Russia
Level 4
The Base
You begin this level by sliding down a ramp in an air shaft. When you land, run to the right, and follow the hallway. There are a lot of twists and turns. Once you reach the bottom, there will be a large door to your right. Run through it, and a cutscene will show that you are in a room with lots of metal and brown crates. Be very careful. There's a villain controlling a large crane behind a glass window, and he is trying to kill you with it. Make sure that when you're in this room, you're always on the move because the large crane will crush you if you stand still. If you stand near the wall, you are safe. It is also easy to find out where the crane is since there is a shadow and a loud sound when the crane drops.
Now, run forward until you see a red crate on the right and a metal crate on the left. Turn left here, and to your right will be a cabinet. Walk up to the cabinet, and press action. Lara will open the cabinet and get the Silver Key. Now, turn around, and go back to the door you came in. Turn right here, and go past a large door with a bar on it. Go behind the crates, and you'll go to another door with a keyhole in it. Use the Silver Key here, and go inside. Go up the stairs, and soon, there will be a glass window with some bad guys inside. Shoot all of them, and one of them will drop the Swipe Card behind. Collect that, and go inside the room that they were in. At the left side of the room, there is a cabinet. Go up to it, and get the uzi. Leave this room, and go down the stairs. Turn immediately right, and turn left around the crates. Go straight all the way to the door to the left of the cabinet. Use the Swipe Card here, and once you're inside, kill the dog. Go through the hallway, and you'll see metal grating on the right and left sides of the hallway. Shoot out the right one, and hop inside. Run forward a bit, and get the Secret. Then, climb back out. Go out the door, and immediately turn left. Run past the cabinet that you got the Silver Key from, and you'll see another door. There's a slot where you can use the Swipe Card, so do that. The door will open, and you can go up the stairs. You will soon come to a balcony overlooking the room with the crates. The object of this is to jump on the boxes without falling or getting killed by the crane until you get to a balcony on the other side. Now, look to your right, and you'll see a metal crate below the glass window. Do a running jump to that box. Be quick since the crane will smash you. Now, do a running jump to the big cluster of boxes to your left. From there, vault onto the brown crate, and do a running jump to the cluster of boxes near the other balcony. Climb onto the brown box here, and do a running jump and grab to the balcony. You have now made it across.
Run up to the door, and open it. Go inside, and a cutscene will take place. Lara kills the guy controlling the crane, and in addition to that, Lara uses the crane to smash out a part of the wall. Don't leave yet. Get the uzi ammo and the Small Medipack from the cabinets. Now, leave this room, and stand on the balcony. Look for the part of the wall that you smashed with the crane. Go through it, and you'll run through a corridor. Two bad guys will attack you from right and left. Shoot them both. Now, there are doorways to your right and left. Run through the doorway to your left. Follow the corridor, and you will soon be outside. It is snowing, and you can see the u-boat far away. To your left are some crates. There is some water that you can swim in, and there are lots of crates. This area is great to explore and practice some of Lara's moves. You can see a track in the middle with a railcar. Next to the railcar is a red crate that is hanging from a crane. First, climb onto the railcar in the middle, and climb up the red box. Turn left, and climb up the other red crate that is hanging from the crane. From here, look ahead of you and to the left. You will see a cluster of boxes. There are some metal boxes on the left. Go to the right side of the box you're standing on. Then, do a diagonal running jump to the metal box. This is a long jump, and it might take a couple of tries to make it. Once you're here, climb up all the boxes to the top. On top of the brown crate is a Secret. Take the Secret, and jump off of the boxes. There is a door that can be opened with a Swipe Card. It is next to the boxes that you were just on. Go to the door, use the Swipe Card, and go inside. Run inside, and follow the path. You'll soon come to a room, and a bad guy is shooting at you. Kill him, and pick up the Silver Key that he left behind. There is also a machine in the room. Run to the back of the machine, and you'll see that a fuse is missing. Now, run out of this room, out into the railroad tracks, and back inside. Run straight across to the other door. Follow the path, and you'll soon come upon a closed door. Use the Silver Key here, and go inside.
