CS=crawlspace, MS= monkeyswing, MP= med-pack, Jmp= jump.

PART 1

After a nice flyby, where you’ll see the boss's car in front of the cinema, you’ll find yourself in the Wardrobe.
Take the Crowbar from the counter in front and notice the keyhole and a curtain behind you, go out R to the 1st Hall, where you’ll find the first entrances to the Cinemas. Go to the Blue display in the center of W wall and pull it out, go into the passage behind it, which leads up to the 2nd Hall. Just past the lamp is a hole in the ceiling, up to a Store room, get up there and go to the NE corner and hop on some crates there, stand on the gray part, SE corner and look SE, do a standjmp/grab forward to hold on to the ceiling, MS L and along the wall to just past the white pipe R. Here you can go R to the higher part of the ceiling, go R again and past the Steam blowers to the N wall.

There’s a Door Key on the pillar, get it and go back to the 1st Hall. Go L when you enter and use the Key in the corner, a gate behind the curtain R of you opens and 2 Dogs come out, enter the room behind the curtain and get the Flares and another Door Key; the Compass is just for show. The Key fits the lock in the other end of the Hall, it opens the gate behind the curtain L of you, kill the Dog and enter. Get the ½ MP and go into the CS behind the statue to get the Door Key. This one goes in the lock at the Wardrobe where you started the level.

Get the Door Key from behind the curtain and a gate opens, go out, shoot a Dog and go to the centre curtain in the 1st Hall, inside you can use the Key and a gate in the Store room opens, get the ½ MP and go back into the passage to the 2nd Hall, up to the Store room, R and hop on the crates L of you. Go to the far SE corner and face SW, standjmp/grab straight up and grab the ceiling, go to the S wall and hang on the L side of the CS with the Steam blower, drop/grab and go in for a Secret, a mere ½ MP. (Thank you, Michael). Drop out and go L, where that open gate awaits you. Pull the shelf from the Door Key and go back to the passage to the 2nd Hall where a door opened in the W wall, the centre one. Go in and use the Key to open the Cinemas.

Well, that was the 1st part of this level. It’s up to you which cinema you want to enter first. There are 6. I started at number one, but if you want to change order, that’s no problem, you’ll arrive back in the Theatre after each Cinema.

Part 2

Block Puzzle.

Enter a basement with push blocks, go L and pull the block in the end of this passage out once, go to the SE corner of the basement and push the block there in as far as possible, turn L and pull that block once, turn R and pull that out again to where you found it and go L/R into the passage, pull the block in the passage there out all the way and go to the W side, (opposite the entrance) push the block there in once and go L, pull the block in the NW corner out to the end of the L wall, where you can pick up the Movie Star. L of the Star is a small triangular CS, turn around and go to the block in the end of this passage, push it in and enter the triangular hole L to place the Star (which will open the door on top of the stairs). Go back to where you found the Star and follow the CS, go into the NW passage and get the Secret ½ MP just in front of the L block, push the block past the R hand stairs and go up to the room with the Compass, shoot the Dogs and go into 1st Hall, pick out another movie and enter.

Part 3

The Timed Jumps.

Well, here’s another nice one. A timed jmp sequence with a MS. Get the Walk of Fame Star off the wall and save in front of the switch, the switch is for the Timed door on the other side of the basement. What I did was pull the switch, hop back with a R turn, so you face the room, backup to the wall and do a runjmp with a R curve to land on a sloped (to the R) block, slide and at the last moment a jmp/grab with a R curve to the ladder on the sloped pillar, go R, just around the corner and up, over the edge and slide/jmp/roll/jmp/grab the MS, go R and drop onto a pillar (in the centre and facing R a bit), jmp onto a lower sloped block, from this one a jmp/grab to the 3rd bar of the ladder, just let Lara hang (she’s faster while hanging), go around R corner and 3 steps, then get her feet on the pillar, go R to the end, backflip and jmp sharp R from the sloped block you land on, grab the floor just next of the ladder you backflipped from and go R 4 steps, pull up/backflip/roll with a R curve to land on a sloped block, slide and jmp to the one a bit L, this one you really have to slide to the end before you jmp with a bit of a L curve to land on the R side of the UW ledge under the Timed door, run up to the wall, R side of the receptacle (ignore that for now), jmp/grab up and get in fast, run up the stairs a bit, roll and jmp/grab the ladder, go up to the top, wait a split second before you release “Ctrl” and hit it again together with the “Up” key and quickly get into the CS to get the Secret Flares before the gate closes. Drop back out and place the Star under the Timed door. Go up again and shoot a Dog, get Movie Star 2 and go into the 1st Hall to go to the 3rd Cinema. (For me, this was the hardest part of the whole TR-Gold game.)

