Pick up 2 shotgun shells and another box of flares. Light a flare and walk down
the hall until some pesky rat comes up behind you. After the rat is put away, pick up
the small medikit and note the collapsible tile ahead.
Run across the collapsible tile staying to the left. Turn into the left hallway and wait
for the spiked wall that is going towards the collapsible tiles to pass. Now run to the
space behind the spiked wall that is going towards the collapsible tile. Meanwhile the
other spiked wall continues down the hall. Shoot about 3 or 4 rats while you explore the
areas behind the spiked walls. Pick up 4 automatic pistol clips. Wander down the hall
and find the steel cage with the gold chain. Pull it out of the way and enter the doorway.
As you enter the cavern, shoot the wolf on the other side of the first pillar and it's mate
that comes along a little later. Now go up to the crest of the hill to see the Golden Mask
and it's ghostly guardians. Pick up the small medikit near the skeleton. This triggers
another wolf to shoot. Now pick up the Golden Mask to transform the ghostly guardians
into the Inuit warriors. These guys are friendly - don't shoot them!
Run around the perimter of the cave and note the double door with the gold emblem. Further on
you should find a smaller open door. Go through this door, light a flare and jump into the pit
full of water. Swim to the left, chased by a nasty yellow fish (go right to scare up the fish
first, if necessary) and climb out of the water in a dark room. Shoot the fish, re-enter
the underwater tunnel and swim to the other end and down a pit at the end to pick up 2 sets
of harpoons. Return to the dark room at the far end of the tunnel.
Rats everywhere! Jump around and shoot a lot until the coast is clear. Every time you pick
something up more rats appear - but they're no great trouble. Pick up 2 shotgun shells,
a small medikit and a 2 shotgun shells from the skeleton. Move the 2 cages with the gold
chains at the back of the room to uncover a box of flares, 6 shotgun shells and a large medikit.
Exit the rat room and run across the collapsible tile to the end of the tunnel. Turn around and
look up to see a climbing ladder. Climb up and push the block until you enter a new room.
Push the block to one side to reveal Secret #1 - the gold coins. Find the flares by the
skeleton, then immediately leap back and do a sideways jump to avoid the rolling boulder.
Continue up the tunnel by the skeleton with the flares. Light a flare and watch for spike pits
dotting the tunnel floor. Walk out high above the Temple of the Inuit Warriors. Pull the switch
to open the double doors down below. From the ledge by the tunnel entrance, take a long running
jump to the ledge on the left of the pillar. From the ledge near the pillar, take another long
running jump to a ledge with goodies. Pick up 2 M-16 clips.
Go back to the ledge by the pillar and do a safety drop from the ledge to the floor
below. Find the now open double doors. Run down the hall to another set of double doors
with a switch nearby. Pull the switch then dash back to where the Inuit warriors are. The
warriors will run past you and take care of the two men that are just beyond the double
doors and a third mercenary deeper in the room.
Follow them to watch the fight. Pick up 2 Uzi clips, a small medikit and 2 more Uzi clips
from the bodies. Find the barred windows in the room and check out the river of molten gold.
Pick up a large medikit from the ledge by the windows. On the barred window side of the room,
find the short block and climb up to the entrance to the cave with molten gold.
Jump across the slabs of rock until you can either go left or right. For now, jump to the
dark rocks in the corner. Jump to the high part of the corner. Note the wedge along the
left wall. Take a long running jump with grab and pull yourself up on the wedge shaped
rock. Slide down and near the end of the ramp, do a simple jump,. Upon landing on the next
wedge shaped block do another simple jump to end up on the ledge with the 2 grenades. Get
your grenades, then do a standing jump with grab to the higher ledge by the wall (near
center of molten lake).
Now take a long running jump the the very short ledge by the waterfall. Walk to the edge on
the high side of the short ledge, and line up a long running jump back to the center of the
molten lake (near where you started). Take a simple jump to the floor by the two pillars.
Climb the high ledge by the pillars and climb up one more ledge to the lower level of the
molten gold waterfall.
Run around the large gradually sloped ramp that surrounds the waterfall. Climb up to the
first ledge and climb the block to your right. Look in a dark pit on your left to find a
box of flares. Continue following the molten river upstream and find another dark pit containing
a small medikit. Return to the first ledge that you climbed up after the large gradually sloped ramp.
Climb up the next tall block.
