Tomb Raider Walk-through Part 1
I still haven't finished this amazing game and I probably won't untill I
get my hands on a PC copy or another PSX which I can borrow. Anyway,
for all you TR fans out there stuck at some point in the game, here's
the walk-through which I grabbed off da net.
Happy adventuring!
Kei/Carnage
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1 - Caves - Items: 7 - Secrets: 3 - Kills 14
Follow the tracks running past the slots with the poison darts. If you
keep running the darts will miss you. Continue around the corner. Lara
will look up at a ledge indicating the way to go but first we need to
get a secret. Continue straight into a large square room with a door in
the corner. You must use the slanted rock to jump onto this door. You
can either jump back then forward off the sloped face or you can climb
up the back of the sloped rock and jump as you slide down. Either way
you will grip the base of the door to enter SECRET #1 and get the
medkit.
Returning to the other cave, climb up and head down the passage. The
sounds of bats should alert you to draw your gun and kill them. Turn
left and proceed to a dead end cave with snow drifted into one corner.
Climb the drift as far as you can then use the action key to grab the
ledge and pull yourself up. Waste the bat and grab the Medkit for
SECRET #2. Return to the bat cave and continue. You will eventually
end up in a large grass covered cavern sloped down. Make you way to
bottom and drop into the tunnel. Go to the door and use the switch to
open the door. Kill the bat as you enter this large room. Ignore the
bamboo door - you can't open it anyway.
Find the hole in the roof and climb up. Make your way to the large room
with 2 bridges and 2 wolves patrolling the ground. You can sniper these
guys from the ledge. You can either wind your way around using the
bridges your take the shortcut by dropping to the ground and proceeding
to the second bridge. Standing in the middle jump and pull yourself up
onto the bridge and go to your right. Continue through the door and
into the next room.
There is a large gap in this room with a bear at the bottom. You can
make this jump and save your game either before or after killing the
bear from above. Drop down into the gap by gripping the edge and
dropping in to avoid taking damage. Go through the door killing the 2
bats. Grab the medkit and then stand on the pressure plate to open the
door. You will now enter the bridge room. Climb back up the bridge and
retrace your path back to the gap. Proceed down the stairs. There is a
medkit to the left of the stairs if you are collecting these things.
As you enter the room the music starts and the wolves attack. Kill both
of them quickly. Notice on the far wall there is a door cleverly hidden
in the vegetation. A ledge extends from the door which you can jump
onto from either side. Enter this door for SECRET #3 - a large medkit.
The other door out of this room is on a timed switch. Go to the far
corner and throw the switch. Then either make 2 skilled jumps to the
ledge with the door or just drop down - run across - and climb up and
run through the door. Continue up and turn the corner. Run past the 2
dart shooting pipes and into the next room. A single wolf is waiting
for you so watch out. There are 2 broken floor tiles in this room.
Stand on either one to fall (safely) into the room below.
Do not drop into the hall below - it is lined with dart traps. Find the
ledge where you can safely jump across to the other side. Shoot the
last wolf on this level and pick up the medkit. Continue on and around
the corner to find a switch. Move it to open the EXIT. To avoid the
darts just slide down the sloped wall next to the EXIT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 2 - City of Vilcabama - Items: 11 - Secrets: 3 - Kills: 29
Run into the first room and kill the 4 wolves lurking in there. Jump
around to avoid their attacks and keep firing. There are multiple exits
from this room. Take whichever one you want as they all end up at the
same place eventually. Kill all the wolves and bats you encounter.
Some bats are lurking in the ceiling so look UP often. One wolf guards
a medkit hidden in the bushes. Eventually you will end up in a large
room with a pool in the middle.
There is a wooden trough along one wall. If you go near this wall a
large bear comes charging out. Dodge his attacks and kill him quickly
then enter the room he came out of. Climb up onto the ledge above the
stable and get the medkit. Now return to the pool room and go for a
swim.
Dive in and go to the T intersection and turn right. Make a U-turn to
the left when you reach the pillars and throw the wood lever to open a
secret door in another area. If you still have enough air (about half)
then swim to the opposite side of the pillar room into the brightly lit
area. Throw the other wooden switch to open a hatch above you. Surface
and breath. Exit the water and get SECRET #1 - a medkit.