Part 4

The Door Labyrinth.

Get the Star and the door opens, next is a Door puzzle.

Quite a confusing part here, use the Map below to find the places I describe to you. Go through doors 1/2/3 and step on trigger 4, go into the passage with trigger 5 and enter the passage at door 5, go on to trigger 9 and return to the #9 door, go in there to trigger door 10 (same door as #2), there is trigger 11 inside, from this square, go straight into the passage ahead and a bit L, turn around when the R hand door opens and go to door 1, which should grant access to trigger 13 now. Turn around and go back, L/L/R and follow this passage to where you’ll find the star receptacle, door #14 opens and there’s Movie Star 3, a door opens back in the Door labyrinth, go a bit further into this passage and hear a door close by open, that’s door 15 in the other end of the labyrinth. If you want you can go back and find the Secret Flares, return to the passage here and down the passage to the Movie Theatre. Pull out the Blue display again and head up to the 2nd Hall for Cinema 4.

(The light blue squares are the triggers to open the door with the same number, the exit is at number 14 and the Secret will be in #15 after you triggered that door to open, you have to go back there before you leave.)

Part 5

The Jump pit.

Get the Walk of Fame Star and go to a passage leading to a pit with sloped ledges, hop backwards off the 1st and grab, go L and drop, keep jmping L to the Secret ½ MP. Turn and see a small ledge under the one on eye level, slide and jmp/grab this ledge, go L and to the center of the L square, drop and slide, the camera changes to behind a glass wall, jmp/grab the lowest ledge in front. Pull up and keep jmping, at the 6th jmp, grab the flat ledge. Turn around and jmp to the ladder, go up to the exit. Go straight past all the entrances which are closed by the way and into an opposite passage, to the L of this room is a receptacle for the star, enter the door and get Movie Star 4, you’ll hear the gate to Cinema 5 opening up…
Time for another movie…

Part 6

Labyrinth swim.

Not too hard, do the Star bit, dive into the water, swim L and up into a hole, go into the small alcove with the metal structure to switch off the strong current in the upper part of the Labyrinth and roll, swim the other tunnel and the camera view changes, you go in a kind of remote control, follow the tunnel behind the glass. Lara will come out to the Theatre, get Movie Star 5 and go into Cinema 6. (There’s no Secret here.)

Part 7: The Grand Finale

The Vase Puzzle.

Pry the star off the wall and enter the Vase Puzzle room, notice the vases are blocked by ledges and obviously have to go onto the marked Tiles. There’s a slope down the room, from which you can jmp to ledges spanning the room. Slide and jmp to the lower ledge, put the vase on the Tile and one of the exit gates opens, jmp to the switch on S wall and use it to lower the ledge at the centre vase and runjmp from the switch-ledge to the one where you pushed the Vase, runjmp/grab to a ledge sticking out of the Slope and limb up to the top, first pull the N vase as far as possible to the now raised Tile, the move the centre Vase to the Tile, use the switch again and go to the N Vase, put it on the Tile and the exit opens. Now, you probably already noticed the Secret in the alcove of the Slope. Go stand with your back to the lower Vase and take one sidestep R from the L edge of the ledge, look L and see the sloped block, turn a bit so you’ll land on that block when you sidejmp L, immediately jmp with a L curve and grab that alcove, get the Secret ½ MP. (You can also do a long runjmp from the vase curved R and grab in the last moment, according to the author, the easy way.) Leave the room in the S. Go to the R in the 2nd Hall of the Theatre and through the curtain to the Exit Hall.

The Exit Hall/Star Puzzle.

Here is a nasty puzzle, see the Cinema numbers on the walls L and R, take a look at the Stars in your inventory and take notes of the codes written on the back. They will give you the clue to this puzzle.

The closed gates also count as floor tiles, they will open when you completed part of the puzzle, draw a grid of the floor and put in the numbers according to the Stars, the Skulls mean Death and the last 4 numbers (9-12) will be the ones on the higher floor parts behind the gates. You can grab the ceiling over the death floor with a jmp/grab and drop onto all the numbered Tiles from 1-12 and the Exit gate will open. Go through the CS and a beautiful flyby will take over, Lara gets on a horse and rides into the sunset…

The End.
