CITY OF KHAMOON

Jump into the pit, using the block at the right as a step. Turn left and enter the tunnel and use the switch to open a door below you. Enter this door and pull the block 3 times, then enter the passage behind it to get a medipack and magnum clips. Go back and climb up on the block, then pull a second block out from a slot in the wall and into the room. Push it up against the wall and use it to jump up and grab a crevice; shuffle to the right till you can climb up. A large sandy cave and a huge face looming out of the darkness -- and whoops, a black panther coming to get you. Shoot him and walk down the sandy floor until Lara stops, then wait a moment for a huge mummy monster to come staggering out from between the Sphinx's paws. Shoot at him till he explodes (and incidentally, it's not a good idea to be too close when they blow), then slide down to the floor of the main room. On your right is an obelisk (the Obelisk of Khamoon, in fact) in a pool of water. Dive to the bottom and get some magnum clips (you should be able to use the magnums as a default from now on), then surface on the side with the palm trees and jump up to the ledge above you. Run and jump to the top of the obelisk to get some shotgun shells, then jump into the water and come up on the side where the Sphinx is. Climb up on his left paw and up behind his head, where you will find a tunnel with shotgun shells and a Sapphire Key. Go around to the front again and between his legs, where there's a movable block. Pull it out twice and jump behind it, then use the Sapphire Key to open the door. Go down the passage to the next room; turn right and jump up to a ledge with a medipack. Jump forward to the next ledge on this side of the room and shoot the panther below, then jump to the ledge along the far wall. Go down the right passage and kill another panther as he charges at you. Walk under a bridge and stand at a ledge to shoot a crocodile in a large room below. Drop down and enter a tunnel under the ledge you were standing on to get a medipack, then return. Run across the ramp in the middle of the room to trigger a boulder, then walk to where it stopped, turn right, and go up the hill to a dark passage. Climb the ledges and jump into the room for SECRET #1, magnum clips and a medipack. Walk to the pool in the corner and jump in. Pull the lever under water to open a door to a new pool; surface and get out quickly so you can shoot the crocodile below you. (If you're too fast, you may have to drop in again to lure him out.) Walk to the ledge below the gate and climb up. Push the movable block towards the stairs twice, then get on it and jump to the ledge below the door. Pull yourself up and go up the steps. Jump up into the tunnel and use the wall switch to extend a gold bridge in the previous room. Return to the room and jump back to the block. Push the block towards the stairs, then pull and push it out on the walkway towards the ledge with a second movable block on it. Climb up and jump to that ledge, then push the block twice. Enter the passageway you just revealed (you're on the bridge you walked under to reach the room with the crocodile and the ramp) and flip the switch you find to open door in the ceiling above the golden bridge. Return to the ledge and jump to the gold bridge, then jump up and climb into the door in the ceiling. Throw the switch up there to open a door under the cat statue. Head for the white statue that looks like a gong and jump to a ledge on the left. Turn right and jump to the rocks; turn right and drop a bit to get some magnum clips. Turn left and slide down the slopes. Get the medipack and jump to the ledge on your right. From here jump to the blue-green roof and get the magnum clips. Shoot a crocodile below, then climb up on one of the corner pieces and jump to the roof over the boulder ramp for SECRET #2, Uzi clips. Do a safety drop to the ramp and head for the cat statue. Do a safety drop to the green ledge and another to the floor. Enter the room with the tiled floor (ignore the sandy one; it's a trap with no exit and no goodies) and get the magnum clips, then turn and drop down the hole. Walk forward till Lara aims, then shoot two almost invisible panthers below. Walk forward a step and go left to an alcove to get some magnum clips, then back up and flip the switch (which opens a trap door in the main room to turn on the lights in here). Do a safety drop to the floor below and draw your guns, walking slowly forward till you hear a door open that releases two more panthers. Blast 'em. (Panthers' skill is that they move *fast* and are hard to keep track of. The shotgun will get them if you get close enough for three or four good shots.) Walk to the door they came out of and get a medipack. Return to the main room and climb up a grey block, then up to a rope bridge. Walk to the center column and shoot the two panthers that just came out of the other door. Walk around to the left side of the column, facing a cat statue, and jump over to it to reach SECRET #3, shotgun shells. Drop back to the floor and get the medipack in the other passage, then climb back up to the bridge and enter the lighted doorway next to it with guns drawn - - and blow up the cat-mummy that jumps you. Enter a sandy room and jump to the tunnel on your right and follow to the next room. Climb the pillar and take the Sapphire Key from the top. Proceed up the hill and enter the door, then jump across several small ledges to get some magnum clips. Jump to the ledge on your left, then climb up to the switch and use it. Jump back across the ledges to the entrance and do a safety drop to a long slope that just opened up below. (The sound you heard when you pulled the switch was a big pile of sand sifting down when the trapdoor opened.) You'll slide down for quite a distance, then you can walk up the slope on the right to a room with a lock where you can use the Sapphire Key to open the final door and EXIT this level.
