Walkthrough - Tomb Raider: The Dagger of Xian

CHINA - The great wall Lara jumps out of a helicopter and descends a rope to the ground near the Great Wall of China.

The level itself begins in a cave at the base of the wall. You'll need to climb up the rocks to the tower.

Cross the cavern and wad into the water, and climb onto the rocks. Look around and a tiger will emerge below you. You don’t have to kill it. Follow the ledge and do a standing jump to the next block. Jump forward to the next ledge and follow it until you can’t go forward. Climb up and turn around. Now do a running jump and land on the other side. Look to your right and take a jump towards the small ledge, here you’ll find SECRET# 1; the Stone Dragon. (look down and see a second tiger). Turn around and return across the small gap and start climbing back up until you reach the top. Take a running jump towards the other side and pull yourself up into the Guardhouse. In the right corner there is a trap door. Stand on it and you’ll drop down into the room below. Swim out of the pool and go to the top of the stairs. Take a running jump and grab the ledge near the switch. Pull the switch and the door will open. Go outside and kill the 3 crows who’ll approach you from the other building. Halfway you’ll find a slope. Slide down into the water and find the GUARDHOUSE KEY in the small underwater cave. Climb out the water and kill the tiger (Note: Wait until the tiger is away from you, climb out and use the shotgun – 2 shots).

Face the wall and climb up on the rocks to the right of the pool. Use the GUARDHOUSE KEY to unlock the door. Jump backwards and kill the 3 spiders that come running out of the building towards you. Enter the second guardhouse and climb the ladder, kill another spider and pickup the RUSTY KEY, that unlocks the door below. Enter the next room and another 3 spiders will come down from the ceiling and 1 spider behind you. Many spiders you can kill. Take the shotgun-ammo and the large medi-pack from the skeleton and move the stone block in front of the exit.

Slide down the ramp and step into the water. This area is filled with traps (sharp blades are shot across the room). Walk to the left wall, jump and grab the crevice above. Hang and traverse all the way to the right. Drop into the water and swim underwater to the corner near the door. Surface and pull up to the right side.

SAVE YOUR GAME. Next few areas are very fast to take. So start running as broken floor tiles break under you. Run over them and take a right as you enter the next room. Don’t look behind you, rolling boulders are coming now, keep running. Leap over the spikes and land on a slide, which will bring you in a room with spiked wall coming towards you. If your fast you can pickup the automatic-pistol clips on the floor. Climb up into the opening. Rest here for a moment, and again save your game.

Now, run down the next hallway, over the collapsing floor with spikes below, leaping over the three slicing blades. At the end of the hall, cut to the left. If you can manage pick up SECRET#2, the Jade Dragon before the spiked walls close in on you. Continue running down the next long hallway, keeping to the right to avoid more spiked walls moving in from the left. Slide down into the next room. Roll when you land to face the opposite direction from the spiked wall coming at you. Then run onto the collapsing floor and fall to safety in a new room.

Ahead you’ll see two huge rolling blades running across the room. In front of them is a skeleton with a small medi-pack, which you can pickup safely (look out for the blade!). Now run carefully past the blades and enter in a cave above a huge cavern. Kill the 2 spiders near the entrance on your right and 3 more will come to you if you approach the zip line. Kill them now so they won’t be a problem later.

Don’t take the zipline yet, instead stand at the edge of the huge cavern near the line and look down. You’ll see a flat, square ledge on your right. Turn around and jump backwards grabbing the ledge. Now drop safely on the the next ledge. Pull up to grab the crevace in front of you and traverse to the right until you can pull up into the small cave. Follow the path, pickup the Flares, until you reach a shaft with a ladder. Climb onto the small ladder and climb downwards into the dark. At the bottom light a flare as you can’t see much. Enter the cavern until the two skeletons. Now the fun begins as a T-REX comes towards you. Use the tunnel opening you came from for cover and shooting. When the T-Rex is dead you can safely cross the cavern and pickup SECRET# 3; the Gold Dragon.

Now a second T-Rex is coming running at you. Start running towards the tunnel which you entered this cavern and shoot the T-Rex. Climb up the ladder to the top and you’ll come out near the zip line. Kill the spider and grab the zip line, hold on as you slide down the opposite side of the cavern. Try to let go before the end of the ride onto the green area. Two tigers charge from the doorway towards you. Kill them and enter the the doorway. You'll emerge near a big wooden door. Approach the door to finish the level.

Next, a cut scene … next level.. Venice. . . .