Go up the stairs, and a cutscene will play where Admiral Yarofev and Sergei are talking. Once the cutscene finishes, run to the right, and jump and grab the platform. Climb up, run forward, left, and then jump to the next platform. Go forward, and get the Desert Eagle ammo and LaserSight. Now, jump down, and run forward then left. There will be a door where you can use the Swipe Card. Use it, and go inside. Kill the dog that jumps at you, and you can see that you're in a locker room with showers to the left. There is also a door in front of you that can be opened with the push of a button. Don't go through the door yet. Run to the six lockers, and open all of them. You will get uzi ammo, a fuse, a Small Medipack, and the Desert Eagle. Now, run to the showers, and go to the back right corner. Open the trapdoor with action. Dive in, and take a right. Follow the path, and pretty soon, you'll surface. Get the Secret, and dive back in. Follow the path all the way, and make a left. Swim up, and you'll be back at the showers. Now, run out, and go to the door with the button. Push the button, and go inside. Now, run across to the other door, and you're back to the railroad tracks. Now, there are two snipers in the windows above you. Combine the Desert Eagle and LaserSight. Aim, and shoot both of them. Go back to the room with the missing fuse. Walk up to the fuse box, press action, and you'll place the fuse in the missing spot. Now, the power plant is up and running. Go back to the front of the machine, and kill the dog that attacks you. To the left, you'll see a newly opened door. Push the button, and the red crate that was hanging from the crane will switch position. Leave this room, and go back to the railcar. Jump up the red crate, and do a running jump to the hanging crate. Now, do a running jump, and you'll reach the u-boat. A cutscene will play where Lara sneaks up behind a Russian dock worker. She hits the side of a crate, and the dock worker comes to take a look. He finds nothing, but Lara is behind him. She throws a punch, but he blocks it. He twists her arm around, but Lara elbows him and then swings around with an uppercut. He is knocked out, and this is the end of the level.

Level 5
The Submarine
The cutscene continues here. It is several hours later, and Lara is on the submarine. Admiral Yarofev and some of his men capture Lara and take away her weapons. In addition, they lock her up in a small sleeping quarter. There are a lot of bed compartments in this tiny space. Once you regain control of Lara, run forward a bit, and turn left. You are now in between the sleeping quarters. To your right and left are metal handles. There are four in total. One is loose and can be pried off. Walk up to the loose handle, and press action. Lara will pry it off. Now, you have a crowbar. Now, run to the left and to the back. You will come in front of a metal grating. Press action, and Lara will use her crowbar to pry it open. You have a means of escape.
Go into the air vent, and start crawling through. Begin to crawl, and follow the path. You'll soon reach a climbable wall. Walk up to the wall, and press action. Lara will climb up. Start crawling again, and soon you'll come to a hole in the crawl space. Turn around so that Lara's feet face the ledge. Lower yourself down, and grab onto the ledge. You'll see that this is a climbable wall. Begin to climb down. About halfway down, there is a small opening. Go into the opening by shimmying in that direction. Run inside, and collect the first Secret. Turn around, and run back out. There are climbable walls all around you. Jump, and climb to the wall on the right. Climb up, and crawl inside the crawl space. Start crawling again, and soon, you'll reach another hole. There are electrical wires that are moving around, and the hole is very deep. This is dangerous, so turn around with your feet to the ledge. Crawl backwards, and grab onto the ledge. Begin to shimmy left, and crawl into the first hole. Go inside, and open the trapdoor by pressing action. Drop down. You'll be inside a room with shelves and drawers. Search through all of them, and you will get the Battery (-) and the Small Medipack. Jump back onto the brown box, and climb back into the vent. Once you reach the hole again, crawl backwards, and grab onto the ledge. Shimmy left, and climb into the hole. Crawl through, and pretty soon, a cutscene will begin. Sergei and Admiral Yarofev are talking about reaching the missing submarine and talk about the captured spy.
