Tomb Raider Legacy

Secret of Babylon

"The Choice"
 
 

You play as Kraene. Walk to the pedestal with the Book of Death and grab it. A scene shows a door open. Go out of the room and continue through the hallway.

 

A cut scene shows a guard attacking. Remember, you don't have any weapons so don't waste any time and run! You can start running during the cut scene to save more time. The left side is a dead end so run to the right hallway and enter the other room at the end of it. There's another guard in this room. Quickly run to the far left corner of the room (the entrance is back), jump and grab the platform. Pull up. You may want to save your game here before proceeding.

 

Turn right and jump on the platform above fire and from there jump to the other platform on the other side. There's another guard in this room. Use either ladders and go up (backflip). Enter the room on the right side and pull the lever. Go back to the room with fire. The trapdoor is open now. Drop down and continue through the corridor.

 

You reach a room with a waterfall. There is a ledge in the corner of the room (opposite side of the waterfall, in front of the entrance). Jump and grab it, pull up and quickly jump to backflip and land on the other platform. Grab the pole and climb up. Jump to the other ledge with the closed door (you're back must face the direction you want to jump). Open the door. There's nothing in the next room for now. Go out of the room and face the opposite ledges above the waterfall (you may want to save here). Jump there and turn left. You need to reach the opening (duck) in the opposite wall. Use the next ledge to get closer to it. Jump to the same platform with the opening and duck.

 

The ceiling is not short so you can stand up. Look up and you will see an opening above. Jump and grab the ledge. Pull up and enter the room with the fountain. There's a vase on the right side. Go near it and jump (press Ctrl). Kraene grabs a door handle and opens it. Stand where you are and turn until you face the fountain. Look up. You must see an opening above. Jump, pull up and go there.

 

There's nothing in the room except for a switch. Push the switch and run to the closed door in the waterfall room (Don't forget to use the End key for saving more time). When you go back to there, one of the doors is open. Go through it (you may want to save your game since you most likely miss the jumps here!)

 

Run and jump to the ledge on the left. Turn right and jump to grab the rope (Press Alt and then Ctrl. Hold the Ctrl key). Don't go up the rope just turn until you face the switch. Swing (Press the sprint key / ) and when you're near the switch, jump and grab it. (Press Alt without releasing Ctrl).This opens a door below.

Jump and grab the rope again. This time turn until you see the vine. Swing, jump and grab the wall. Climb down. Before going through the door, go to the other side of the area and pick up the Small Medipack. Save your game.

 

Enter the room. A brief cut scene shows two ghosts approaching you from fire. The deal here is to get rid of them by drowning them in water. Quickly run to the right hallway, jump and grab the ceiling. Try to dodge them until you reach the pool. Dive in water. They follow you and die.

 

Come out of the water and go back to the main room. This time go to the other hallway and open the door to the lava room. There's a slip in front of you. Use it and jump to the other side (Don't jump too early). There's a hallway on the left. Follow it until you reach a ladder. Climb it up and walk to the other side of the room. Jump and grab the ledge of the opening, pull up.

Push the switch and then go to the other side of the room. There's a ledge on the left side (above lava). Run and jump to the ledge and then jump to the other opening (you may want to save your game).

 

Enter the next room. You can see a ramp on the left side. Walk to it but be cautious as there's a hidden boulder which will fall when you go halfway of the ramp. When you see it fall, quickly backflip and side jump to the right. This is the easiest and safest way for dodging it. Go up the ramp again and jump on the small platform in the middle of the room whilst dodging the other trap.

 

Kreane can climb the column so jump and grab it. Traverse to the right until you reach the other side of it, then climb up. Push the switch and climb back down. Backflip and you'll land on the platform (you can use the slope but it's a little dangerous). Go down and activate the switch to open door. Go up the stairs to reach the now familiar hallway!

 

Again, go back to the waterfall room and go to the room with the fountain using the same pattern. As you can see, the door is open.Walk to the room and open the opposite door. (Save your game) You have to pass the rotating blades. Try to jump pass them and get as less damage as you can. (Don’t continue if you got injured. Load your game because you have to pass these traps again in your return way!)

 

The next door opens automatically when you approach it. Enter the room and open the trapdoor on the left. Climb down and activate the switch, then climb back up and go back to the pool room from the same way.

 

There’s a lever on the other side of the pool. Go there and pull it. This releases a block. Climb on it then jump and grab the ledge. Pull up.

 

[Skip this step if you don’t want to get the Large Medipack]

Walk to the other side of the catwalk and hang from it (notice the door on the left). Release the edge and grab the switch. The switch opens the door to the secret (and releases a guard!). Climb back to the catwalk and run to the door on the left, dodging the guard’s attacks at the same time. Run until you reach the room with traps. Run past them and get the Large Medipack. Return back to the pool room.