Throw the switch to open door and return to the main room. Dive into
the pool again and this time swim to the T and turn left. Follow the
passage to a left turn and follow until you surface into a room with
serpent fountains. Exit the pool and go through the secret door you
opened early (remember that lever) and get SECRET #2 - a medkit and
magnum clips. Return to the main pool room and surface.
Find the door with the switch (looks like zebra stripes) and open the
door. Climb the wooden stairs and make the tricky jump at the top. You
will be looking across at an alcove made of skulls. Below you is a
ledge of collapsible panels. Drop down and run and jump over to this
alcove. This is tricky and if you don't do it the first time you don't
get another chance. It's only a medkit so don't worry if you don't make
it. Drop into the room below (if you didn't land there by accident) and
find the blue stone with the two indentations.
Using the action key and the UP arrow Lara can push this block into the
wall. It takes several pushes to move it all the way. If you missed
the large jump and really want that medkit in the skull alcove you can
use the action key and down arrow to pull the block into the room and
use it to climb into the alcove.
Once you are in the next room kill the bat and get the Silver Key and
the Gold Idol. Using the block you pushed in, climb up and onto the
wooden ledge. Kill the 2 bats in the rafters and save your game. Run
around the corner and kill 2 more bats. Drop into the passage and turn
left. You should now be back in the main pool room. Turn left again to
find the locked door. The action key will unlock the door.
Darts line the walls of this room and you will take at least one hit
UNLESS you do a dive. Just run and jump and hit action while in mid-
air and you will hit the ground rolling - no damage!
You are now in a large area with a temple at the far end and 5 wolves
with bad attitudes scattered about. Kill them as they charge doing all
that fancy jumping to avoid their fangs. Enter the temple through the
left door. Follow the passage into a pool room with ledges on the
walls. Climb the stairs and being the jumping process to go from ledge
to ledge. Climb the stairs and kill the bat then make a long jump
across the top of this tower. Climb some more stairs and kill another
bat. Find and use the wall switch to open the temple's right door. Get
the medkit then go to the window.
Looking down at the ledge find the shotgun shells. Execute the safety
drop onto the roof and get the shells then drop to the red roof and get
the medkit. Drop once more to the ground and enter the right door.
This is another room with water and ledges and collapsing floor tiles.
Go to the left and stair-step up the ledges along this wall. At the top
kill the bat, climb the stairs and use the switch to open the middle
door of the temple. Go outside and save the game then execute a series
of safety drops to the ground. Enter the middle door.
A long tunnel with a series of swinging blades is your next challenge.
Just use simple timing to get past these guys. You will reach a gate
with a bear behind it. Use the switch. The floor drops out from under
you and you go for another swim. Swim forward and up and into the small
tunnel on the right. The tunnel leads to stairs which leads to a switch
that opens the gate you were at moments ago and the exit gate. Go to
one of the windows and dive into the pool below (or do a safety drop).
You have to kill the bear and you can't shoot from the water. The bear
will follow you and attack as you try to exit the pool. I found it
easier to drop to the ground and blast him. You can also run around the
pool keeping the bear at a safe distance.
Once the bear is dead go to the locked door. To the left of this door
is an open door. Enter the door and go up the stairs to the switch
room. There is a passage opposite the switch which leads to a room with
Uzi clips. Return to the pool room with the dead bear and use the Gold
Idol to unlock the EXIT.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3 - Lost Valley - Items: 16 - Secrets: 3 - Kills: 12
Follow the tunnel until you reach the river. You can either jump in or
go to your right and do some cliff diving. Find a safe place to exit
the lake and kill the 2 wolves on patrol. Climb over the rocks opposite
the waterfall and enter the cave. Kill the wolf that attacks then
continue further and turn right. Jump into the slanted chamber and kill
the 3 wolves waiting here. Don't go any further as it is just a dead
end. Return to the room you were just in and find the ledge you can
pull yourself up onto. Continue climbing until you find the skeleton
and a medkit. Continue forward and slide down into the valley.
A red Raptor rushes you. Fire as fast as you can and dodge this guy's
attacks. When he is dead enter the valley and kill the second raptor.
