LEVEL 18: HALL OF DEMETRIUS
Secrets: 1
(NOTE: Technically, this
secret is found in the COASTAL RUINS level, but since it is
only accessible through this level, it is included here.)
Follow the hall to a LARGE ROOM WITH BALCONIES AND
PAINTINGS. Go up the ramp on the right (south) side of
the room and up the ramp. Take the PHAROS
KNOT from the pedestal. Return down the ramp to the
main room. Cross to the opposite (north) side and go up that
ramp.
Cut scene: Lara looks
around, perhaps sensing that she's not alone. Then she
begins to read one of the scrolls she finds. She is
interrupted by Von Croy and some of his men. (A transcript
of the dialogue appears below.) As the assassins follow
Lara, Von Croy escapes through a secret panel in the wall.
Kill the 3 assassins. They
come down the hallway directly in front of Lara's starting
position at the end of the cut scene, so you can use a
single grenade to take them out quite easily. Go back up
this ramp to the room in the cut scene. Drag the lantern
along the scrape marks on the floor to open the
concealed door where Von Croy
exited.
(NOTE: Before exiting, make
sure you have the PHAROS PILLAR and PHAROS KNOT artifacts.
The former is found in the previous level, THE LOST LIBRARY.
The latter is found in this level.)
Go through the secret door and slide down the ramp to
splash down in a small pool back at the COASTAL RUINS
level. The chime sounds for secret #1
(53/70). Climb out of the water and pick up a
large medipak and
poisoned arrows in two corners of
the room. If you like, you can pick up Von Croy's
BROKEN GLASSES on the platform as
well, but these serve no useful purpose. Inside the opening
above the platform is a ladder. Jump up to grab it and climb
to the top. Follow the hall to emerge at one of the
buildings near the tide pool (marked "E" in the second
diagram on the COASTAL RUINS page).
TO PHAROS, TEMPLE OF ISIS: If you have the PHAROS
PILLAR and PHAROS KNOT (which you should if you've followed
this walkthrough), head for the next level. Go down the
beach, wade into the water past the L-shaped stone wall, and
dive down. Swim through the underwater passage to the right
(south) to enter PHAROS, TEMPLE OF ISIS. (This passage is
marked "F" in the second diagram on the COASTAL RUINS page.)
Dialogue from cut scene in the
middle of this level:
Lara (reading): The tablet was
returned to the sands that spawned it, beneath the citadel.
. .
Semerkhet (voice over): . . . of
Saladin in ancient Cairo, foretelling the time in the
distant millennia when the stars of Orion come together. The
ceremony is performed and Set entombed.
Lara looks up as Von Croy and three
of his assassins enter.
Von Croy: Hello, my dear. Another
unannounced visit. I see you have found the scroll we
unearthed. Interesting reading, ja?
Lara: Only interesting if you know
what it refers to.
Von Croy: Yes, yes. Quite correct,
my dear. The armor on its own is no more than a curiosity.
But with the amulet and the ceremonial tablet, it becomes an
important historical artifact predating the Bible by
centuries.
Lara: There si more at stake here
than the sum of the pieces, Von Croy. Ever heard of
Armageddon? Unpleasant, even by your standards.
Von Croy: Rebinding the spirit of
Set, putting the armor on the statue at midnight at the turn
of the millennium, so on and such like. I was never a
believer in this magical hocus pocus.
Lara makes a break, jumping off the
balcony.
Von Croy: Fools! After her!
