Drop into the water, then swim through the tunnel. At the other end, go down to the bottom to locate a tunnel below. Swim through until you reach a small room where you can get a revolver and shotgun ammo with a large medkit. Return back through the tunnel to the previous pool, then exit the room on the other side and continue to the next room with a tightrope. When you reach the other side, safely drop to the lower room and enter the next room. Get some flares on the left shelf, then locate the far left corner shelf that can be moved. Push it, then take the revolver ammo. Turn around, then go to the left corner shelf. Push it two times, then go through the long hall to a small room. Take the uzi clips, then get your first Golden Rose from the shelf. Head back to the room below the tightrope, then climb the crates to leave the room. In the next room, search the right shelf to get a small medkit. At the end of the passage is a lever you can pull to open the door.

Leave the room, then go right and right again through the gate to the main street. Go left through the new gate, then follow the alley until you reach a cavern with a waterfall. Go forward down the short alley to get some revolver ammo at the end, then return to the pool and light a flare. Jump in and swim forward to the ledge, then climb out and enter the next room. After the cut-scene, take the revolver ammo and save your game. This Roman Head fires green lasers out of its eyes, so you need to dodge the blasts and shoot out the eyes with your revolver in laser sight mode. You can see when the Head is powering up for another blast, so be prepared to side-flip out of the way. When the Head is gone, jump down to the floor and pick up the Mars Symbol. Go to the red machine in front, then climb ledge and jump for the scaffold above. Jump to land on top of the red machine, then collect another Rose.

Defeating the Gladiator requires backflips and jumps to dodge his attacks. The Gladiator attacks by firing energy bolts or by charging at you with his deadly sword. Wait for his charge, then run in the other direction and turn around. You need to be pretty close to fire at him. Parts of him will break away, so dodge his attacks and keep up your assault until he is totally destroyed. Upon his destruction, the window will shatter and a gate will open. Take the small medkit and some uzi clips, then exit the room through the window. Grab the small medkit to the left, then drop to the street below. Go left through the gate in front, then go left through a newly opened gate leading to the next Rose.

Things are about to get dangerous, so you better save your game. After a brief cut-scene, whip out your pistols and fire at Larson until he's injured. Save your game after the cut-scene. The Gateway Guardians have two attack modes. First they shoot out guided bolts of fire that actually seeks you out. If you take a direct hit, you will burst into flames. Even if you dodge the fire, you can still take considerable damage from the explosion when it hits any nearby surface. Second, the Guardians will also bite if you get too close. Go past them to the back and collect two shotgun shells with a large medkit, then take out your shotgun and position Lara facing the wall of the building while sidestepping toward the corner. Now side flip out and back again while firing at them. When the battle is over, take the two boxes of shotgun shells. Insert your two keys into the slots to open the Gateway, then go inside.

Back off the ledge and hang, then shimmy to the left until you stopped. Drop to the floor, then exit through the door. Use the block to reach the room above, then whip out your uzi guns to take care of another Gladiator and a lion. A quick search of the room gets you the Coliseum key which you can use to open the large doors. Saving your game would be a good idea, because the Thor Gladiator is very strong. Shoot him with your shotgun by using both ammos. When he's destroyed, the exit will be revealed. In the next room, you will find a table with another Coliseum key. Take it, then return to the previous room and use the key to unlock the second door. Slide down to the cave, but ignore the tempting treasure for now.