Once the cutscene finished, start crawling forward, and you'll reach a trapdoor. Open it with action, and jump down. Look around, and you'll see that you're in a kitchen. You'll see some stoves and a chef working. He doesn't notice you, and make sure you keep it that way. Drop down off of the platform, and some warning music will play. You have to be very quiet here, so walk slowly. Walk behind the chef, and when you are behind him, press action. A cutscene will play where Lara knocks him out. If you are unsuccessful with this stealth attack, the chef will notice you. He will begin to attack you with his knife. If this happens, you'll have to reload the game. You can't attack him back since you have no weapons. Once he's knocked out, take the Bronze Key that he left behind. Now, look around you, and you'll see that there are two doors. There is a Bronze-colored door and a Silver-colored door. Go to the silver door, and use the Bronze Key there. Go inside, and there are some shelves and drawers. Search through them, and you'll obtain the Silver Key. You'll also get your pistols back from the drawers. Now, you can finally fight back against some bad guys. Now, leave this room, and go to the bronze door. Use the Silver Key here. Once the second the door opens, equip your pistols. You are in a dining room, and some bad guys are here. Kill them, and pick up the normal shotgun ammo that one of them leaves behind. There are several doors in this dining room, and go through the door that does not lead to the bathroom. Once inside, turn left. Kill the bad guy. Run up, and you'll see a door to the right and left. Go through the open door to the right. Go in, and climb up the ladder. Follow the path, and you'll enter a cargo space with lots of crates. Shoot all the bad guys in here, and there are lots of items to collect here. On top of the boxes, collect the Agualang, the Large Medipack, and the shotgun. Next to the door in which you came in, there is a brown crate with a hole at the left side. Go up to the crate, and press action. Lara will pry open the crate with the crowbar, and you can get the Secret inside. Now, leave this room. Follow the path, and go down the ladder. Run forward and then left. Next, make a right, and you're back to the dining room.
Run to the back right corner of the dining room, and open the closed door. You'll be in a narrow corridor. Run forward a bit, and go into the first room on the right. Kill the bad guy. You can see that there are shelves, drawers, and a brown box. There is nothing in the shelves and drawers. Jump on top of the brown box, and stand on the edge. Jump up, and grab the trapdoor. Lara will open it, and now you can climb up. In here, crawl forward, and turn right. Then, turn left. When you get on top of a metal grating, stand up. Turn right, and go to the wall. Jump up, and grab. You'll climb in to a secret compartment. Run forward, and collect the next Secret. Turn around, and jump back down. Continue the path until you reach a trapdoor. Open the trapdoor, and go down. Kill the bad guy that comes into the room through the hallway. Climb down off of the brown box you landed on, and search through the drawer to get the Battery (+). Combine the Battery (+) and Battery (-) to get the Suit Battery. The shelves are empty. Now, leave this room through the hallway. Follow the path. Soon, you will come upon an opening to the left. Don't go through it. That leads to the dining room. Just keep going straight. Drop down the ladder, and follow the path. Shoot the bad guy, and get the wide shotgun ammo he left behind. Go into the room that he came from, and you're inside a bedroom with lots of beds. Go to left all the way around the beds, and collect the Small Medipack. Leave the room, and make your first right to the closed door. Open it, and you're inside a torpedo room. Shoot the guy inside here, and run across to the end of the room. Climb up the ladder, and you're in front of a hallway with four rooms. Open the first door to your right, and kill the bad guy in here. Get the Suit Console that he left behind. Combine it with the Agualang. Now, go into the last room on the right, and shoot the bad guy. Run across to the room right in front, and open the door. Go to the upper part of the diving suit on the left, and use the Suit Console and the Suit Battery. A cutscene will play where Lara puts the diving suit on. This is the end of the level. |