Turn around on the high ledge and look across the waterfall. Do a running jump with grab
to the ledge at the center of the waterfall. Now do another running jump with grab to the
ledge on the opposite side of the waterfall. Walk along the ledges upstream and towards the
ledge on the far wall. Drop down to the rock below this ledge and make your way downstream to the
deep pit in the corner where you can pick up a box of flares. Climb back up the high ledge along the
wall and walk upstream.
Look down along the wall and pick up 2 shotgun shells. Now do a long running jump to the pillar
in the molten gold river, and pick up 2 M16 clips. This triggers a bird. After shooting the bird,
line up a diagonal long running jump to the large flat ledge on the opposite side of the molten river.
This triggers another bird, so blast away until the coast is clear.
Make your way upstream watching out for a deadly spike pit. Stay close to the river and continue
climbing up and upstream until you find 2 shotgun shells on a high column of rock. Shoot another bird
and then drop back down the rock on the side you climbed up and go around it (dropping into a deep
crevice). climb out of the crevice and pick up 2 automatic pistol clips that are lying nearby. Climb up
the rock at this point and walk out near the river. Take a long running jump to the ledge in the middle
of the river with the 2 M16 clips and shoot the two birds.
Do a simple jump over the slanted block downstream. Now line up a long running jump to the low area in
the middle of the river (you can just about see a rock in it). Carefully jump down to Secret #2
- the gold bars. Climb back up as high as you can go. Turn around looking upstream. Take a long running
jump with grab to the pillar upstream. Now take a long running jump to the ledge where you originally
picked up the M16 clips. Take one more long running jump to the ledge on the right side of the river and
continue upstream until you reach the rolling cutting blades.
Along the path of the rolling blades are several small alcoves. Run from alcove to
alcove by timing your run across the blades' path and make your way to the end of the
rolling blade path. As you enter the next room, look back into a dark alcove near the
cutting blades for a large medikit.
After the rolling blades, you come out by another river of molten gold. Make your way
downstream (right) until you see some rocks in the river. Line up a simple diagonal jump to the
first rock watching out for the overhang above the rock. Continue downstream with a combination of
simple jumps and long running jumps. On the last rock, draw your guns and watch for a polar bear up high.
Kill it if you can. Take a long running jump into the water and swim down to the bottom while being
pestered by an ugly yellow fish. Find the opening in the rock wall dead ahead and swim down the tunnel and up.
Climb out of the water. Hopefully you killed the polar bear from down below... Return to the cliff above
the pool and shoot that fish that was bothering you. Pick up the large medikit by the skeleton. Walk over
to the cliff edge and find an opening into an ice cave.
Back up into the doorway to the ice cave and do a simple jump to the rock with the 3
harpoons. Now turn to face the end of the cavern (where you can see a snowy beach), jump in the water and
wade upstream. Don't rush in because another polar bear lives there. Once you have beaten the bear, pick
up 2 Uzi clips in the center of the cave and 2 Uzi clips in a dark corner. Jump back in the water and head
for the rock you recently jumped to. Just beyond it you get swept by the current downstream. Near the roof
is a large underwater opening to a room with many ice windows.
Swim around and pick up 4 M16 clips. Swim back outside and up through a small hole in the roof for some air.
Climb out of the water. Find the ledge near the ice window by the hole in the floor. Pick up a box of
flares and a small medikit. Look around the room and spot the climbing ladder. Take a long running jump
with grab to the ladder and shimmy sideways until it's safe to drop onto a ledge.
Go through onto the slope. Run down this first slope, noting the boulder suspended boce the second. Head
down the second and veer of at the bottom to avoid being squished by the boulder. Go back up the second
ramp to the door with the nearby switch. Press the button and immediately backflip to avoid the boulder.
Go to the door you just opened and look down to see a climbing ladder. Climb down until you're hanging off the bottom and then shimmy sideways to avoid dropping into the lava pit below the door. Drop to the ground and
press the switch near the lave pit to open the gold door. Immediately after pressing the switch, turn
at a diagonal, so that you can backflip to avoid the boulder coming down the ramp and avoid falling into
the lava pit.
Run up the ramp near the gold door to trigger an unseen boulder. Enter the small alcove at the top of the
ramp and look up to see a ledge. Climb up and pick up 2 grenades which are by the ice window. Now go back
down through the open gold door and pick up 4 Uzi clips. Climb up the rocks and come out by 2 double doors
with an emblem.
Note the switch behind the locked doors, then make your way out to a ledge high above the
molten river and some bridges, steps and buildings. Take out goon who heads for you from along the ledge.