Go right into the next cavern where you should spot another textured ceiling that you can use to continue forward and up into the next passage. More bats attack and you must run around while dodging these creatures until they fly away. At the end of this passage is a ledge you can climb up to. Turn left and walk to the edge, then dive to land in the well with the broken roof. It's quite easy to get lost or drowned in this next part, so you may want to save. Continue to the first junction then go right. Follow the passage until you reach the next junction, then go right again. Continue into a larger area where you will notice a hole in the ceiling. Ignore it, there is no air up there. Turn left, then follow the new tunnel until you reach a vertical shaft leading to some much needed air. Swim past the dock to the right, then climb out onto a long sloped surface at the wall. Do a backflip to land on a flat ledge behind you. Now you need to move fast, because the rats are starting to nibble at your feet. Turn around, then crawl through the opening below to enter the house. Once inside, you can get a large medkit from the floor. Search the cabinet drawer for a Rubber Tube, then crawl back to the pool and do a running jump to the right while leaning to the right. Grab the dock and pull up, then turn left and jump over the wall to the other side. Quickly leave the water to the ledge in front as more rats are waiting as you climb into the opening and crawl through the gap to reach the previous area with the campfire. If you spot a fat little creature running around, make sure to keep your distance. Go past the fire to the tower in the far left corner. Quickly crawl through the gap below, because the Imp and possibly the rats will start to chase you. Follow the path to the other side, then go outside and go left. You will come to a ledge with a small cave. Run into the misty cave and get a Pitchfork hidden in the darkness, then run back outside and quickly pull up to the ledge above. Once you reach the top, you are out of danger from the menacing little creature below. Now combine your Pitchfork and Rubber Tube to make a Catapult, then use it on the wall to trigger a cut-scene that gives you a clear path to the room with the bells. Pick up the Iron Clapper in the room, then drop through the hole in the corner. Go into the left room and go behind the coffin, then look on the floor. Take the piece of wood, then exit the room. Head up the winding dirt path past the empty rooms with coffins, until you reach a large intersection. Directly ahead is a pit with a wall ladder leading down. Throw your torch into the hole, then climb down the wall ladder to the ground. Pick up your torch, then walk down the new passage until you come to a junction. The brown floor ahead will collapse, sending you into a fatal pit of spikes. Go right, then go up the ramp to the top and go right again. Head for the lit torch on the wall, then use your piece of wood to light it up. Go right, then go down the tunnel and go right again. More bats flutter around before leaving you alone. Drop your torch, then carefully crawl through the gold spikes to reach a large medkit and another Rose. Take them, then crawl through the spikes to the passage and pick up your torch. Now head to the T-junction past the lit torch, then go forward up the passage while avoiding some more bats. When you reach the top, use your torch to light the brownish roots on the ceiling. After the fire burned out, drop your torch and take the Heart. This triggers a cut-scene where Lara talks with Father Patrick about her mistake and what she must now do. Head toward the exit that Father Patrick used, then get a small medkit around the corner. Slide down the slope to return to the campfire, then retrace your path to get to the area where you first picked up your unlit torch. Continue forward, then enter the second room to the left. Pick up a small medkit behind the coffin, then go up the path to the hole. Go left up the slope, then insert the Heart in a hole next to the door. This triggers a cut-scene where several Imps exit the buildings. Enter the open door to trigger another cut-scene, where Lara defeats a small horde of those fat little Imps with the Iron Clapper. When you have control again, drop into the hole to escape the two remaining Imps. Follow the passage to a bridge, then dodge the swarming bats while you take another large medkit along the way. Now follow the path to the next level.
LABYRINTH
Turn around, then head toward the gate to trigger a cut-scene. Go to the front of the church, then locate three stone buttons on the wall. Press Middle, Left and Right. Watch another cut-scene, then go left to the Urn in the wall. Note the ghostly skeleton to your left. Keep your distance so he won't attack, then carefully make your way to the door that the wraith took. The skeletons will disappear and reappear in new locations, creating a sort of maze you must follow. Here is an easy and safe route. Move toward the left pew in the corner. Walk between the two pews to reach the pillar, then go behind the pillar to avoid the skeleton. Continue forward past the next pew then make a tight turn around the end where another skeleton is waiting. Make a tight turn to the right, then enter the next room and approach the first pew. Get the Bone Dust, then make your way back to the front of the church using the same route. Use the Bone Dust on the Urn, then it will burst into flames and send the skeletons to their final resting place. Now head for the door at the back of the chapel to the left, then go inside and locate a hidden ledge above. Climb up and pull the lever to open a gate back in the room where you found the Bone Dust. Return there, then enter the new passage. Take the large medkit, then go to the hole in the wall to get another Rose. Leave, then pick up a small medkit. Return to the room with the slope leading down, then slide down to the bat-filled room and do a safety drop into the hole. Climb out of the water to trigger another cut-scene that shows you the way to proceed. Head up the wooden ramp until you reach the opening in the wall, then follow the passage and take the small medkit along