Level 8: The Wreck of the Maria Doria

Kill the first diver you see, and find the harpoons. Go underwater to the passage. Swim through it. After you get out, climb up the ledge grabbing the health pack. Make sure you have full health. Slide down the slope backwards, grabbing the edge. Now drop down. Make sure you have good health. Go into the next room and kill the 2 guards. Find a crate that you can push and push it. Pull yourself up and watch out for the guard. Run down the hallway and fall in the hole. Here you will find SECRET #1-The Stone Statue. Climb out of the hole, kill the guy, and go back the way you came.

On the other side of the room you will see a passage and some crates. Push all the crates into the passage, and enter the newly opened passage to your right. In the Ballroom some guys will all gang up on you. By the door where you came in there is a bunch of glass around an opening in the floor. Go to the side without any glass, back up, and run in the hole. You will land in front of the bathroom, or Rest Room, as they call it in the game. Pick up the key and climb out of the bathroom, then head back to the ballroom.

Now go to the bathroom and use the rest room key in the hole behind the chair. Push the switch and kill the guy that comes out. Run through the open doors. Push the switch to open the 2nd level of the Ballroom.

Go to the Ballroom. Look around until you find a small ramp, which leads to the 2nd floor. Walk to the edge of it and pull yourself up to the 2nd level, then go to your left. Fall backwards and hang onto the edge. Shimmy to the right until you get to the door. Climb up and kill the guard. Keep shimmying left and do a long jump to get the first Circuit Breaker. Go back to the open door. Look around, you will see a couple of doors. The closest door to the left leads to a room without anything in it. On your right, spin the door open, go into the room, (and with good health) fall through the floor.

See that box?? Push it or pull it until you can reach that switch. Run through the next room, up the hill, and kill the guard. Enter the next room and kill another guy. Again, find a box and push the box so you can pull the switch. Grab the Rusty Key that was under the box. Go in the now open passage and use the Rusty Key. Walk into the room and drop to the floor. Move the box. Then pull it out. Now, on your right you should see a passage. Keep running as the barrels roll at you and the floor collapses. Just run across the 1st breakway platform, then jump to the area beyond. Go left and kill the guard. Now return to where the barrels came at you and go left. Grab SECRET #2-The Jade Statue. Why do they call it a Jade Statue? Its green, not Jade. Anyways, watch out for that last barrel.

Go back and look for the room with the grate-like floor, then jump to the boat. Dive in the water, and pull the switch by the ladder. This will open a timed door. Now, as fast as you can, pull up onto the boat, jump to the other side and run through a door. To keep the door open, pull the switch that is in the room. Now run to the other side of the room and pull yourself up a floor. Now pull another switch to get back to the boat. Run back to the open area and get that guy that is waiting for you. Jump down and spin the wheel to open the door.

This hallway will eventually lead to the Rest Room. 2 doors will form a bridge so you can get the 3rd Circuit Breaker. How exciting. The button past the trapdoor will shut the doors. Now go into the Rest Room while the 2 guards in the room get theirs. Grab their harpoons; you'll need them soon.

Go all the way back to that pool room and grab the health kit in the corner. Dive in the water and pull the switch at the end of the passage. Swim through the opened door. When you pull yourself out of the water be ready to make 3 guards fall. Put all of the Circuit Breakers in their correct spot. Move the box so you can climb up in the opening. Kill yet another guard and pull the switch to flood the next room. Jump from overhead duct to overhead duct to get to the now flooded room. Now swim through the breakers. Get out your harpoons and swim through the passage ahead. Kill the barracuda before he eats you up. Watch out, on your left there will be a guard. Spin the wheel to open the door. When you are in, pull the switch. Run as fast as Lara's legs will carry you, seeing as that switch is timed. Push the box until you can pull the switch to open the trapdoor at the end of the hall.

This next part is a drag, but plug your nose and jump in anyways. Dodge all the underwater baddies and keep swimming until you can go right. Look through the windows and sigh because you are on the worst side of them. On your left, grab the Cabin Key. Swim back through the opening you came through, and go right until you see an opening. Surface and grab SECRET #3-The Gold Statue. Now go back in the nice cold water and go back up through the trapdoor.

Almost done. Go through the door and hang a left. Use the Cabin Key on the Cabin Door. Walk in and pull the switch. Push the box until you can pull one other switch. Now go to the pool room. Kill 2 guards and dive in the water. Move the barrel and swim out of level 8.
