2.2: The Coliseum
Follow
the hallway first to your left and then to your right, where you have to
immediately stop in the hallway. 2 rats will attack you.
Jump backward and shoot them. Then proceed to the CHECKPOINT.
Enter the room full of rubbish in front of you. Turn left and jump to the
slightly sloping rock and then to the higher platform in front of you.
From the rock to the platform
Pull
up, turn around and notice a column with a ledge. Left of the second column
something shiny is lying there. Jump to the ledge and pick up a Small Medipack.
Jump from here
Turn left facing the ledge above the columns and notice a rat sitting there. Aim at it and shoot it.
Aim and shoot the rat from here
Jump
down to the previous ledge and from there to the opposite ledge in the corner.
From there jump slightly to your right to the ledge above the columns.
Jump from this point to the ledge above the columns
Pull
up and at the end of the ledge you can jump down to a lower ledge in the corner.
Jump from this point to the lower ledge
Walk
to the right end of the ledge and drop down to a small square ledge above the
water level of a pool. Jump over the pool to the opposite side and climb the
next ledge. Pull up and collect a pack of 8 Shotgun Shells (your can only take
it when the number of Shells in your inventory is 32 tops).
Shotgun Ammo
Jump
down to the lower ledge again and observe the pool. On your right side there is
some kind of alcove in the wall. Dive in and float in this niche. Then position
the camera behind your back so that you are facing the opposite wall.
Position yourself in this alcove in the water
Dive all the way down and swim straight, turn right and go through an arch above a tumbled rock, turn left and immediately swim upward to the air bubble inside a cave.
Swim through the
arch
At this point immediately swim upwards
See the air bubble above you
Take a breath
From
the surface you can see three underwater tunnels. The last figure shows the
tunnel you will have to follow next. It is a half circle with a stone plate on
the bottom and the opening is narrow.
Dive through the tunnel, go straight, then right until you find an opening.
Right after the opening swim to the surface of a pool in the middle of a room.
CHECKPOINT.
Through the opening to the surface in a room
You
will already notice a rat sitting in there. Pull up and two rats and two bats
will simultaneously attack. Show no mercy with your Dual Pistols. Now the room
is clear, so walk around and explore.
There are two large metal cages in the room with skeletons inside. Brrr... must
have been a horrible starvation death in there. Climb the small third cage and
face a narrow ledge on the opposite wall. Jump to it, shimmy right and do a
lateral jump to the narrow ledge on your right in the corner. Shimmy around the
corner and side jump to the higher narrow ledge on your right. Shimmy right and
side jump to one of the higher cages on your right where you can collect a Large
Medipack.
How to reach the larger cage from the lower cage
From
the corner you have a good view over the room with the semi-circular pool and
the other large cage and the small cage. You will notice what looks like a
“chimney” above the pool and on the left of it there is another narrow
ledge. Also notice the columns on either side of the pool.
Observe the room from this corner
Jump
down to the floor and jump to the small cage and again to the opposite narrow
ledge. Shimmy left and side jump to the narrow ledge on the “chimney”.
Now you’re going to the left side
Shimmy
all the way around to the other side of the “chimney” and line Lara up with
the column behind her. Jump backward to the column and grab it.
First to the ledge, next to the column
Turn
Lara’s back to the second large cage and jump backward to it. From one of the
corners take a running jump over the left open part of the opposite fence and
end up on a crate on the other side.
Run and jump from this corner and end up on the other side
The
second (smaller) crate is of no importance so jump down and go to a ramp going
up on your left. Turn left and right to your next CHECKPOINT.
The entrance to the zigzag ramp
When
you’re entering the Coliseum a cut scene will start showing a huge Gorilla
throwing a rock at Lara.
This fellow doesn’t look very
friendly
After
the scene two giant Gorillas will attack Lara. Take your Shotgun and keep
running backwards following the Arena’s circular wall while shooting at them.
Be careful when they throw boulders that may hurt you.
Keep shooting while running backwards
It’s
not that difficult though and when they’re both dead you may have lost some of
your Stamina. Look at the Temple
with a statue of the Goddess Pallas Athena with a closed gate on each side.
Remember this Temple
Run
around in the Arena to find some Shotgun Ammo on the opposite side of the small
ramp.
Climb this short ramp and jump to the outer ring of the Amphitheatre and turn
right.
Better pick up
the pace! (I
think the Frog is saying that).
At
the end of the ring you’ll find more Shotgun Ammo.