the way. Go out to the bridge with a broken railing, then turn left. Do a running jump and grab the next ledge, then shimmy around the corner until you reach a ledge you can pull up to. Do a roll, then do a running jump to reach the next ledge. Go through the next tunnel to collect another Rose, then do a running jump back to the previous ledge and shimmy back around to the left. Pull up and do a roll, then do a running jump back to the bridge. Cross the bridge, then pull the lever to rotate the central platform and lower some bridges. Cross the new bridge, then continue up the wooden ramps. Make a right through the next passage, then cross the next bridge. Ignore the lever and go right, then head up more ramps to the very top where you can crawl to get a small medkit. Now go through the opening you just passed, then follow the passage to the next bridge. Cross the bridge, then get the Bestiary Book. Jump the gap to go through the door that just opened, then continue forward until you reach a room with broken walkways. Look at the ghostly white light, they will aid you later. Get a large medkit on the floor below, then do a standing jump to grab the edge of the first walkway and pull up. Head up the ramp until you can spot the monkey bars and the crawlspace in the far wall. Do an angled jump and grab the bars, then monkey swing across to the far wall. Drop and grab again to catch the opening, then pull up into it. Continue to the spike pit in the floor, then lower yourself down. Shimmy around to the other side, then pull up. Get another Rose at the end of the tunnel, then go back to the opening and flip forward to the walkway below. Make your way back to the monkey bars and turn left, then do a standing jump to grab the walkway above. Pull up and turn around, then jump forward to reach the next walkway. Continue to the top, then save your game. Go through the exit, then slide down the slope. At the bottom, you will spot the ghostly lights. This is a maze and you must follow the light. If you get behind or fall in a pit, you will encounter the horrible monster that lives in the maze and you will die. Go forward over the first pit, then go right. Go left over the second pit, then go to the wall. Turn left, then jump over the third pit and go left. Jump over the fourth pit and go right, then go down the slope to the room below. At the bottom, take the large medkit then go forward to start the next cut-scene and end the level.
OLD MILL
Go forward to witness a cut-scene, then go left through the tunnel until you drop into a pit. Climb out of the pit, then go right until you reach the canyon. You will get a nice view of the area as well as two Imps who comes out to toss rocks at you. Do a running jump towards the rope, then grab it and slide down to the end. Spin around to face the ledge with the torch, then use the sprint key to start swinging. Launch yourself towards the platform. Take the torch, then head back to the tunnel. Go right, then make a left at the bottom to avoid some bats. Light your torch with the one on the wall, then turn around. Go left, then drop your torch.

Crawl through the low gap, then go around the corner to the left. When the path gets too narrow, back off the ledge and shimmy to the left. Pull up into the final crawlspace to continue. Tumble forward into the next room, then get a large medkit on the floor and some Chalk that can be pried from the wall by using your crowbar. Now retrace your path back to the beginning of the level, then locate the smooth section of ground to the left. Use the Chalk to draw a symbol on the floor, then this will trigger a very exciting cut-scene. Enter the nearby opening, then slide down the slope to start another cut-scene. Turn around, then go to the wall and go right. Drop into the stream of water, then swim down the very long tunnel with the current pushing you. When you reach the waterwheel, climb up the left ledge then go through the tunnel to the next area. Go left while turning to the right, then crawl through a cave at the end. Take a large medkit at the end of the passage. The passage ahead bursts into flames and you have no choice but to face the heat.

Turn the wheel on the wall to start the final cut-scene and end your adventures on the spooky island.
13th FLOOR
Here we are on the final chapter of the game. Lara is seeking the Iris witch is now in the custody of Verner Von Croy. Naturally, this item is heavily guarded by all sorts of soldiers and advanced security systems. You also have the assistance of a computer hacker named Zip who will guide you through the levels. Listen to Zip, then proceed down the hall to the left. Shoot the vent cover in laser-sight mode with your HK in sniper mode. Take the large medkit, then crawl through the vent to watch a cut-scene plays. Continue to the end of the shaft, then turn right staying down to avoid a laser that's moving above. Get a large medkit, then turn around. Approach the hole in the bottom of the shaft. Lasers protect this opening, so watch the laser moving overhead. When it goes away, quickly stand and jump over the hole. Continue forward to the end, then go through the vent on the right and do a forward flip to the dark room below. Search the shelves to get a small medkit, a Hammer and some ammo for your HK. Climb back through the vent and go right, then shoot the next vent cover with your laser-sight in sniper mode. Flip forward into the new tunnel, then immediately duck to avoid the moving lasers. Turn left, then wait for the laser to move behind. Now stand up and make a run for the opening at the end of the passage. Crawl around the corner, then go through the hatch to get another Rose. Now, retrace your route back to the beginning of the level. Security lasers are now protecting the hall, watch their movement and learn the pattern. When the top lasers start to move away from you, run after it then quickly jump over the bottom lasers that are approaching. Crawl to the end of the passage, then wait for the top laser to come and go. Stand and climb the wall ladder to the next vent, then move forward until a cut-scene plays showing you the Iris. Follow the passage to the end, then collect some more ammo for