Colosseum - Items: 14 - Secrets: 3 - Kills: 25
Start this level by taking a swim. Once the crocodile has seen you climb
to the bank and shoot the croc. Swim past the croc and exit the water.
Shoot the 2 lions guarding the area. Enter the temple and start up the
stairs. Jump back and kill a third lion that surprises you (unless you
read this first).
Exit the temple and proceed down the left side. Climb up the rocky ledge
and jump over to the temple. Follow the ledge to the right to get a med-
kit. Return the way you came and climb onto the block. Jump up onto the
next ledge and follow it around the temple. You will have to jump along
the way. At the end of the ledge jump diagonally to a hidden door.
Before going in walk forward and slide down the slope. Jump when you
reach the bottom to land on a small ledge then look to the left of the
water for a hidden passage. Do a running jump into the passage and get
SECRET #1 - shotgun shells. Make your way back to the door and go in.
At the edge of the pit kill the 2 crocs and get the medkit in the corner.
Use the ramp to climb out of the pit then face the wall, jump and grab
the crack in the wall. Shimmy to the right until you can climb up then
go forward to SECRET #2 - more shotgun shells. Go back to the crevice
and do a safety drop and shimmy right until you can drop to the ledge.
Walk up the ramp and start down the tunnel until you can drop down a hole
and enter the temple.
Enter the Colosseum to your right and shoot the Lion, Cougar and Gorilla
from your safe vantage point. During your target practice that guy from
the last level starts shooting again. Fire at him until he runs away.
Jump into the pit on the left and save your game. Climb out of the pit
and use the door at the back corner. Slide down the ramp and shoot the
2 lions waiting for you. Go to the far wall and use the switch to open
the Colosseum gate. Turn around and pull the switch to open the door
next to it. Head down this corridor and into a pit.
Four cougars patrol the top of this pit. You can kill them by jumping and
shooting them at the top of your jumps. It's dirty but it works. Climb
out of the pit when you've killed 1 or 2 of them. That way they can't
gang up on you. Head to the rocks and slide down the ramp. Go to the
back of the room and turn right and stand on the gray floor panel.
Turn back and head to the right gate to get the medkit. Run back and
when the gate closes stand on the floor panel again to open the left gate
which you can then enter and use the switch. Then run around the corner
and enter the right gate then through the second gate which is on a timer
(so hurry)!
Pull the switch in here to open the white door in the chamber. Go back
outside and enter the white door. Go down the slope and save your game
at the spikes. Go through the door and climb all the ledges to the top
of the Colosseum. Turn left and head up the slope then climb the ledge
and go right to find some shells.
Go back down the rocks to the ledge and stand as far from the pit as
possible facing the rocky slide to the left of the Colosseum door. Do a
long jump to the slope and climb up the rocks. When you reach level
ground turn left and jump to the ledge. Go forward then turn right to
kill the 2 gorillas in the bedroom.
Go into the next room with the stairs and the block. Pull the block
until you can enter the tunnel behind it. Its dark in here but there
is a medkit and a switch - you know what to do with both. Return to
the rock slide and slide down backwards.
Go to your right around the rocks then turn left and proceed to the
ledge at the corner of the Colosseum. Climb the ledge and go up some
stairs and turn right. Enter the door and shoot the 2 bats and head for
the light. The gate shuts behind you. Roll into the pit as a boulder
crashes into the gate. WHEW! Climb out of the pit and jump to the other
side. Follow the passage to the next switch and use it to open the door
around the corner. Go through this door and exit the dark room to your
left.
Proceed across the Colosseum floor shooting the cougar that awaits. You
will soon come across that guy again so pump him full of lead until he
runs away again. Keep advancing and go up the stairs and enter the door.
Go forward into the lit room. The exit to this room is on a short timer
and only opens when you walk past a certain pillar.
Position yourself to the right of the left pillar and get against the
wall. The door should be on your right. Run forward and jump onto the
block trying to land on the right side. Immediately side-jump to the
right then do a backflip then side-jump left and one more jump forward
and through the door (Takes as long to perfect as it did to figure out).
SECRET #3 has 2 medkits, Uzi clips and the long awaited Magnums - hope
it was worth the effort! Back at the ledge turn left and jump across to
the switch which opens a door. Proceed to the bottom and exit out to the
Colosseum and enter the next door.