Shotgun Ammo in the Arena and on the outer ring
Between
the rows of seats in the Amphitheatre there are aisles going up (for the Ice
venders of the old days I presume). Take the middle one and at the top 2 bats
will attack that you can shoot. This way you may keep in shape.
Turn left and notice a huge column with crevices. Run over an upper seat to the
column and go stand in its shade.
Jump to the lowest crevice.
Jump from this point to the lowest crevice
Shimmy
all the way to the left where you can vault up to a higher crevice.
Notice the rock with a flat top on your left. Shimmy left and jump to the top.
Jump to the opposite ledge and pull up. Find a Small Medipack on this ledge.
Column – Flat top edge - Ledge
On the other side there is a short ramp where you can slide down to a small area with some more rows of seats. Jump to the ledge where you see a ramp on your left. Face the flat rock at the end of the ramp. Slide down and jump to the rock. If you miss, no problem, climb up again and slide down again. Once you’re on the rock you’re overlooking the Arena from the top.
Jump from the ramp to the flat top of the next rock
High
up on your left you’ll notice a golden ring. Remember that ring for grappling
later on.
Turn right and jump to the rooftop’s balcony of Pallas Athena’s Temple. Go inside and turn left. On the right wall you’ll see a keyhole next to a
grilled gate but you will have to find the key first in order to open the gate.
Jump to the rooftop from this point and find the keyhole inside
Turn around and walk outside to the balcony where you will see a lever. Pull the lever and watch the gate on the right of the statue underneath Lara pulling up. Listen to that music! Almost like Carmina Burana... CHECKPOINT.
The lever triggers the right gate
Return
to the corner of the rooftop’s balcony you just jumped to and drop to the
Amphitheatre’s ring.
Left of you is that small slope, now keep that in mind.
Drop from this point and notice the slope
Jump
into the Arena and immediately run to the slope and jump to the ring.
Two Lions and two Gorillas will emerge from the gate you just have opened. From
here you can shoot one or more animals but not all (use the Dual Pistols).
You’ll have to run up and down to the ring and shoot them one by one. Often
when a Gorilla is shot on time he’ll come closer so you can keep shooting at
him until he’s gone. The Lions will hide close to the ring.
Eventually you’ll get all 4 of them from here if you run around and shoot
whenever the target ring turns red.
Run around the ring and shoot them as much as you can.
You can shoot these predators from positions on the ring
When
all 4 are dead jump down into the Arena and enter the opened door. Go inside and
follow the zigzag gangway all the way down until you reach a subterranean room.
There are some more metal cages in this room. On top of the left one you’ll
see some shiny object but it is too high to reach.
Turn around and find some Shotgun Ammo in the corner. Jump over the pile of
plates and rocks into the second part of the room where you will see three
cages: two large ones and one small cage. The left of the large cages is open
and has a small black cage on top that holds a golden ring. Use the grapple to
pull it down. Run behind the fallen cage and push it up the sloping plate all
the way to the first part of the room.
Maneuver the black cage onto the slope and push it off
Push
the cage under the large cage with the shiny object. Jump up from the black cage
to the large cage and collect the object. You’ve found the Balcony Key.
CHECKPOINT.
Jump up and collect the Balcony Key
Return
up the zigzag ramp again to the Arena. When you near the door this wild music
will announce something. Listen carefully and hear the sound of Lions. Run into
the Arena and avoid their attacks by running/rolling to the small slope from
where you can jump to the Amphitheatre’s ring again. So you just ignore these
damned two Lions. Go all the way up to the
The gate on the left will now rise.
The Key opens the gate
Go
inside and climb the ladder on your left all the way to the top (to climb faster
repeatedly press B1). CHECKPOINT. You’re under the roof of the Temple
now and light is coming in from a hole on the top of the roof.
From the edge of the floor you can see the Arena.
This part is a real challenge because there won’t be any checkpoints
for a long time and all the moves that will follow are very tricky one by one.
If you fail one of them you’ll have to start again from this Checkpoint.
Walk
to the right end and watch 2 bats flying at Lara. A few shots will deliver you
from these pests.
Now run to the other end (to the left of the ladder entrance) and jump to the
flat protruding rock. When you’re hanging from the ledge notice a Small
Medipack lying on top of a flat rock underneath you.
Jump from this point and notice the Medipack
Pull
up and walk to the other end where you see a golden grapple ring. But leave that
for the time being because you must go after that Medipack down below. Hang down
from this ledge and drop down to the flat rock with the Medipack and collect it.
