Tomb Raider II Survival GuideWalk-through
IntroductionBefore You Go...Guns and Bad GuysWalk-throughCheatsContents

The Great Wall ...continued

Guardhouse Key, Rusty Key, and Beyond
Draw your guns as you pass through the door and get ready to down some Ravens. (We recommend you run out, get Lara to aim, then jump back as you fire, such that you use the doorway for cover - and force the birds through the bottleneck.) Once the coast is clear, you'll find that your progress is thwarted by a locked door at the far end of this deck. Time to get the Guardhouse Key. Run through the obvious hole in the wall and slide into the water. Stay submerged and search for the entrance to a longish passage - the key is resting at the far end.

Hover over the key and hit the grab button repeatedly to center Lara - she'll take it when she's in position.

As soon as you resurface, listen for the sounds of an angry cat - that's right, getting the key released a tiger. Unfortunately, you can't down the cat from the water - you'll have to get out. Keep your distance, and good luck. Return to the wall - specifically to a mound to the right of the ramp you slid down. Pull yourself up and use that key.

Draw your pistols when you enter, watching out for spiders. If you have trouble with them in close quarters, draw them out into the open and shoot them from a distance. Again, the key for getting through relatively unharmed is to use the environment to your advantage.

After sweeping away the spiders on the ground floor, climb the ladder to the platform above, obliterate the remaining opposition, and grab the Rusty Key. The Rusty Key Lock is directly below.

After you've silenced your eight-legged foes past the Rusty Key door, push or pull the block aside. Simply approach the center of any side, then hit your action button. If Lara begins to flex, you'll know she can move it. With the action button down, use the up/down arrows to push and pull, respectively. Lara does the rest.

Screenshot ScreenshotShe's stronger than she looks - a lot stronger.

With the block out of the way, get ready for the first real test of your skills. You can leave your guns holstered until after you've broken through to the other side. You'll know it when you're there.

It begins innocently enough by a slide down a ramp. Drop into the water and immediately turn left. Approach the wall, jump up, then grab the ledge. Hand over hand down the crack in the wall, and drop off only when you've reached the end. Climb out and save your game. Now the fun really begins.