Climb up to the door you just opened and take a swim into the next room.
There you can push the block forward into the next room. Enter and save
your game. Get the medkit and use the switch to open the door at the
bottom of those stairs earlier in the game (above the rock slide). Pull
the block until you can get behind it and get the Rusty Key. Swim back
through the tunnel and drop into the dark room and use the right door
along the Colosseum wall. Watch out for that guy - he may or may not be
back to take a few cheap shots at you.
Drop to the Colosseum floor and head back to the block ledge in the far
corner. Kill the lurking gorilla along the way. Go to the edge of the
pit and drop off backwards and hang. Shimmy until your shadow is between
spike then drop. Enter the door with the rocks and climb to the top so
you can do that long jump to the rock slide all over again. Go back to
the bedchamber (where you killed the 2 gorillas) and use the Rusty Key
to open the gate.
Enter the gate and go swimming and enter the first hole which leads to
a room with a switch. After pulling the switch go swimming again and
keep swimming down the tunnel until the level is over.
Palace Midas - Items: 21 - Secrets: 3 - Kills: 42
You're already swimming when you start this level so climb out of the
pool and head for the tunnel between the pillars. Kill the 2 gorillas
then run ahead and through the left door. Three more gorillas await
your gunfire in this room. Pick up the medkit and enter the door and
save your game. Use the switch to open a an unseen gate then run back
down the tunnel and shoot 2 more gorilla near the left door. Return
back to the pool where you started and shoot the crocodile to your left.
Go down the corridor and turn right and keep off the stairs. Continue
until you reach an intersection then go right to a small gap between the
wall and the cliff. Kill the gorilla around the corner then get the
magnum clips from inside this small space.
Turn right and move forward until 2 lions attack. Kill them and continue
until you reach a wall then turn right and shoot 3 bats and get the
medkit which is almost invisible in the darkness. Return to the inter-
section and turn right and head back to the stairs you avoided earlier.
Go up and turn left and enter the next room where you can shoot 3 more
gorillas. Go to the end of the room and climb the orange column. Turn
and jump to the next column then turn left and jump to the ledge. Turn
right and jump to the next ledge - grab and pull yourself up. Get the
medkit and the magnum clips then jump back to the first ledge then back
to the pillar.
Use running jumps to cross the series of pillars. At the last one turn
right and jump to the ledge with 5 switches. Activate the left switch
then turn and drop into a pit and use the switch there to open the gate.
Enter and turn left then left again entering a brightly lit door and a
dead gorilla. Enter the torch room and save your game. Step on the
lowered section of the floor and watch the torches go out. Quickly make
a series of jumps across the torches. If you take to long they light
themselves (AND YOU)! Jump into the water below to put yourself out if
you do catch on fire. Kill the water rats before coming up to try again.
Grab the last pillar and pull yourself up as the flame ignites. You can
beat the fire if you are fast enough. Get the lead bar and save your
game here.
Swim to the stairs and climb up and shoot the gorilla. Go through the
gate and around to the wall of switches. Climb up and use the 2nd switch
from the right, the middle switch and return the left switch back to the
UP position. Drop down and enter the gate turning left and through a new
door between some pillars. Go through this room and into a tunnel then
go down some stairs on the right. Pull the block out of the wall to
shake things up a bit then head back up the stairs and continue up the
next set of stairs. The door at the top opens into a room with large
pillars. Jump over to the right to a dark patch then jump again to the
center column then jump again to the left of the sandy ledge. Jump left
again and enter the door and climb up to save your game.
Continue to the next room and kill everything that moves. Jump across
and into the pool and head down the trench shooting the 2 crocs that will
eventualy show themselves. When you reach the end of the water climb out
and climb on the rocks to your right. Advance until Lara cannot go any
further then jump forward twice. You will slide back down if you don't
jump twice in a row. SECRET #1 - medkit and magnum clips wait for you to
the left.
