, and proceed forward. Another giant scorpion (4) will attack. Kill it while retreating backwards. Walk to the deep pit between the rocks to the north, stand on the right side of the pit, and squarely face the flat ledge across the pit. Take a running jump across the pit and grab the edge of the flat sandy ledge on the other side of the pit. Across the pit a giant scorpion (5) will attack from the left and a giant scarab (6) will attack from the right. The easiest way to deal with these two enemies is to draw powerful weapons, such as the Uzis or the shotgun, turn left and charge the scorpion while firing. Take a running jump over the scorpion, reverse roll and continue to fire on which ever enemy is now closest while retreating backwards. Continue firing until both are dead. Now turn and face east. Run forward until Lara finds another deep pit. Carefully aim Lara at the sandy slope that slopes to the right. Take a running jump to the slope. Immediately leap off the steep slope to the south and Lara will land on another sloped ledge. Leap off of that surface and Lara will jump back across the pit to another sloped ledge. Leap off this last slope and Lara will safely land on a sandy ledge. Being careful not to run around, turn left and take a standing jump to clear the pit. Draw weapons and kill a giant scarab (7) that is sitting on the sand ahead1. Turn and face south and open the door. Draw the revolver and charge into the room. Run to the crushed table ahead and turn right. Run forward to the left side of a giant scorpion (8), turn right and then open fire on the body of the scorpion, being careful not to target the Egyptian soldier(9) it has in its pincers. Lara will critically wound it after five shots from the revolver. Lara uses her pistols to finish off the giant scorpion and then proceeds to examine the wounded soldier. The soldier is extremely grateful and exclaims, "Allah be praised. For a moment, I thought I was dead for sure. Please, for your own safety, take these keys and hide in the pyramid of Menkaure. Save yourself from these abominations!" He gives a ring of keys to Lara. |

Guards Keys & Armory Key |
Lara will now find that she is in possession of the guards keys (5) and the Armory Key (6). Now proceed to alcoves at each of the four
corners of this rectangular building to pick up a box of regular
shotgun shells (7), a small Medi Pack
(8), a box of wideshot shotgun shells
(9), and another small Medi Pack (10). Exit this building and turn left. Run forward, back to the pit that Lara bounced across earlier. When Lara reaches the pit, turn right and walk forward. Jump up and grab the edge of a sandy mound and shimmy to the left. Have Lara shimmy around the corner and continue shimmying to the left until Lara can proceed no further. Release from the sandy mount. Lara will land on a sandy slope and slide backward. Turn around and walk forward until Lara comes to a raised sloping stone block. Turn right and step up onto the stone block. Walk forward until Lara can proceed no further and turn left. Step forward until Lara is beside a less steeply sloped stone block. Turn right and vault up onto the stone block. Draw powerful weapons, such as the Uzis and turn left. Kill a giant scarab (10) that is sitting on the pyramid ahead. Angle Lara to the right and take a standing jump up to the ledge that the beetle was sitting on. Turn left and walk to the western side of this ledge. Walk to the edge of this facet of the pyramid, take a single step back, and then hop backward one hop. Draw powerful weapons, such as the Uzis, and take a running jump across a section of steeper slopes and Lara will slide down two levels on the pyramid and land on a wider less steep ledge. Turn right and open fire on another giant scarab (11) that will attack. When the scarab is dead, walk forward to the end of this facet on the pyramid, and turn right. Run forward and Lara will step up onto a smaller less steep ledge. Proceed forward and vault up to the ledge above. Angle Lara to the right and run forward to the upper part of this next ledge. Vault up on the right side of the ledge up to the ledge above. Run forward and vault up to the ledge above. Continue forward and vault up to the ledge above that. Angle Lara to the right and walk to the northeast corner of this ledge. Draw pistols and jump up and down and try to take aim on a giant scarab (12) that is buzzing around in the entryway ahead. Attempt to kill the beetle from here. Now turn and face east. Side step to the right until Lara is standing on the lower edge of this ledge. Take a single step backwards and then take a single hop backwards. Take a running jump forward across a section of steep slopes to land on a flat section. Turn left and run forward to the sealed iron door. Turn left and step forward to the lock. Use the guards keys on the lock to open the left side of the two doors. |

Take a running jump forward to the small less steeply sloped ledge ahead. Draw weapons, turn left and kill a giant scarab (13) that is sitting on a ledge above. Step forward and vault up to the ledge above. Angle Lara to the left and run diagonally across the slightly wide ledge and vault up on the left side to the ledge above. Angle Lara to the left, run diagonally the next ledge and vault up to the ledge above. Angle Lara to the left and take a diagonal standing jump up to the ledge above. Turn Lara to the left and take a standing jump to a flat ledge just east of the doorway. Pick up a small Medi Pack (11) Take a running jump across to the flat ledge to the west of the iron doors.
