The Gym.
At the start you’ll get an indication of the notebook.
Open the PDA-Notes from
your inventory and use the right arrow to get to the next
pages where you can read all about the new moves. You'll
also get crucial information in the PDA as the game

will get you back into the game
Go to the S wall, between those big grey pillars and get
into the crawlspace, go left (E) and climb up E. Grab the PLS and
drop down to the ground floor. If you scroll through the
notebook a bit more, you’ll find the PLS function in there
too (replacement for Flares).
Go W and push the small bench (W) to the W wall and to
the right against the pillar. Face the pillar and jump up to
grab the crack. Use the new move (Alt) to jump up to the
steel rim above. Shimmy left around onto the left side of
the crack, then jump up again and shimmy right to pull up
onto the platform. Turn and look for an alcove SW (corner of
the Gym).
Jump to the alcove in the
corner and use switch

Go back to the small bench W and get back up to the crack
in the pillar, jump up to the rim and shimmy around to the
right, turn around to jump and grab (tap “down” arrow and
just hold Ctrl) the pillar behind you. Face E step up to the
pole and use Ctrl to start climbing the pole, when you are
at the height of the swing pole jump to it (hold Ctrl and
tap ALT).
Do NOT swing on the swing pole, but only hit Alt, so Lara
climbs the pole and jumps. Make a left curve so you’ll slide
down backwards and grab the edge of the pillar. Drop down to
the crack and shimmy right to the steel rim, jump up into a
crawlspace and get some Desert
Ranger ammo W.
Get out at the same place and shimmy to the right, to the
middle of the last wall part. Hit “down” and jump to grab
the swing pole (behind you). Swing and jump to the platform.
Jump E and grab the windowsill, use switch

and S are safe today.
Dive into the pool, the
underwater lever W opens the door to the pool in the gym, in
case you want to practice some more. Get air and then dive
through the opening in the bottom and use the N and S levers
to expand two platforms in the poolroom. Swim down one more

screen of Zip (”Zip
might know where the key to the crypt is”)
Go S and look at the keypad, there’s another post-it.
Choose the PDA-Notes from the inventory and read:
4th rock
from the sun. Planet Mars is the 4th, so the code
is: 5 1 6 7 (select the numbers with the arrow keys, punch
them in with Ctrl and then punch in * to enter the code, #
is to delete a digit).
Secret #2 sounds
as a reward for breaking the code.
Go in and push the button E to see the floor in the
living room open up. Leave through the door W, down the
stairs, right into the music room and right to get into a

opening in the floor there.
Slide down and grab into the
opening, then take a running jump and grab the monkey climb
to get to the other side. Jump over the next lasers and
disable them with the code lock (have a look in the notebook
for the note from Winston: PS.
The red code is the day and month of your birthday in case
you need it (if you Google it, you’ll find February the 14th).
So the code is: 1402).
Leave, jump down and go to the
passage with the monkey climb and then left. Swim down, go W
and avoid the spikes and then swim all the way up. Get Secret
#3, the Gold
Croft Shield. Back to the water and halfway down behind

into a well concealed opening on the right (NW). Follow
through and grab the Emerald
Key. Don’t go back the same way!!! (You could try after
you saved…, nice)
Instead go to the wall S and find a crack; jump higher
and you are safe. Get down SW and then go S. Into another
tunnel SW and you’ll slide down to the Spider Cave
staircase. Go up the stairs, over the path and to the left
(S) up some stairs to a double door. In the cavern on the
left side of the staircase is some Revolver
ammo.
Up the Rock Faces.
Use the Emerald Key and draw out some bats, go left (E)
and around the corner watch out for the spikes. Follow
through and come to the bridge, walk onto the ledge on the
right of it.
Jump to the ledge NE and then
to the sloped ledge NE, grab the edge and shimmy left to
where you can pull up again. Walk to the far N end and jump
with a right hand curve around the rocks to another flat
ledge. From there a run jump over the slanted rock to the
ledge with Secret
#1(10), the Fourth
Templar Cross. Drop down and go back S to that big
pillar.
Make your way back up to the bridge (up the stairs) and
cross it to the other side. Find a crack a bit left of the
bridge (W wall) and jump higher. Jump (NW) to a corner
ledge, one more jump N and jump up onto that rock bridge.
Jump to the left (NW) to that ridge and jump straight ahead
and then a jump to the right (NE). Climb up N and again
left, then go straight and avoid the boulder. Jump over it
and at the end jump down (keep to the right though) then
run-jump over the spikes by using the alcoves left or right.
The Left Cog.