the HK. Walk down the next passage to keep quiet. After a brief cut-scene showing the huge guard below, approach the gate. Shoot the lock with your laser-sight in sniper mode, then the duct will break. You will slide down to the room with the guard. Aim in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped, then shoot him in the head. Return to the duct, then drop through the opening to the floor below. Sprint through the duct to avoid some explosions, then pick up a small medkit at the end. Climb the wall ladder to the room above. You are now in a tall room with a ladder and another security laser moving back and forth. Before climbing the ladder, pull up into the alcove to get some more HK ammo. Drop down, then go to the front of the ladder. Time your climb to avoid contact by sticking to the right side of the ladder, then start your climb as the laser moves off to the left. At the top, shoot the shaft cover in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped. Climb into it, then go left to get more HK ammo. Walk to the other end of the vent, then you should be able to spot a guard without being seen. A quick headshot in silent mode using your laser-sight will silence him. Flip forward to the hall below. Big red beams block your path, so target the damaged vent cover in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped. Crawl through until you can stand, then draw your HK in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped. Destroy the vent, then exit to the hall. Listen to Zip who gives you a clue about the sleeping guard ahead. Keep quiet as you walk around the glass wall while getting the High Level Access Card from the desk. Use this card to enter the nearby supply room behind the guard. A quick search of the shelves will get you a small medkit and some HK ammo. Return to the main passage, then shoot the guard in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped. Run to the elevator and press the button to open the door, then enter and use the panel to reach the next floor. Two guards can be seen talking to the right as you walk out. Crawl toward the triangular door to the left, then use your new access card to enter the room. Here are two lab technicians inside who won't bother you if you don't bother them. Locate the button on the central table, then press it to watch a hologram of the Iris. Quietly leave this room, those guards are still talking by the crates. Shoot them in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped, then walk to the end of the hall and stop at the corner leading to the right. Peek around the corner, then wait for the guard to walk away. A quick headshot in silent mode with your laser-sight equipped will silence him. Run toward the Iris, which can be seen through the metal cage below, then head through the door on the other side of the room while ignoring the man in the radiation suit. Press the switch to the far left to release a radiation suit from its compartment. You aren't after the suit, but rather the Access Code Disc that drops out with the suit. Take the disc, then return back to the elevator. Return to the main floor, then walk to the sleeping guard and turn right. The red beams are now gone. Go down the passage to the computer terminal, then use the disc to open the vent. Climb into the hatch, then locate the pole on the right. Watch and learn the sequence of the explosions that runs from the top to the bottom of the shaft. Slide down the shaft to the middle, then backflip into the gap to get another Rose. Drop to the bottom of the shaft, then crawl through the low opening until you reach a walkway overlooking a large room. Below, is a door being guarded by one of those armoured troopers. After hearing from Zip, walk quietly across the walkway until you reach a hall leading to a room with some shelves. Search the shelves for a small medkit and a Cloth. Head to the next walkway, then quietly make your way down to the floor below. Locate the door on the far right then walk to it. Use the access card to get inside, then search the closet in the corner to get some Chloroform that you can combine with the cloth and also a large medkit. Open the second closet to get more Chloroform and a small medkit. The glass tank holding the insects, burst open and you need to leave this room quickly. Walk up to the trooper and get behind him, then use the Chloroform-soaked cloth to put him to sleep. Now use the access card to open the door, then enter the next room. Walk down the passage until the next door opens with a trooper, then quickly target in laser-sight mode and take him out with a headshot in silent mode. Run and get the Iris Lab Access Disc from the dead guard, then get some HK ammo from where you entered. Locate the computer terminal around the corner, then use the new access disc to open the door to the next guarded room. Crawl down the hallway, then wait for the guard to go the other way. Crawl behind him, then go into the second opening and hide. Wait for him to go past your hiding place, then quickly run around the corner to the next room. You will find a scientist hard at work and Zip calls to tell you not to kill him. Kill the Guard and the scientist in rapid mode. Now you've done it, shooting the scientist brings in two guards. Let them come around the corner, then you can easily kill them one by one in rapid mode with your laser-sight equipped. After you killed them, sprint past the turret gun on the ceiling then go left and head for the door on the left while killing another guard with your HK in rapid mode. Run down the next passage, then kill another guard in rapid mode. Go near the next room, but watch out for the laser that rolls by. When the beam goes right, go left to get another Rose. Turn around, then wait for the laser to come and go. Run to the middle, then duck for the laser to pass by. Go forward, then go right up the stairs. Enter the Iris control room, then pull the switch on the wall to turn off the security force field. It only stays off for a few seconds, so quickly make your way down to the bottom and enter the Iris room to get your treasure before the force field is activated. Head through the other door to exit the level.
