| Finding
the Race Track Key
The training level begins
in Lara's bedroom. In the closet next to the bed, you'll find some
flares. Once you've got them, exit the
bedroom and go to the left along the mezzanine, past the stairs down.
Use the button to open the door to the attic now; you'll be coming
down this way. Continue to the music room. Go through it to the left
into the library. Find the loose book in the first bookcase and pull
it to turn off the fireplace. (See this screenshot
if you need help.) Go into the fireplace and climb up the left wall
into a secret passageway. Follow it to a room with a switch
and a couple of wooden crates. Pull the crate on the floor
once. Behind it are some more flares.
Climb up and pull the
box in the doorway twice. Go around it to the right and push it once
to open up the doorway into the attic. Now you've got a clear path
downstairs. If that pesky butler gets in your way, just lead him to
the refrigerator downstairs in the kitchen and lock him inside for
the duration. (See screenshot.)
The switch opens the
basement door, which is downstairs just off the main hall on the way
into the gym (see screenshot).
The door is timed to close after a little while, so you'll have to
hustle. Light a flare if you need it to navigate the dark attic. Pull
the switch, press the Look key to get Lara's perspective back, then
roll. Run along the ledge, go right through the doorway, across the
attic, and make a hard left into the stairwell and down. Use the Sprint
key on the straight-aways but release it, if necessary, to navigate
the curves. Once you make the right out the attic doorway, immediately
jump to clear the railing. Aim for the middle of the stairs so you
can side flip to the right over the banister. That'll save you running
down the staircase. Roll and sprint through the open door. Now catch
your breath on the way down to the basement.
Continue on to the huge
fish tank. Note the position of the RACETRACK
KEY on the bottom of the tank just beyond the leopard print
chaise longue. Pull/push the crate under the opening in the ceiling
and climb up into it. Follow the passageway to the opening above the
water. Jump in and swim around to pick up the key. Return to the opening
and climb out. Now take your prize out to the garden for some well-won
joyriding.
(NOTE: To get off
the quad bike when you're finished, press Roll + Left/Right.)
Getting
the Quad Bike out of the Track Area
After many months of
trying, someone's finally figured out how to get the quad bike out
of the race course and drive it around the grounds. I haven't done
it yet, but if you want more info, visit tombraiders.com.
Lara's
Treasure Room
Lara's new treasure
room is located off the main hall, on the right as you enter through
the front door. The switch that opens
it is in a closet on the opposite side of the main hall. To get in,
first go to the swimming pool. Press the button behind the diving
board (see screenshot)
to open the switch closet. There's no hurry getting there; this door
isn't timed. This next part is, however: Throw the switch, roll,
take a running jump, then sprint toward the door, pressing Jump to
somersault through as it comes down (see screenshot).
When you've warmed up
sufficiently, you can also compete for the best time in the assault
course and racetrack—try to beat your friends' times or simply best
your own record. Now you're ready to tackle the real adventure!
(NOTE: To get from
the training level into the actual game, approach the front gates
to start a new game. Or, escape to the menu ring, choose the passport
and flip the pages to select a new game or load a saved game.)