Keep going, slide down, shoot several bats, you come to a
balcony in the big cave. Go to the other side, hop up into
the opening ahead and jump to the opening left. There is a
pole around the corner, climb it facing SE and jump over the
corner of the spikes (Alt). Climb the block in one of the
corners and then jump to the block at the S wall. Jump up N
and go to the balcony N. Go all the way to the N wall and
jump up in that crevice, crawl into a crawlspace there. Jump
NW and then to the small pedestal at the N wall and get the Left
Cog.
Jump back, first to the S wall and drop down into the
cave below, behind the dark pillar S is some Shotgun
ammo. Grab up to the crack in the N side of this pillar
and jump higher to the top of it. Hop up S and from there
into the opening E. Go back through the crawlspace and then
to the SE and all the way to the S end. Go in the door
opening and then to the left (E) to place the two Cogs on
the wall S. Watch the fly by and go out and use the bridge
to get to the other side.
Head all the way S to the end and jump up to the path
along the S wall, go E over the steep part and get the Large
Medipack in
the end (the guy there doesn’t need it anymore). Go back and
N passing the bridge, to the left is the entrance to the
building. In the far N, in a windowsill is some Desert
Ranger ammo.
Go back and into the building and now you can choose,
Heaven or Hell…. Good is
to the right (blue), Evil is
to the left (red). Makes no difference which side you do
first.
Good side:
Keep going straight (N), then at the end go up the
stairs, more stairs and at the end you’ll come to 2 shafts.
They are too high and nowhere to go but up. But under the
grated floors are big fans creating an updraft.
Go to the left hand grated floor (the right hand side
hasn’t got enough power) and walk against the wall (W), jump
up and grab the edge, shimmy to the right and pull up, back
flip and jump again to get hold of that monkey climb above
(or just back flip with roll holding down Ctrl to grab the
monkey swing), go to the other side and drop on the right
hand side.
Good and
Evil?
Go up the stairs, then go left (S) and more stairs, shoot
some bats. You hear a sound. Look up and there are the
swinging axes. For now take a running jump over the blowers
and another one after that.
Ice Water Hall, the Angel
Halo.
Look left when at the big hall and find the crack there,
hop to it and shimmy right and drop on a big block. Stand
with you back against the wall while you shoot two harpies.
Jump the ledges to building in the NE. Mind you, the Icy
water is quite deadly.
For an extra pick up, jump into the cavern NE and shoot
the harpy there. Make your way towards the ledge NE and pick
up some Desert
Ranger ammo and
jump back to the door outside. In the room N is a blue
crystal pushable column that has to go to the bright light
in the middle of the raised dais, but the way is still
blocked. You can push it out of the room and leave it in
front of the bridge.
Remove the Three Barriers.
This part can be done in no
particular order.
Barrier #1:
Jump to the ledge around the corner SE, then to the next
and then to alcove in the E wall to use the lever to get
some spear poles out of the wall above. Go back to the N
wall, jump to the next ledge and pull out a cage from the NE
corner, climb the cage and face S.
Use the poles to get to the
other side. (keep CTRL + forward pushed and immediately use
the ALT when you grab the next pole to jump to the next
without swinging).
Find a crack in the S wall and shimmy right and climb
onto the pillar. Jump up to the NW ledge and climb up left.
Once on the balcony jump over the balustrade to the NE and
at the skeleton grab some Shotgun
ammo (duck).
Jump back to the balcony and now climb up into the opening
SE. Keep climbing higher then jump through a triangle
opening SW. Shoot some pesky bats.
Now pass the swinging axes (slowly walk around) and climb
up right at the spike traps. Jump through the spikes and
push the button, Barrier
#1 goes down.
Turn around and jump back, go up the rubble against the N
wall and turn right. Jump up into the opening to slide down
a ramp, walk out and come to the lake.
Barrier #2:
Slide down backwards and safety drop down, start jumping
to the building NW, there is a ladder on the wall there. Get
on the ladder and shift to the right and climb up. Jump to
the ledge NW, go in and jump up the sandy slope. Climb up N
and end up on a balcony. Around the corner is another button
and Barrier #2 goes
down. Walk back SE, shoot a harpy and jump into the opening
over the slanted rock SE. Slide down again and again a
safety drop to the ledge below.
Barrier #3:
Jump back to that blue Crystal column you pushed. Go in
the room N and go left and jump to the ladders on the S
wall, shift to the right hand one. Climb up a bit and back
flip/roll to another ladder. Climb this one almost to the
top and again back flip/roll, grab another ladder, let go
and grab the edge shimmy all the way left and back jump
(down arrow), veer to the right to land on a ledge. Grab the small
medipack and Desert
Ranger there
and jump back to the sloped ledge. Shimmy till you are over
the third ladder and back jump (down arrow), grab the ladder
again and go to almost to the top to back flip/roll for a
jump to another ladder. Now climb to the right and drop down
to safety.
