Walkthrough By Anurag WALKTHROUGH Gateway To The Past Kills: 16 Items: 3 Secrets: None In the next level Lara is standing inside the time machine & the starting message is “1180 B.C. near the city of Troy”. Drop down & kill 2 SCORPIONS. Avoid the Flaming Tree, as it will burn you. Now there are 3 ways to go. Don’t go straight we will go there later instead go left for now. Continue straight until you see a house like structure. Quickly run towards it evading 2 SPIKED BOULDERS on the way. Drop down into the water ahead & pickup the CROSSBOW. Now go to the other side when you reach the intersection. Continue forward until you reach a crawlspace. It is a dark one so better use a flare. Drop down & kill the GREEK WARRIOR there. Go near the South wall & avoid the SPIKED BOULDER that comes down making the ground shake. Your job here is done; get out of the crawlspace back to the intersection. You will notice that the path from the intersection to the crawlspace has changed. Now go for the third side. Go inside & turn left you can observe that the wall here has been broken. Kill the SCORPION there & continue to an open area with a bridge. Continue straight along the South wall, until you see steps going down at your right. Jump down these wooden steps, & all the way down to the water. First go to the West side & jump into the pit there. Get up in a room with slopes & fires, it is recommended that you get on the East side. Jump to the slope at your right, from there to another slope then to a third slope, from here jump while pressing ACTION to get on a block. From here jump to a ledge & then to the ladder. Climb the ladder right until you are just over a slope. Drop on the slope & then perform a roll jump by pressing ACTION, to get hold of another ledge. From here jump to another ledge at your right & then to another slope at your right. Then to another slope from here jump by pressing ACTION, so that you can grab the edge of a crawlspace. Crawl through & flip the LEVER there. A cut-scene shows you that a door has opened somewhere. Come out through the pit in the bridge area. Go to another pit in the water in North direction. Quickly come out of the pit & kill the CROCODILE that follows you, then re-enter the pit. Come out of the water, climb a small block. From here jump to another block & grab the chain from here. Backflip on a slope from the chain. Jump on the middle slope (As shown in the 1st screen, jump.jpg). on the opposite side & from there to another slope then to a ledge. From here jump to another ledge in Northwest from there to an opening in east. Crawl out the other side & kill the GREEK WARRIOR there & flip the LEVER, this opens a door somewhere. Come out in the area with the bridge & kill a CROCODILE. And climb the bridge as shown in the 2nd screen (bridge.jpg). Go past the now open doors, until you reach a T-intersection. First go left, past a fire & a skeleton & then into the crawlspace. Come out into an open area, with a SETHA & a LEVER, quickly flip the LEVER while avoiding SETHA’S attacks (You can’t Kill him). A cut-scene shows a gate opening. Return to the T-intersection & go straight. Descend the stairs into a room with burning boxes. First go into the room in North & pickup CROOSBOW EXPLOSIVE AMMO from the Southeast corner. Then go into the other room & past the now open gates. Climb up the Stairs & enter the temple, a cut-scene gives a panoramic view of the interior of the temple along with a lever, trapdoor & a medpack. Pick up the LARGE-MEDPACK below the statue of Athena. Climb up the stairs in the Southwest corner & reach the LEVER & flip it, this opens a trapdoor behind the statue. This is timed, so drop down & quickly drop through the trapdoor. Descend the stairs, & take a standing jump to reach just before the first SPIKED BARRELL, & then as soon as it oscillates towards right run through, avoid other 2 SPIKED BARRELLS by the same method. Grab the crawlspace in the southeast & continue to a room with 5 black tiles. Jump on the middle black tile & after that on the corner ones in a clockwise/anticlockwise manner to open the door, you may also attract 5 SKELETONS in doing so, take care of them with Crossbow explosive ammo. Slide down the open door, & stand on the black tile this opens a timed trapdoor at the far end of the passage. Avoid a SPIKED BARRELL, a SPIKED BOULDER & another SPIKED BARRELL to reach the ladder, climb through the open trapdoor. You’ll land up in a tunnel, at the T-intersection go right, as left side doesn’t contain anything. Follow the passage to reach a small room with an opening in the ground. Drop into another tunnel, follow the tunnel & evade the SPIKE TRAP. Again follow the path until you land up in another room with an opening, but this opening is closed as of now. Stand on the reddish-brown tiles at the center. This triggers a cut-scene; the walls reveal pictures of Cassandra as she begins to speak. Cassandra: “I am the voice that should not be, I am the truth God’s could not keep, When all is lost & troy is burnt Strangers leave no stone unturned; I am the voice that should not be I am tyrannies destiny Face the dark & feel the fear You will not make it out of here.” The opening is now open, drop through it into another tunnel. Again follow the passage avoiding a SPIKE TRAP on the way, until you reach another room with an opening; Safety drop through this opening onto a star symbol. Be careful not to fall off as the floor contains lava. Now walk on all the 4 catwalks first & kill 4 MUMMIES, after that do what you did in the room with 5 black tiles. Jump on the middle Star tile & after that on the other ones in a clockwise/anticlockwise manner to drain the lava below. Now the ground is safe & also a block has risen near the exit. Jump to the newly risen block in the Northeast direction; & from there into a passage that resembles the time portal. Run through this passage to enter in your time & also to end the double level adventure.
