From the abyss, swim up the right wall. Swim way up to the top of the first stone terrace, by the 2 dragon statues. In the middle is an obelisk with another pull wheel. It's locked right now. This is the wheel that will unlock the drawbridge. First we have to find out how to unlock the bridge. Swim to the left to a higher stone terrace. Follow the carved viens running up the side of the tower. |
 |
There's an obelisk at the back of each vein. There are 2 on this side and 2 on the other side of the main tower. 4 in all. There is a red drawbridge stone on the ground next to the obelisk. Pick-up the stone and insert it into the cavity in the obelisk The carvings in the vien will start to glow bright red (as if it is powering up). Now we have to go find the other 3 stones. Swim down to the left, down to the lower terrace with the whale bones. |
 |
As you swim down and reach the skeleton, you'll see the glint of a goodie [X]. Pick-up the treasure. Swim up following the steps and go inside the tower through the archway. Swim down the hallway. The hall brnaches off to the right and to the left there's a cave-in. Swim straight through to the end with the ladder wall. Swim up til you reach an air pocket. Pull-up onto the stone floor. |

Go to the stone circle [2] and pick-up drawbridge stone #2. |
 |
Rather than climb all the way back down to the water, safety-drop over the edge of the small hole in the floor. If you look down, you'll have a straight fall to the water. LET GO! Lara will sceam on the way down, but splash in the water. No injury! Dive down to the main hallway. This time go left down the hallway. At the end, go right first. At the top of the steps by the cave-in, pick-up another treasure. |
|
Swim straight across to the hall with the ladder on the back wall. Swim all the way up the shaft. Turn around by the ceiling. There's another corridor leading out to a room with narrow window slots. In that far room, look for the stone circle in the floor to the right for drawbridge stone #3. Turn around. In the other corner of the room, pick-up another treasure. Swim back-out. Half-way look up. |
 |
There's another shaft leading up even further. Swim up and out to abother room with window slots. Pick-up another treasure. On the swim out, you'll see the glint of yet another goodie by the rock cave-in. Pick-up that treasure. Swim back down the shaft, back down to the main hallway, right and then to the exit back outside. Swim up to the obelisk terrace. Insert the 2nd drawbridge stone. [cut scene] The carved vein glows red. |
 |
About this time, you MAY ENCOUNTER ANOTHER SHARK! Be on the lookout. Swim across to the upper obelisk terrace on the other side of the main tower. You already have the 3rd stone, so go to the obelisk and insert the 3rd drawbridge stone. [cut scene] The carved vein will start to glow red. Right behind the obelisk [X] there's another treasure. Swim down to the right to the lower terrace. |
 |
Swim right down to the very bottom of the staircase first, then around the corner of the building on the right. There's a treasure lying in the sand. Swim back up following the steps and then swim into the right tower thru the archway. Swim right up the back shaft til you reach an airlock. Climb out. Kick the vase on the right [1] for a treasure. Climb the wall ladder to the top [2]. Lean right and jump. Shimy across the stone ledges [3]. |
 |
Pull-up and stand on the stone ledge [3]. Jump across the broken gap and grab the far ledge. Pull-up again. Side step your way to the back wall. Jump and grab the overhead beam. Pull-up on top. Balance and walk across the beam to the end. Jump to the stone wall ladder on the back wall. Climb up to the top [4]. From the top, Make a blind jump backwards and grab the edge of the upper stone floor. Pull up. |
 |
Go to the right first and kick the vases [5] for another treasure. Go to the circle in the floor [6] and grab drawbridge stone #4. Before jumping back down, turn around and look to the far side of the shaft on the left. Make sure your flashlight is on. Jump across to the small broken ledge and kick the vases for another treasure. Jump back across to the larger floor section and safety drop down. |
 |
Hanging onto the edge, position Lara so she is directly above the beam below [7] (tilt the camera up). Drop down to the beam. Balance and walk across the beam to the far wall. Turn left [8]. Jump to the wall eventhough there's nothing to grab. Lara will attempt to grab then fall all the way down to the water. (she'll scream but no injury). Swim back down then out the tower. Swim up to the obelisk terrace and insert the last drawbridge stone. |
 |
NOTE: Some walkthroughs are saying that more sharks appear. In my case, no sharks? BE PREPARED ANYWAY! Swim down from the obelisk terrace to the main terrace with the serpent statues. Go to the main obelisk and pull the wheel. [cut scene] The giant chains start to pull, down below, and the giant drawbridge starts down. It locks into place bridging the abyss. An interior hallway is revealed, leading into the fortress. |
 |
Swim down from the serpent terrace down to the drawbridge. If you haven't got all the treasures yet, now would be a good time. Be mindful that if haven't killed all the sharks from before, they may be lurking. Swim inside the main hall of the fortress. There are several cave-ins along the way. Look for the small cracks in the stone boulders that you can swim through. Look for treasures! |
 |
The passage network will feel like a maze. Check every cave-in section for a hole to swim through. If there is a hole, it means there's a treasure on the other side. Make sure you check every passage. There are a total of 6 treasures between this point and the final destination, when Lara climbs the last set of steps and sheds her scuba gear when she reaches the cathedral. |
 |
This is the last set of stone steps that Lara has to find. The arch to the cathedral is at the top. As Lara swims up, you'll be able to shed your scuba gear and climb the steps the rest of the way out. STRATEGY: If you do shed your scuba gear, YOU CANNOT GO BACK AND GET TREASURES YOU MISSED? Lara will NOT put her scuba gear back on. You'll have to swim on your own. Walk into the cathedral. |
 |
[movie sequence begins] Lara walks into the cathedral and is awe-struck. She looks to the far side of the poison pool of Eitr and sees Queen Natla fly in from the rafters and land next to the altar. The entire altar structure and back wall is glowing bright red. It's definitely powered by some god-like energy. Lara grabs her binoculars and zooms-in so she can see what Natla is doing. |