Jump into opening on the left NW. Jump over spikes and go
at the end to the right (S). On the balcony go right (W) and
find a button right around the corner, Barrier
#3 is
history. Shoot a Harpy and you can jump from the other end
of the balcony down or take the passage back, turn right and
safety drop there. Go push the column into the bright light
and hop back till the Wraith kills itself in the light. Get
the Sapphire
Key and walk
off the bridge.
Use the Key on the door E. Inside grab the Angel
Halo and
continue E. Jump to the ladder and climb up for some Shotgun
ammo, then turn round and jump to the opposite side,
turn again and jump to the other ledge (S). Some jumping
over deadly water and a slide down and follow through, down
the stairs left (E)
The Lost
Realm
Go left (N) and slide down, softly landing on the floor.
Go E, down the stairs and all the way S to go to Hell. Go in
W, down the stairs and slide down a slope left (S).
Good and
Evil?
Follow through to a pit full of lava. Jump to the other
side and end up at a lava lake. Shoot the harpy.
Lava Lake, the Ruby Key.
Take a running jump to the moving platform S when it is
going up, then one more S to the tunnel entrance. If you
want an extra pick up, drop from this tunnel down on the
rocks then jump to the crack N and shimmy all the way right,
pull up at the end, jump over a lava pit and get the Large
Medipack and Desert
Ranger ammo.
Go back and at the end of the shimmy jump to the opposite
side (tap the down key). Jump back onto the moving platform
and jump into the tunnel (S) and now follow through, up a
slope and at the end to the moving platform W. Next is the
N, the one on the right then another to the W, NW and onto
the floor NW.
Then to the lava cave in the W. There is a small
medipack near
the skeleton on the left and entice a Harpy to come out of
the cave W. Jump top of the rocky slope, a timed sequence is
next.
Hot Run for the Key.
So save and stand jump up the
rocks W, stand to the left and do running jumps over the
blocks, around the corner in one go, as Lara will catch fire
if you are too slow. Grab the Ruby
Key and get
the hell out of there.
The Devil Horns
Jump to the door NE and one ledge further and around the
corner you can use the key. A Harpy wakes up, better take
care of him here. Jump over the ledge and go in the open
door now, take a running jump the pole on the right, jump to
the next (tap Alt) one and next and then to safety.
Next cave go up the stairs right and follow through up a
staircase, at the pit jump over. Get the Devil
Horns from
the pedestal. Leave E and left up the stairs and jump to the
ladder, climb around the corner and off on the ledge. Go to
the end climb up the column and turn around, there is an
opening NW. You have to go the long way around so take a
running jump and grab the ledges S. Turn and jump up the
ledge W. Jump a bit further and slide backwards down, shimmy
to the end, back jump and grab the other side, shimmy left
around a corner and you can stand. Jump up N, walk to the
end and a running jump to the small ledge in the corner E
and from there up in the opening SE.
Follow through, slide down and the level changes.
The Lost
Realm.
Good vs. Evil.
Go straight and then to the left, up the stairs, keep
going left and down some stairs to the hall. Place the Devil
Horns on the left and the Angel Halo on the right. Watch the
fly by, Lava and Icy water get mixed and it is still
undecided which way you have to go, Heaven or Hell. So for
now just go W and enter the open doors.
X Marks the
Spot.
Go through the purple-blue spiral and Lara sees something
in the air.
“Lara: Ah.. That looks interesting!”
Read the PDA notes and be aware DO NOT use any gun in
this place as long as there is a faint purple haze
surrounding Lara.
The Bone Dust.
There are three ways to go but you have to visit them all
anyway.
The Humerus
Go N and take a right, jump
into the water and go high over or time those spikes. Swim
up and climb out, pick up the Humerus and
go back in the water and over the spikes.
The Pelvis
Go out of the water and straight into the next passage,
down to a room with more spikes. Jump to the pedestal and
use CTRL. Lara twist and turns and a skeleton appears,
grabbing that Map from the air.
“Lara: Oh, now look at that skeleton taking my prize!
That won’t do at all!”
Go W and climb the pole, jump into the alcove and take a
running jump to the central platform. Jump N, go right up
some stairs avoiding the rolling spikes (best go left or
right of them and then up the steps). Avoid the next one
from the right side, follow through and jump over popping up
spikes to a lever. Use the lever to lift the glass housing
and jump back. Slide down W and jump to that middle
structure. Get the Pelvis from
the pedestal. Jump back to the pole and leave S, up the
stairs and straight into a room with a big bowl.