***

There’s an open door in the wall. Jump and slide down. You drop in a room filled with water (Save your game before drowning!). Dive and swim through the small opening. Keep swimming until you reach the next area with four pools.

 

Get out of the water. Look around before proceeding. There’s a block in front of you. You can jump and grab it or you can use the wall and climb it until you reach the block. There’s a door on the left side of the courtyard. Two guards will appear if you approach it. Run to it to trigger the guards.

 

A) Quickly open the door and run to the next area. A brief cut scene shows the environment. Try to jump in the water to avoid the guards’ attack. They won’t follow you in the place.

Or

B) Run to the block and climb it. Usually the guards stick to the wall if you use the block! (good bug) so they won’t follow you to the next area. Climb down and go back to the closed door. Open it and continue through the hallway.

A brief cut scene shows the enviornment.

 

You have to reach to the highest platform. Go near the waterfall and jump to grab the wall behind it. Shimmy to left and pull up. From the platform with the fountain, jump to the opposite platform, then jump to the platform in the middle. Turn and jump on the ledge in the wall. From this ledge jump and grab the highest ledge in the middle of the courtyard. Pull up and jump to the other ledge (you may want to save your game).

 

Turn to face the ledge on the other side (between the slope and the wall). Run and jump diagonally then jump to grab the slope. Pull up and Jump to the other side .

 

Walk to the alcove on the right and pull the lever. For going down, grab the ledge of the platform. Try to be above the waterway. Release your grip and follow the same pattern until you reach the bottom. Go back to the courtayrd with four pools.

 

Jump to the far left pool (the door is behind you) and save your game. Dive in the canal and use the small space in the wall to swim to the other part. Keep swimming until you reach the other room. Get out of the water and walk to the middle of the room. Open the trapdoor and climb down. Pull the lever then climb back up and go back to the entrance. Save your game. Dive in the water and swim. The hard part is finding the small space from which you came in. Search the walls carefully. One of them is not a dead end! Get back to the area with four pools and save your game.

 

Climb the block then use the vine to climb the wall. Turn and jump to other ledge. Two bats will appear so quickly jump to the next ledge. Use the other ledges to reach the top of the door. Run and jump to grab the ledge above. Keep going until you reach the last ledge. Jump to grab the edge of the window and pull up. The bats are still following you so run to the other room. There’s a crawlspace in the throne room. Use it and enter the next room. Jump in the water and swim to the next area. Get out of the water and walk to the middle of the bridge. There’s a trapdoor in the ceiling. Jump, open it and go up.

 

Climb the ladder and backflip to land on the ledge. It will collapse so quickly backflip to land on the other ledge. Jump and grab the ceiling. Swing to the other side and drop down. Pull the lever (you may want to save your game).

Go to the left side of the slope and slid down. Side jump to right in mid air to avoid falling on the spikes. Go back down and walk to the now open door.

A cut scene shows the Cistern. Two bats will appear so quickly run and jump in water. They can’t come in water (thankfully!) so try to swim instead of running around. Swim to the other side of the pool, get out and dive in the other pool.

 

[Skip this part if you don’t want the Large Medipack]

Swim to the far right corner. There’s a switch on a column. Get out of the water, jump and grab the switch. It opens a door on the left side. Go there and use the lever. Pick up the Large Medipack then go back to the Cistern.

 

***

One of the right columns has a ladder (the entrance is in front of you). Run there and climb the ladder. Jump to the second balcony and pull the lever (Try to avoid the bats. The ‘End’ and ‘Sprint’ keys help a lot). Jump in water and swim to the other side. You can find another ladder there. Get out of the water and climb it quickly. Jump to the balcony and run to the chest. Open it. Kreane will pick up a Compass (You can’t use it in this level. It will be in the inventory of the next level).

 

Jump in the pool and swim to the hole in the wall. Continue swimming until you reach the next area. Get out of the pool with lily pads. Save your game. Enter the courtyard. Five guards will attack you so start running. There are two switched; One switch opens the gate and one opens the trapdoor to the next secret.

 

[Skip this part if you don’t want the Large Medipack]

Run to the switch of the trapdoor (it’s on the wall near the trapdoor). Jump and activate it. Drop down (you may want to save your game). Get past the traps. Look at the symbols before proceeding. One looks like an eye and the other one looks like a skull. Avoid the skull ones and walk to the right corner and pick up the Large Medipack. Return back to from the same way.

 

***

Run to the gate and use the switch to open it. Quickly run to the now open gate (backflips and side jumps help). Jump and grab the lower part of the wall and exit the fortress (Save your game). Continue walking.

 

In the next cut scene, Gealen (Kraene’s father) talk to the guards leader and tells him to find the girl and get back the book.

 

Walk to the cart and push it to the square with the eye symbol. The guard is in the left part so don’t go there. Instead, go to the right side and jump to grab the hole in the wall. Crawl, grab the edge and release your grip to end this level.
