Story:
The snow started to fall in the beginning of December. At first everybody was happy about it. But the winter went darker and colder. As even the sun did not rise anymore on Christmas morning, people began to worry. A fairy who is a guard in the Snowqueen's palace told Lara in a dream that one unicorn is missing in the woods, and that might be the reason for this unusually cold winter. Maybe the Snowqueen was fed up with ruling just for one quarter of the year. But since she is winter herself, nobody can or should kill her...
Walkthrough:
A RIDE WITH THE SNOWMOBILE
Notice the Snowmobile Key already in your inventory
when you start the level. Mount the snowmobile and drive SE to the next cave.
Continue and use the E ramp to jump the pit, drive S and watch out for rolling
snowballs. At the end turn SW and jump the pit again to its W side.
Watch out for falling ice blocks and dismount
to get SECRET#1: an ice rose on a ledge to the
left N. When you pick it up some small spiders
appear (and the mother too) so, quickly mount
the snowmobile again and follow the path breaking an ice wall, watching out
for more falling ice blocks and killing another
big spider with the vehicle. Continue driving
S till the camera view changes. Then go W till the camera view is restored
and you are over a frozen blue small lake. Dismount and go back E running
near the N side of the path you came from (camera view changes again) and
when you are near the tree, turn right to discover SECRET#2:
another ice rose. Go back to the snowmobile and use it to drive through the
high N opening arriving to a big and deep icy canyon. Continue driving N over
the narrow ledge and slowly; at the end you'll break an icy stone and a snowball
will fall, breaking the ice at the bottom of a hole down in the canyon. Continue
driving N and park the snowmobile over the frozen blue lake in front of the
castle.
THE PALACE KEY
Return to the canyon and find the small opening in the floor SW, near where
you broken the icy stone with the snowmobile. Use the ladder to safety descend
to the bottom of a small cave. There you'll find the Palace
Key. Now, approach to the border of the pit and face SE; you'll see
a flat ledge in the fog. Jump there, drop, grab the edge (finally you get
rid of those nasty spiders) and shimmy right to find SECRET#3:
another icy rose. Return to the small cave where the key was the same way
you came. Once in the cave, take a running jump to grab the tall E climbable
column; shimmy around two corners and climb to the top; climb the W ledge
and turn right; you can see some trees to the S. Go there and near the last
tree find SECRET#4: anothere icy rose. Make your
way to follow the path to the N to return to the place where you left the
snowmobile. Continue N (the snowmobile is useless now) and use the key to
open the double doors of the castle.
THE FIRST CELAENO
Enter and at the end of the corridor go right and right again to a courtyard.
Use the timed switch in W wall to open the doors in the W side of the previous
corridor; quickly go there. Continue and enter into a big room with pillars;
explore the area and shoot two big spiders. There's
a ladder in a pillar in the S side of this room; climb it and when you are
in the last step, jump back with a roll to grab the edge of the N ledge behind.
Runjump all the central ledges to the last N pillar to find a switch; this
switch opens a door below in the SW corner of the room so, pull it. From here,
if you jump to the ledge in E wall you'll find a button. It's timed, and it
raises a trapdoor in the far S side of the room to can reach the high SE opening,
but it's not necessary 'cause you can reach that SE opening without that trapdoor
so, it's your choice to use this button. Anyway, the purpose of the builders
is to use this button so, press it, turn left and run and jump all the ledges
in the E side of this room to finally land onto the raised trapdoor and jump
to that SE high opening. (If you don't want to do this timed run, you can
go to the last SE ledge and from the very S corner take a running jump with
a left curve to the right side of the S opening). Go W and use the ladder
to go down. Jump onto the snowflake tiles in a S direction to finally find
another ladder in the SE corner of this room and reach the high ledge with
the pedestal and get the first Celaeno. Now run
off the ledge in a NE direction to land over the snowflake tile below. Continue
using the next snowflake tiles and when you are on the tile near the ledge
with the ladder, take a running jump NE to find SECRET#5:
another icy rose. Use the white tiles to return to the ladder (first a running
jump with a hard right curve to grab the edge of the SW tile), climb up and
safety descend to the bottom of the big room using the S ladder.
A BUNCH OF KEYS
Turn left and go through the open door in W wall you've opened before with
the high switch. Safety drop in a W corridor and go S. At the junction turn
left, shoot the vases and use the button in the corner. Now go E up the steps
and in this new room shoot the fairy and climb
the SW block you've raised when pressing the button. Use the narrow ledges
around the room doing running jumps with curves to reach the ladder in E wall.
