To start the level, pull your boat up to the dock and get out. Kill the rats that are waiting for you. Turn left and kill more rats. When you enter the hallway, a guy will come and try to kill you. Show him who's boss and climb up to the higher level of the hallway. Kill yet more rats, and pull the switch. The big doors out front will open and a guy will come for you. You can wait for him to come to you, or you can go to him. Anyways, kill him and enter the building.

When you enter, the guy in the balcony will try to shoot you. At the same time, another guy with a gun will come after you. Kill them both. On your left, there should be some windows. Shoot them out and be careful of the 2 dogs that come after you. Go in the room. (It should have a glass roof) Turn right and run to the wall. There should be some flares, automatic clips, and a small health pack. Run back into the main room. You should see some knight-like dudes standing there with knives in their hands. Once you get close enough, they will start move the knives up and down. Avoiding the knives, make your way to the back of the hallway and pull the switch. Run back to the balcony where you killed the guy. See the ladder on the wall? Position yourself so that Lara can jump up onto the ladder. Climb up and stop by the guy you killed to pick up some clips. Climb back on the ladder. Climb to the top of it, the climb to the right. Jump of the ladder onto the balcony. To your right, a guy on another balcony will try to shoot you. Kill him. (Have you ever counted how many times I have used the word kill?)

You might want to save here, in case you fall. Jump to the red sunshade. When you slide off, grab the edge of it. Shimmy to the left. Pull up and do a backflip onto the platform behind you. Jump to the wood platform, and then jump to another red sunshade. It may take you a couple of times to jump into the doorway below you, so you should save. Size up your jump, and leap into the doorway below you.

2 dogs will come right after you land in the doorway. Send 'em to the doggy pound in the sky and continue up the stairs. (Like that line? I read it in another walkthrough. I started to crack up as soon as I read it, even though it isn't that funny) Once you get to the room at the top of the stairs, a guy will try to kill you. Kill him and blast your way through the window. If you want, you can jump through some windows! But you will lose a some life, though. ANOTHER guy with a gun will come after you. Kill him and go to the end of the balcony. Shatter that window and go into the room. 2 macho-lookin' dudes and a dog will come after you. Kill them the best you can. HINT: move around while you are killing them. DO NOT stand still or they will kill you before you kill them.

Walk into the fireplace and push the back of the fireplace. The block will move. Once you have pushed it back enough, you will be standing in a small room. Turn left and jump up onto the higher level. Kill the rats. Walk close to the blades, turn toward the water, and jump into it. Climb out of the water. Estinguish the flames by stepping on the wooden platform. This is one of the many timed obstacles in this game. Get used to 'em!! Jump from platform to platform as fast as you can, otherwise you'll burn up. Go through the door (it'll open automatically) and a hitman (I'm tired of 'guy' and 'dude') and 2 dogs will try to butcher (i'm tired of 'kill' 'butcher' sounds better anyways)you. Don't let that crap happen.

WARNING: DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT swing or jump on chandeliers. Your mother would have a heart attack. If you want to see what would happen If you did, climb to the highest chandelier and watch Lara fall and hear the snap of her neck. Now it doesn't sound like such a good idea, does it?

Anyways, climb on the slanted block and onto the 1st chandeleir. From the chandeleir, jump up to the platform at the 2nd story window to your left. Pull the switch there to open a trap door in the fireplace of one of the previous rooms. Shoot out the window next to the switch and go out on the ledge. Fall down the hole to the right through the recently opened trap door. You should find yourself in a water-filled room with a door that requires a key. You will find the key later. Swim to the switch on the left wall and pull it. This will open a door to the right. Swim into the next area through the open door and go through the hole in the lower right corner. Find your way to the back of this area. Another switch opens a trap door above you, allowing you to get some air. Find your way out of this area. Use the ladder to climb up the side of the building and into the chandeleir room.

Climb on the 1st chandeleir and then jump to the 2nd chandeleir. Turn right and jump on the ledge with a switch on it. Pull it, and it will open the picture frame on the wall revealing the Library Key. Jump back to the 2nd chandeleir, and then jump to the 3rd chandeleir. Climb up to the wooden ledge. Turn rightand run around the corner. See the main support beam for the ceiling? Walk to the edge. Jump up and grab the beam. Shimmy to the right and pull up. Jump on the wood platform in front of you. Climb up on the brick blocks, and a guy with a crowbar will come get you. On top of the brick blocks, get a running start and jump to the other side of the support beam. There should be a switch there. Pull it and it will make the low chandeleir high, and the high chandeleir low. Anotherwords, low will be high and high will be low. Make your way to the lowest chandeleir (which used to be the highest) and jump left left to get the stupid little Library Key. Instead of carrying a million different guns, should Lara carry a ladder or something? It would make her job so much easier.

Anyways, make your way back to the highest chandeleir and jump to the 1st ledge with the window. Fall down into the trapdoor. Use the library key to open the door. 2 dudes will try to butcher you, but don't you let that happen.

Once you are in the library, run into the open room. Climb the bookshelves. Turn around and you should see a switch that opens the door into the next room. When you head down to the next room, a guy will try to kill you. After you kill him, go into the next room. Climb the bookshelves and gradually make your way to the top window. Shoot it out. Walk out the window. Slide down the red sunshade, and before she slides off jump onto the small balcony in front of you. After this jump across to another red sunshade and jump to the brick wall. Enter the wood building and kill the hitman & dog. Grab the Detonator (yes, detonator!) Key. Return the library. Pull the switch to open the last unopened door. I think 2 guys come after you. After you kill 'em go through the window to an outside patio, and continue through it's door. Make your way across the water and swim toward the brick wall. Climb up on it. Now, this next part is one of the best parts of the game. Use the Detonator Key on the Detonator, and blow up the buiding. After the buiding is wrecked, a guy on a balcony will shoot at you. Kill him and make your way through the rubble of the building. Keep going through the building (or whats left of it). Run down the ledge and turn left. Slide down the hole, and its onto...
