After falling from the vent shaft, Lara is next to a crawlway leading out to a main corridor. You can hear footsteps. Stand still until the footsteps move away (this may take awhile). Best not to alarm the guard when you have no weapons.

As Lara crawls out to the hall, there's a security guard off to your right. He turns around right away and discovers you. Run left, down the hall towards the aquarium, while drawing the weapon fire from the guard. Lara will take some damage, but the gunfire will shatter the aquarium glass, revealing A SECRET ROSE in the back of the aquarium. Grab it, then run to the left past the vending machines up the steps. The guard won't follow. Restore your health to maximum and SAVE GAME.

You are now in the front lobby of Von Croy Industries. As you walk up the central ramp by the reflecting pool, music will start to play. There's danger ahead. As Lara approaches the top, the camera view goes passive to an overhead sniper zoom shot and Lara is under attack by a guard. Run past the desk to the left, to the far wall. Make sure to avoid going behind the desk. There's an infared laser barrier blocking the doors. The camera will go active as Lara finds refuge by the wall.
|
 |
Walk around the perimeter of the lobby. There's a set of wooden doors in the middle of large glass windows. To the left of the doors, is a series of climbable grates (they look like silver venetian blinds). Climb the frames to the 1st ledge. Look around the room. At the back of the wall over the desk area below, there's a push button switch that deactivates the laser barrier below. As you cross to the switch, the camera goes passive again and the sniper attacks. Watch your position as you run.

 |
Push the switch on the back wall, safety drop backwards to the desk below, then to the floor and run through the doors. On the left is a recessed door. Go in there and restore Lara's health. Out in the long hall, is another aquarium at the end. The floor is electrified. Run down the hall, and stand on the step just in front of the floor area. As you draw gunfire, from the guards that are now chasing you, the aquarium shatters and the floor short-circuits from the flooding water. You can now pass unharmed.

On the wall to the right, is a wall switch. Push it and go through the open doors. Run to the left. The doors will close automatically leaving the guards behind you, in the hallway. Zip cuts in and explains that the room is equipped with motion sensors and ceiling gun turrets. Lara has to be careful and [walk] through the room. All this while the guards are using a welding torch on the door. [Walk] across and push the button on the left wall. [Walk] across and push the button to the right.
|
 |
Run through the opened door before the ceiling gun turret starts, down the hall to the door on the right. Enter the teleport room. You can't do anything just yet, so go to the lit room on the left. Here there are seven floor cases. ONE holds the Teleporter Disc. The other ones hold bombs. You figure out which one! Once you have the Disc, return to the teleporter room to the video wall console by the entrance. [Use] the Teleporter Disc to activate the console and the mechanism.
|
 |
Walk up the circular steps and stand in the middle of the *X* on the platform. Face the banana-shaped receptacle. [Use] the iris artifact and watch. You can hear the generators accelerate. An electrical field builds around the iris and then explodes in a flash of light. Lara is instantly teleported to another room. Cool!! After you get your bearings straight, there's a hole in the floor off to the right. Drop through the hole to another vent. Walk slowly and approach the grate on the left.
|
 |
Zip pipes up and explains that the guard will reveal the access numbers if she uses her headset at full zoom. Watch the guard punch in the numbers 1-6-7-2 down in the hallway below. Go down the vent and before you crawl out wait for the guard to go away. Crawl out quickly and grab the chloroform on the floor. Run back and duck in the vent. Wait for the guard to do his routine again back through the door. This time crawl out and punch 1-6-7-2 in the keypad. [Walk] through the door.
|
 |
If the security guard moves before you can use the chloroform, run past him, and push the button on the pillar to the right. Let the guard fire away at you and use medpacks as needed. At the end of the room, is a crawlway lit in red. Quickly crawl through, climb the grate, and drop through the trapdoor into the reception area. Grab your HK sniper rifle still on the tray shelf on the far side of the room, and run through the x-ray hallway that you have now deactivated from security detection.
|
 |
Return to the far hall where you were once before. The infared laser barrier on the right is still active. Go to the left. Next to the security console is a recessed doorway. Using sniper mode with your newly repossessed HK assault rifle, blast the fire extinguisher. This explodes the doorway leading outside. As you walk through the door LEVEL ENDS.
