stuck. . .help

[catch]

Alright, so I believe I'm on the third level. . .maybe not. Anyway, I'm in this tomb, and I go into what I believe to be a throne room where a mummy (sitting next to a king skeleton) whatches me walk around the room. There's an altar somewhere in the middle of the room with something on it (forgetting the name of it presently). If I take it the ceiling falls and the exits where I used to be able to walk around are blocked off. If I bump the mummy he/she kills over, as well as when I shoot him/her (go figure).

I figured I might have to give the whatchimicalit from the altar to the creepy mummy, but I can't get to him/her when the ceiling falls. . .without tippin' the poor guy/girl over.
please help, thanks.

Welcome to the forum catch http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/wave.gif

Standing in front of the item with the throne to your left and the door to your right, take the item, and run out of the door on the right. I can't quite recall, but if it's shut, it will open as you approach. Then run down the corridor. Watch out behind you though! ;)

thank you

I did do that much, but then I got down to that main room and can't go anywhere. The only door open is back into the mummy room.

And what's the purpose of the mummy?

These mummies generally attack, and quite viciously. You will find that out later on! But I think they just messed up the AI on this one and it just stands there, all dumb like. :D Ok, when you get the artefact, it's time to leave the tomb, so leave the way you came in.

that is the one exit I didn't think to try. That's probably while all the other exits have been blocked.

also, it's a serious AI problem when the mummy dies when I bump into it. Maybe it's tryin' to be deceptive.

No, it's looking at Lara and thinking "Oh my god, look at that freak, fancy coming out in public with no bandages on!"

Hi ya Catch http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/wave.gif
Tomb of Qualopec is the level you're referring to I think. I found when I entered the room, (as usual, being cautious with guns out) Lara was pointing her guns at the mummy so just shot it, LOL! (it does count as a kill if you do, up to you). If you analyse the piece on the alter you have picked up, it will tell you it's a piece of the scion, which is what Lara is after - (3 pieces, remember?) - the FMV at the begging when she's talking to Natla is the giveaway here ;) So take the piece, run down the ramp (watch the boulder which chases you if you didn't trigger it before) and out the door the way you came in. Bear in mind that the rest of the mummies in this game are not so docile...... ;)
