Caves

After the big door slams behind you, start running forward and watch the shooting darts. Follow the wolves footprints on the snow and run forward all the way to the end. SECRET AREA 1: There is a rock with a steep surface. You need to climb up and immediately jump forward and hold onto the ledge. Pick up the Small Medi Pack.

Jump down and head west. There is a door. Activate the lever. Turn left and climb up the opening . In the open area with two bridges kill the wolves from above and cross the first bridge. Turn around and cross the second one. Follow the passageway. In this room there is a bear underneath. You can kill him from above. Jump down. Turn around, kill the bats. Pick up Small Medi Pack and step on the pressure sensitive plate on the ground.

Now, jump across the opening over the bear room that you just killed. Turn left and pick up the Small Medi Pack. Turn back and climb down the stairs. Be careful! There are two wolves waiting to chew your legs. Kill them and head south.

Kill the wolf and pick up the Large Medi Pack. Activate the lever. It opens the main door at the bottom. Turn back and fall down from any ledges. You might want to jump down the opening near the exit to avoid shooting darts.

City of Vilcabamba

OK, after the main stone door opens run straight forward (which is your south bearing on the compass) and kill the wolves. Come back, head east and shoot the bats. At this point you must return to your original position and move west to reach the open area with the pool in the center. Face east and you will see two open doors. Move towards the doors (either of them)and be prepared to deal with a bear. After you kill it, enter the room and jump up the platform. There is a Small MediPack. Grab it. Head back to the pool area and dive into the water. Swim east until you see an open area with blue walls. Swim up and climb out of the pool. You will see a square room with four statues. Nothing in particular you can do in here yet. Dive back into the water and swim until you reach a structure with columns. Behind one of these columns there is a lever that when activated opens a door in the statues room. (there is a cinematic sequence to give you a hint that something is triggered, this is a very unique feature!). Watch your air supply since you drown really quick unless you know your bearings.

SECRET AREA 1:There is another lever that when activated opens a door on the top. Swim up and enter this room. Pick up Small Medi Pack and activate the lever. It leads back to the central area with the pool.

SECRET AREA 2:Dive into the water and swim back to the statues room that you just opened its door. Climb out and enter the room. Pick up Magnum Clips and Small Medi Pack.

Dive back in and swim to the central area. Climb up and head west. There is a door with a small lock next to it. You need a key to unlock it. Run around and look for a door with a lever. Pull the it. Enter the room and climb up the stairs. On the top there is an opening that faces another one.(use the SHIFT key to walk to the edge). Jump and grab onto the ledge. There are two collapsible platforms that you must step on to reach the other ledge. Jump on the second one and climb the platform. There is a Large Medi Pack. Grab it. Jump onto the ground.

If you look closely you see that there is a large block with its handles rotted out. Push it forward. You will find yourself in a new room. Go straight and turn right. There is a carved section in the wall with something golden on the ground. Pick it up. It is a Gold Idol. Turn back and go left. There is another carved section with the Silver Key in it. Climb up the stone block that you just pushed, jump onto the platform above and head to the window. There is a Large MediPack on the ground. Now jump down out of the window. Go to the locked door and use the Silver Key in the lock. Head towards the other section of the room trying to avoid the shooting darts.

Kill the wolves. Run straight forward to the structure. Enter the left door and climb up the stairs. Jump across the platforms. Kill the bats and activate the lever. It opens the right door in the main structure. Turn back and enter this newly opened room.

Jump and climb the platform avoiding the collapsible plates underneath. Kill the bat and activate the lever. It opens the middle door. Next to the Lever there is a balcony above the main entrance of the structure. Climb down and hang onto the ledge. Carefully shimmy left and jump down. Pick up Shotgun Shells. Jump down on the structure roof and pick up Small MediPack.

Enter this room and watch out the swinging blades. There is a lever to the right. As soon as you activate it, the floor underneath collapses and you fall down into the water.

Lost Valley

Pass through the corridor and turn left. There is a small ledge. Jump across and do a couple more. Climb the highest one and run through the corridors. You will see a bridge. There are some gears mounted on the wall and there is a lever to the left. If you observe closely you find out that three of the gears are missing. The objective of this level is simple: Find the gears, place them back and activate the lever to redirect the flow of the water and open a new door to the next level.

Face the gears and turn right. You have to climb down the cliffs. (Be careful not to fall into the water stream since you will be drifted to the waterfall and into the central pond) turn left and jump to the other side of the wall. There is a Shotgun next to the skeleton. Pick it up and climb down. If you run through the passageway you reach a small room with an opening on top. (later on when you find three gears and activate the lever, these corridors will be filled with water and you would be able to dive up the opening) Head back, Fall into the central pond and swim up.

Kill the wolves and run straight forward. Climb the big cliff and enter the passageway. Turn right and kill three wolves there. Come back and face the high cliff. Climb up, there is a Large Medi Pack next to the skeleton.

You can climb up on of the openings and keep shooting until it is dead. Head straight and kill two more raptors. Enter the ruined structure and dive into the waterfall. Swim right and pick up the first gear. Swim up and exit the structure. If you look on your right shoulder you see an opening hidden in the bushes above. Climb up the cliff. This lead to the broken bridge. Jump across and pick up the second gear. Climb down and look around. There are couple of waterfalls, but only one has a small entrance that you must dive in.

