Tomb Raider Underworld Walkthrough FAQ Strategy Guide PS3
 |
It is now one week earlier. Lara is on her yacht and is talking with Zip and Allister. Lara is convinced more than ever that her father knew about the Norse connection with Avalon and she is determined to see it for herself. Before leaving the boat, check your available guns. Lara can only carry 1 extra weapon other than her pistols. Use [select] to equip the spear gun. You'll be swimming down into shark-infested waters. |
 |
Jump off the end of the boat. Dive down [circle]. It's a long way down to the bottom and will take awhile before you see the floor. Watch for sharks. Keep your spear gun loaded [left directional button] and pan the camera around the area. If a shark attacks, aim your spear gun [L1] watch for the red target, and fire [R1]. Each shark will take 2 direct spear hits to die. I saw 4 sharks total. |
 |
Once you swim down to the bottom, look for the largest stone structure in the area. There is a large archway in the front. Swim in through the archway then down into the pit. There are 3 ornate discs on the far wall. Each disc is controlled by the gear wheel. Lara first has to find the 2 missing gear wheels to be able to turn each disc and to solve the puzzle. The first gear wheel is in the same room. |
 |
On the floor of the pit, there's a small round pedestal. On the pedestal is the first gear wheel Use [triangle] to pick-up the wheel. Once in hand, swim over to the middle of either the left or right disc and insert the wheel [triangle]. Now you need the find the other missing wheel. Swim back out from the structure. Scout around the area for other buildings. There are 2 caves to the right. |
 |
Swim down through all the caves and scour the area for the wheel. Don't forget to turn on your flashlight [left button]. In the caves there are 2 treasures (sparkling prisms) to be found. Many of the caves are occupied with hanging jellyfish. They are poisonous and will injure you, so avoid any contact. If you need to get your bearings, use the sonar map to see where you are. |
 |
In one of the back rooms of the caves you'll find the 2nd gear wheel. Pick-up the wheel and swim back up to open water. NOTE: Lara will be unable to use her spear gun while swimming with the gear wheel. Hug close to the ground while swimming to avoid any further shark attack, and swim back into the main structure. Insert the gear wheel into the disc. Now the puzzle.
|
 |
Each disc has 3 different sections. Pulling on a gear wheel will rotate the disc. The upper disc has 2 discs that are a slightly different color than the other. Turn the upper wheel so the 2 sections of the same color line-up with the other 2 discs. Go to the left disc. Turn the wheel so the matching symbols line up with the upper disc. Repeat with the right disc. If successful the mechanism will activate. [cut scene] The upper disc locks and folds inward revealing a tunnel. |
 |
Swim down through the new tunnel. Watch for the jellyfish. The swim channel is narrow and requires navigating under and over blocks and through narrow openings. Make sure your flashlight is on and search every square inch for prisms. There are 2 treasures on the way. Lara will pass an octopus on the way. DON'T PANIC! It won't attack. Swim up to an open lagoon inside a dark cave. |
 |
Find the stone ledge near the water line and climb out. Inside the next room look to the right. There are several vases on the floor [X]. The red clay vases usually contain nothing but the ornate vases contain treasures. Kick each vase as the triangle symbol appears. Keep your flashlight on and jump over the blocks in the room and enter the next larger room. |
 |
Jump in the lagoon. Dive down. There's another treasure prism on the bottom near the front of the lagoon. Swim back up and find the sloped block. Walk out of the water up the stone ramp to the back platform. Up on the block on the left, under the dripping water, there's a health pack urn. Climb up and grab it [triangle]. Walk all the way to the right wall. Look for the stone wall ledges. Jump up and grab the wall ledge on the left. |
 |
Shimy to the right and jump across to the next wall ledges. Climb up to the small alcove along the back wall. Kick the urns for another treasure. Jump back down off the alcove and work your way along the wall. Jump to the horizontal pole. Swing around the pole and grab the next ledge on the column. Shimy around to the right then release from the ledges and jump down to the floor. Walk into the dark room. |
 |
Make sure Lara's flashlight is on. Go to the upper platform with the pull lever. Pulling the lever now won't do anything. Search the room. There are 2 serpent statues each connected by pressure pads. Locate the 2 small block weights. Pick-up a block weight [triangle] and move it to the pressure pad on the left. Go back and get the 2nd block. Move the block to the pressure pad. It stays down. |
 |
The other serpent statue has a gold ring under its mouth. Walk to the other side of the room, under the statue. Use the grapple to grab the ring [square] and pull the serpent head down [triangle] to the pressure pad. Return to the platform and pull the lever. [cut scene] The flame pots below each serpent light up causing the serpent to shoot flame from his mouth. The large stone door opens. |
 |
[movie sequence begins] Lara walks up to the doorway and pulls out her video camera. She looks at the old Norse glyphs etched in a stone slab across the top of the doorway. This is Niflheim the world of mist where those who died in battle, come to rest. One of the nine worlds of Norse mythology. Interesting how it is buried beneath these Greek ruins. Quite a surprize to find you here? |
