(NOTE: The regular pick-ups in
this level will include the MP5 assault rifle, shotgun, Uzis and harpoon
gun if you don't have them already. Also, you may get one fewer kills on
your final stats screen even if you do kill everything. This is noted in
the section TRAIN WRECK ABOVE DEEP PIT.)
OUTDOOR AREA WITH CRATES: Kill the
gunman lurking behind the crates near the
truck. Pick up some flares on top of the
yellow crate between the starting position and the truck. Between the
truck and the door in the far corner of this area is a movable
box (it's blue). Get between the truck and the box and push it
once to get the Desert Eagle clips
underneath. Also get some MP5 clips on the
low cement ledge near the door.
INSIDE THE BUILDING: Use the switch
to open the door and go inside. The tunnel worker
in the orange jumpsuit won't attack Lara right away, but he's not
exactly friendly. He'll go into the next room to get 2
buddies. Then the three will attack together when Lara comes in.
So kill the first guy, then the other two, rather than all three at
once. Get the small med-pack near the bank
of computers.
Find another movable
blue crate in the inner room. Push the crate from the side toward
the black grating. Pick up the shotgun shells
underneath, then pull the crate back to its original position. Doing
this opens the black grate so you can get into the room behind. Here
you'll find more shotgun shells and, if you
climb behind the yellow boxes, a large med-pack,
which is secret #1.
Now find the ventilation ducts with
horizontal slats to the left of the stairs. Shoot the slats with pistols
to break them. Climb onto the ledge and wait for the fire
traps to cycle off before running past each one.
DRILL SHAFT: At the top of the
stairs is an open hole with a huge drill
above. Note the location of the ladder on the inside wall at the far
side of the shaft. Go around to that side, position Lara with her chest
against the outer wall and her back to the small gray plaque with the
red lightning bolt on it. Then back flip onto the sloped ledge above the
ladder. Hold the Action key to grab the edge. Now you need to climb down
the ladder as quickly as you can to avoid the descending
drill. Rapidly pressing and releasing the Action key will help
Lara make a quick descent. Climb down only as far as the bottom of the
blue area. Below that, there's a fire trap.
Wait for Lara's legs to come back up onto the ladder before climbing
over to the ledge on the left and dismounting. Stand close to the wall
after letting go of the ladder to avoid being toasted by another
fire trap on the ledge. When the flame abates, move to the other
side of the ledge and pick up the MP5 clips.
(NOTE: If you don't yet have the MP5
ASSAULT RIFLE, you'll get it here instead of the clips.)
EXHAUST FANS: Wait for both
drills to go past. Then take a running jump across the shaft to
the opposite ledge, near the huge fan. Use
the switch on the side of the metal block
to open a trapdoor beyond the fan. Climb onto the block and climb into
the crawlspace. Quickly crawl to the corner where Lara can stand and
kill 2 rats. Use the switch
to turn off two of the big fans. Pick up the small
med-pack. Then crawl to the end of the passageway opposite the
switch, turn around and safety drop to the floor.
Lara lands in a doorway. Instead of going
down through it, turn left and climb into the hallway with the round
"Euro Chunnel Ltd." sign on the wall. Continue to one of the
fans you just turned off. Climb onto the ledge to the right of the fan
and shoot the vent with horizontal slats. Enter the passageway behind.
Shoot the vent at the end and slide down to get some grenades.**
Take a standing jump back up the slope to the passageway and return to
the fan that's not running. Go past it to the trapdoor you opened
earlier. Slide backwards into the opening, grab the edge and drop to the
walkway below.
IN THE TUNNELS: Go around the
corner behind the support pillar to get some flares.
Then slide down the sloped wall ahead, or safety drop from the ledge,
taking care not to get too near the burning barrel.
Cross the room and climb onto the metal ledge above the deep
drill shaft. Take a running jump across the shaft to the other
side. (You'll hear a door opening farther on.)
If you wait at the right side of this
ledge for a moment, you'll get a nice, clear shot at the gunman
in the doorway above on the left. Take him out, then hop down off the
ledge, climb up onto the uneven cement ledge on the right, then hop back
down and kill an orange-suited worker who
comes over the ledge. Take his small med-pack.
Climb over the ledge, go behind the
support pillar and climb onto the walkway where the gunman was. Go up
the ramp. Watch out for the fire trap at
the top. When the flames abate, run through, then turn around. Take a
diagonal standing jump onto the ledge on the right above the fire trap.
