The Quad Bike waits nearby as the level begins. There are goodies in the crawlspace nearby, but that's not the level's first Secret. Check the ramp that leads-sort of-toward the far opening. Don't take the trip without the first Secret. From near the ramp, back off the ledge and grab. You should find a group of ladders which takes you to the left. The series of jumps is very demanding. Be careful not to back up too far when you're making a run. Pay particular attention to the headroom as you line up each leap. At the low area across the short gap, reverse and do a backflip. The following jump is of the running variety. In the Secret room, stand facing the first slope and jump to it. Keep jumping to reach the safe platform. Don't overlook the Shotgun Shells. After retracing your path to the Quad Bike, make the big leap. Engage the brakes to power up the engine, and let 'er rip. Hug the wall and coax the bike along whenever passing a dangerous drop-off. Notice how you can back up to the wall, and the Quad lines up perfectly straight for each jump? Finally, circle to a high ledge-across a short, dark gap-and make an impressive leap for a distant ramp. Back up to the wall and get a full throttle run. The Quad's path dead ends temporarily at a gold-lattice door. Disembark and check the wall near the ramp you just came from. Run and jump to the hallway. Crawl along the path. When you stand, be wary of snakes. There are two cobras around blind corners in the short network of halls. Jump from the edge of the hole to cross above the area where the Quad waits. From the room with the second snake, drop down to the hallway. Expect monkeys to intrude when you go near the door switch. Atop the Quad once more, the area of the blue Save Crystal is where the paths in the level diverge. The right-hand route is the shortcut. The main trail is the only way to get all the Secrets. Circle around the building which held the second Gate Key. You'll find a small jungle area back near the river. Check the slope you're jumping from for irregularities. When you cross back over the river, the shortcut path intersects with the main trail. Back where the paths diverge, the left-hand route is the main trail, the path with all the Secret areas. The long jump is a killer. Jump along the right-hand side of the slope and turn into the wall on the right, once you land, to arrest your momentum. Creep up the slope and through the door on the right. Just through the right-hand door off the big slope there's a room with a big hole in the floor. Past the room with the hole in the floor, hug the right and stop at the top of the long, outside ramp. On your Quad Bike, pick one side of the ramp, instead of the middle. Back to the wall, engage the brake, gun the engine, and go! Follow the hallway. It appears to split in two, but both routes are headed in the same general direction. Get off the bike and look around. The large hallways lead to an open area where you can see a Save Crystal far above. You'll have to jump the Quad Bike from an upper ramp on this side of the gorge. The ramp is long but not too perilous, as long as you take it slowly. Watch those corners. Just past the final corner, where you can see the actual jump ahead, there's a hole in the ramp! Back up flat against the wall with the hole in the ramp a few meters in front of you. Brakes! Throttle! Action! In the area with the Save Crystal, you have one last big jump to look forward to. Hopefully those are getting to be routine. Climb down the ladder before you make the trip. Across the last big jump, you sit atop a high cliff. The path to another Secret is along the ledge on the left. Expect a vulture near the hill. Follow the upper ledge near the tall cliff. Run and jump to a ledge across a chasm. Getting back off the secret ledge is another jumping exercise. Jump to the slope, and jump again. There is no reason to go back for the Quad Bike, if you left it behind. The area up ahead is where the main route intersects the shortcut. From the platform above the falls, you can see the final secret-the dirty ledge low and to the right. When you jump to the short ledge to climb the cliffs opposite the falls, a trio of buzzards attacks. Put your back to the wall and whip out the Shotgun. From a lower ledge facing the cliff face with the secret entrance, look down and spy some ammo. From the area of the ammo, you can plainly see a long crack leading to the secret. Run, jump, and grab from the area of the ammo to catch the ledge. Shimmy right. Pass through the waterfall and climb the rocks to the tunnel exit.