Climb up the ladder and get the Golden Gem from
the pedestal in SW corner. A bunch of small snowflakes
attack (locusts) so run over the ledges around the room till they disappear.
Safety drop to ground floor, go down the stairs and straight passing the button
into the W room. Use the gem to open the courtains and enter in an outside
couryard. Don't jump into the water, it's very cold and you'll lose health
each second you are in. Go to the left arch behind the tree and get a Bunch
of Keys from a pedestal in a SE niche. Use Ctrl to open the double
doors behind the pedestal and climb the ladder to get rid of the small
spiders and return to the entrance of the castle (if the doors are
closed you only have to approach to the switch left of the doors).
THE PIPES PUZZLE
Go E and left into another courtyard; shoot the vases in NW corner to find
flares and use the timed switch in E wall to open the big doors in the E side
of the corridor. In this new outside courtyard go all the way N and climb
the ladder there. Advance and go right up a ramp; you arrive at the pipes
room. Climb the left blocks and walk a bit N till the camera view changes.
You must move the moveable pieces with the pipes so the water flows to the
N room behind the glass. Do it so: pull the two most N moveable pieces two
tiles E so they're connected with the N pipe; now go W behid this pieces and
move the piece in the corner of the central structure one tile N to connect
it with the other two pieces; now move the piece which was to the left of
this third piece you moved one tile N; finally jump over the solid E block
and from the other side move the last logic piece one tile W to connect the
other pieces with the S pipe: a sound of water flowing is heared. The N room
behind the glass is filled now and the water filled the adjacent room too.
Go there through the opening in W wall, jump into the cold waters and quickly
pick up the second Celaeno from the sloped ledge
between the spikes. Go out of the water and SE to shoot the vases and get
the small medipack. Use the nearby SE opening
to return to the outside courtyard.
THE THIRD CELAENO
Go directly S and use your bunch of keys in the keyhole left of the square
door. Go dowm the ramp to a room where the Unicorn is locked and a fairy awaits
you. Follow the fairy and she will open the doors of the main hall of the
castle.. Enter and shoot a fairy. Jump into the
central pool and dive fast through the W underwater passage, always to the
left to find SECRET#6: another ice rose. It seems
that the water is not so cold here, but when you abandone this tile the health
descend again so quickly go all the way to the W to pick up the third Celaeno
and return to the central pool using medipacks if necessary.
THE FOURTH CELAENO
Now go through the N passage and shoot the vases in the corner to find a small
medipack. Continue and in the first room to your left there is the
last Celaeno you need and another ice rose, but you still can't pick them
up (notice the trapdoors in the holes). Drop either hole and follow the E
crawlspace, climb the ladder at the end (hard to grab, I had to move Lara
diagonally with sidesteps left or right till I got it) and in the new room
there is a wall switch (timed) right near the entrance and three closed doors
in W wall. Pull the switch and run to the SW door first; shoot the vases to
find SECRET#7: another ice rose. Return to the
switch. This time pull the switch and go to the NW door, run like fool down
the stairs and right and right again into the room with the ice rose and the
Celaeno to pick up the fourth Celaeno before
the trapdoors fall. If you want SECRET#8: another
ice rose, you must go again through the E crawlspace, climb the ladder again,
use the switch and do again the timed run down the stairs and to the last
set of trapdoors before they fall. It's more difficult but possible. Anyway
go out of this room with the timed trapdoors and go left; there are two vases
in an alcove to your left; move this vases over the central tiles with the
snowflake symbols and pick up SECRET#9: another
ice rose which have magically appeared in the pedestal at the W end of the
corridor. Now return to the main hall with the pool in its center.
LIBERATING THE UNICORN
Place the four Celaenos in its receptacles to open the big W doors. Enter
and spot the Snowqueen waiting for you in the
next room. In this room there is a central mound surrounded with blue tiles.
When you step over the blue tiles in N, S, E and W sides of the mound a bunch
of small snowflakes are released. What I did was trigger the snowflakes in
one of the sides of the mound and turn back and run and jump around the room
till they disappeared; then enter into the mound from the same side you triggered
the snowflakes and shoot the Snowqueen (she acts like a demigod) till eventually
she gets paralyzed and drop the Blue Gem. Pick
up the gem and use the switch in N wall to open the exit doors. Return to
the courtyard with the pool and use the switch in E wall to open the doors.
Go outside and SE to the room where the Unicorn
is locked. Use the gem in its receptacle and watch the cutscene. The unicorn
is free now and your mission is complete. Go back outside to finish this marvellous
level.
