Nothing like a vacation in the Russian northland during winter. This is based on a real naval sub yard in Northern
Russia near Finland on the Berants Sea. Home of famous Minsk nuclear sub that sank in the North Sea last summer.

After sliding down a vent shaft, Lara finds herself entering a huge dimly lit warehouse and loading area, full of stacked cargo containers. As she enters, a warning siren sounds and a red light flashes around the walls. The overhead crane then starts to move towards Lara. If you stay close to the walls, the crane returns to its central position. If you walk out, the crane moves towards you. You can see its shadow on the floor. If it stops, the boom winch unlocks & freefalls, killing Lara.

Along the far wall, under the control room, there's a metal locker that Lara can open. Inside the locker is a silver key. This key opens a door on the other side of the warehouse, behind a high stack of containers. All the other doors have electronic locks which require a swipe card to open. Open the door with the key and climb around the stairs. Draw your pistols as you reach the top. 2 Armed guards are in the control room at the end of the hall and start shooting at Lara as she approaches.
|
 |
You can take out both guards by shooting through the windows to the control room. Once they die, one guard drops a swipe card. The cabinet inside the control room has Uzis which will come in handy later. Return to the main warehouse floor area and go to the overhead door to the far right (same wall as the cabinet). [Use] the swipe card to release the electronic lock and climb the stairs. Go to the upper walkway where the balcony has broken away. Time for some quick run-jumps.
|
 |
From the balcony, run-jump to the containers on the right. The crane starts to move right away. Jump back from the container to avoid being hit, then jump to the containers in the middle. Climb the single wooden crate, then run-jump to the far crates by the other balcony. Climb the single crate then run-jump and grab the balcony. Pull-up and catch your breath. Walk around the balcony, to the steel door, and press the button on the wall. As you enter the room, a movie seqence starts.

 |
After over-powering the guard who was controlling the crane, Lara moves the crane to another door and rips it off its hinges exposing a long rail tunnel. Clean-out all the lockers, push the switch that opens the door and return to the main warehouse floor. There is another overhead door with an electronic lock along the far wall. [Use] the swipe card again. Take out the German Sheppard that runs out after you, shoot the hanging grate and retrieve the 1ST SECRET ROSE down the air vent.
|
 |
Now we explore the rail tunnel where the crane ripped the doors off the hinges. Keep a gun drawn at all times, preferably the Uzis. 2 snipers come out and ambush Lara as she approaches the end of the tunnel. There is a locked door up on the right and a hallway with stairs on the left. Once Lara climbs the stairs, you come outside to the cargo dock area where the nuclear sub is moored. Cool snow effects. You can almost feel the cold. Watch out for the sniper that starts firing.

 |
To the left is another mag lock door. Using the swipe card, open the door and take out the German Sheppard. On the floor of the generator room, is a silver key. Around the back of the room, you'll notice 2 panels, each holding 3 large fuses (look like tubes). One fuse is missing. You'll need to find the fuse, and install it, to activate the generator. Double back to the rail tunnel and go up the stairs on the other side. Use the silver key to open the door then watch the movie sequence.

From the 2nd storey, go to the right and run jump across all the ledges to the vary end. Pick up the ammo and the laser sight, then safety drop to the ground level. Using the mag card, open the door and enter the change room.
Draw your weapons and peg the German Sheppard that comes out from the shower area. Search all 6 lockers and grab all the ammo, the Desert Eagle and a fuse. There's a button at the end of the hall that opens the door back to the rail tunnel. Go to the showers.
|
 |
In the back corner of the shower area, there's a grate in the floor. Pull open the grate. Swim down the tunnel and turn right at the *T* junction. This is a very long swim down a series of tunnels that twist and turn up and down. At the end, there's a small metal shed with the 2ND SECRET ROSE. Swim back to the shower area, go through the small door and return to the room with the fans. Note the sniper fire from overhead. Install the fuse. The generator starts and the fans start to turn.
|
 |
As you walk around the room, another German Sheppard jumps out. Take care of him and go in the little hall that is now open. Push the button on the far wall. This moves the boom on the crane, positioning the crate halfway between the dock and the sub.. Hmm.. A place to jump to the sub perhaps. As you enter the dock area, 2 snipers starts pegging away at Lara. From the crate, use the Desert Eagle and the Laser sight. Aim for the shadow through the hole in the 2 upper windows.
|
After the shooting, take a med-pack and restore Lara's health. Climb the train car with the crate. From the top of the crate, run/jump to the crate on the crane boom then run/jump again to the sub. A movie sequence begins LEVEL ENDS.
