Starting Inventory: Pistols (unlimited ammo), binoculars, 3 flares, 2 small medipaks, 1 large medipak

Cut scene: Lara enters the offices of Peter Stothard, former Times Editor-in-Chief. A newspaper spread across his desk reads, "The Tomb of the King Contract Given to 'The Times'."

A transcript of their dialogue appears at the bottom of the page. The upshot is that the paper's Egyptian correspondent has found new tunnels, presumably leading to an undiscovered tomb near that of Tutankhamun. Stothard talks Lara into taking a look. But first he points her to the Times' archives. There she'll be able to go over the reports made by Howard Carter, who discovered and excavated King Tut's tomb in the '20s.

Lara goes down the hall to the newspaper's morgue. The camera dollies past shelves of archived papers and we see Lara poring over a volume of bound back issues. When she's read enough, she comments, "Time to finish what Carter started."

Another cut scene: The camera pans a room with a large statue holding a lit burner. Then we see Lara sliding down a ramp into the tomb.

Turn around and look in the left corner, you’ll see a passage. Jump and Climb up. Climb up until you can’t go further, go right into a small corridor. Here is Secret #1. Shotgun-ammo and a shotgun. Now go back and enter the room with the big pillars in front. Draw your guns and shoot those 7 scorpions. At the next room you’ll find a Small Medi-kit and Flares.

Look out when entering the next room. A spiked ball will roll down. Look around in the room and pickup the Uzi-Clips and Shotgun-ammo in the upper corners. Enter the next room and go right. You’ll enter a room with gold on the floor.  :)



Pickup the goodies here first - Normal Arrows, Small Medi-kit, Shotgun-ammo and a Large Medi-kit. Now pull the cup and a block will come available in the previous room.

Now the dogs will come... Shoot the 2 dogs and enter the room where another 3 dogs await you.

Go stand on the block and do a simple standing jump forward and grab the ledge, crawl inside and go forward. Don’t waist any ammo on the mummies as they won’t die. Go forward until you reach the next room with water but don’t go to far as alligators are here to find...Shoot at the right vase and pickup the Revolver. Kill the 3 alligators in the water and take a swim. Find the underwater switch and pull it. This opens a gate on the other side of the pool that leads to the next room.

Enter the new room full of vases...

SAVE YOUR GAME!

Now don’t shoot all the vases as there can be a unpleasant surprise in it. Now shoot at some of the vases and find the goodies they held. Laser-Scoop, Shotgun-ammo, Small Medi-kit. Now move the cup to get access to the next room. Where 3 other vases are. Shoot them and you’ll find Revolver-ammo and Flares. One of the vases contains a scorpion that can be killed..

Go down the stairs and there will be a sand pit.

You cannot cross the sandpit yet... Look up and find the two lion heads high on the wall. Combine the laser-scoop with the revolver or the crossbow and shoot at the lions heads. (use the crawl and dash keys to zoom in and out) Sand will flow out of the heads and fill up the pit. This will wake up three mummies on the other side of the pit. :(

SAVE YOUR GAME!

Cross the pit and start running up the right side of the ramp. Look and see ... a Spike ball will come down. Go to the left side to avoid it.. a second spike ball will now come.. you can duck into a handy alcove on the left side. Now enter a new room and behind you a gate slams down.

Pickup the Gold Mask from the pedestal in front of the throne. A door will open now to a new room... Scarab beetles will come running at you in large numbers. Run to the center of the hall and look in the side alcoves for grates on the floor. Lure the beetles so they fall down in the grates. Now you can find the switch on the ceiling. You must face North to pull the switch, use Jump to grab it and a trap door in the ceiling will open. Climb into the open hole and a new hall will there... Run across the hall and up the stairs.



End of the Times Level.