The Mandible
Go right (W) and follow
through, crawl under the spikes. Climb the ladder and hoist
up. Jump even higher and turn and climb (tap Alt) the swing
pole, jump and land on a slope, slide almost to the end then
jump and curve left so you can grab the climb pole N. Climb
up, jump to the next and then turn to the ledge NW. Aim for
the corner (Lara’s head just should be sticking out a bit
over the flat surface) and then jump there. Get the Mandible from
the pedestal.
Jump W and then go to the ladder and use the slope before
jumping to the ladder. Crawl under the spikes and stand up
while the lower trap activates, jump over and go to that
bowl in the room. Face it E and combine the three bone
fragments to a Bone Collection. Put that in the big bowl and
use the lever S. A big grinder will grind the bones and 3
samples of Bone
Dust will
fall on the floor.
Use the Bone Dust.
Go pick it up and go out N, down the stairs and left to
an elevator in the end. Wait for it and step in, turn around
and get out on the top floor. Go left (E) and right into the
next room, around the central structure are 3 bowls; put the
3 Bone Dust samples in the bowls and the gate E opens up. Go
in, push the button in the right hand alcove and watch the
flyby. Go back to the elevator W and ride it down to the
ground floor (step inside and not on top). Go back to the
hall E and wait in front of the higher floor till the
skeleton comes close. Run onto the floor and lure the
skeleton onto the pentagram. As soon as he touches Lara a
cutscene will take over.
“Lara: Time to take that thing off your chest”
This is it!
And X Marks the spot!
This Map shows me what to do next.
Now the time has come to go back to the house.”
Go S and down the stairs, take a left (watch out for a
boulder) and follow through, in the next room you can place
the Crosses on the wall but it seems you’re one short.
The Last Gothic Cross.
Go through the door S and just through that blue spiral,
the purple haze around Lara will disappear (now you can use
weapons again). Turn back and go back down to the room with
the pentagram. Down the stairs W to the elevator, go to the
upper floor and turn around, hop onto the top of the
elevator as it goes down.
Turn around again facing S and
stand against the wall. When the elevator reaches the
highest point, jump and grab up to the passage above. Follow
through, up the stairs and right to come to a fence, shoot
that. Get Secret
#2(11), the Fifth
Templar Cross and
turn around, down the steps and run straight into the empty
elevator shaft W with water at the bottom. Grab the small
medipack from
the bottom and swim through SE, follow through and crawl
through the gap, stay low because you are now under the
working elevator. Turn around and climb up to the ground
floor as the elevator goes up.
Go E to the pentagram and then
down the steps S and take a left back up to the room with
the Crosses to place the last Cross.
The gate E opens up, go in and
get Secret
#3(12), a Jewelled
Gothic Cross.
Go out and into the door S through the blue light up the
stairs and around the corner jump on the dirt mound and into
the opening left. Jump in the water and swim through
watching the falling debris (keep swimming close to the left
walls). Once up on land go E and jump to the crack there, go
one higher and back jump to the other side and one up again.
Jump up NE and then E. Go left shoot a bat and back flip to
a column in the SW corner. From there jump E (no Ctrl) and
up left, crawl through, shoot two rats some bats and
continue E, jump into an opening there. You’ll land on top
of the shack.
Dig Site
Drop down from the roof and go N, left up the slope and
follow through to the ladder…
Lara: Hello boys.
Zip: Look
who is back, late as usual.
Lara: Fashionably
late I’d say.
And where’s the fun in a short raid anyway.
Alister: So,
what’s down there, did you find anything?
Lara: Believe
me, you don’t want to know the details.
But yes, I did indeed find something. An old map to be exact
and X seems to mark the spot.
It says here that King Arthur was buried somewhere in caves
along the coast. Here.
However, I still believe he is buried on Avalon. But this
so-called tomb could provide me with some clues on the
whereabouts of Avalon.
Set up a dig site at this spot, on or near the beach. And
start looking for potholes or fissures in the rock. Anything
that could possibly be used to gain access to the
underground lake and those larger caves that are supposedly
hidden there. I'll meet you there in a couple of days.
Zip: Gotcha,
I’m on it
Alister: Consider
it done.
Are you coming to diner? Winston is cooking...
Lara: Splendid.
Let me know when it's ready, I'm off for a shower
Alister: OK.
In the shower
Lara:
Don't you think you've seen enough?
For now anyway. See you again in the next part of Mists of
Avalon.
Watch the credits…
To be continued….
