[movie sequence begins] Lara is now high in the mountains of Russia. She looks down at the military camp below and sees Amanda's mercenaries fighting the Russians soldiers. Lara says it time to "drop-in" and say hello. [action sequence] Not much to this really. Just let Lara freefall from the cliff and when she is nearly at the bottom, hit [triangle] to deploy her parcahute. She lands safely on a roof.
|
 |
Down below, there are several mercenaries patrolling the alley. Go to the turret gun and [interact]. Lara now sees a small poinpoint target ring (like R3 aim). Unlimited ammo is always a good feeling. Fire away. There are several mercenaries that come from the left and the right side, as well as from inside the building. Return fire is fairly accurate so watch your health, and kill those soldiers that are firing on you, first! Be ruthless! There are several explodable targets you can use.

 |
Before jumping down to get your goodies, there's a small detour to the right. Jump to the higher rooftop and look to the next roof ahead. There's a small wooden crate on the roof. Load your assualt rifle, pinpoint aim and fire 2-3 shots. The crate will split apart revealing bronze reward 1/5. Leap to the flagpole, swing and jump to the larger crates. Run out onto the roof and collect. The rewards for this level are strange orb-like things?
|
 |
More mercenaries have been alerted of your presence and come storming out of the barracks. Some are also trying to sniper you from inside the barracks. Watch for the red laser beams that try to lock on to you. Load the assault rifle. Don't worry about ammo at this point. You'll replenish shortly. Use up any nearby available explodable targets. Tossed hand grenades from the roof work well. Once the coast is clear, jump down and reload.
|
 |
Sweep the open area for any stragglers. With rifle loaded and cocked, walk inside the barracks. Go to the right. There's a small utility room next to the row of lockers. Inside go to the left. On the bottom shelf find bronze reward 2/5. Go back out and find the ladder on the support column. Climb the ladder up to the roof. There's a mercenary standing watch on a guard tower just ahead. Peg him!
|
 |
Jump over the glass window to the guard tower. You'll be spotted soon enough. Run down the ramp to the left to the next roof. Load the assault rifle again and take down the mercenaries. Watch for the guard on the turret machine gun. He has unlimited ammo. Take him down first, if you can. Use the explodable targets. Jump down to the road and finish the job if you feel vulnerable. Make sure you're on the right side of the fence.
|
 |
Once things are quiet and Lara is fully recharged with healthpacks and ammo, go to the infirmary (looks like a tool shed) and open the door. [movie sequence begins] Lara surprizes a mercenary and shoots him. 2 Russian soldiers held hostage are grateful but wonder what a woman is doing here? They have no idea Lara understands Russian and give her the access code to the gate.
|
 |
There's another firefight brewing outside as Lara leaves the infirmary. More mercenaries. Fight your way through the chaos and collect all the goodies they leave behind. Before going up to the gate, backtrack to the fenced-in compound to the left of the infirmary. Look for a stack of wooden crates between 2 larger crates. Blow apart the crates and walk through the hole in the fence. Blow apart the wooden crate inside for silver reward 1/3.
|
 |
Now go back and [interact] with the keypad next to the gate. The gate opens (no keying required). Inside, a guard is alerted of your presence and starts rolling flaming barrels down the road towards you. Use your assault rifle and peg the barrels as they come down. Some will be marked [triangles]. Fire away. If you can, get the guard up top to stop it.
|
 |
Go inside through the double doors. [movie sequence begins] Zip tells Lara this is the Command Center. There must be a map of where Amanda is working? Lara plays with the computers and presto! A train rail layout of where she probably is. Zip yells to Lara that the train is about to head-out. She better hurry. When gameplay returns, find the ladder leading up to the roof. Climb out.
|
 |
Jump and climb the ladder to the top of the communications tower. Look above you. Grab the cable and slide down the cable to the guard tower by the compound. Grab the next overhead cable and slide down to the rooftop, right where we first entered the base. Jump down to the road. Take care of all the mercenaries and then the 2 guards standing guard in the tunnel, when the train pulls out.
|
 |
Zip and Allister both keep yelling at Lara to hurry up. The train is getting away and she'll never catch-up in time. Pay no attention to them and pick-up all the goodies you can (including healthpacks!). Now jump on the Ducati that's there waiting for you, and speed off in to the tunnel down the train tracks.