Jump in the water and swim to the left and climb out. Climb onto the
rail and go to the corner with the small medkit below. Do the safety
drop below to get SECRET #2 - shotgun shells, uzi clips and medkit. Jump
out of the pit and kill the gorilla then move ahead and begin searching
the small niches in the wall until you find the medkit. Head back to
the main alcove that leads to the ledge and jump over to it. Run along
the ledge and kill 2 more gorillas then move to the next to the last
alcove. Face the wall and jump to the crevice grabbing on then shimmy to
the left and drop onto the ledge. Kill the bat then turn and jump over
to the door. Proceed up the long tunnel until you reach the hex shaped
passage. Run down this collapsible tunnel and get the medkit then turn
and climb out of the tunnel. Skid down the long slope and climb back
down until you reach the room where you started. You'll be on a ledge
and a cougar will be coming at you. Kill him before he even gets close
then run along the ledge and into the door on the other side.
Follow the tunnel then jump into the left window and out onto a ledge
where you can turn right and make a running jump across. Turn right and
go up to the pool and take a swim into the next room avoiding the big
crocodile swimming in here with you.
Exit the water and climb onto the rock avoiding the almost invisible gap
and shoot the bat. Jump over the gap - if you fall in you get to repeat
about 10 minutes as you make your way around to this point again - and
pick up the lead bar and save your game. Jump to the ledge below and
shoot the lions. Go down the stairs and into the tunnel then turn left
and go to the entrance room. Go left and make your way back to the room
with 5 switches. Use the right switch and return the second to the right
switch to its UP position. Drop down and left and find the new door and
the floor full of spikes.
WALK through the spikes and around the ramp where you can pull another
block a couple times to reveal a tunnel and another switch to use. Head
back up the ramp and the stair. At the top go to the corner and do a
standing jump over the spikes to the column. Make a series of jumps to
cross this room starting with the column on your right. When you reach
the last column jump into the door then jump right back to the column.
You can now safely shoot the gorilla who just woke up in the room beyond
that door. When he's dead enter the room and get the lead bar. Jump
back to the pillar then down to the door below taking a small amount of
damage. Return the the 5 switches and move the middle switch UP and the
far left switch DOWN then return to the start room with the pool. Head
down the stairs and into the garden.
Kill the 2 gorillas and get the medkit off the roof near the back. You
can get to the roof by climbing the wall on the right. On the roof turn
and head down the passage to the MIDAS Chamber. Stand next to the stone
hand and use the lead bars to turn them to GOLD! Climb up the right side
of the MIDAS stone and save your game. Return to the garden and go to
the right corner next to the gate. Walk sideways behind the tree to find
the concealed lever to open the gate and the final SECRET #3. Enter the
gate and up to the first pair of blades. Wait for the blades to shut
then jump through them as they open. Get the shotgun shells, magnum
clips and medkit then repeat the process to get past the blades.
Make your way back to the orange pillar room then turn left and enter a
new door. Continue forward and kill the lion then head up the stairs
and out onto the ledge. Get the shotgun shells and save your game. Go
down the stairs and through the right door. Use your new gold bars in
each of the 3 slots then enter the open door and slide down the ramp and
finish the level.

wall you climbed for Secret #1 you can now run the opposite direction
and jump to a ledge then jump again to the next ledge where you can fine

medkit and slide down the ramp ending up in front of a hold in the floor
which you can enter and go swimming.
Avoid the rats and swim into the tunnel. Climb out and kill the pesky
rat that bites you as you exit. Go up the steps and jump to the ledge

Swim past the first opening and continue until you surface in the room
with the bridge. Jump onto the bridge like before then walk to the
pillar and climb up. Jump to the ledge with the rails then go up some
stairs into the pipe room. Avoid the holes in the floor to get to the

Tomb of Tihocan - Items: 26 - Secrets: 2 - Kills: 16
SPLASH!! Swim down the passage until you reach tunnels going up and
down. Go down and through the tunnel until you reach the switch. This
lowers the water so you can now go to the other tunnel and exit the
water. Use the switch here to open the door down the hall. Go through
the door and shoot the croc then climb the stairs. Go up and over to
the furthest step then jump across to the ledge next to you. Climb the
ledge to your left then run to the corner to avoid the darts shooting at
you.
Do a running leap to the ledge in the opposite corner then climb into the
alcove and use the switch to flood the room. Take a swim and go to the
new tunnel which used to be covered by the now-floating white block and
get the medkit. Swim up and climb onto the white block then run into the
tunnel and take another swim. Go down and forward and use the switch to
activate a strong current. Go up for air and swim forward - the current
will sweep you away allowing you to travel further than you ever could by
just swimming. Exit the water when you reach the end then climb out,
shoot the rat then pull the block out of the wall toward the water.