ESCAPE WITH THE IRIS
Continue around the corner to enter the next room, then Zip will tell you to drop your weapon in the tray so you can pass through the X-ray scanner. Go through the scanner, then skip the first box with the bomb in it. Get the small medkit from the second box. Continue to the small room with a lounge, then enter the next room. Listen to Zip's advice, he will tell you to avoid the stairs and elevators. Pick up the HK ammo on the floor to the right. You can see the elevators at the end of the hall, but don't go any further than this because there are invisible lasers blocking your way. Why don't you use your glasses to see them. Turn around, then use the security monitor on the wall. You will see an armed soldier outside. Go down the hall, then enter the first door that leads to an office. Search the glass cabinet to get some Chloroform, then leave the office. Go right to trigger a cut-scene showing a guard up ahead. Quietly walk into the next office on the right, then search the cabinet drawer to find a Cloth. Return to the hall, then sneak into the final office to the right. Search the cabinet drawer for a small medkit. Combine your cloth and Chloroform, then sneak back to the hall to put the guard to sleep. Run down the hall, then enter the second office to get another bottle of Chloroform from the glass cabinet. Go to the third office, then search the cabinet drawer to find the Restroom Access Card. Go back down the hall, then go to the locked door with the keypad next to it. The code is 8526, then use the keypad to enter the number. Enter the bathroom to the left, then kick open the middle door. Take the large medkit, then leave the bathroom and go through the left door. Kick open the first door, then jump up to pull the ceiling hatch above. Climb into the air vent, then proceed to the long vertical shaft. Back off the edge and hang, then drop and grab again. Drop once more to safely reach the bottom. Save your game, then go left through the small hole. Back off the ledge to climb onto the textured wall. You now need to do a backflip with a roll and grab the chain behind you. It can be hard, but try. Slide down the chain to the ledge, then turn around. Take a step back, then jump into the alcove to get another Rose. Jump back to the ledge, then climb the chain to the very top of the shaft. Backflip with a roll to the ledge, then face the alcove to the left. Now locate the bar above, then do a running jump with a grab to catch it. Time your release so that you can land in the alcove on the other side. Now line up to do a tricky diagonal jump to the top of the elevator. Cross over to the far side of the elevator car, then get some HK ammo. Open the roof hatch, then drop into the car and press the button to open the doors. Quietly walk out of the elevator to the left, then press the button to open the door for the next elevator. Enter, then press the button to ride to the next floor. Now when the camera shows the inside of the elevator, side-flip to the left. Three guards are waiting for you on this floor, so quickly press the button to try another floor. The gunfire damages the elevator and you start to fall to the ground. Quickly jump forward, then press the keypad to activate the emergency brakes and avoid a horrible death. Exit the car through the ceiling hatch, then turn around. Line up with the bar. Do a standing jump and grab the bar, then release at the right time to grab the other ledge. Pull up to the ledge, then climb the textured wall on the right. When you reach the area where there's a vent to your left, backflip to land on a ledge behind you. Now you can do a running jump to reach the next bar and swing around to launch yourself to the other ledge. Jump and grab the edge of the gap, then pull up into it. Save your game, then drop down onto the sloped floor. As soon as you hit the second slope and touching the grid line, immediately jump and grab the bar above. Wait for the fire to go out, then release the bar to launch yourself towards the next bar and grab it. Watch the fire on the ledge. When it goes out, release the bar to land on the ledge. Move away from the vent before more flames shoot out. You can reach the opening in the left wall with a standing jump and proceed across the elevator shaft by walking on the pole. Once across this obstacle, take the bottle of Chloroform then slide down the next shaft where you can spy a guard patrolling the next passage. There is no way to sneak past this guard, so save your game and crawl through the opening to the hall. Turn right, then sprint down the hall to the aquarium in front while the guard opens fire and shatters the glass. Take another Rose in the corner of the tank, then go right while avoiding gunfire as best you can. Continue up the metal walkway, then you will be given a visual clue that a sniper is targeting you. Circle around to the right, then climb the metal bars leading to the ledge above. You are safe for the moment. Use your glasses, then zoom in on the fire extinguisher and the button to the left. Run up to the fire extinguisher, then pause for just a second. If you time it just right, a sniper bullet will hit it and cause a huge explosion and reveal a secret area with another Rose. Go get