Notice how the middle vent of the three on the wall has horizontal
slats. Shoot this vent and go to the end of the short passageway behind
it. Turn around and climb into the passageway above. Continue to a room
with a grating floor above where you were earlier. Pick up a small
med-pack and shotgun shells. (NOTE:
If you missed the SHOTGUN in the earlier
levels, you'll get it here instead of the shells.) Return down to
the ramp near the fire trap.
Head to the left. (You'll hear the yellow
door closing at the bottom of the ramp where you entered.) Slide down
the ramp onto a small ledge above the train tracks. A brief cut scene
shows a large gate opening at the left end of the tracks.
THE TRACKS: Hop down onto the
tracks and quickly take a standing jump up the slope to the ledge near
the yellow door to avoid the high-speed
train. Now if you like, you can take a detour for a secret.
Run down the tracks to the right (i.e.,
where the gates opened; this is to the right if Lara's back is to the
yellow door). Stay close to the left side of the tunnel. You'll notice a
med-pack on the tracks ahead and hear dramatic music just before another
train emerges from the tunnel. When it gets close to Lara, just
hug the left tunnel wall while running, and the train should miss Lara.
Pick up the large
med-pack. Then turn around and walk back along the tunnel to an
opening on the right side. Take a standing jump up the slope to get
inside. This is secret #2. Pick up a
rocket and continue along the tunnel into a
cave with an antique steam engine. Behind the engine you'll find the ROCKET
LAUNCHER (loaded with one rocket). Exit the way you came.
Return up the tracks to the yellow door.
Use the switch to open it. It's timed to
close but the timer isn't particularly fast. Enter and kill an orange-suited
worker and another guy with a gun.
One drops flares when he dies. You'll also
find the QUAD BIKE behind the yellow boxes.
Get on the quad bike and ride up the
ramps clockwise beginning near the yellow door. Line up a straight run
from this room over the tracks to the opposite opening. Use turbo to
jump the tracks (another high-speed train
goes past) and speed on across the deep pit lined
with toxic goo. At the top of the ramp beyond the pit, cut
sharply to the right to avoid going over the edge into another
pit. Once you've reached this area, carefully turn the bike so
the fenced opening is be behind Lara. Line up a jump across the second
pit using the right edge of the uneven cement ledge as a ramp. Use turbo
to jump to the opening beyond. Keep on going into the next area. Run
over the orange-suited worker on the right
side of the train, or dismount and shoot him.
(NOTE: I found that when I ran
over this guy it wasn't counted as an official kill on the stats screen.
Other roadkills did count, however.)
TRAIN WRECK ABOVE DEEP PIT: If you
like, you can explore the area near the engine of the wrecked train now.
(You'll be returning here to get a secret, so you can do this later if
you like.) The machine off to the left of the train engine has a switch
to turn it on. For whatever odd reason, this opens one of the portable
toilet doors around the corner. To get to the toilets walk along the
left side of the train (i.e., left when facing the nose), then go left,
skirting the rim of the pit.
For whatever even odder reason, the
toilet you just opened contains a mainframe computer. Lara says
"No" when you try to use it, indicating that you're missing a
necessary item. The other two toilets open when you approach. The one on
the left contains shotgun shells. The one
on the right more shells and a worker
who probably never expected this piss would be his last.
Now, if you want to, you can get one more
pick-up before descending. (Or, wait until you return later in the
process of getting the last secret.) Go around the train to the right
side (when facing the pit). Climb over the yellow ledge onto a gray
ledge at the edge of the pit. Draw a weapon (the shotgun works well
here) and take a diagonal standing jump over to the next ledge on the
right. Try to kill the orange-suited worker
before he reaches the barrel and sets it on fire. Then climb onto the
ledge behind the barrel to get a rocket. If
the worker does ignite the barrel, you can
still get the rocket, either by carefully climbing onto the ledge at its
left edge, taking some heat damage, or by waiting until you pass this
way again later in the level.
Now it's time to explore down in the pit.
You can do this on foot or on the quad bike. I've described the action
on the quad bike in this walkthrough. (I may include notes for walking
later on.)
DESCENDING ON THE QUAD BIKE:
Position the quad bike at the base of the brown ramp on the right side
of the wrecked train engine. Jump the bike up onto the train. Don't use
turbo—you don't need it—and as soon as you land the bike on top of
the train, cut to the right and brake to keep from going over the edge.