Get on the block and jump up to the ledge then turn around and jump to
the wide ledge then jump into the darkness to your right. Climb up to
your right then turn right and climb some more. From the top of the
pillar jump to the ledge and save your game. Mr. Sniper will be shooting
at you again so fire at him until he flees then walk to the swinging axe
and jump behind it. Get the shells then jump back to end up back ontop
of the pillar. Face the door and jump up to it
Enter the tunnel and have a short gunfight with the sniper guy again. Go
down the hall and jump/run through the veg-o-matic until you get to a pit
with a big croc at the bottom. Kill him from the safety of your perch
then drop down when its safe. Go down the stairs and get the shells and
the magnum clips. Using your 3D Look-around find the 3 concealed floor
panels and step on each of them to open the door to SECRET #1. Enter and
turn to face the door. Jump left and hold the button to make multiple
leaps to shells and a medkit.
Exit back to the stairs and jump back out to the pillar. Jump back to
the ledge with the swing axe and do a jump to the door behind the blade.
Run down the stairs and either roll or jump backwards off the end to hang
on the edge. Shimmy to the right and climb up into a tunnel where you
can use the switch to flood the room. Dive in and swim to the step along
the wall. Kill the giant rat then dive in the water behind him. Swim to
the next room and exit the water shooting the cougar. Enter the tunnel
and use the switch to open the gate then save your game.
Kill the 2 gorillas lurking above. If you can't see them then jump and
fire at the peak of your jump. Jump and pull yourself up after they are
both dead. Jump to the crevice on your left and grab on and shimmy to
the right and climb up to the gate. Enter and get the Gold Key and the
medkit then go back to the dead cougar. Enter the tunnel and use the
Gold Key. This causes several blocks to float to the surface. Do a
series of jumps to cross these blocks and get the medkit before entering
the door.
Enter the room on the left with the writing on the floor and pull the
block out of the wall and place it on the writing. Kill the gorilla that
appears from behind the block then get the shells and magnum clip he was
guarding. Go back and pull the block until its on the writing next to
the door. Shoot the gorilla that comes out of a newly opened door then
go get the shotgun shells. Go back and climb on top of the block and jump
to the door above. Run through the veg-o-matic and get the medkit and
Rusty Key then return to the main room. Push the block away from the
ledge then circle around and pull it onto the writing. Rats attack so
climb/jump onto the block and shoot them from safety. Enter the new room
and get the medkit then go back and push the block onto the final writing
tile. Go to the door and IGNORE the medkit - its a trap. Run straight
through and climb and get the Rusty Key. Get the medkit on your way back
out.
Go back to the main room with the door with locks on each side and use
your Rusty Keys. Enter and save your game then jump to the right of the
ramp. Do a series of jumps up to a secret passage then jump across a
series of collapsible panels to SECRET #2. Here is the jump combo that
worked for me: Turn so Lara's right side is facing the first tile then
jump RIGHT - FORWARD - RIGHT - RIGHT - RIGHT - BACK - RIGHT ending up in
the secret room. Get the uzi and magnum clips then return to the ramp.
Slide down and into the water and swim through the tunnel exiting onto a
ledge where you can shoot a croc. Enter the tunnel and climb all the
ledges to reach the top then slide down to the ledge in the sand. Slide
down the ramp on your right and jump to the ledge then climb up to the
switch and open the underwater gate.
Take a dive and swim into the next room and exit before a large temple.
Swim under the temple and find the hidden tunnel in the rear. You will
surface inside where you can save your game and use the switch to open
the main door. Swim back outside and exit to the left of the temple on
the sand. LOOK OUT!!
A statue comes to life and starts throwing fireballs at you. Jump around
and dodge his attacks while pumping lead into him until he dies. Save
your game then enter the temple. Its finally time to take care of your
sniper friend (his name is Pierre) so ready your magnums and take care of
business! When he hits the floor remove the magnums, Gold Key and the
Scion piece from him. Climb to the ledge above and get he medkit and the
magnum clips. Use the Gold Key to open the door below and you are free
to EXIT this level. You can wander back outside and take on the other
statue if you are feeling daring today!