Pick up 2 M16 clips from the corpse and then explore. At then far end of the dark ledge you can go down
some steps and find a huge staircase leading to more locked gates. Return to where you killed the last
mercenary and do a safety drop to the walkway below the rocky ledge
Walk along the walkway upstream. Note the green doors to your left - these are holding back the water in
the underwater cave you were in not so long ago. Continue up the walkway and the stairs and look through the
barred window to see the room with the slopes where you dodged the boulders. Somewhere along this walk,
a goon starts shooting at you from the other side of the room. Shoot him and pick up 2 M16
clips from the body (if he falls far away, pick them up later).
Walk down the steps that lead to a pillar in the center of the molten river. Take a long running jump to
the pillar and pick up a small medikit. Now take a running jump to the ledge with the building entrance on
it. Enter the building and pick up the automatic pistol clips in the hallway. Turn the corner of the
hall and then spin round to fill a mercenary full of lead. Grab 2 Uzi clips from the body and then head back along the walkway and cut across the middle of the room towards the other buildings near the huge red
staircase.
Run around the two buildings by the lake and shoot one dude with a small medikit. Pull the
switch in the small building near the red hall with the double doors. This opens the
double doors in the corridor where you first entered this area. Return there now and pull the switch in the
small room beyond the doors.
This floods the molten lake with water and makes it possible for Lara to swim in safety. Swim to the bottom
and pick up 3 harpoons from under the walkway. Swim into the three underwater buildings and pick up a large
medikit, 4 automatic pistol clips and 2 more automatic pistol clips. During this exercise, Lara will be
menaced by three yellow fish. Take them out with the harpoon or surface and climb out to shoot them.
Finally, swim back down to the center of the lake and pick up the Gold Nugget.
Swim to the red hall with the double doors and place the Gold Nugget in the receptacle by the doors. This
opens the doors. Go through and drop onto the brown walkway to activate a spiked wheel. Note the spiked
walls at the ends of the other two paths. Walk towards one of the walls and as it starts moving jump to the
path with the spiked wheel. After the spiked wall passes, jump back to the path before the wheel gets you!
Do not enter the areas behind the rolling blade or the spiked walls as the floor is molten lava.
Look in the left back corner to see some goodies: Take a long running jump off the path with the left
spiked wall to a ledge on the outer left wall. Pick up a box of flares and a small medikit by the skeleton.
Make your way across the paths to the path with the spiked wall on the opposite side of the room. Take a long running jump to the ledge in the right back corner.
Now start climbing to the top of the molten gold waterfall structure. Climb up until it looks like you can
go no further and look above your head for a climbing ladder. After climbing up, turn around and take a
diagonal jump to another ledge and look for a climbing ladder. Continue climbing up to the top of the
waterfall. Do a simple jump over the stream at the top. Light a flare and look down along the cliff that the waterfall is on to spot a flat ledge below.
Leap backwards onto the sloped cliff and slide down grabbing the edge. Do a safety drop to the flat ledge below. Look down the hole inside the structure to see a climbing ladder. Climb down the ladder to pick up Secret #3 - the Gold Skull. Use a jump grab to get back to the climbing ladder and climb up to the top. While you're here, take a look through the barred window to see the large medikit on a safe area of rock surrounded by collapsible tiles.
From the flat ledge, take a long running jump to another flat ledge near the far wall. Use a jump grab to climb
up on a sliding ramp and slide down to a ledge just beneath a climbing ladder. Climb back up to the top of the waterfall. Do a simple jump over the stream at the top and then look down into the deep pit to find the
climbing ladder. You need to climb down the ladder, drop onto a collapsible floor. Run around in a semi-circle across the collapsible tiles and do a long running jump to another collapsible floor on the other side of the
pit.
Finally, run to a safe ledge with a large medikit. Pick it up and run across the last collapsible tile (or
jump) so that you drop at the bottom of the pit on the earth colored area (landing in the center will kill you
from the fall, and you will burn up if you land in the molten gold). Slide down the long ramp until you stop
and then go across the bridge. Drop into the hole in the floor and notice the warriors running around
outside. Take a step towards the bars to end this huge level.
You start this level by sliding deeper into the cave system. As you slide off the first
ramp, take a standing jump with grab to a ledge ahead and pick up some flares. Do a
safety drop to the ramp below and slide down to land among 2 skeletons (which is where
you end up if you don't bother with flares. Tragically, if you do go for the flares and miss,
Lara dies!)