it, then go press the button on the wall to deactivate the security beams below and open the door. Back off the ledge to the floor below, then run for the passage to avoid more sniper fire. Go down the passage until you reach a gap in the floor, then do a running jump with a twist to avoid curtain death. A guard will enter the hall and begin firing at you. Dodge his attacks, then one of the bullets will shatter the tank and short out the security system. Press the button on the left wall, then the door will open. Quickly enter the room, then go to the left. Zip will tell you about the next trap. Walk over to the pair of buttons on the wall, then push them both to disable the gun turrets. Walk to the open door, then run down the passage and turn right to go through another door. Continue past the machine to the left, then enter the storage room with a bunch of booby-trapped boxes. Roll, then jump and grab the ceiling hatch to open it. Climb into the vent shaft, then crawl around to the other side of the protective glass and press the button to activate the X-ray scanner. Locate the box with the object inside, then crawl back to the storage room. Locate the same box, then open it to get a Teleporter Disc inside. Go back to the previous room, then locate the computer terminal near the door where you can use the disc. Climb up to the platform with the big X, then use the Iris in the receptacle to transport to another room. Turn to the left, then drop through the hole in the floor. Continue through the red passage, then climb out on the other side. Now walk until you hear from Zip. Using the zoom capabilities of your headset, watch the combination the guard uses to open the door to the security room. When you got the code, go forward to the crawlspace. Wait for the guard to come by again. When he goes through the door, crawl out. Run down the hall, then pick up a vial of Chloroform on the floor. Combine the cloth and Chloroform, then run back to the crawlspace and hide under it until the guard comes again. This time when he goes through the door again, crawl out then run to the keypad. Enter the combination, then save your game. Now try to run up the ramp until you are close to the alcove on the right. Walk up the ramp to the guard, then put him to sleep. He must be at the top standing still and he must not notice you. Now that he's gone, go over the crate then get a large medkit beyond. Go to the front of the room, then press the button on the wall to deactivate the X-ray machine. Crawl through the small red-lit opening on the right side, then climb onto the ledge. A trapdoor opens and you can flip forward down to the hall where you started the level. Take your HK Rifle from the tray, then continue through the now-deactivated scanner. Go through the lounge room to reach the hall, then go left to the door on the right. Face the second fire extinguisher, then aim with your laser-sight in sniper mode. Destroy it, then go through to end this level.
RED ALERT
Before you go up the stairs, target the head of the armed soldier above then kill him in silent mode. He will plunge to a horrible death. Go up, then jump over to the ledge he was on. Do a running jump to grab the next platform, then pull up and head up the stairs and turn right. As you start up another set, get ready to grab as the stairs collapse. Go through the alcove to the left where you can get another Rose, then jump back to the ladder and finish your climb to the top. Continue forward by doing a standing jump to the next platform, then do a running jump to land on the one after that. Start up the next flight of stairs, then jump to land on the ledge above. You should be able to find a section of crumbling wall that you can kick down, revealing a narrow passage you can crawl through. When you reach the next area, run smack into the wall. Now sidestep to the right, then turn left. Jump up and grab to pull down the hatch. Climb out, then kill the guard in rapid mode. Go to the next corridor, then listen to Zip who tells you to investigate the area on the right. Using your glasses should easily spot a series of lasers blocking your way. Climb up on the nearby crates to get HK and Grappling ammo. To pass the lasers, equip the HK in sniper mode then aim with your laser-sight and destroy the red valve on the pipe at the end of the hall. Steam escapes, making the lasers visible on one side. Watch them to learn the pattern. It goes on and off, witch makes it very difficult to get through. You can also use the white lines on the floor to see a laser beam. Once you get through this tricky hallway, climb some boxes to the top to get a large medkit. Continue towards the elevator, then it will open releasing a guard. Kill him quickly in rapid mode, then enter the elevator and press the button to go to the next floor. Watch out for another attacker as you exit the elevator. Kill him in rapid mode, then go through the left blue door in front. Take the HK ammo from the shelf, then save your game. This is a target practice room and yes you must do this to get the next Rose. For the first range, press the button to activate the targets. Ready the HK in sniper mode and in laser sight mode, then destroy each target before it crosses the line on the floor