TOMB OF ANCIENTS (PART TWO)
 

Run out the door. The hall is partially filled with water. When you walk forward you, a cut scene will play and you will see a screen that says Tomb of Ancients. The hallway will fill totally with water. Swim straight up where the water poured down. When you enter the Tomb of Ancients. Swim all the way to the top and find an alcove where there is health. Dive down and head for the ruined bridge to the left. Underneath that bridge is a lever. Pull it. It will open the grate at the bottom of the room.

Swim back to the top for more air. If you get out on the alcove, you can dive into the water. Propel yourself to the bottom and through the grate. Swim to the door to your right and get a strength upgrade. If you haven’t gotten your shotgun yet, you can get it now. Exit the room and swim back to the top to get more air. We had to use a health pack to make it to the top. Swim around and look for the entrance that you used the very first time you entered the Tomb of Ancients. This will take you to the Archeological Dig.

Note: You can go down to the ruined bridge on the left side and into the entrance. The gated trap door that you saw previously is now open. Dive in for some bandages.

 
ARCHEOLOGICAL DIG
 

You appear to the outside of the Archeological Dig site. Go to the right. Climb up on the box. Jump up and grab the fence top and jump over and exit the dig site via the blue doors. Cut scene to Galleries Under Siege.

 
GALLERIES UNDER SIEGE
 

Exit the room to and head up the stairs and to the right. Go up two flights of stairs. In the Bible room is a guard, taser or shoot him. Continue up the stairs. A cut scene will appear of Eckhardt and special ops guys.

Continue up the stairs and shoot the guard at the top. As you enter the door, you will see a cut scene that says Lara can’t breathe and shows a picture of the respirators. Even if you have the respirators, you want to go back and get them again because yoBouchard takes Lara to Von Croy’s apartment, hits on her, tells her about killings in Prague. Bouchard then calls someone and says “She’s inside now. You can send in the cleaner.” So Lara goes up to Von Croy’s apartment. Has flashback. Eckhardt had come in and killed Von Croy. u get a strength upgrade so that you can spring. Kill the guard and get his machine gun. If you already have the respirators, you can go forward. If not, turn left, go through the doors and down the hall. There is guard at the end of the hall. Kill him and get ammo clips. Go through the doorway and to the left into the open doorway into the stairwell. Go up the stairs. Enter the hallway and kill the spec op guy in the hallway. He has nothing so ignore him and go to the first door on the right. Go through the glass doors and see the cabinet on the right. Open the doors, get an upgrade so you can sprint and take as many respirators as Lara will take (I think she only has three at a time). Go back down the stairs. There are two guards outside the stairwell. We used the taser on them and it worked great. Go to the door on the left with the light above it.

Enter the room and a spec op guy will drop down. Taser him. Go to the right and out the door. Beware of another guard. Taser him. Go down the stairs and taser the next guy. Go down the flight of stairs on either side. Go to the end of the hall to the right. There is a doorway. Enter the doorway. If you need some air, head down the right hallway. At the end is a bathroom. Your air will refresh. Head out the hallway and go straight. Don’t forget to use the R2 button for sprinting.

Another cut scene will appear where Kurt and Lara meet. Kurt is a bit provocative. Shame on you. You don’t even know Lara, Kurt. Kurt takes the Obscura Painting and runs off but not before making love to Lara with his eyes (hee – its just like a romance novel!!). Then there is another cut scene with Lara getting shot at by Eckhardt. She chases after Kurt. Kurt uses his special disc and special power. Together they foil Eckhardt and escape him and his goons . Lara chases after Kurt. Kurt is down. Lara comes after Kurt on the ground and is hit over the head. You see a spec op guy morph into another person (is this one of the Nephilium or whatnot?). Then Bouchard appears. Lara needs to go to Van Croft’s apartment.

 
VON CROYS APARTMENT
 

Go around the apartment and pick every piece of ammo you can find. Read the information on the desks. Don’t pick up the cane yet. Go to the door under the stairs. Kick the door open and get a strength upgrade. Head up the backstairs to a bathroom. There is a med pack and ammo. Go up the stairs to the left and kick open the door. You are now in Von Croy’s bedroom. Pick up more ammo and health. On the desk by the window is information about the Cabal.

Go down the stairs and to the broken window and pick up the cane. A man will appear at the entrance of the bookcases a blaze of blue light ala Terminator 2. You need to shoot him enough times to make him disappear. Exit and go down the hall to the right to the end of the hall. Kick open the door and pick up ammo and a medpack. Return to the open door. Pick up ammo. You will then see someone machine gun an opening. Run toward him and shoot him until he disappears or dies. He leaves behind a machine gun and ammo.

Exit into the hallway. To get through the lasers to the right, do a military crawl. Hold down the Triangle button, then L2, and use the analog button to move forward. At the end of the hall way for the cut scene to show you the bombs.

