 LEVEL 1:
MEDITERRANEAN SEA

SUBLEVEL 3:
THE NORSE CONNECTION

 

You’re standing in front of a Gate.


Recognize this Gate?

 

Turn left, until you see the intersection on your right. Wait here and turn the camera left: you will see two pressure pads there. Now follow the intersection and turn immediately left where you meet your famous jars. You know which one to smash.


The familiar jars


Take your 20thTreasure

 

When returning into the previous room, go straight past the pressure pads and the stone structure until you will see a column by the opposite wall.


You’ll have to climb this column

 

When nearing the column Lara will automatically hug it. Press LAS up to climb up. On top you will meet a cave on your right. Turn your back to the cave and press B4 to jump to it. Jump down into the lower section.
Explore the lower room to find a Health Potion and notice a pressure pad and two small square blocks.


A Health Potion

     

Pick up one of both blocks and stand on the pressure pad. The weight will open a door. Stand on the pressure pad in front of the door and throw it into the door opening (B8).


Position Lara with her block here

      

Repeat for the second block. Now run and roll under the door before it close and reach the next room.


Roll into the 3rd room

 

In this room you will find two pressure pads too. The blocks needed to be thrown in here to open another mechanism! Place two block on one pressure pad. That will open one part of the door.


The two blocks together on 1 pressure pad

 

You’ll notice a similar column in here leading to a cave. Well, don’t climb up because you will end up in the first cave. And don’t enter the two open rooms either.
Stand on a corner of the second pressure pad so you can see the ring on the second gate. Grapple on it and pull down the gate.


Pull down the gate

 

Enter the newly opened room and you will see one of Thor’s Gauntlets.


Behold Thor’s Gauntlet!

 

Approach and a cut scene will start:
Lara will take the Gauntlet but it will break into pieces. Some hidden jewel inside the Gauntlet magically grips her hand.


Lara takes the Gauntlet


Thor’s Hammer Mjolnir was powerful enough to level mountains

 

But how does this all relate to Avalon?
Then three heavily armed goons enter Thor’s room behind Lara (they must have secretly followed her steps).


Put your hands around you’re your head and turn down, slowly

 

Lara: I don’t suppose you’d be open to bribery, would you?
They remove the Jewel from Lara’s left hand, steal it and leave a timed bomb behind:
Amanda Evert sends her regards.
Lara can hide behind one of the pillars when the bomb goes off and is saved:
Bloody Hell!

Go left of Thor’s Statue and break the silver jar.


The common silver jar


Take Treasure # 21

 

Follow the opening through which the goons left, pass the two pressure pads and turn right into the next room. A new block on your left has dropped due the explosion. Climb up and vault up into a passage.


The new passage

 

Follow the passage (it turns right) and then turn left where you will see a doorway. Look slightly left and notice the silver jar containing Treasure # 22.


Left of the door stands the silver jar containing Treasure # 22

 

Continue through the door into a room which is full of columns and parts. At the left end there is a bunch of jars of which the silver one contains Treasure # 23.


Break that jar

 

Now it’s time for climbing columns. Return to the door and climb the left column. Face your back to the broken column and jump to it.


Climb this column


Jump to this half column

 

Above you will see a ledge. Climb until that height and jump to it. On this ledge you will see a headed pillar and a next half pillar hanging from the ceiling.


Jump to the headed pillar and perch on it


Now jump to the hanging pillar

 

Turn around and jump backwards to the ledge. Turn right and notice another hanging pillar and two headed pillars. Jump to the hanging pillar, turn your back to the first headed pillar and perch on it. Then turn around facing the second headed pillar and from there jump to the opposite ledge.


Turn your back to the first headed pillar


Jump to the first and then to the second headed pillar


And now to the opposite ledge

 

This is another passage you have to follow until you must crawl under a low rock on the far left. Crawl under the passage and when leaving look left to find the silver jar with your 24th Treasure. Still two to go!


Here you’ll catch Treasure # 24

 

Continue the passage until the end, turn left and overlook the Kraken Room. In a short cut movie you’ll see one of the goons fleeing.


One of them is escaping

 

Standing on the ledge look slightly to your right to notice a ring hanging from the ceiling. Go all the way right and stand straight in front of the ring.


Use this ring to grapple and reach the opposite ledge

 

Jump and hang from the grapple rope facing the opposite ledge. Start swinging until you reach high an altitude to loosen the rope and land on the ledge.


Hanging from the rope


Let go now!

 

In one of the corners you’ll find a Health Potion and in the right corner the silver jar that contains your 25th Treasure.


A Health Potion on the left


Treasure # 25 on the right

 

Now climb the flat rock in the center of the ledge, pull up, turn right and vault up to the narrow ledge above. Shimmy left and vault up to the upper ledge.


The flat rock


Up to the top

 

Pull up and jump to the horizontal pole on the left wall. Spin around and jump to the opposite ledge.


The pole in front of the ledge you’ll have to reach

 

Turn all the way right and notice a slope there. Slide down to the lower ledge.


Slide down from this slope to the lower ledge


Hang from the ledge and look to your right

 

Shimmy right and jump to the right narrow ledge. Continue shimmying right and jump to a ledge on your right where water drops are falling upon. Pull up and notice your silver jar containing the 26th and LAST Treasure here!


This jar contains your FINAL Treasure

 

Turn right and jump to the opposite ledge. Turn right-left and crawl under a low rock. Inside this room turn left and find a remarkable Golden Sphere: that is your Relic!


To the other ledge


The Golden Sphere

 

Picking up this sole Relic in this Level will heal Lara completely and increase her Health Level permanently.


You’ve found everything in here


Lara’s Health Level has increased now

 

It’s a good idea to save your Game here.

Crawl under the low rock again, jump to the previous ledge and down from it. Jump to the left narrow ledge, shimmy all the way left and jump left to the ledge where you originally found your final Treasure.


The ledge of your final Treasure

 

Let go from here to the lower ledge. Now you have to return all the way to the circular door with the three parts you originally came through.
Follow the hallway and at the end turn right-right until you are standing on the ledge again where you first met the Kraken. Turn around and return via the staircases you originally arrived here.
Stand on the ledge left down the second staircase Where you’ve found a Treasure jar), turn left and jump up to the narrow ledge. Shimmy somewhat to the right and vault up to the upper narrow ledge.
Shimmy right until you are under the torch and jump right to the next narrow ledge. Shimmy right until the end and drop down to the lower narrow ledge and from there to the lower one. Shimmy right around three corners and pull up into the low opening (you’ve been here before). Go left from the stairs, jump up the two rocks and jump to the opposite ledge where you find another couple of staircases. Enter the room where you pulled down the serpent’s head. Further on you’re at the pool room again.
Jump into the pool and swim to the flat ledge where you can enter the door that accesses the second pool (originally on your first trip that used to be the first pool). Climb over the rocks and jump into the pool. Find the hole you came in (remember the tentacle pointing you the way in?). That hole is very hard to find! Just follow the hole in front of you.


The hole!

 

Then swim back through the passage with the Jellyfish until you reach the circular puzzle doorway with three open parts.


You’ve found the original doorway

 

Swim through the hole in front of you, head all the long way up to the water surface until Lara meets her boat.


Back to Lara’s boat

 

Cut scene:
Lara will climb up to the boat and see a large ship lying not far away from hers. Through her camera she spots one of the goons.


Lara sees another boot...


...and spots a goon through her camera


She heads into the direction of the boat
