Follow
the trail at the start of this level. Take care of the Eagle
as you proceed down the trail and down the slope to a large
area with even larger snow boulders ready to crush you. Jump
past the first ones then run to the left passage to avoid the
rest. Jump through the ice then as
you hit the icy slope, jump again to land on the path to the
right. Follow the path to a large canyon with a hut and a snowmobile.
Kill the attacking eagle before proceeding.
Turn and hang down and drop to start sliding down a slope. Grab
again so you hang from the bottom edge then drop again to the
cave entrance. If you miss the ledge you can always try again
by climbing the ladder then jumping back to the slope to slide
and repeat the grab and drop. Follow the cave until you can
jump in the pool and cross over. As you exit the water all those
sharp icicles will fall on you. Drop back into the water to
avoid them before climbing out onto the textured surface and
up to a hole in the wall.
Take the left passage from here until you arrive back outside
where you can do a running jump to the next ledge followed by
another running jump to the ledge by the hut. Nab the medkit
then climb up the cliff to the hut. Kill the two mercenaries
who are guarding the snowmobile then go get Secret #1; the Stone
Dragon from the ledge to the right of the cave entrance.
Now you can proceed down the passage and kill any enemies you
encounter. When you arrive in the open area with the ramps you
need to perform a series of jump until you are ready to enter
the cave with the large stone blocking the way. Jump over the
wall on the first ramp.
When you reach the long ramp leading towards the wall, you will
want to kill the leopards lurking to the left. Jump the gap
and hop on the snowmobile and jump it across staying to the
left. Another jump should take you to a fork in the trail where
you can park and proceed on foot.
Head to the right and grab the grenades before climbing the
ladder to flip a switch which opens the gate up ahead. Kill
some more mercenaries before getting back on the snowmobile
and heading through the gate you just opened killing another
mercenary along the way. Leave the snowmobile behind in the
large cave, and kill two more advancing mercenaries. Head out
onto the ledge and do a running jump over to the ledge on the
right to obtain Secret #2; the Jade Dragon, then return to the
snowmobile. Two leopards will be milling around the area so
kill them before making the big jump. Continue left while avoiding
more of those giant snowballs until you reach a cave. Dismount
and enter the cave.
A short exploration of the caves reveals a passage to the left
as well as a switch by a gate and a ladder. The ladder is what's
important now, so return outside and head for the ladder. Jump
over it then grab the ledge as you slide back down. Now climb
down to the cave and get the Drawbridge Key and continue on
until you reach the ice walls. Kill the mercenary behind the
ice then head for the hole to get some grenades and kill three
leopards. Return to the ladder area by doing a running jump
then a grab and pull up to get back to the snowmobile.
Now you can use the key to lower the bridge so you can ride
over to the warning sign. Dislodge all those giant snowballs
before attempting to ride across this area. At the bottom of
the avalanche is the Hut Key which is guarded by a mercenary
riding a snowmobile equipped
with machine guns - not a factory option! Kill him from relative
safety of the area to the left of the key. You can take his
snowmobile when he is dead but it won't make the jump you need
to make on your way back so you may as well leave it behind.
Take the Hut Key and begin the long trek back to the hut.
Back at the hut, enter to find the M-16, ammo for the Uzi and
some medkits. Flip the switch then dash for the door to kill
the advancing enemy. Keep above the enemy and pick them off
one at a time. When the battle is over you should have a new
snowmobile complete with machine guns. A nearby ladder leads
down to Secret #3; the Gold
Dragon. Avoid the rolling snowball by jumping left before claiming
your prize. Climb back up and get on your new snowmobile.
Two more guys on snowmobiles are waiting up ahead. Let them
come to you and take them on one at a time. When they are dead,
continue to the other end of the valley and push the stone to
continue. At the edge of the abyss you can shoot the guy below
to your right. Now ride your snowmobile right off the cliff
and watch as Lara leaps to safety as the snowmobile is consumed
in a fireball below. Pull up onto the ledge and take the trail
to exit this level.