 
THE MONSTRUM CRIME SCENE (PART ONE)
 

New Lara outfit. Pants.

Go talk to the reporter (Luddick). Be nice. Don’t call him a runt. You are going to buy dossiers from him and if you are real nice to him, he will get you a passcode to the Strahov where Eckhardt and his little posse are located. You need to meet him in ½ hour.

Shoot the man at the end of the alley to the left. At the end of an alley is dumpster. If you climb on top of it and do a jump and grab move, you will stand on the air and look around. If you jump over the stone fence, she falls for eternity and you must restart. In the back you will find a Combined Claw Hammer. Once you have this tool, you can access the two square manhole covers. The manhole in the square leads to a small med pack. Climb out and turn to the alley on the first right. It is lit up back here. There are two bad guys. Kill them both and their little dog too. Continue to go around the back alley until you see the manhole cover. Climb down.

Go to the right. There is break in the wall. Enter the room. Go to the open door to the left. Go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs is a hallway. You will see a cut scene of Bouchard. Lara knocks him out with a gun and then you have a conversation with him.

Exit into large main room. Go up the stairs to the library. Go around the other side to the left and find a small bureau. Push it and pull it (do each once) and you will get an upgrade of strength. Climb up the scaffolding to the top level and pull the chain. Pull the left chain twice to open the circular disc slightly and a blue light glows out. You see a cut scene where in a curio cabinet slides to show a small medpack. Pull the right chain three times to open the grandfather clock and have cut scene to the markings on the floor.

Run downstairs. You can move the bureau again on the left side and gain an increase in strength. We are not sure if this is a bug or actually helps. Go down to the main floor. Go over to the curio chest that moved and get the small med pack. Go to the clock. Enter 3:00 and press the Triangle button and not the X button. (Thanks to Last_Angel for the time hint). Go down the stairs. In front of the desk is a fax. Pick it up and look at it. The fax gives an access code. 31597. Use the access code on the keypad behind the desk. The painting moves aside and behind it is the Last Obscura Engraving.

A cut scene appears. Bouchard is gone. She walks out of the room and down the hall. There is a door to the left. Open it. Another cut scene appears and Bouchard falls out. He has keys to this place. Run down the stairs to the small room off the sewer. Go to the red door. The red door takes you to the stairs at the back of the alley where you killed two men and their dog.

 
STRAHOV FORTRESS
 

You should see the reporter again. He will give you the passcode to Strahov and some weapons. A cut scene will occur and Reporter will take you to Strahov. One of the large metal crates is open. It has a med pack. Walk to the large warehouse doors. You will see a cut scene of a large magnet dropping down and moving the metal crate. Get on the large metal crate that is closest to the metal warehouse door and to its left (if you are facing it). Then jump across to the stack of two metal bins. Jump from the stacked metal bins to the airconditioning unit. Turn and face the lowered wall.

Lara will say that she doesn’t want to draw attention to herself. Jump to the bypass that runs perpendicular to the wall that you are on. Do a military crawl across the bridge. At the end of the bridge is a ladder. Take the ladder and go the end of the hall. Open the door and use your security pass. Yu should be above the trucks. There is a bad guy. Kill him and get a pick up. There is another guard around the metal bridge. Kill again for ammo.

Go up the ladder the closest to the door that you entered. At the top of the ladder is a guard. Wait for him to turn around and then climb up, sneak up behind him and knock him out. Pick up his machine gun and move the lever. Go back down and then straight to the end and up a ladder. Follow the metal bridge down to the little room that has the flashing light. You will see a cut scene wherein the metal magnet takes out hanging machine guns. Return to where you first came in. To the right of the door (if you are facing the door) and there is a ladder that will take you to the floor of the warehouse. Go through the small green door at the end of the room.

You enter the basement of the Strahov Fortress. In an area to the right is a metal fence and a dog just beyond the fence. There is a stack of boxes to the left side of the fence. Lara says “I can climb that” and a cut scene shows a small pipe.

You need to push a box in front of the pile, next to the fence. Climb onto the box and push the box closest to the fence over so that it is right next to fence. Climb up again and pull the highest box toward you as close to the fence as you can get. Climb up and drop down on the edge of the box that has just been revealed. Push the third box toward the fence. You will gain a strength upgrade. Get down from the boxes. Across the room to the right you should see a stack of two boxes. You need to push and pull these boxes to the vent which is closest to your set of puzzle boxes. Climb on top of the vent and find a valve. Turn the valve. Get down and go back to the puzzle boxes. Climb on top. Catch the pipe and tuck your legs. Shimmy across and drop down. Beware of the dogs.

There is a ladder to the left. Climb up and pull the levers. It will start stone cutting machines and one will cut a vent shaft. Return to the main floor. Jump on top of the stone slab. Lara says “That’s not any script that I know.” Go back up to the platform with controls. Look up and see a long flat vent that runs the length of the room. Jump up and climb on top of it. Go down to wear the stone cutting machine cut the vent. Jump on top of the cut vent, move to the end. Hang off the edge and drop down again. Catch the bottom of the vent and pull up. Crawl to the end of the vent as far as you can go and drop down.