nearest the window. Shoot them in this order: center, left, right, far left, far right. Once you enter the second room, save your game then take some more HK ammo from the shelf. Guess what, you can't leave the room once you push the button for the next range of targets. To make things worse, poison gas also begins to leak in and you have to finish all the targets before they cross the middle line. The first seven targets pop up one at a time in this order: center, left, far right, right, left, far left, far right. If you shoot all of them, the last three targets will pop up together. Shoot them in this order: center, left, right. Quickly head up the ramp and into the armoury room on the left where you can collect some HK ammo and a golden Rose. Leave and go across to the armoury room, then get more HK ammo and a Grappling Gun from the green weapon rack. Kill a guard in rapid mode who shows up, then approach the door to the next room. Get some more Grappling ammo from the shelf, then enter the next room. Take out your HK, then walk towards the crates to the left. When you see the guard, shoot him in rapid mode. Now use your Grappling Gun, then aim for the vent in the ceiling. Jump up to the highest box, then get some more HK ammo from the top. Do a running jump to grab the rope. Swing towards the damaged section of the wall, then grab on. Shimmy along the wall to the right until you can pull up into the opening. Save your game, then slide down to the previous hall where two Armed Troopers are on their way. Duck into the room on the right, then roll while taking out your HK in sniper mode. In laser sight mode, wait for one of the soldiers to come into the room. Now shoot him in the head, then wait for the next one to die. Return to the elevator, then ride it back to the previous floor. Walk against the left wall with your HK drawn. When you spot the guard in laser sight, aim for his head and kill him in sniper mode. Make your way through the dangerous lasers, then drop through the floor hatch. Head back to the stairs outside. Use the Grappling Gun on the stairs above to attach a rope, then jump to the rope and swing to the opening on the other side. As soon as you release the rope and land on the ramp, jump again to grab the next ledge above the fire. Pull up, then save your game. (Bug Note: Avoid saving your game between finishing the storeroom and exiting the lobby through the ceiling hatch) Crawl through the gap, then flip forward to the right to drop down on a crate. Use your HK in laser sight mode, then kill the guard in sniper mode. Don't miss, or he will activate a ceiling turret and you will die. Safely drop to the floor, then pull the switch to open the door. Take the large medkit, then leave the room and go right to the elevator. Press the button and go in, then press the button to ride it to the next floor. Take out your HK in rapid mode. When you exit the elevator, two Swat Teams descend from the ceiling on ropes. Kill them while they still slide. Notice the door to the helipad with the white key receptacle at the top of the stairs, you'll need to find a key to unlock the door. To exit the lobby, go to the top step then turn around. Face the rope on the right side, then do a running jump to grab it. Swing to the top of the crates, then bump into the wall. Take one step back, then jump up and grab to open the ceiling hatch. Kill two more Swat Teams in rapid mode that suddenly appear. Go through the duct towards a button, then the floor drops out from under you and you will slide down a chute to the floor below. (Bug Note: This next section has a serious bug, only save your game here) Turn around, then continue to a four-way intersection. Two doors are blocked by lasers. Go through the door on the right, then another laser-trapped doorway is to the left and a crawlspace is to the right. Go through the crawlspace, then climb the vent into a metal duct. When you approach the end of the duct, the gate swings open. You should see a Cyborg lurking below. (Bug Note: This room should be dry. If there is water on the floor when you first entered, the savegame bug has been activated and you'll need to load up a previous save and try again) Run off the right corner to the pink crate below, then pick up some more ammo for your HK. (Note: More ammo will appear if you run out) While standing on the crate, turn around then target the red valve in sniper mode with your laser sight equipped. Shoot the valve to burst the pipe and flood the room. You should see water coming out of the pipe and the floor will now be covered with water. Do a standing jump back to the duct, then move away from the opening. Position yourself near the edge of the duct, then shoot in burst mode with your laser-sight equipped. If the Cyborg shoots at you, hop away from the opening then walk forward again and keep shooting each time he walks past. This requires a great deal of patience, but it helps to save your health allot and allot of ammo. If the Cyborg doesn't show, drop down to the crate then jump back to the duct to lure him out. As the Cyborg takes damage, his robotic skeleton will start to show. When he starts to burst with blue electricity, he's nearing death. A few more shots, then he'll short out and collapse. Once