		Lara walks across a snow covered mountain crest behind her local guide. They reach an enormous stone door and Lara examines the markings at the top of the door. She effortlessly flings a grapnel onto some rocks above the the doorway and scales the stone door post. Near the top, she swings over to the center of the door and presses in one of the stone carvings. Slowly the double stone doors groan open. The guide stands there unimpressed, but his eyes suddenly widen with fear as four wolves rush out from the darkness within. The guide screams and begins to run when the wolves swarm upon him. Without wasting any time to rappel down the door post, Lara reaches into her boot and produces a Bowie knife and cuts the rope she is secured to. While falling, she reaches into her hip holsters and produces two pistols and begins to pick off the wolves when she hits the snowy ground. After quickly dispatching the four wolves, she walks over to attend to the guide, but he's already dead. She turns and faces the door and after a slight hesitation, she steps inside. She crosses the threshold and takes a moment to let her eyes adjust to the darkness. Without warning the two doors shut behind her. Run along the wolf tracks until Lara reaches a hall with slits on both sides. Run through the middle of the hall and press and hold the jump key. Lara should be able to cross without taking any damage. As Lara rounds the first corner, she will look up to indicate where she should go.
	SECRET #1	Run past the the opening to the far left corner where there is a stone slope and a opening that is just out of reach. Face the wall with the opening and perform a back flip by pressing and holding the jump followed by a tap of the down key. Lara will backflip onto the stone slope and the jump again. Immediately press the action to grab the ledge. Lara should be able to grab onto the edge of the passage. Have Lara pull herself up into SECRET #1 and grab small Medi Pack (1). Return to the big cave where Lara was looking before.
		Climb up the rocks to the tunnel above. Lara will hear the squeaking of bats. Draw Lara's pistols and kill the three bats (1, 2, 3).
	SECRET #2	Before Lara proceeds forward, turn left and head toward the snow drift in the far right corner. Have Lara stand as far into the corner as she can and face the wall. Press the up arrow followed by the action key to grab the ledge. If Lara tries to jump and grab, she will rotate in midair causing her to miss the ledge. While hanging ready pistols. Have Lara pull herself up into SECRET #2 and immediately take a jump to the right. Kill the bat (4) that's waiting for her. Grab the small Medi Pack (2). Drop back down and return to the main passage that she came from.
		Continue down the passage and turn left where Lara will enter a large grassy cave. Head to the bottom of this cave where there is a hole in the ground. Drop down into the hole and and run down the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is a room. Draw pistols and kill the bat (5) there. Ignore the big bamboo door. Find the hole in the ceiling and climb up into it. Follow the tunnel to a large room. Don't drop to the floor of this area yet. Draw pistols and take out the two wolves (6, 7) safely from one of the ledges or the first bridge. After the wolves are dead, drop down to the floor, and run over to the middle of the second bridge and jump and pull up. It's faster than snaking around the room and crossing both bridges. Enter the next room, where there is a large gap in the middle. Draw pistols and kill the bear (8) from above. Do a safety drop into the gap, draw guns and kill the two bats (9, 10) in the passageway. Enter the passage way, grab the small Medi Pack (3) and stand on the pressure plate to open the door. Lara will be back in the room with the two bridges. Go to the second bridge and climb back up and go back to the room with the gap. Do a running jump across the gap and head to the left where there is a small Medi Pack (4). Drop down to the stairs and run into the next room. Draw pistols and immediately start hopping backward out of this room. As soon as Lara spots the wolves, start shooting. Kill the two wolves (11, 12) while either hopping backward or backflipping. Just don't backflip Lara into the pit. When the wolves are dead, run down the steps and enter the room the wolves came out of.
	SECRET #3	Walk straight forward until Lara is on a platform with four pillars. Walk to the right corner where Lara can see a ledge covered with vegetation and a doorway partly hidden by the vegetation. Walk to the edge of the platform and face the ledge and hop back and take a running jump onto the ledge. Enter SECRET #3 to find a large Medi Pack (5) to the left of the stairs as Lara enters the room. Exit this room by taking a jump back to the platform with the pillars.
		Head down the stairs to the floor of this room and to Lara's right, Lara will find an alcove underneath the stairs on which she entered the room from. In the shadows Lara can grab a small Medi Pack (6) At the far right end of the big room is a switch. It controls the door on the right, but is on a timer. Climb up to the switch. Throw it and either: walk to right edge, take a standing jump, walk to the edge of the second ledge, take another standing jump, and grab the platform and pull up and run into the doorway; or Lara can reverse after throwing the switch, run off the left platform, run around to the front of the right platform and climb up to the doorway. Continue through the tunnel and turn the corner. Run up the stairs and maybe throw in a few jumps for good measure to avoid the darts. At the top of the stairs, turn and face left. Draw guns and side jump to Lara's right into the room. This way Lara will be facing the single wolf (13) as it gets up to attack her. Kill it quickly and stand on either of the broken floor tiles to fall safely into the next room. Do not drop into the long hallway below yet. Run around to the far end of the room, where there is a ledge. Do a running jump across to the other ledge, and ready pistols. Run forward and one wolf (14) will run out of the passageway ahead. Kill it and grab the large Medi Pack (7) and enter the room it came out of and throw the switch to open the large doors at the end of the long hallway. Return to where Lara entered this room by jumping back across the ledges and go all the way to the end of the room, and take a right and don't slide down the ramp to Lara's right, instead, do a safety drop directly ahead of her to go through the big doors without ever getting near a dart. Exit this level through the big doors.