A cut scene will appear showing Eckhardt killing the reporter. As Eckhardt places his specially gloved hand over the reporter, a bloody symbol is drawn on the wall.

Go to the edge of the vent above the room and drop down after the security guard disappears. You will need to kill the security guard to pick up his passcode. At the end of the hall right before the lasers is a small shelving unit. There is a gun there. You need to go back to the room where you first killed the security guard. There is a small room. You can sneak in and break the guy’s neck. He has ammo. The white cabinets have ammo. The next room has two guys. You can avoid these guys. Go to the computer.

There is a cut scene of Lara noticing the BioDome and the fact that her path runs through it. She turns off the power and says that she has to move fast before grid comes back on. There is another cut scene that shows the Bio Dome and some modified beastie that gets out of its cage and kills people.

 
END OF THE STRAHOV FORTRESS (PART ONE)
 

Exit the office and run halfway down the hall and turn left. There is a door at the end of the hall. Inside the room is the burned reporter. You will find bandages and a gun. Return the main hall. Do a commando crawl underneath all the lasers. Stay to the far left of the landmines. Head into the room with the ruined stone walls. Head to the right and enter the door to the right.

We are now going to the Bio Research Facility.

 
BIO RESEARCH FACILITY (PART ONE)
 

Walk straight ahead. You will go down the stairs into an atrium like area. In the middle of the room by the fountain you will find a man. He is part of the Cabal – beginning of a new life on earth. The Cabal control everything in Prague. He says they are going to be immortal. Eckhardt is going to bring the Nephilim to life and in return he will give the Cabal immortality. They have the Cubiculum Nephili in Prague. He then sprays Lara with some kind of gaseous substance and disappears.

Assume the entrance (where you entered) is south. On the NE and NW corners of the room are plants that will hurt. Behind those plants are goodies. Return to the fountain. One of the heads does not having water from it. Pull it. Part of the base of the South entrance gives way (SW). Go to it and up the ladder. On a metal ledge you will find ammo and a switch. Pull the switch and it opens the door that was locked (North end). Go inside and push the yellow button. The door will open and you will now be in another room with long alien like pods. A cut scene will show up and a scary skeletal man breaks loose.

We used our shot gun to kill the scary skeletal man and the rolling centipedes. Go to the second level and beware of more rolling centipedes. Go to the middle arching support and stand facing the alien pods. Jump up and grab the pipe. Shimmy to the platform over the alien pods. Drop down and turn the valve South end (by the entrance with stone balustrade and stairs. Continue to the end of the platform by the broken ladder (North end). Turn valve. It will show you a cut scene where the bottom drops out of an alien pod below you. Use the broken ladder to climb down and jump. You will lose a bit of life. Drop into the pod and into a pool of water. Climb out and go through the door.

 
BIO RESEARCH FACILITY (PART TWO)
 

Slide down the platform and halfway down jump across to the ladder. Grab it and pull yourself up. Treat yourself to a med pack. Go through the door and follow the path that leads up the stairs. You should be at the entrance to the Bio Dome. Kill the guard. Be careful not to fall into the water because an evil water beastie will bite you and eventually kill you. Go across the platform and jump. Go to the left and up a ladder. Go around to the fenced in garden area. There are several pickups.

Go down the ladder and return to the bottom of platform closest to the wall. There is a thin ledge that runs to your left but there is a gas emitting from the pipe. You need to find the valve that controls the gas to the pipe. If you look behind you, you will see a large pipe on the opposite side of the wall. You need to reach that pipe. Jump to the platform that is lowest to the water and closest to the pipe. From the edge of the platform we are now standing on, we accomplished this by doing a side jump. Turn around and face the large pipe and jump onto it. Pick up the goody and turn the valve.

Run to the grassy area opposite of the door that you used to enter the room. Look to the right corner (if you are facing the door). There is a green vine that grows up and to the right. Jump up and grab the vines and climb up and to the right until you get to a platform with a door that is closed and a ladder. Climb up the ladder and work your way to the end of the pipe. There is a switch that moves a platform. Go back down to the main level.

Follow the metal platforms up until you reach the broken platform. Jump across. Look to the thin ledge. Turn your back to the wall and walk across it. Once you reach the vertical pipe climb up until you reach another thin ledge. Hang on the ledge and pull up on the small platform to your left. Look out toward the water and up. You should see a long platform above you and the platform that moved when you pulled the switch on the other side of the room.

Face the wall with the vines. Jump up and grab the vines (jumping, in our experience, allows you to climb a further distance because she hangs for a lesser period of time. YMMV). Climb up the greenery and drop onto the movable platform. Walk forward. Go down the ladder. Around the platform to another ladder. Push the yellow button and go through the open door.
