Ice Palace

As you begin shoot the bell to open the door. As you enter the next room note the wood squares on the floor they are springboards that catapult Lara toward the ceiling. Go into the corner right of the cage as you entered the room and step onto the small springboard to throw Lara to the next floor. Get the medi pack and drop back down. Stand facing the one under the rectangular hole in ceiling you can look up and see the bell above. Run onto it and shoot the bell. It opens one of the gates. Next run onto the long springboard in front of the gates in the direction toward the gate. Grab the ledge and pull up. Pull the lever it opens one of the cages and releases three Yetis. Drop down to the floor below and shoot the Yetis headed up the stairs. On the floor you are on after killing the yeti. Jump through into the opened cage get the medi pack and be ready for another Yeti as you turn the corner and head up the stairs. Pull the lever and return to the cage. SECRET # 1 across from where you entered the cage is a moveable block. Pull it out once then push it aside. The Gold Dragon is on the other side there is a invisible bridge leading to it just drop off and get the Dragon. Trust me. Back on the lower floor by the gates is a small springboard face it with the gate on your right. Save the game. Lean forward as you fly through the air to land on a ledge above. Turn around to see the bell behind you jump up and shoot it. It opens the second gate. To return to the ground jump to the sliding slope hang then drop. Save the game again. Go through the gate’s approach the springboard on the left side. Turn and run onto it hold down the action key to grab onto the ledge above. Shimmy right and drop to the ledge. Above and in front of you is a bell you will need to jump back and forth across the slopes and shoot the bell. After the bell rings hold down the left arrow key while jumping to end up on the ledge at the other end. Pull up and climb the ladder go right then pull up to the ledge. Run and jump to the walk in front of you and kill the Yeti on your left. Get the flares off the block. Climb to the opening and be ready for Tigers as you enter the cave. SECRET # 2 as soon as you drop down climb the rocks on your right go through the opening and follow the trail to the Stone Dragon. Return to the cave and jump to the other side to get a medi pack. Jump down and follow the path be ready for more Tigers as you head for the Tibetan Mask. Getting the mask opens the door up the rock trail by where you got the Stone Dragon. Through the door follow the path and be ready for a Yeti as you enter the next room. Shoot the Yeti below before dropping down. Go to the other side of the room and get the medi pack. Light a flare and drop it down by the different colored walk. Note the spikes below before dropping down. Get the ammo from the opposite side of the room. Remember to walk through the spikes. Climb up onto the lighted walk, use the Mask. It opens a door to the right as you drop back down. Get the medi pack from the other end. I found a bug right here. If you clip Lara into the red railing by the second pillar she will fall through into the next area. Don’t try it unless you save the game or you have already used the Mask to open the door. Go through the door head across the rope ladder. There are some flares to the left of you on a ledge next to the building if you need them. Follow the path until you come to the lever. Pull it to dump the fire and melt the ice. Hang then drop and slide down the slope to the floor. Be ready for two Tigers to come from the glacier. Jump into the water, leave the hammer and swim into the next cave. Note the icicles above so stay to the left wall kill the three Yetis and return to get the hammer. Swim back to where you killed the Yetis get out and kill the barracudas. Climb up onto the rocks on your left and kill another Yeti. Go around to the right of the slope leading under the icicles. Jump toward them then back flip to avoid them. In that room is another Yeti. Climb over the ice he came from to get the grenade launcher and grenades. Know go to the other side of the room and follow the path get the medi pack and kill the Yeti coming down the ice steps. Climb up and follow the trail to the snowball trap. Save the game. There is more then one set of snowballs the first are just outside the door on your right. Walk forward then jump back when they start to roll to avoid them. Know run out in front of the others turning left and angling toward the opening on the right side jump in to avoid them. Follow the path, at the ice cliff slide backward hang and shimmy left to the end then pull up and back flip to the landing behind you. Run jump and grab the ice wall and climb up to the opening. Follow the path then turn slide hang and drop to the gong. Don’t use the gong yet. Climb down and slide off the ice palace. Standing in front of it, look to the other side of the room on the left to find a ladder. SECRET # 3 Climb down light a flare and drop down to the left drop down again to find a lever that opens a door on a shack by the ice palace. Climb back up the ladder, back flip at the top, then go to the shack and get the Jade Dragon. To get back atop the palace, go on the opposite side to find a small block by the wall. Use it to jump to the palace and climb back to the gong. Note the closed doors on either side they will open when you bang the gong behind them waits the Talion. Also the guardian of the Talion will be released. Use the hammer bang the gong then climb down to get the Talion. The guardian won’t come out until you jump off the palace onto the floor. Jump off at the little block by the wall. When the guardian appears turn and jump back to the palace. Use the m-16 and grenades to finish him. Then head for the Temple of Xian.