Check your health at this point and make sure its FULL. Note the broken
rope bridge above. Note the HUGE FOOTPRINTS below. Note the size of
the teeth on the T-Rex that just rounded the corner. Do a LOT of
side-jumping and keep firing until this monster is dead. You may have
to heal yourself in mid-combat. NEVER let this guy get close to you
with his mouth or you are dead no matter what your health bar says.
After he is dead run past him under the bridge until you reach 2
waterfalls. Climb the ledge to the right of the right waterfall to find
SECRET #1: Shotgun shells. Go to the ledge between the falls. Climb
up 2 ledges and jump to the right onto the 3rd ledge. Hold onto the
ledge and shimmy to the right until you're in the middle of the falls.
Pull yourself up and into SECRET #2: Shells and Uzi Clips.
Return to the ground (climb or dive) and head for the broken bridge and
look for a door in the grass covered rock. Enter the passage and kill
the raptor waiting down the hall. Advance until you reach a waterfall.
Climb the ledges to the right and get Cog #1. Then dive into the pool.
Swim until you surface at the right waterfall in the valley. Turn left
and advance to the temple in the distance. Take out the 2 raptors
lurking near the temple. Enter the temple and save your game. Take a
swim heading for the right side of this pool to get Cog #2. Exit the
temple and find a climbable ledge along the left valley wall near the
dead raptors.
Climb the first ledge then jump left to the 2nd ledge. Turn left to
jump (or grab) the 3rd ledge then do a leap and grab the 4th ledge. Do
one more giant leap onto the temple roof for SECRET #3 and get the
medkit, magnum clips, uzi clips, and shotgun shells. You can get back
down by going left and jumping to the slanted cliff and sliding to the
bottom. Turn to the right and climb into the cave in the valley wall.
Follow the tunnel and save your game. Continue until you reach the rope
bridge. Do the giant leap and grab the other side of the bridge. Pull
yourself up and continue over to get Cog #3. Do a safety drop to the
valley floor and make your way back to the cave above the first huge
waterfall (the beginning of this level).
Next is a series of jump crisscrossing the river. Miss one and you are
going for a ride over the falls so BE CAREFUL! The final jump requires
you to grab the edge and pull yourself up. Follow the tunnel and cross
the bridge. Save your game before crossing then use the 3 Cogs on the
wall then pull the lever. The dam shuts and the waterfall stops.
Do NOT cross the bridge but rather drop off the side and grab on.
Shimmy left and drop onto a rock. Go up and turn left to SECRET #4 and
get a medkit. Jump in the water and swim until you reach the dam. Turn
left and pull yourself up onto the ledge. Find the skeleton and get
their shotgun (they don't need it anymore). Jump back in the water and
enter a tunnel. This is a very long tunnel but you will eventually
surface into SECRET #5 with shotgun shells and a medkit.
Go through the door and jump onto the dry riverbed. Follow it to the
waterfall (or rather where the waterfall used to be) and dive into the
lake below. There is now a tunnel you can get to which used to be
blocked by the waterfall. Enter the tunnel and open the door and EXIT!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4 - Tomb of Qualopec - Items: 7 - Secrets: 3 - Kills: 7
Follow the tunnel and enter the Tomb of Qualopec. Go up the slope and a
huge boulder comes rumbling towards you. Do the REVERSE move and get
outta there making sure to get out of the path as the boulder rolls
across the tomb and into the entrance.
Pull the switch to open the door to the left. This frees 2 raptors who
you can dispatch with your pistol. Go into the room they came out of
and save your game. Go through the door on your right and into the next
room. There are big brown blocks in here you get to push around. Push
the first block forward twice Turn left and push another block to
continue. Run across some collapsible tiles to a switch that opens the
first of 3 gates. Jump the pit you just ran across and go back to the
room where you saved your game. Go to the right door with the circle
over it and follow the passage to a small alcove with a switch.
Approach the switch and fall through the floor. Go up one of the ramps
and pull the block into the room then push it aside to find a passage.
Enter and go up stome steps and drop into a pit and get the medkit.
