Von Croy Industries

Level 13

Red Alert!

Important! If you are playing the PSX Beta Version of the game, this level is full of bugs. For example, if you save in certain areas, the game will shut down, lock up, or do something really weird, so be very careful in this level. In addition, There are several other types of bugs here that I will warn you about. I recommend saving very often to different memory cards or slots, so just in case you activate a bug, you can reload a saved game. The PC versions of this game are also affected. If you are playing the PSX Final Version, then, this level is fine, so you don't have to worry about these Beta bugs. Just ignore my warnings if you're playing the Final Version.

There’s a cutscene at the beginning where a guard is alerted about the intruder. The guard speaks to Werner Von Croy. The guard says that Lara managed to evade them and stole the Iris Artifact. There’s a second cutscene. A helicopter is outside the building and shoots at the building. The second you gain control of Lara, look up the stairs, and you’ll see one of those guys in the protective suits. Shoot him in the head, and continue your way up. A cutscene will show him falling off the stairs. The stairs break, and there’s a large gap. Continue your way up, and perform a running jump and grab to the other side of the stairs. Go up one flight of stairs, and then, you’ll see an explosion. Perform a running jump to the other side of the stairs since the stairs will begin to collapse beneath you. Wait for the helicopter to go away, then jump backwards, and grab the ledge. Climb down the fallen stairs. It’s like a ladder now. Then, when you get to the opening, shimmy left, and run forward. Collect the Secret. Turn around, and perform a jump and grab back to the stairs. Climb all the way up. Then, turn right, and perform a standing jump to the next set of stairs. From here, do a running jump and grab to the next set of stairs. Run up the stairs, but jump since it will explode. Walk up to the wall, and press action. Lara will kick in the cracked wall. Now, crawl through, and follow the path out. Once you crawl out, you’ll notice that the camera angle is hinting at something. Walk forward, and you’ll see that a bad guy is walking on the metal grating above you. Wait until the bad guy goes away. Then, stand under the trapdoor on the ceiling, jump up, grab it, and let go. The trapdoor is hard to find. The trapdoor is the part of the grating that is closest to the camera and to the right. Make sure that the bad guy is not coming by when you open it, or else he'll start shooting at Lara. If you see him coming, get away from the trapdoor until he goes away. Then, go to the trapdoor, and jump up. The guard above will start shooting, and you can’t aim with LaserSight since the camera won’t let you. So, quickly climb up to the next level, and shoot him. Run to the room with the boxes, and Zip will contact you. He says that the hall ahead is guarded with infrared lasers. Use your headset, and put on the infrared mode to see them. Then, go the boxes on the left of the room, and get the HK ammo only if you're playing the Final Version. If you're playing the Beta Version, DO NOT pick it up because you might activate a bug. Just face the hallway. So, hop down off of the box if you're in the Final Version, and face the hallway. Use the HK Gun with LaserSight to shoot the pipe next to where the steam is coming out. Now, you can see where the infrared lasers are.

When crossing the hallway, look at the pattern. The infrared lasers appear where the white lines are on the floor. The lasers disappear for a short time then appear again. Then, they disappear for a longer time period. Cross when they disappear for a longer time. Use this technique to get across the hallway. Also, try not to jump. Just run forward. If you jump, you might go too far and get burned. One more tip is to save after you get past one laser, so if you get burned on the next one, you won’t have to start all over again. Once across the hallway, turn to your left, and you’ll see some boxes. Hop on top of them to get the Large Medipack. After, hop off of the boxes, and continue your way down the hallway. You’ll see an elevator. When you approach it, it will open, and a guard will come out. Shoot him, and go inside. Press action at the keypad, and the elevator will move. Once you leave the elevator, shoot the guard to your left. Then, run forward. You’ll see two blue doors, and there are more doors on this level. However, most of them are locked except one. Run into the left door, and this is the target area. Run up to the center of the screen, and press action. Now, you have to shoot all the targets as fast as you can. You only have one try, so if you’re not quick enough, the other doors won’t open. Use Rapid Mode so you can shoot the targets faster. If you were successful, the lamp in front of you will light up, and the other doors are open. This next target range is hard since the targets appear in a sequence. Shoot them in the order they come up. If you fail, then you’ll be killed by gas. If you were successful, just run out of the room, and at the end, two doors are open. Go into the right, and pick up the HK Ammo on the floor. Turn around, and go to the opening with the green lasers, and pick up a new weapon- the grappling hook gun. This weapon is like those that appear in Batman. You have to aim at a ceiling grate so that the hook will latch on. Then, you can use it as a rope. This weapon is very handy. You can only fire when the LaserSight turns green at the center. An important note about the grappling hook gun is that if you're playing the Beta Version, you have to be careful. If you use it in the wrong places, the game might get messed up. So, if you're using the Beta Version, use this weapon with caution. After you pick it up, a guard will appear behind you, so shoot him. Pick up the Grappling Hook Ammo, and then, leave the room through the other door. It’s next to one of the red infrared lasers.

