The Great Wall ...continued

Indianaette Jones, I Presume?
When you emerge from the water, it's an all-out run to the end, Raiders of the Lost Ark style. Dash down the corridor, hang a right and aim for the far-left corner. Leap over the bloody spikes. Jump a little before you think you might need to - this will land you on a ramp beyond the spikes, thus ensuring a damage-free fall. Turn left as soon as you can, and run for the opening in the middle of the wall. Don't stop moving until you're a few steps past the spike walls. This is a good place to save your game.

Now get ready for some running jumps, the likes of which you'll see again. Again, jump a moment before you think you ought to, and you'll evade the blades. The second secret of this mission is dead ahead. You can't miss it.

Secret 2

Past the secret statuette, keep running until you hit the next slide. As soon as you hit the ground, use the circle button to turn around, such that your back is to the spiked wall. Run for the right corner and let the floor break away beneath you. Once you've fallen to safety, it's a good idea to save your game. Phew.

The rolling blades are deadly to the touch. Walk Lara up to the Medi Pack to pick it up. That's as close as you can get to those rolling wheels of death without dying. Draw your pistols after you dodge the wheels, and get ready to blast more spiders - especially the gang that attacks when you approach the zip line. And speaking of zip lines, why not take a thunderous side trip before you go? This one is worth the effort.

Lizard Attack!
Stand to the left of the zip line, turn around, and drop off the ledge with the grab button held down. Make sure you can see the flat platform below you before you release. Once you're safely down, jump up and grab the crack in the wall and shimmy right toward the cave. Follow the passage to the ladder. Take it up to return to the zip line; take it down to get to the third secret of this mission. It's a long way down, so take your time. Draw your guns as soon as you exit the passageway!

Dinosaur attack! Only a lot of distance and lead will see you through this alive. See Secret 3 for a simple trick that will get you through without a scratch - guaranteed.

Once the big guy is down, you can retrace your path to the ladder, and ultimately the zip line, or stick around for the third secret of this mission.

Secret 3

Back at the zip line, know that the end of the mission is just beyond - only a few cats stand in the way. We'll see you in Venice.