the Cyborg is destroyed, you can save your game in another slot. Do not hop down into the water, or you will die. Instead, drop to the crate then carefully line up a running jump to the sloped duct. Keep in the jump key until you land on the top duct. Drop to the black metal grate just to the right, then pick up another Grappling hook. Equip the Grappling Gun, then shoot in laser sight mode to the grate in the ceiling. Climb on top of the duct, then walk to the edge. Take one hop back, then do a standing jump to grab the rope. Swing to the open grate at the top of the room, then grab the edge and pull up. Go to the back of the alcove, then use the switch to drain the room below. (Bug Note: Do not save your game again after using the switch. If you reload, the room will be flooded and you won't be able to get the Key) Do a running jump from the opening past the dangling rope to the top of the duct, then get some more Grappling ammo on the black grate. Safely drop to the floor, then pick up the large medkit and the Key Bit near the Cyborg. Pulling the switch to drain the room, also closed the vent over the duct. Climb and swing back up to the alcove, then pull the switch to re-flood the room and re-open the duct. Again, do a running jump from the opening to the top of the duct. Hang from the edge, then let go and grab again to grab the bottom edge. Pull up, then follow the duct and crawlspace to the doorway in front. The lasers in the doorway is now deactivated. (Bug Note: There is another potential bug in the next section. Avoid saving your game between the beginning of the first run past the helicopter and when you trap the second Cyborg) As soon as you enter the hallway, a helicopter lets loose a storm of machine gun fire. This makes the yellow tanks explode, while blowing away large sections of floor and hurting you if you are nearby. Don't worry if you don't see any tanks. To get to the other side of the building, run past the helicopter. Jump the pits as you go, but stay in the middle to avoid the overhanging beams on the right. When you’re in the little corner lounge, catch your breath for a while. (Note: If you save here, be sure to do it in a new slot in case you activate the bug.) The helicopter turns the corner and will continue to shoot you when you enter the next room. Run into the room, cutting to the left. Go behind the bar, then immediately duck. Crawl to the end where you can stand, then press the button. Zip says something over the headset which you can barely hear over the noise of the helicopter. Pressing the button opens your way out, but it also lets in a second Cyborg. He'll be waiting for you in the small corner lounge. Crawl to the gap in the bar, then stand up and run into the corner lounge. Now make another run across the pits under the heavy fire with the Cyborg and the chopper. Because you pressed the button in the bar, the doorway ahead is blocked by lasers. Sprint through the doorway on the right, then go up the ramp and down to the other side. Go to the left hallway and make a turn, then go down the stairs on the left. If you see the Cyborg entering the room above, pull the switch to trap him. (Note: If you were unable to trap the Cyborg, reload and try again) If you succeed and want to save now, i'd recommend saving in a new slot just in case. Go up the ramp, then turn left and follow the hallway to the four-way intersection. Go through the door on the left. This passage leads into a room with poison gas. You will soon die after you run out of air and you will also take a little damage from the gas. Sprint straight through the first room, then go through the second room and turn left to the third room. Look to the right near the floor for a crawlspace, then go in to get the final Rose of the game. Crawl back out, then jump onto the low platform and pull the switch. Roll, then sprint straight across to the second room. Go right, but a soldier will try to stop you. Don't wait around to fight him, just run past him to the next room and go through the door on the right. Jump to another platform, then pull another switch. This clears the poison gas from this room and lets gas into the next room, killing the Cyborg. When the he’s dead, flip the switch again to clear the gas from that room. It will start to fill up the room you're in, so sprint out of this room into the next room, then out the door on the right. Back at the four-way intersection, go through the door on the right then continue down the ramp to the right to pull the switch under the grate. This re-opens the doors above. Go up the ramp, then go to the right. Go to the room where the Cyborg died, then pick up the Key Bit he dropped. You should now have two halves. Go through the hallway, then run up the ramp and down to the other side. Quickly go to the right to avoid the helicopter, then save your game in a new slot. Now you're back at the four-way intersection, go right then left. Turn around, then jump to grab the wall ladder leading up the shaft. Climb into the duct above witch should be open, then follow it back to the lobby. Zip will congratulate you on a mission well done. Combine the two Key Bits to make the Helipad Key, then use it to open the big door. Go up the ramp to end the game.
