THE
UNNAMED DAYS
As
always when you start or resume a Level a certain text will appear (while the
Game is loading in the background:
“My
Father’s photographs revealed the location of Thor’s Belt in Central America
and his Hammer between Greenland and
The screen you will see when starting up the
Level
When
first starting this Level you will be asked what kind of outfit you would like
for Lara? You have three choices: Jungle Heavy, Jungle Pants and Jungle shorts.
I’ve selected Jungle Heavy:
Select your outfit
Next
you will be asked what kind of second Weapon you would have ready to switch with
the regular Pistols. I selected the Submachine
Guns:
Select your second Weapon
You
will then see a rough landscape where Lara is arriving on a motor bike and then
you get the controls over Lara (see the Introduction for the Controls, but they
don’t work with a Gamepad: You have to use the Keypad – what a shame). The
screen will offer two controls (for more controls look at the Introduction).
Lara arrives on a motorcycle
Your Sublevel starts here
A
new Journal Entry has been unlocked and it’s a good idea to spend some time
reading it.
Drive
through the tunnel and smash a jar on your right containing Treasure 1/50 (you
can smash it with your bike).
Smash this jar
Find Treasure #1
Get
off the bike (that still works with B1), pick up the Treasure and take the bike
again with B1.
In
front of you is a pit behind a light colored beam in the middle of the path.
Align
with the beam and run over it while pressing B4 to jump over the pit.
On
the other side get off the bike. Run around and nearby find a brownish grey jar
containing Treasure #2.
Align with the beam and run over the pit
Get Treasure #2 out by breaking this jar
A
small drive on your bike will bring you to a
The ruin of a
Your attention is focused to this window
Continue straight (on foot), jump to a ledge and notice 2 jars of which one contains Treasure #3. You can jump up to the left and break the jar.
Get Treasure #3 out of one of these jars
Now you have to find your way to that window. Turn away from the jar to the right and find a square block. Jump up, pull up, turn right and notice a narrow ledge on a larger square pillar. Jump to the narrow ledge. Vault up to a higher narrow ledge.
Jump on top if this block
Jump to the narrow ledge on the higher pillar
Notice a higher narrow ledge
Jump up there
Shimmy left around the corner and prepare for a jump left to a wide narrow ledge on the opposite wall. Stand up there. Turn the camera and spot more narrow ledges above Lara.
Shimmy left around the corner and prepare a jump to the opposite wide
narrow ledge
Hang from the narrow ledge and stand up
More narrow ledges above Lara
Jump four times to higher narrow ledges (each time pressing B4). Shimmy all the way left and prepare for a jump to a left narrow ledge. Let go to the lower narrow ledge. Shimmy left to another narrow ledge and drop down to a larger ledge. Pull up and see a bizarre construction: a golden grapple ring and a stick in a floor rail.
On the highest narrow ledge shimmy left
Prepare a left jump
Drop down to the lower narrow ledge
Shimmy to the left narrow ledge
Drop down to lower ledge where you hang from
Pull up to the room you were directed to and see what is inside
Grapple
on the ring, slowly step backwards to hang from the edge and look how a door
will open on your right side, caused by the mechanism in the rail.
Hang
all the way down and swing right-left right for momentum. You have to find the
correct height to land on the ledge with the open door and that will happen
automatically. So go up in little steps and keep trying until you land hanging
from the edge. The correct position to start swinging is from the second stone
above the ledge’s extension to the left. You’ll hang from the edge, pull up
and get inside before the door goes down. But OK, you’re inside now.
Going down from the wall and the door on your right is going up
The lowest point: the door on your right has fully opened
The correct position for starting your swing
SWING!
Pull up and get into the room while the door is closing down
Take
the Jaguar Head from the pedestal. Turn right and take a Health Potion. On the
other side smash a jar that is containing Treasure #4.
Take the Jaguar Head
Take the Health Potion
Collect Treasure #4
To the right of the Jaguar pedestal there are two close walls for a chimney jump (where you found the Health Potion). Start from the left wall and pull up into the upper room facing a window with a finger plant. You will hear the growling of a large animal.
The two close walls for your chimney jump
The chimney jump
Pull up here
Go
to the window and look down. You will see a panther running around in the garden
below. Target and use your pistols to shoot it each time when the target becomes
red. It will take a while but you’ll finally will get him down.
Walk to the window and look down: target at the panther and keep shooting
until he’s well asleep
Now
you have to make your way down from here. Hang from the window edge. You can
drop all the way down from here taking a little damage.
Just drop down from the window’s edge
When
you drop down in order to run to your bike you will be attacked by two panthers.
Switch to the powerful guns and rid of them.
The
Submachine guns were a good choice from the beginning
Turn
away from the

When turning left you’ll see some stairs leading down.

Turn
all the way left behind and look for a brown jar containing Treasure #6.
Treasure #6 is in this jar
Then
on the other side in a corner there is Treasure #7 in another brown jar.
And here is Treasure #7
Get on the bike, go left and ride from the stairs. Go on and ride up a flight of stairs again. You’ll end up by another ruin.
Your ride to a second ruin
The wall of the second ruin
Get
off the bike here. Go left and notice two jars and a Health Potion. Take the
potion and Treasure #8 hidden in one of the jars.

you find a Health Potion and two jars of which on contains your 9th
Treasure. Collect both.

Approach the circle in the courtyard.
Get into the circle
A
Cut Scene starts:
Lara
takes her camera: The Mayan Calendar had
only 360 days, and the remaining five were named the Unnamed Days. The Maya
believed that each year when the Unnamed Days arrived, the gate to the
underworld would open.
Lara
walks to the edge and looks down to a lower plaza.
