CRASH SITE

Use the Swamp Map to navigate the dangerous mire. Before you make the final jump from the swamp, jump off to the left and pull up into the small chamber. To jump back, run and jump from the very corner of the pad below the Secret. Test out the MP5 on the first of many raptors, the one lurking in the fog. Climb the rocks through the fog. In the area above, slay the raptor to the left, then take the path to the right. Look behind the large tree to find a dark hallway. Throw the two Switches inside to open the exit. If you don't shoot the soldiers, they will not fire at you. In the large open area, take out some Raptors, then head down the hallway to the right of the falls. In the dark, the hallway turns to the right. Climb the ladder, then backflip and jump from the slope to the branch above Shoot the raptor carcass and it drops to the stream below. That'll occupy the piranha indefinitely. Before you jump down into the stream, jump and grab the high branch. Be careful walking on the irregular limb to find a secret. Then drop down into the stream and pull the Switch while the fish feed nearby. The dark room with the three Switches is a nasty raptor trap. Throw a Switch, roll, run, and jump to the safety of the nearby box. From there, chase off the raptors in the vicinity, and make sure there are none behind you in the shadows before you hop down to throw the next Switch. Each time you pull a Switch, more raptors are released. When all three Switches have been pulled, jump and grab from the box to reach the upper area. Take Lieutenant Tuckerman's Key, wary of the raptor ambush. Double back to the pathway near the crashed plane and you should find a small, dimly lit corridor. Follow the corridor to the ledge above the open area. Collect the ammo. When you venture out toward the soldier, raptors attack from either side. Roll and run back to the ledge. When you are ambushed upon arriving in the upper area, don't be so quick to shoot the raptors. They usually make quick work of the soldier unless you intervene with more than Pistols. You can run past them and down the slope. Disperse the lizards and take the Small Medi Pack. When you take Commander Bishop's Key from his body in the nest, the torch near the first sealed door lights, and the door opens. Throw the Switch inside and a distant door opens back by the water pools. If you can throw that Switch, you gain access to the upper area (through the first hall) and any raptors in the area will come down to chew on the T-Rex. While that's going on, you can go back to the upper area and get the Secret. If any raptors come back up top, it's because the T-Rex lost the fight. Even if you kill the T-Rex and everything else in the vicinity, you can expect a single raptor to arrive when you throw the second green-hall Switch. Getting to the Secret up in the tree limbs, above the upper area, can be a bit tedious. Line up Lara's head so that the peak of the tree limb frames her head as she's standing on the edge of the ledge below. Jump forward and grab: you want to have one hand on either side of the limb's peak in order for her to grab hold and pull up. You can take the Large Medi Pack relatively easily by skipping over the small gap between limbs near the tree trunk. Make sure that you jump for the Flares at the tallest gap between the limb and the tree canopy, and stick the landing. Retrace your path back to where you first came upon the plane and killed the raptor. In that dark area is a low pillar to which you can jump and grab the top of. Climb up the tree, and monkey-swing to the trunk. Monkey-swing onto the long limb high above. When the camera pulls back, drop from the right side of the swing, about a meter from the end of the limb. Climb down the wall and shimmy left. Pull up on the ledge and crawl inside. Some places on the ledge won't let you climb down because of the slope below. Keep backing toward the ledge until you can climb down. Climb into the alcove and monkey-swing to the doorway looking into the large chamber. The first Switch is on the ledge below where you first enter the large chamber. Once you throw the first Switch, monkey-swing to the wall nearby and climb down to the second Switch. Jump from the second Switch ledge to the central pillar with the Save Crystal. From the central pillar, about-face, run, jump, and grab the ledge back near the entrance. Throw the first Switch again and take the long route on the monkey swing. Climb down the wall near the dead end. Backflip from the very bottom of the ladder to reach the alcove. Once you make it safely back from the third Switch, monkey-swing through to a new chamber. Run, jump, and grab the limb, then run and jump from there to the top of the plane. Inside the plane, dispose of the raptor and use both keys in the cockpit. With the power in the cockpit turned on, check the lower area of the plane. Throw the Switch below and the big gun extends into the outdoors where a major battle is brewing. Cut loose on the raptors and any unfortunate soldiers in the area. Across the river, in the corner of the structure on the right, are two walls that also blow open. That's the Crash Site exit.