Line up a jump along the top of the train (right side) across the pit to
the tunnel opening on the other side. You need a good run-up, but
there's no need to use turbo. When you ride up the uneven ledges into
the opening, veer into the tunnel on the right to avoid the flaming
barrel on the ledge ahead.
If you like a challenge, you can now go
through a lot of contortions to get a single set of Uzi
clips. It may be worthwhile if you don't yet have the UZIS
themselves, since you can get them here in addition to the clips.
Position the quad bike pointing diagonally up the rocky hill at the
right side of the opening above the pit. The flaming barrel is behind
Lara on the right. Run up the rocks, cutting sharply to the right at the
top to land on the corner ledge below. Dismount and pick up the guns.
Then carefully turn the bike around to face the opening you came from.
Run up the rocky ledge and cut to the left to clear the peak. Then
quickly turn right again to stop from crashing into the flaming
barrel.
Drive down through the tunnel, making a
U-turn at the bottom. You'll hear some dramatic music and see a sniper
running past the fenced opening. Dismount and walk out onto the jutting
ledge to get a small med-pack. Get back on
the bike and race along that jutting ledge to jump to the ledge in the
opposite corner of the pit. Turn left and drive carefully along
the rocky shelf along the rim of the pit. Dismount behind the support
beam and shoot 2 snipers—one on a ledge
above the sloped rim of the pit, the other (the same one you saw running
out when you drove down through the tunnel) in the doorway opposite.
Pick up some flares
on the ground near where you stopped the bike. Then get back on the bike
and continue along the sloped, brown rim of the pit to the doorway in
the opposite corner (i.e., the door at the right end of the cement ledge
at the base of the blue support pillars).
Once inside this room, dismount and pick
up 2 sets of MP5 clips, one near the dead
sniper and one on the stairs. Kill the 2 rats
that sneak up the stairs when you pick up the second set of clips. And,
if you like, go back out onto the cement ledge to shoot another
sniper down below across the pit. (Or save your ammo and wait to
run him over.) Get back on the bike and drive down into the hole next to
the stairs. It's quite a drop, but Lara will be all right. Note the
med-pack and machines behind the fence. You'll get there soon.
For now, go into the tunnel. If you go on
foot, an orange-suited worker appears and
the barrel ignites. If you stay on the quad
bike, neither of these things happen. Once you're inside the tunnel near
the barrel, you can dismount to kill that sniper
across the way if you didn't do so already. Or, jump the gap and run him
over. (The worker won't appear if you get off the bike after
driving into the tunnel.) To jump the gap, start at the slight hump just
beyond the barrel. Use turbo to rev the engine then take off.
Dismount on the other side and go into
the room on the right to get a pair of grenades.
Come back to the quad bike and pull the switch
on the orange support column to open a gate across the pit.
(NOTE: If after getting the
grenades you go up the ramp and slide back down into the tunnel with the
barrel, you can still get back to the other side. Face the pit and walk
to the left side of the opening. Beyond some uneven rocks is a small,
flat ledge. Slide down onto it then take a running jump to the walkway
with the key card.)
Pick up the DRILL
ACTIVATOR CARD before jumping across the gap and riding through
the gate you just opened.
Inside the room beyond the gate is an
alcove with a small med-pack (the one you
could see through the fence from the bottom of the pit near the stairs).
Get it, go through the room with the burning
barrel and climb into the opening onto the metal walkway. Kill 2
tunnel workers and take a small med-pack
and flares from the bodies.
TUNNEL-BORING MACHINE: Go to the
right end of the tunnel behind the machine. You'll find some Uzi
clips behind one of the portable toilets. Take them and climb on
top of the toilet to kill the 3 rats that
come out to nibble on Lara.
Climb onto the back of the tunnel-boring
machine and use the switch to turn it on.
This also opens a trapdoor where the metal walkway crosses the machine.
Drop in here and use the DRILL ACTIVATOR CARD in the white card reader
on the wall. Climb out and go to the front of the drill. You'll see it
has dug out a section of tunnel, revealing an opening in the ground.
Slide down inside this tunnel, kill a couple of
rats, and use the switch. Walk out
to the gate you just opened and take a running jump to grab the opening
on the other side of the pit. Pull up and take the PUMP
ACCESS DISK.
The cut scene shows the portable toilets
at the top of the pit. This should give you a clue as to where to go
next. If you aren't interested in the last secret, just continue along
this hallway to end the level.
