You start your adventure in a cave after Lara gets off her helicopter. She will drop down a hole and slide to a level surface. Head for the water and kill the tiger. The dumb animal has a phobia for water, so stand in waist-deep water and kill him. Then start your climb by snaking around. Keep moving until you get to the opening at the top. If you fall while making your way to the top, another tiger will be waiting at the bottom. You can find the first secret (the Stone Statue) where there is a gap you have to jump across. Once you get in the room, look for a hole in the corner and fall through. Jump across the ledge at the top of the stairs and pull the switch to open the door.
Once you step outside, Ravens will attack-kill them. Get on the Great Wall and jump to the water below. For kicks, take a running leap to hear her scream. Swim to the end of the underwater cave and grab the guardhouse key. When you come back to the surface of the water, a tiger will be waiting. Find your way back up to the top of the Wall, and use the key. Kill the spiders and climb the ladder to get the rusty key to open the door to the next room. Move the rock blocking the doorway to the next.
Slide down a ramp into a room filled waist-deep with water. Blades will fly from one side of the room to the other. Don't go forward! Turn left and grab the edge. Shimmy right, heading for the door. Once you get in the doorway, I suggest you save.
Now would be the time to pick up speed. Run down the hall and keep running as the boards give way. Turn right and keep running unless you want to get crushed. I've heard that its possible to stand between the boulders as they roll past. Anyways, go through the opening and leap over the spikes and slide into the next fun-filled room. Once you get down there, 2 spiked walls will try to crush you. Is this game fun or what? Run forward and climb out of the room before the spikes close in on you. It is safe to rest and save your game for a second.
Start running and jump over the blades. In this next room, again the walls will close in on you. If your still alive you'll run into secret #2- the Jade Statue. Pick it up before you are killed. I say you leave it there. Keep running straight down the hall to avoid the spiked walls. Slide into yet another room with spikes. Fall through the corner to exit the room. Take a little break and save your game here. If you can make it through here in less than 4 tries, that is great. But this is only the beginning.
In the next room WALK up to the medi pack and grab it. Go the right side of the cavern and run by the big spinning blades.
If my calculations are correct, you should be on top of a huge cavern. A few spiders will attack when you walk near the zipline. When you take the zipline, at the bottom there will be 2 tigers. This will be the end of the level. But...if you are not a wuss and want to show your courage(if you have any left)you can make it to the bottom of the cavern. Find the place where you can jump down the cliff to a ledge. Turn around and grab the crack in the wall. Shimmy to the right and climb up. Run down a short hallway and pick up flares. Keep going 'till you come to a ladder. Climb down. Follow the path until you get to the bottom of the cavern. Be prepared for anything--say, a Tyrannosaurus Rex?!?!? Yes, its true. Send him to dino heaven and get secret #3-the Gold Statue. Turn around, and to your amazement, you'll find the dead dinos buddy looking for his supper. Waste him and go back to the top of the cavern the same way you got down. Use the zipcord, and then its on too....