Hang down from the ledge and drop down collecting the Medipack
You
can’t jump to the Temple’s balcony from this rock (too far away) so walk in
the direction of the flat rock in front of the Temple and you’ll drop from the
edge and slide down to some rows of seats (if you jump from here to the rock
chances are that you will end up dropping dead).
Walk in this direction
Climb
up a few steps and repeat the sequence with the small slope to reach the Temple’s
rooftop. Climb the ladder again and stand by the corner of the ledge you
just dropped from to collect that Small Medipack.
This time grapple jump using the golden ring to reach the opposite protruding
ledge. Under that ledge you will notice part of the golden grapple ring I
mentioned before. Face Lara slightly left to the right corner of the next ledge
and stand near the corner of this ledge.
Start your grapple jump facing the corner of the opposite ledge
Pull
up and stand in the left corner of this new ledge and observe the opposite ledge
with the Medipack on top. There is a curving narrow ledge underneath. Jump to
this ledge while holding B4 and you will end up on one hand. Immediately press
B1 to get full support. Shimmy right and vault up to the higher ledge, pull up
(shimmy a little bit to the right) and pull up in order to collect the Small
Medipack.
When jumping from this point
hold B4
Turn
around and notice a column with a crevice. Left of the column something shiny is
lying on a ledge.
Jump to the crevice in the column, shimmy around to the left and side jump to
the ledge.
Ledge – Column - Ledge
Pull
up and take the Dual 50 Caliber Pistols of which you already found so much Ammo.
This gun can only carry 150 Shells tops in your Inventory.
You’ve found the Dual 50 Caliber Pistols
Slowly
walk to the ledge and hang from it again. Shimmy left until you are hanging
right above the lower grapple ring (repeatedly press B1 to shimmy faster).
Shimmy left to the lower grapple ring
Now
this is a VERY tricky move: let go and when you see the blue grapple sign
appearing with the arrow pointing upwards immediately press B2 to grapple
on the ring and hang from your chain. If you miss this move (which is most
likely – I had to try it about 10 times) you will drop dead on the floor and
will have to restart all over again from the last Checkpoint on top of the
ladder. Turn around until you see an alcove containing an Artifact.
Hang from your grapple chain and turn right to the alcove
Lower yourself to get a higher reach when you start swinging. When at the highest point near the alcove press B4 to jump to its edge. Pull up and Lara will crouch, now take the Artifact.
Reach the ledge and crawl to the Artifact
Return
at your ease to hang down again from the edge of the alcove. Notice you can
shimmy along a narrow ledge on your right. At the end vault up to the higher
narrow ledge and pull up. Now here’s a slope in front of you and a platform on
the opposite side.
Reach the slope
Turn
the camera behind Lara’s back. Step down and slide a bit from the slope and
then press B4 to jump to the opposite ledge. If you miss the thing it’s
starting over from the top of the ladder again! If you succeed Lara will hang
from the ledge. Pull up, turn right and notice the crevice in the column.
Slide from the slope and jump to the crevice
Shimmy
to the left. Vault up to the higher narrow ledge in the column – the top of
it. Shimmy to the left and jump backward to the flat top of the second column.
From here you’re overlooking the Temple
of
How to reach the flat top of the column
Once
on the lower ledge turn around and look at the balcony where the wealthy of
those days were sitting to watch the spectacle in the Arena (similar First Class
balconies still exist in our contemporary Arenas – called Football Stadiums
now). Jump into the First Class balcony. CHECKPOINT (finally!). Pick up the Dual
50 Caliber Pistols Ammo if you have less than 150 Shells in your Inventory.
Enjoy First Class view from the ancient days
Now
that we’re on the First Class balcony let’s have a look at the Arena like
the ancient Greek Aristocracy used to do. Nice view isn’t it? All you need is
money friends, in ancient
Turn
away from the Arena and run down the ramps. After the 2nd ramp you
can go left or right to the next descending ramp. Let’s follow the right one
first. This leads to a collapsed wall. Hmm... we’ll have to take the left
one.
When this ramp turns left there are stairs. Somewhere along the curve two bats
will attack. You know the location of Transylvania, don’t you? So send them C.O.D. in a coffin to this newest EU member.
You will enter a hallway with an armless statue at the end. That is when your
completion window will appear.
You’ve ended the Coliseum Sublevel
Now let's go to Sublevel 3: Midas’s Palace - Part 1, The Spear Room and the Column Room