If you want the secret, plus a few other
pick-ups along the way, turn around and take a running jump across the
pit to grab the ladder on the blue support pillar. Climb to the top.
(NOTE: It's possible to climb
down and carefully retrieve the harpoons in the pit by jumping over the
toxic areas. But you'll be able to get these much more easily later.)
BACK TO THE TOP OF THE PIT:
Take a standing jump from the ledge at the top of the ladder to the
tunnel on the left. Go through the tunnel to the bottom of the pit with
ladder and climb to the stairs above. Exit through the opening at the
top of the stairs onto the cement ledge. Climb the blue ladder at the
left end of the ledge (i.e., left when facing the ladder). Near the top,
climb to the right then to the top.
If you haven't already picked up the rocket
in the small alcove to the left, do that now. Then go cautiously to the
right end of the walkway. If the orange-suited
worker here is still alive, he'll try to ignite
the barrel below the ledge. Either shoot him before he can do
this, or kill him then jump carefully over the burning barrel at the
right side. Go to the far right corner of this area and jump to the
ledge next to the wrecked train engine. Climb up and go around (or over)
the engine to the portable toilets.
Go into the portable toilet on the left.
(If you didn't open the door earlier, do this now using the switch
on the machine next to the train engine.) Use the PUMP ACCESS DISK in
the computer next to the toilet to turn on the pumps and fill the pit
with water. FLUSH!!
(NOTE: If you didn't explore
here earlier, approach the other two toilets, which open automatically.
Kill a worker and get 2
boxes of shotgun shells.)
POOL AND SECRET CAVERN: Walk out
to the rim of the pit and jump into the water below. A swan dive is fun
here: Hold Walk and press Forward + Jump. Lara can do two somersaults if
you press the Roll key on the way down. Pick up 3
bunches of harpoons from the bottom of the pool. Get air if you
need to, then swim through the underwater cave, picking up more
harpoons on the way. (NOTE: If you don't yet have the HARPOON
GUN, you'll get it here instead of the fourth bundle of
harpoons.)
Surface and climb out onto a narrow
walkway. This is secret #3 Walk
carefully up the path. Take care not to fall into the lava
pits. At the end take a diagonal standing jump to the left to the
next ledge. Jump up the slope. Now, either take a carefully aimed
standing jump down to the small, triangular ledge on the left at the
base of the ramp, or slide down the ramp and jump forward to grab the
corner ledge. Or, slide backwards down the ramp and grab the end. Then,
while continuing to hold the Action key, pull up and press Jump + Roll
to make Lara jump off the ramp, turn in the air and grab the ledge
behind her, and pull up. Use whichever method you prefer.
Kill the pteranodon
that flies in from the left. (So they're extinct. . . maybe
even the scientific find of the millennium. A girl's got to defend
herself.)
Take a standing jump to the next ledge
(or if you jumped to the triangular ledge at the base of the ramp, just
run onto the next ledge at the inside corner). From there take a running
jump to the wide ledge beyond that. Take a running jump to the corner
ledge and turn around to shoot another pteranodon.
(Stand Lara near the wall so it doesn't knock her off the edge.) Turn
back to face the wall and position Lara against it. Jump up and grab the
edge of the slope. Traverse to the left above the lava
pit not quite to the other end of the wall. When Lara is two
squares away from the opposite ledge (just past a small, triangular
texture with veins of red in it) pull up and immediately press Jump to
back flip onto a ledge behind her.
Pick up a large
med-pack, turn around and follow the short path toward the center
of the cave, where there's another lava pit. Turn right and note another
large med-pack on the next ledge. Wait for a pteranodon
to fly up from behind the med-pack. Kill it. Then jump over to the
med-pack. Turn around and shoot another pternodon
that flies in from behind. Then take the med-pack. (I found it best to
kill these guys one at a time. Otherwise they mob Lara and knock her off
the ledge. If you fall in the water, reload or make the circuit around
the lava chasm again.)
Jump into the water and swim back to the
pool at the bottom of the pit. Go through the passageway above on the
left, which is now underwater, to finish the level.
*FYI: Shakespeare
Cliff, Dover, is near where the channel tunnel comes out on the English
side (the town is called Folkstone). It's also where the builders dumped
the rocks and soil from the excavation.
**NOTE: Before getting the
grenade launcher, each time you pick up a pair of grenades it only
counts as a single item in your inventory. Once you get the launcher,
each pick-up counts as a two grenades, including the ones you've already
collected.