Climb up the opposite side of the pit then go up the stairs and pull the
switch to open Gate #2. Grab the medkit in the corner then drop back
into the pit. Go back to the room where you saved your game and enter
the door with the bird. Find and use the switch to move a block with
the same bird symbol on it. Drop down into the room with the bird
symbol block and go to the left door. Go up some stairs and turn to
face the white ledge. Jump and grab several times until you reach a
tunnel which takes you to the block with the bird. Drop down a couple
times then turn left and drop down again until you are across from the
bird. Jump the gap and land on the bird block. Perform a tricky jump
into the tunnel to the left of where you just landed. Enter the tunnel
and pull the switch to move another bird block.
Return to the tunnel entrance and walk to the edge facing to the right
and make a leap of faith to a block you can't see from here. Turn and
do a jump onto the second bird block then turn right and jump into the
door. Pull the switch in this room to open the final gate. Exit this
passage and jump to avoid the spike below. Go up the small ramp and
climb up to the door. Move down the right passage and waste the raptor
before he gets you. Go back to the room where you saved your game and
back into the first room of this level. Enter the new passage. Save
your game and then run past the dart guns. Doing the swandive with the
roll is a good way to not get hit here. When you reach the stairs turn
to your left.
SECRET #1 waits for you if you climb up just to the right of the dart
gun. Squeeze next to the idol then run across a whole room of those
broken floor tiles. Head for the left corner and get the shotgun shells
then go for SECRET #2. Drop off the ledge and shimmy to the outside
wall and drop on the spiked floor. WALK - DO NOT RUN - through the
spikes and pick up the magnum clips under the ledge you were just on.
Walk through all the spikes to the door above and climb up and out.
Drop down to some steps and go up to the chamber with the first piece of
the Scion. Don't take the piece until you have killed the guard on the
left side of the king's throne. In true Indiana Jones fashion taking
this piece starts a tremor. Run back quickly to the main entrance room
and past the boulder that smashed into this room earlier. Save your
game then take a swim.
You'll find yourself underfire. Larson - your contact at the cafe is
trying to kill you. Before you finish him off, swim to the bottom and
find a small tunnel. Follow the tunnel to SECRET #3 and get the medkit
and magnum clips. Heal yourself then go kick Larson's butt. Enjoy the
cool movie clip and rest up for the Labyrinth.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 5 - St. Francis' Folly - Items: 18 - Secrets: 4 - Kills: 21
Start this level by going right and climbing the wall. Go to the end
and kill the 2 lions lurking about. Go to the block with the horseshoe
symbol behind it and pull the block ontop of the symbol to unlock the
door above you. Push the block forward a couple of times to open a door
at ground level then push the block again so you can climb on it later.
Go through the door and kill the 2 gorillas and pull the switch across
from the door. Go to the stairs on the right and kill another gorilla.
Continue up the stairs and throw the switch to open another door. Go
outside and shoot the other explorer waiting for you in the pillars.
Dodge a lot and run in circles to shoot him from behind - like the T-Rex
and Larson. He will run away after eating enough lead. Let him go!
You can't kill him anyway - believe me - I tried!
Back in the main room - climb onto the block you pushed earlier then
jump across to another column. Start bunny-hopping these columns to get
a medkit. Turn left and jump some more to reach the door. Now comes
the tricky part...
Stand on the far left of the doorway ontop of the arrows. Jump left
then jump right and up grabbing the ledge. Standing on the ledge, face
the smaller of the two sloped ledges and backup. Jump onto the lower
slope then backward then forward and grab the ledge above you. Very
tricky but it takes you to SECRET #1 - shotgun shells and a medkit.
Climb back down to avoid damage taken by falling through broken floor.
Back in the main room hop back to the column where you got the medkit.
Do a long jump to the ledge to the left then turn left and begin a
series of jumps to reach the door (the one you unlocked from the floor).
Go down the hall making sure you are sliding forward! Just before you
reach the end of the sloped passage jump into the air. You'll land on a
small ledge below. Jump across to the door and grab it. If you miss
you cannot try without resetting the level. Get SECRET #2 - shells and
medkit then turn around and check out that big croc in the water. You
can kill him if you want but it takes a long time. You can just as
easily avoid him.
Jump in and swim forward and up into the first opening to get SECRET #3
- more shotgun shells. Take another swim and go to the next opening
where you can pull the switch and drain the water from this passage.
