Introduction:
When Lara gets back to her London home after a successful adventure, she reads an interesting article in the Times: The famous Egypt-Researcher, Robert Bauval, thinks that in the valley of the kings the golden mask of the Pharaoh "Echnaton" must still be hidden. Echnaton was king of Egypt during the 18th Dynasty, and governed from 1364 to 1347 BC. His actual name was Amenophis IV. This golden mask has never been found, and as she reads on, Lara gets this gleam in her eye.....
Walkthrough:
At the end of the slope jump to avoid death. In the small gap find the vase,
shoot it into pieces to open the door. Go up the block at the right, jump
from there to the ceiling. Monkey-swing to the corner, then turn left to the
wall; you need to be in the middle of the texture, before the wall. Release
ctrl and quickly draw pistols and shoot, while falling. If you could shoot
the vase in the crawlspace, the way forward is
opened. In the next hall there is a waterfall ahead, and a lever on this side.
But a boulder is coming, so jump into the water behind the lever (to escape
the currents). Go back to the lever, pull it; it's timed, but don't go toward
the
open door, first there is another opened in the water. Get the scroll.
At the ramification swim left, so at one place you can get some air, then
collect the lasersight. At the same place if
you able enough, you can get a small medi. Swim back to the ramification and
go up now. From the middle of the ladder take a backflip with turning around
(+end) and get the crowbaar. Then climb up, slide
down, hurry to the waterfall and jump down before being flattened. There is
a gap at the end of the waterfall; inside is the first
blue crystal, it is a secret. Collecting it doesn't realy matter in
order to accomplish the level, but collect it anyway just for the sake of
fullness. There are three of them in total. Pull the lever again and hurry
toward the door, because it will close soon. If you run beside the wall, and
jump in good time, you will succeed. Pull a lever in front, from a standing
jump, then crawl back, (keep in mind that Lara can draw pistols while duck)
don't jump, just run, started from the very wall, so you can get back where
you were before of the jump. Now climb up into a new room. Notice the torch,
but you'll need it only at the end. Get the key for
the mechanical scarab from the water, climb up the ladder, then watch
out for the firesplitter when climb down, and if you climb to the right at
the middle of the ladder you can get the second blue
diamond. The third will be at very end of the level. Return to the
previous room, put the scroll to its place, behind the newly opened door you
can see the frames of two stars, still need to be obtained. Climb up the ladder,
jump carefully to avoid the firesplitter, and get to the top of the column.
From its ledge take a standing jump, then grab the ledge. After drawing up,
take a turn around back flip, and grab ledge again. So on, on the way down,
in the last jump draw pistols and shoot the wooden crate, that will open the
flap door downstairs. In the lava room before jump get the shotgun
from up there. You'll need it. Jump onto the block without ctrl, then go for
the lever up there, which opens a platform, through it you arrive into a new
corridor, but hurry because it's timed. There is a lever on the wall, but
ignore it for the moment, go to the ladder at the left, upstairs in an alcove
pull the lever, which releases a rope in one of the previous rooms. Move along,
jump the pit, but you need to retreat twice, because of the boulders. Climb
up where they came from, and get the Golden Scarab,
which combined with its key, you can use on the scarab figured floor, a bit
later. Force the first star out of the wall,
then return to the left alone lever at the bottom of the ladder. Pull it,
turn right, and hurry through the timed door, and while running let Lara drop
onto the platform, right from the door. Reach the rope, jump with it. With
the first ladder you can acquire some ammo, but the one in the end of the
corridor is matters. Climb to the middle of it, then backflip, behind the
large medipack push the block. Pull the lever, then push the block again to
get the revolver. Go back to the ladder, pull
the other lever up there, then at the moveable block, at the lever climb up
the ladder. Make it through the blades and spikes in the lava room, but before
that, shoot the vase in an alcove at the left with the revolver, combined
with lasersight. Next, do some jumping lessons on the other side of the room.
When jump forward, push the left or right arrows, so you can advance. In the
next room, shoot the vases, except the first from left on the right side,
otherwise you'll have some spiky experience. A rope is been dropped. Use it
for both sides, get the pickups, now you can shoot that vase, it opens the
door in front. The door leads to a huge, many floors high hall. There is a
lever on the wall at right, it lifts up a block behind you, which if you are
fast enough takes you to the first floor. Behind the gap at the right there
is a lever, drops a rope, which can be used for the climbable column. Upstairs
kill the skeletons, shooting them into the abyss with the shotgun. Where they
came from, at one place there are some ammo, in the other you can go up. Move
the statues to their places, then go up the stairs. On the first step turn
left, up in the gap push the handle. Now go to the top of the stairs, kill
the demigod, and from his nest get the second gold star,
and of course the Golden Mask too from the platform,
that is why you are here in the first place. Go down the stairs, push the
handle there. Slide down the slope, jump twice, before the spikes to get down
safely. Now you can see what the boulder had done, as it was in the cut scene.
Throw the torch through that opening. Put the stars to their places, and go
through the door. Climb up the ladder, then go right, in the first alcove
right again, and downstairs at the mummy you can get the torch. Go back, then
slide down into the first room with it. Light it up, and the other two with
it to open the door. Crawl through the gap and turn right. You could finish
the level this way if you wouldn't break for perfectness, getting the third
blue crystal from a gap, opens from the corridor. Go back to the ramification,
and to the other direction, on a column take the crystals to their places,
and through a door just opened, to the surface. Run toward the jeep, the level
is completed.
