Pool entrance
Once the level begins, draw your weapons and go through the double doors that open in front of you. Stay sharp because four wolves immediately come toward you; two from the pool area to the left, one from the left corner and finally one from the right corner. To kill all of them effectively, focus on shooting one at a time, side-flipping and back-flipping to dodge any possible attack, If worse comes to worse, run to the pool area and drop in the pool; once the area is clear, pull up and continue to shoot the wolves, then rinse and repeat if they get near. When all of them are finally dead, go to the far right corner a single wolf came (if the double doors are to your back) from and follow the passage to reach a room with yet another wolf; kill it and then go through the far right corner, killing the three bats that are waiting in the passage. Continue until the end and then immediately draw your pistols and back flip; finish off the wolf that comes and then pick up the hidden Small Medpack in the green foliage up ahead.

Continue to follow the passage and kill the five bats are just ahead. Ascend the two stairs in the left corner and take an immediate left, killing two bats on your way.

The pool
You'll notice a room on the right with two openings; approach the right-hand opening but do not go through it just yet. Position Lara diagonally across from the wooden trough in the middle, and then quickly run to it and pull up onto the roof. Kill the bear that spawns below- when it's dead, grab the Small Medpack in the left corner of the roof and return to the pool.

There are two optional secrets you can collect, both of which require you to go down in the pool in the middle of the room. If you would like to skip these secrets, then skip down to the next section of the walkthrough ('Retrieving the silver key and idol').

Secret #1: Jump into the pool and swim down through the passage. Turn right at the intersection and check the back right-hand corner. There is a switch on the wall. Pull it and the trap door above will open. Swim up and you will emerge in a small room which houses the first secret: a Small Medpack. Pull the switch on the wall and you will open the door next to you, which leads to the main room again.

Secret #2: Jump into the pool again and swim to the right again, but this time go to the back left corner. There is a switch here, too. Pull it then backtrack towards the pool entrance and go straight on. Turn left and get out of the pool here. In the corner of this room is a door leading to a room which contains a Small Medpack and a Magnum Clip. Jump back into the pool and backtrack to the main room.

Retrieving the silver key and idol
At the edge of the pool room is a door. Next to it there is a switch. Pull it to open the door. Enter the room and ascend the stairs. At the top is a small jump. On the other side is some break-away floor. Quickly run across it and jump to the alcove on the opposite side of the room. There is a Large Medpack here. If you do not make the jump, simply pull the block on the floor out and climb it.

Push the block into the wall repeatedly until you emerge in a large room. Several bats will be lying in wait, so kill them with your pistols. At the back end of this room there are two alcoves, on either side of the room. The one on the left houses the Silver Key whereas the one on the right contains the Gold Idol. Grab them both.

Retreat into the room with the bats and climb the block here. For PlayStation players, there is a save crystal here. Push forward and kill the bat lying in wait. Also retrieve the Small Medpack. Jump down into the corridor here.
