Training Level - (Streets of Rome)

The Tomb Raider 5 Training level takes place at the start of the main game. Lara finds herself in a Roman back street, behind the Opera House. Taking a few steps forward, she locates the door to the backstage area - this is the training level.

Go down the passage until Lara gives you instructions to vault onto the wooden crate and then climb onto the metal crate and turn around to climb onto the concrete ledge above. Go to the far end of the ledge for instruction in standing jumps. Take one from the ledge to the metal tile on the next ledge. Go through the doorway ahead to a room with a wooden floor. Here Lara explains how to do a running jump.

Take a running jump across the gap in the floor and then go around the back of the metal scaffold to the left. Jump to grab the top of this scaffold and climb onto it. Pick up the small medikit on the top and then take a standing jump over to the horizontal scaffolding running along the middle of the room. Pick up flares on the scaffolding and a large medikit in the alcove at one end (for which you'll have to crawl).

Jump back to the scaffold on the upper floor, drop down and continue through the doorway to the next room. It's the bug one! Follow Lara's instructions to do a running jump-grab across the gap and then follow the walkway to the end. Do a sideways flip to the left onto the next ledge and thengo through the door.

Jump straight up to grab the overhead bars and monkey swing across the room. On the other side, drop and climg the ladder on the wall almost to the top. Climb to the right, around the corner, and then drop off the ladder. Crawl through the low opening and turn round at the end to have Lara climb out backwards.

Use [action] to pull the switch in the alcove and open the roller door. Go down the stairs to a room with a forklift truck in a storage cage. Go to the far end of this room, climb the single height crate and jump-grab across the gap to the concrete ledge behind you. Haul up to find a swimming pool.



Jump in and swim through the underwater tunnel to another pool where you can surface. There are two exits to this pool: a door at water level, which we'll get to in a moment, and a square opening in the bottom. Swim through the square opening and follow the underwater passage to a small room where you can climb out and collect revolver bullets, shotgun shells and a large medikit. Return to the water and swim back to the previous pool.

Exit the pool through the doorway at just above the water level and and continue forwards until Lara emerges on a ledge above the long room with the first swimming pool. There's a tightrope here. Practice tightrope walking across the room and at the far end of the rope, climb down from the ledge to the floor below using the crates.

Explore the room and find the smaller room at one end beyond the stacked crates. There's some metal shelves in here that are worth searching [action] for goodies. You should find some flares. The set of black shelves in the back corner can be pushed backwards to uncover some revolver bullets. The third set of shelves in the room should be pushed backwards as far as they'll go to reveal a secret passage.

Follow this to a small room with more shelves. Pick up some Uzi clips from the floor and a golden rose by ransacking the sets of shelves. This is Secret #1. Return to the room with the tightrope and climb up the cratea to the upper level.

Go through to the next room and search the shelves here to pick up a small medikit. Keep going to the end of the room and pull the switch to open the roller door and emerge in the room where you first learned how to do a standing jump. Drop down to the floor and exit up the passage to emerge, blinking, into the Italian sunshine.

Now let's go adventuring!
