After swinging over the idle waterwheel, Lara starts to climb up the rock canyon. After climbing up the first rock shaft, climb out in the cave and find the stone ladder along the back wall. Climb all the way up and look left. Lean left. Jump and grab the wall crack. Leap to the next wall crack, then left along the next wall. Find the see-through ladder and climb all the way to the top. Up top, there's a long dry water channel and a large open room. |
 |
Load the assault rifle. Watch for a leopard roaming around in the lower area. If you can, lock-on to him from the upper walkway and take him down. Jump down to the lower area. You don't need the raft just now, but it will come in handy later. Go to the far wall. Climb the broken stairs and walk to the far side. Find bronze reward 4/5. Walk back behind the broken stone wall and climb the boulders, til you're level with the hanging stone blocks. |
 |
Jump to the first stone block. As you walk over the top of the block it will start to drop slowly (like on a balance scale). The next hanging block to start to rise at the same rate you are dropping. When the blocks are at equal hieght, jump to the next block. As it continues to move up from the momentum, Jump to the stone ladder and pull up to the stone ledge. Load the RAD binoculars. Look around the area. Remember the mechanisms. |
 |
Walk to the other end of the ledge. Lara can dive into the water directly from here. No need for a safety drop from the ladder. Look first to the 'X' (left photo) Dive into the water and swim to this area. Climb out of the water and walk up the broken steps. Behind the rubbble find silver reward 2/4. Swim back between the columns and find the raft hugging the right wall. You'll find it hard to swim (there's a slight current). Use [triangle] to swim faster. |
 |
Jump to the raft. Look to the columns for sparkle points. Use your grapple and pull the raft towards the column. Release the grapple and let the raft drift in the water through the opening in the wall towards the waterfall. Find the next column with the grapple sparkle near the far wall. Use the grapple and pull the raft to the wall. Jump to the stone platform. The raft will drift away to a safe point just next to the waterfall. Find the stone wall ladder. |
 |
Climb to the top of the ladder. Now Lara has to perform a blind back jump. Lean the controller in the direction of the block. Lara will jump to the hanging block. It starts to move down from Lara's weight. As the other block moves up, jump when the block is higher than the one you're on. Run to the end of the block and quickly grab the ledge and pull up. If you let go and fall, the block will crush Lara. Game will reset at last checkpoint. SAVE GAME. |
 |
Look to the left. Pick-up bronze reward 5/5. Look up. There's a grapple point high above the gap. Take a running jump. Use the grapple in mid-air. Swing across to the far platform. Locate the 2 stone columns with the edge cracks. Jump to the first column. Climb around to the other side, and drop on crack. Lean right. Grab the crack in the wall. Shimy across. Leap across the hole in the wall and grab the next crack. Shimy to the right. |
 |
Lean and jump to the upper stone platform. Load the RAD binoculars and sweep the area. The 2 stone pads are actually on gears and will swivel, end over end, when the mechanism is activated. The object is to open the 2 arms of the center statue and open the sluice gate. Stand on the pressure pad to see the mechanism work. The wooden crate will fall to the floor. Don't worry. This will be your drop point after you release the water. |
|
Jump over the first platform after it stops. Jump over the far stone platform, to the far stone ledge. Push the metal crate onto the pressure pad. A cut scene shows the platform swiveling and the right arm of the statue opening and locking into place. Now jump back to the center platform then over to the first platform where we started. Stand on the pressure pad. Wait for the statue arm to completely open before leaving the pad. Lara is now on a timer. Wait for the pad to tilt 180 degrees then jump and jump again to the center platform. |
 |
While the stone platform is spinning, load the grapple and pull the center ring from the statue. This will lock the 2 arms in an open position. [movie sequence begins] The giant gear mechanisms start to churn and the sluice gate slowly starts to open. The water from the lagoon rushes into the dry channel and starts to pour down the cavern. In the lower cave, the waterwheel starts to turn. |
 |
Climb down off the platform using the wooden crate that dropped. Jump in the water and go to the water channel. Pull up on either side of the now flowing water channel and find the ladder. Climb down the series of ladders back down to the lower cave. Take your time! At the end of the lower stone ladder, you'll be next to the moving waterwheel. Wait for a spear pole to pass by and jump to the spear. Turn around and go for a short ride. |
 |
Wait for the waterwheel to move the spear up the far side. Jump to the dangling rope. Shimy up the rope and swing across to the platform. The metal gate is now open. The spear trap in the hallway is working, all too well! Watch the cycles and quickly hop between each set of spears as they start to open. At the end of the hallway, turn left. A new set of traps. The spinning blades are deadly. Look for a wooden block. |
 |
Stand behind the block and push it in front of you. Push the block down the left side of the spinning blade hallway. DON'T GO DOWN THE MIDDLE! The blades wil backlash against the block and will injure or kill Lara. Leave the block close to the end with the blades jammed. Down the next hallway, another spinning blade trap. Find the movable block in a nearby wall. Pull it out and use it to pass the next set of spinning blades. |
 |
Go down the next hallway and then walk down the ramp. It's oddly quiet? [action sequence begins] As Lara walks down the hallway, a large boulder falls from the ceiling and starts to roll down the ramp. Follow the right button sequence and run from the boulder. If you're successful, Lara jumps the spear pit and makes it outside. The boulder breaks through the archway and rolls over the ledge falling into the lagoon. |