Swim your way through and climb out of water. Kill the raptor. Climb up the tall cliff and turn left. Pick up the third gear. Dive in and swim back to the valley. Run all the way back to the central waterfall with the large pond and turn left. Climb up the cliffs and go to the wall with the gears. Place the gears one by one and activate the lever. It opens the door at the bottom and redirects the water.

SECRET AREA 1:From top of the bridge dive into the water and climb out. There is a Large Medi Pack.

SECRET AREA 2: Dive back in. Swim your way through the newly water filled corridors that you visited earlier and climb out of the small opening. Pick up the Shotgun Shells and the Small Medi Pack. Head back to the central pond and swim through the opened gate that was covered by the main waterfall at the beginning.

SECRET AREA 3,4,5: COMING SOON

Go to the main chamber and activate the lever on your right. Kill the raptors. The lever opens a door on the right wall. Enter the door. You will see that this leads to three corridors branching like a fork. Head straight and enter the center corridor. There is a lever in the room that can not be activated from this side. Notice the collapsible plate at the base of the lever. Step on it. Jump down and kill the wolves.

Walk up the ramp and pull the stone block back. Turn around and pull it to the left. Enter the passageway and jump across the ledges. Underneath there is a Small Medi Pack. Enter the room and activate the lever. This opens one of the three gates in central chamber with the corresponding symbol. You need to open two more of these gates to reach the Scion room.

Run to the fork section and this time enter the right corridor. There is a block in the room. Push it all the way forward. There is another block that needs to be Pushed. Watch out the collapsible plates. Jump across and activate the lever.

Turn back to the fork section again and enter the left corridor. This is a room that has an open window facing a chamber with some tall blocks erected from the ground. Activate the lever. This causes one of the tall blocks move forward. Jump down from the window and enter the passageway. Climb the stairs and turn right.

Jump and hang onto the ledge. Activate the lever. This causes the other tall block move closer to the spikes on the floor. Head back and jump from one tall block to the other until you reach the room with the lever.(be careful not to fall on the spikes) Activate it and go back to the central chamber.

Head back to the hall and be prepared the shoot one of Natla’s hired goons. He will shoot you for a while and runs behind one of the tall pillars and disappears. Pull back the stone block on the other OMEGA symbol. It opens the upper door in the main hall.

To reach this door, you need to align the stone block with one of pillars and jump across from on pillar to another and finally to the platforms. Enter the room. SECRET AREA 1:If you look at your left shoulder (facing west) you will notice a platform above. Climb up the middle pillar and jump across onto it. Enter the room.

SECRET AREA 3:Climb down the hole in the room and before activating the lever dive into the water and swim up to an opening. Climb out of water and from above kill the alligator. Pick up the shot gun shells.

Dive back in and swim up. Activate the lever. The main gate at the end of the previously water filled section will open. Enter the gate and climb the stairs. You will find yourself standing in a very high platform with numerous sections underneath. There are four doors in this section that you need to open.

The main idea is to find four keys in four rooms and use them to open a large door at the base of this level. Turn right and drop down and kill the bat. Climb up the stairs and jump onto the central platform. You will notice the first door ‘NEPTUNE’ but it is closed. Drop down below, activate the lever which opens the ‘THOR’ door. Drop down even further below and activate the second lever which opens the ‘DAMOCLES’ door.

Face the ‘ATLAS’ door direction (which is closed) and turn right. Drop down, jump across the platform and kill the bats. Now to reach the ‘THOR’ door you have to jump diagonally across the platform and enter the room. Avoid the lightning bolt and enter the main hall. Step on the OMEGA sign and quickly run forward.

This will make the giant hammer and two moveable stone blocks fall down. Push and pull the lower block and use it to climb up the high platform. Push the second one as well. Climb up. Notice the Small Medi Pack. Lean against the wall and run forward. Quickly jump and grab onto the ledge and follow the path to the ‘THOR KEY’. Exit the room and while in the same platform, look down and drop below. Activate the lever that opens the ‘NEPTUNE’ door.

To reach the ‘DAMOCLES’ door you must jump across the platform. Enter the room (notice the hanging giant swords on the ceiling) step on the OMEGA symbol and enter the main chamber. Pick up the ‘DAMOCLES KEY’. Before leaving you might want to climb up and take the Small Medi Pack and Shotgun Shells. On your way back be extra careful with those falling swords. Step down all the way to the ground level and activate the lever.

Watch out Natla’s hired goon who is again shooting you. Shoot back until he disappears. (while stepping down you will notice some Magnum Clips on one of the platforms, go ahead and pick them up). Activate the lever. It causes the ‘ATLAS’ door to open. Climb up again and enter this newly opened door. Kill the gorilla, step on the OMEGA symbol and watch out the huge rolling stone.(there is a Small Medi Pack in the hole where the stone rolled in) Jump up the platform and grab the ‘ATLAS KEY’.

Now for the last door… Climb all the way up, kill the bats and enter the ‘NEPTUNE’ room. Dive into the water and swim down and immediately turn left. Swim up the opening and activate the lever. Head back and pick up the ‘NEPTUNE KEY’. Swim up and climb out of the pool. With the four keys in your possession, step down all the way one more time and kill the lions roaming around. Use the keys in the locks and exit the level.
