Up to Atlantis, with only Pistols and Uzis. :D

I'm upto the part with the timed door, with the underwater lever. I pull it and climb to the surface, and then climb up and I should be facing a pyramid-like shape. Then if I face to the right, I am then facing the timed door. Now wasn't there a quick route instead of climbing up, dodging spikes and boulders maybe? I'm sure there was a quick run and jump somewere and I made it? Tell me...

I don't have the game installed atm, so can't double-check, but I think that at some point, you can only avoid triggering a boulder, by jumping at a specific angle. Other than that, there's no shortcut you can take there.

What you can do though, is go for the secret first so as to trigger the traps while running / jumping on the ledges to reach it. Then when you want to go for the timed door, at least you won't have to deal with the obstacles.

Its ok, thanks! I've done it!

I'm on the part with the 4/5 eggs, and there is a number of levers and you then should open underwater gates, I'm having a real tough time through this, any tips for this part?

Got damn it! I'm up to my least favourite part...The bridge and door room. You gotta be awful quick to do this.


And hey! I havn't died yet in Atlantis, but I better watch it here.

Oh yeah this part is quite frustrating! I guess you must be done with it by now though? :)

How did you know? :D

I have done the giant mutant a big favor ;) With only pistols!

Now stuck on the part with the crumbly floor and an opening across from it. The part just after the axe and boulder, with lots of spikes and lava....Help!

Well done. Isn't it great? :D I killed it with pistols last time I played the game, when we were doing the No Scrarch challenge. It takes more time this way, but it's so rewarding :D

Concerning the part where you are stuck, it's just a matter of positioning before the jumps, and of course running and jumping at the right moment. I usually start by positioning Lara not at the very edge of the ledge, but a few steps back. This way, with the running jump that she will perform next, she is more likely to land at the closest edge of the collapsing tiles. Then run and jump in the opening. This is the last secret of the game, BTW, which doesn't register.

What member number am I to have killed him with pistols? :)

LOL I don't know, there are several people here who have done it :) Most of those who have participated in the 'pistols only' challenges, for example. And of course some others who have reported doing it every now and then. But I don't know the exact number :p
