Lara finds herself in a large pillared 2-storey chamber with 12 doors. Each door leads to more and more rooms where there are new puzzles, secrets and artifacts. There are new assassins and deadlier elementals everywhere. Best to check every room you can first, to find out what's inside. THIS LEVEL IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE!!
|
 |
The first door on the left opens up to the fire-scroll room. Inside are 2 armored guards who are very very hard to kill. On the chest of their armor, are blue gems which when hit, the guard will let out a grunt. Maneuver around the room, keep pegging away at them, use a med-pack if you have to, and they will eventually fall. The fire-scroll on the pedestal is transparent and unreachable right now but you can get it later. The next room on the left has moving blades and a rope. Slide down quickly to the bottom, walk across, climb up the 2nd rope.
|
 |
Inside the room with the big gears, take out the armored guard, then remove the star artifact from the far wall using your crowbar. Down the right gear-well, are secrets, Back-jump down the ladder to the pit. The 2 back rooms with dangling chains lead to more gear rooms with 2 trapdoors. Come back later. In the main gear room, climb the left pillar ladder and go through the passage from the upper ledge. Slide down the rope. Inside the next room with the brass pipes, are 2 more armored guards. Take them out and note a golden gate on the left with a receptacle.
|
 |
The gate on the left needs the horesman artifact which you can get by going down the hall down the ladder to the next room and pegging the guard off the horse then finally on foot after he dismounts. This is not easy. Make sure the horse does not pin you in a corner. Use med-packs as needed to get close to the rider. Side flip when the horse charges you. There is a secret ledge in the far room where you can peg him from safety. Use the horseman artifact and open the golden gate. Inside, pull the chain, opening a gate underwater.
|
 |
Make your way back to the big gear room floor and then to the room on the right with the golden swinging chains. Standing at one side, use action to open the trap door by the gear. Down inside, there are a series of long passages underwater leading to a big flooded room and the opened gate. In the middle of the ceiling there is a grate which is an air-pocket to recharge Lara's breathing. Through the opened gate you'll find 2 more star artifacts. Use the crowbar. Swim back to the gear room, back through the 2 rooms with the blades, to the hall.
|
 |
The last door on the right leads to a magical planetarium. The floor looks like our solar system with dark circles in concentric orbit rings. Being that this was an ancient civilization, the earth was considered to be the center of the universe. Knowing this, move the earth pedestal to the very center circle. A glowing orb will appear above the earth pedestal. On each wall, are templates for the 3 star artifacts which when used, will open a nearby door to access a planet pedestal. Once the planets are all positioned properly, a blue electric arc opens a passageway.
|
 |
Down the passageway, shoot the vases, collect the goodies, and open the door back to the main hall. No need to go back in just yet. Down the hall to the right, is the 7-serpent room. Another interesting puzzle. Each serpent lever lights the 2 statues on the opposite points of the star. Work from the entrance, counter clockwise until all 7 serpents are lit. A fire elemental will appear as well as climbing blocks in the middle of the room. Quickly jump the blocks and pull up into a hallway. Run up the stairs and jump in the pool. The elemental will explode in the water.
|
 |
Make sure you are at full health all the time when running from the fire elemental. At 100%, the elemental will only injure you. At or below 50%, it will torch you and Lara dies. The next 2 rooms are the true libraries. Note all the scrolls on the floor and in the wall cases. Climb the ladder in the first room to get the med-pack. Climb down again. Off to one side is a vase with goodies. Down that hall is the larger library and an access door to the upper balcony level of the main entrance hall. Out on the balcony, turn left first, to open the harp room. Cross to the other side.
|
 |
Inside the first door on the right, there is slide ramp down into the lion's head room. Watch out for boulders coming down the ramp. Take out the armored guard. Pull the wall switch from halfway up the ramp. Climb the blocks, jump to the wall then up the alcove. Run-jump to to the top of the lion's head and pull the rope. From here, go backwards down the nose of the lion, then do 2 hang-drops to the mouth. It is wide enough to crawl through to the pole in the back. Up the pole, there are 2 golden gates that open. Go through the gate on the right first.
|
 |
Open the trap door in the floor. Grab the Pharos Pillar artifact first and draw out the fire elemental. Climb down the ladder quickly, watching your health, and sprint to the pool down the hall. Jump in and wait for the elemental. Out in the lower level, 2 more fire elementals come out to challenge you. Again run to the pool and wait. Backtrack up the ladder to the
other golden gate. In the next room to the left pick up the torch on the floor, stand on the grate to light the pedestal, then light the torch. Be careful. Don't get close. Go to the wooden floor and torch it.
|
Drop down to the lower level, Lara stares at the music scrolls. Grab them and return to the main hall. Make your way back to the harp room, which is on the upper level. Go back through the 7-serpent room, through the library up top, out to the balcony. Open all the other doors. All 12 should now be open. Enter the harp room, place the music scrolls on the stand and Lara plays the harp. This opens a secret passageway behind one of the scroll-cases. Go through the hallway to the secret small balcony. Pull the chain and the big blue doors open. Return to the lower level and go through the doors. Level ends.. THANK GOD !!
