JUNGLE

Don't slide down the large dirt hill until you nab the level's first secret. Jump up and over the slope on your right as the level gets underway, and slide down onto the green ledge. Sliding down the dirt slope, jump up and grab the overhead log. Dispose of the monkey, and line up as illustrated in the screenshot before hanging and dropping from the back of the log to the slope once more. Let Lara slide to a stop. If you lined up properly, you should stop in a small spike-free section. Jump towards the wall on the left to continue downward. Sliding down near the wall, you can reach the ledge below and not have to worry about the boulder, which releases when you go for the Large Medi Pack. From the ledge with the boulder, walk to the point ground to the right of the tree. Jump from there past the tree, leaning to the left in mid-air. From the ledge with the boulder, run back onto the slope facing forward. Jump across the last row of spikes, hugging the wall on Lara's left. Collect the Save Crystal, but walk carefully in the area, as most of it is a quicksand mire. Jump, grab and pull-up to the top of the pillar just past the crystal. From the solid ground near where you found the Save Crystal, you can wade to a short hall. In the open area, shoot the monkey before he runs off with the Small Medi Pack on the patio. Check the river through a narrow passage on the right as you spied the larcenous monkey. The current is strong, and the water is filled with piranha. Down a hallway off the monkey's patio is a switch to throw. Throwing the switch down the short hallway opens the door on the ledge above the patio. When you throw the switch in the dark chamber, a wall of spikes closes in from Lara's left. Throw the switch, roll, and run for the safety of the sill behind you. Climb quickly and roll. When the wall passes, use the rope slide on the newly accessible ledge. Through the hole in the huge tree, expect a tiger in the open area. If you move fast, you can jump up over the sloped side of the log on the left, and fight from atop it. In the same area where the tiger attacks, you can jump up a greenish slope and collect ammo. Defend against the resident monkeys, and throw the switch inside the tree mindful of the impending boulder. Investigate the area where the boulder first sat to find a second switch near a gate. Backflipping, or bouncing off the sloped sides of the area, can help you dodge the kitties. The second appears when you approach the far end of the path. Notice there is an area where you can pass through the hedge. Past the path of tigers, a monkey waits in fog shrouded clearing. Avoid the spiked pit, and don't overlook the ammo near the trees on the right. Crawl beneath the fallen tree and follow the path to climb atop it. Expect more tiger trouble near the Save Crystal. Hanging and dropping from the secret log, you'll fall into a nasty trap below. Keep jumping back and forth to avoid the spikes, and keep leaning to one side to gradually jump clear of the slopes. After you collect the ammo from the rocks near the entrance, drop down into the tunnel and walk to the far wall amidst the spikes. Pull up to the ledge above to escape: DO NOT jump and grab, use the action and forward buttons. Backtrack around to the area near the secret log entrance, and follow the lattice-work hallway to a spiked ledge. Shoot the monkey prowling the cliff face, and walk through the spikes. Run and jump and grab to reach a distant outside corner of the latticed hall. From there, jump to the slope above the hallway, slide backward and grab the edge. Shimmy all the way to the right before pulling up to claim the Save Crystal. Climb and shimmy to the high dark cave. If you throw a flare near the entrance, it's easier to spot the exit when the boulder is chasing you. Hurt the monkey and throw the switch. The boulder falls from above when you double-back down the hallway. In the jungle area, a monkey will lead you towards a boulder trap. Two roll out initially, then a third when you investigate up the hill towards the bushes. Climb the extreme right side of the hill, jumping a slope to reach the bushes. Explore the river area for ammo. You'll have to leap to the small central island, then jump up from the square sector to grab the ledge above. Throwing the switch on the upper ledge opens the door high on the wall in the background. To reach the door, you have to run and jump and grab from the small island to a flat spot just to the right of the pillar. Ride the rope slider across the chasm to the hallway, and follow the passage to the left. From atop a pillar you can reach the Save Crystal unmolested, but expect two tigers when in the large outer area. You can coax the tigers out of hiding by jumping atop the pillar, as shown here. In order to reach the opening on the right side of the falls, you must flood the huge area. Investigate the dark passage to the left of the falls. Cross the pool, and turn to the right on the ledge near the distant sealed portal. Don't overlook the flares on the central platform. To the right of the aforementioned sealed portal is a block to pull twice. The portal should open. Inside is a switch, which opens a trapdoor behind the block. Swim down behind the block and surface at a walkway. Throw the switches at either end of the walk. Return to the outer pool and throw the switch behind the second unsealed portal. The large area near the waterfalls floods. Now you can return and swim to the ledge that had been out of reach. Follow the path up the falls, and you'll find a hallway with a switch to throw. Don't hit any solid ground if you leap from high up near the falls. Follow the underwater passage now open off of the flooded area. When you surface, you'll be floating in a pool with a tiger lurking nearby. Roll, jump, and fire to kill the tiger. After killing the tiger, check the area for ammo and then climb the ladder. Up the ladder, make sure to dispose of the monkey. From the upper ledge, dispose of the tiger. Collect the ammo from the small alcove to the left of the door, then apply the Indra Key to the lock. Slog through the quicksand to make your exit.