Drop into the passage and kill the croc (if you didn't already). He's
easier to shoot now but he's also a lot faster so dodge him quickly!
Go to the end of the tunnel and save your game. Jump to the ledge in
the middle of the room and shoot the 3 bats flying around. Drop down to
a ledge on your right then once more to the floor below. Pull the lever
to open the THOR DOOR. Jump to your right and land on the gray square
to open a secret door. This door is timed so you have to be FAST!
Turn right and go the the edge. Roll as you land and keep running.
Roll at the edge and drop down shooting the 2 bats as they appear. Drop
down once more, taking some minor damage, and enter the secret door.
SECRET #4 consists of medkit and magnum clips. Exit the room and save
the game. Use the switch to open the ATLAS DOOR.
Climb the stairs then jump and grab the ledge. Jump to the ledge and
get the magnum clips either before or after killing the bat. Jump back
to the first ledge and move across about half way. Jump and grab the
middle ledge then go around the left corner and use the switch to open
the NEPTUNE DOOR.
Do a REVERSE and jump across to the stairs. Turn around and jump up to
the ledge with the save game gem and save your game. Enter the THOR
DOOR to your left. Inside is a cool plasma sphere shooting electric
bolts to the floor. A pattern of blocks is laid out in a circular
pattern. If you are in this circle when the bolts hit - you get zapped!
Time the bolts and make your way across this room.
The next room has a large hammer suspended from the ceiling and some
markings on the floor. Stand on the symbol. When you hear something
break jump back and the hammer will smack the floor. Don't move! Wait
for a couple of blocks to fall to the floor. Push the block a few times
against the wall near the head part of Thor's hammer. Use it to climb
up to the ledge where you can pull the second block out a few times then
use it to climb and jump over to an even higher ledge.
Get the small medkit then jump across to the ledge on your left. Enter
the small room and get the THOR KEY then jump back and climb down. Run
through the electric room and make your way back and exit the THOR DOOR.
At the edge turn left and jump to a ledge that looks slightly different
than the others. Your friend from earlier is shooting at you so hop to
a small ledge on your right and kill the 2 bats that are attacking.
Turn and jump to the middle ledge then go up the stairs to find a lever
which opens the DAMOCLES DOOR. Climb the stair and enter the ATLAS
DOOR.
Kill the gorilla waiting for you in here then run ahead and through the
gate. A medkit is in the pit to your left. Run up the hill until a
huge boulder comes rumbling towards you. Do a REVERSE and run away. As
you near the pit do another REVERSE and drop back and grab the edge of
the pit. The boulder will sail harmlessly overhead. Start back up the
hill and about half way jump to the ledge on your left. Jump up again
and get the ATLAS KEY on the other side of the ledge. Make your way
back and exit the ATLAS DOOR.
Go to the highest step and jump up and climb to the next level. Jump to
the stairs on your left. Shoot some bats and go to the highest step.
Jump to the middle ledge and go to the other side and enter the NEPTUNE
DOOR. Go for a swim. The current will move you along but you need to
swim up and to you left to enter a small tunnel. Pull the lever at the
end of this tunnel then return to the main tunnel. Swim forward and get
the NEPTUNE KEY. Go to the other side of the passage and surface
quickly as you are probably almost out of air by now.
Climb out of the water and exit through the NEPTUNE DOOR. Jump to the
middle ledge and climb down to the ledge across from the sandstone
stairs. Jump over to the stairs and go down the the DAMOCLES DOOR. Get
the medkit ontop of the door before you enter.
Don't worry about those swords hanging from the ceiling. Go to the next
room and get the DAMOCLES KEY then hoist yourself up and get the shells
and medkit on the ledge above. Leave this room slowly. The swords will
start falling - just watch the shadows and listen for them to fall. If
you walk you will be able to stop just short of the sword. Exit the
DAMOCLES DOOR drop down onto the small ledge and once more to the ground
where you can start shooting at the 2 cougars and that hostile explorer
who's been after you. You should also probably save your game here
(just in case).
The cougars will die and the explorer will run away again. Go to the
door and use the 4 keys you've been collecting in each of the locks.
The bars will be removed and you can EXIT this huge level. WHEW!