You’ll see that you’re in a room with lots of crates. Kill the bad guy at the back left corner of the room. He’s hiding behind one of the crates. Now, what you have to do is climb up on the box at the far right corner of the room. Then, perform a standing jump and grab to the box higher than that. On top of this box, you can pick up some HK Ammo. Turn around, and look at the ceiling. You can see that there is a metal grating at the top. Aim, and shoot it. A rope is now hanging from the metal grating. Jump down to the lower box that is right in front of the rope. Perform a standing jump and grab to the rope. Now, rotate around a tiny bit to your right, and you’ll see a hole in the wall. Face it, and begin to swing in that direction. You might not exactly swing into the hole, but you can grab onto the gray parts of the wall and shimmy to the hole. Once you’re inside the hole, run forward, and to your left will be a ramp. Equip a weapon, so that you’ll be ready for the two guys in metal suits. Slide down the ramp, and when you see them, shoot them in the head. This is another target practice, so you have to kill them before they get near you. If you succeed, the door on your right will be open. Pick up the HK ammo on the floor, and pick up the Secret at the center of the block.

Now, you’re done here. Turn around, and leave this room. Immediately head right, and you’ll see the elevator in front of you. Go inside, and press action at the keypad. The elevator will move. Run forward, and a bad guy will attack you from the right. Shoot him, and turn left. You’re back to the corridor with the infrared lasers. You’ll have to cross them again. Remember the technique. Cross the lasers when they disappear for the longer time period. After you’ve crossed the corridor with the lasers, turn left, and drop down into the trapdoor you opened earlier. Crawl through the hole, and you’re back onto the stairs. Take out the Grappling Hook Gun. Aim at the ceiling, and when the LaserSight flashes green, shoot. Perform a running jump to the rope, and grab on. Swing forward, and jump. You’ll start sliding, and there is a fire below. Jump quickly before you slide into the fire, and grab onto the ledge. Climb up. Run forward, and then, duck into the crawlspace. At the end, you’ll hear warning music. Somersault out, and quickly kill the bad guy in the head with the LaserSight. If you don’t kill him in time, he’ll activate the automatic machine gun. Flip the switch to the right of the door, and take the Large Medipack. If you're playing the Beta Version, the Large Medipack is not there. Then, run out and to the right. Push the elevator button, and go into the elevator. Push the keypad, and the elevator will move. Run out, and kill the guys who have come down from the ceiling on ropes. You’re in a room with lots of stairs. The ropes that the bad guys used are still here. You’ll need these ropes. Run to the switch to the left of the door at the top of the stairs. From here, turn around, and perform a running jump and grab to the ropes. Swing up, and jump off. You’ll grab onto the metal grating, and it will open. A bad guy will shoot you from inside. Use the HK Gun to kill him. Behind you, a bad guy has entered from the door. Shoot him, too. A bug also occurs here. Sometimes, those metal doors won't open, and you can't go in. So, don't save here.

Now, climb into the hole in the wall, and run forward. Run to the right. Follow the path, and soon, you’ll fall down a trap door. You’ll slide down some ramps. Run forward, and you’ll reach a room with lots of doors. Lasers guard all of the doors, except one. Go through the door that’s not guarded by lasers. It’s to the right. Run in, and you’ll find another intersection. The one on the left is guarded by lasers, so go to the right. Duck into the crawlspace. At the end, turn to your right, and climb up the black metal grating. For the Beta Version, the room you're about to enter is filled with bugs. Do not save here. Save before you enter. So, run forward, and the metal grating will open in front of you. Drop down, and there is a bald man. Actually, he's a dangerous cyborg. Shoot him, and jump around to avoid his fire. When his metal leg begins to spark, climb up onto the box in the middle, and look for a red valve wheel. Shoot it, and water begins to fill the room. If you're in the Beta Version, the valve wheel might not be there since you might have activated the bug. If you did, you can't finish the game. Use the cheats to get back. Now, if it is there, and you've shot it, then, the cyborg dies since he’s electrocuted. Unfortunately, here is another bug in the Beta Version. If you're standing a corner, then, Lara will fall down automatically and get electrocuted, so make sure you stay away from the corners while shooting at the valve wheel. Now, pick up the HK ammo on the box you’re standing on. Don’t fall to the ground, or else you’ll die instantly. Perform a diagonal running jump to the steep slope. Keep hitting the jump button, and you’ll keep jumping up the steep slopes. It’s easy. Soon, you’ll land on a normal platform. Now, turn to your right, and jump onto the other platform. Take your Grappling Hook Gun, and aim at the ceiling grate. Shoot it, and jump back. If you stand too close and jump, you’ll miss. So, perform a standing jump from a step back and grab to the rope. Swing forward, and jump into the hole in the wall. Run forward, and flip the lever in the wall. By flipping this switch, the electric water on the floor has been washed away. Don't save here after hitting the switch because if you reload, the water might reappear, and you can't get the key. If you're using the Final Version, you're fine. Now, turn around, and perform a running jump back to the rope. Swing back to the other side. Drop down on the floor, and collect the Large Medipack and the Key bit (left). Now, the exit is closed, so you must hit the switch again. Climb up the block in the middle. Perform a running jump to the slanted slope, and keep hitting the jump button. On the flat platform, jump to the other platform. Swing across the rope. Go inside, and flip the lever again. Turn around, and perform a running jump and grab back to the rope. Swing over to the other side. Then, tap back. Fall backwards off of the ledge, and grab onto the top of the airshaft. Release action for a short moment, and hold it again. You have grabbed onto the lower part of the airshaft. From here, climb inside. Run forward, and drop down.

Crawl through the crawlspace, and when you’re out, run straight forward very quickly. A helicopter is shooting at you from outside. Jump when you pass the yellow containers because they explode, and the floor will collapse. Run into the next room, and make a left through the other entrance. The helicopter will shoot at you again. Run behind the counter. Duck, and crawl. The helicopter can’t shoot you. Crawl to the other side, and hit the switch. Run back into the previous room, and one of those cyborgs will shoot at you. Here is another Beta Version bug. This cyborg is very important because he is holding the Key Bit (Right), which is essential to finishing the game. The point is to jump over the gaps and get to a room where you can flip a switch to trap him. However, in the Beta Version, there is a bug where he loses interest in you and doesn't follow you anymore. Then, you can't trap him, and you can't finish the game. This might not happen. Instead, the cyborg might fall into the gaps in the floor, and the robot can't get out. Then, you can't get the next key bit. Try not to save here because this might be one of the problems. Now, let's get back to the walkthrough. You're in the room with the cyborg. Ignore him, and run past. Run very quickly, and jump across the large gaps. Turn right into the first corridor. Run through quickly so that the cyborg is far behind. Turn at every corner, and soon you’ll reach a corridor with gray walls. You can see that there is some metal grating above you and a door. Hit the switch to shut the door above you, and it will trap the cyborg. This is very important for finishing the game. If you don’t trap the cyborg in the room, then you can’t finish the game. However, you can always try again by flipping the switch again. However, I wouldn't recommend this because you would have to leave this room, and run past the corridor where the helicopter is. You'll have to go all the way to the room on the end, wait for the cyborg to get near you, and run back really fast. If you were successful, leave this room, and turn left. You’re back at the room with the laser-guarded doors. Make a left into the gray door that’s not guarded by lasers, and run through. These halls have gas inside, so run quickly. Run all the way across until you can’t run forward anymore. Then, make a left. Run across until you can’t go any farther. Then, turn left. Step up the box, and press the button. Then, turn around, and crawl through the crawlspace to get the Secret. Now, turn around, crawl out, and run to the left. You’re back in the previous room. Kill the two bad guys here. Go all the way back into the first room you passed when you came into these gas-filled corridors, and make a right into the room. Flip the lever on the wall in front of the box, and the gas from this room will go into the gas where the cyborg is trapped. He will be gassed to death, and he’ll also leave the Key Bit (right) behind. Now, flip the switch again, and leave this room. Make a right, and run forward to the room with the four doors. Run right to go back to the gray corridor where you flipped the switch to trap him, and flip it again. Run forward, and follow the path back to where the cyborg died. Collect the Key Bit (right), and combine it with the Key Bit (left). You now have the Helipad Access Key.

Go into the corridor by the green window. Run through, and you’ll find yourself outside where the helicopter was shooting at you. Immediately, turn right. Run forward, and take another right into the room with the laser-guarded doors. Take a left. Climb up the platform. Turn around, and perform a standing jump and grab to the climbable wall. Climb up. At the top, shimmy left. Then drop down onto the floor. Run forward, and drop down onto the box. Now, drop down onto the floor. Zip will congratulate you. Run forward, and go to the slot next to the door. Use the Helipad Access Key, and run through the door that opened. You have finished the game. Watch the cutscene at the end. Lara runs outside, and she runs across the roof. Three men shoot at her, but she escapes on her hang glider. Meanwhile, Lara’s three friends drink a toast to Lara. Von Croy is still in Egypt. An Egyptian man runs up to Von Croy and tells him to come quickly. He leads Von Croy into a building. He finds her backpack. Now, if you collected all the Secrets, then wait until the credits finish rolling. After, you are back to the main menu. Now, select “Special Features.Enbsp; You get to view some artwork and a preview for the Next Generation. This is the sixth Tomb Raider game.
