RETURN TO EGYPT

Kills: 38  Items: 50  (including shotgun, magnums and one key) Secrets:  3

Slide into the level.  Approach the edge and the trapdoor opens.  Take a running jump 
across the gap and climb up into the right opening to find a large med-pack.  Return to the 
trapdoor and jump down into the water.  Swim straight ahead to the sand bar, climb out 
and shoot the crocodile in the water.  Do things look a bit familiar?  That's right, its TR1 
and Khamoon all over again!

Jump into the water on the other side of the sand bar and head to the right to lure a couple 
more crocs out of hiding.  Climb out on the ledge to shoot them.  Pick up a small med-pack 
and magnum clips.  Then go underwater into the cave the crocs came from to retrieve some 
shotgun shells.

Cross the pond, climb over the sand bar then swim to the corner of the sphinx and climb 
out.  Go behind the head and pick up some shotgun shells.  Underwater, near the base of 
the obelisk, you'll also find 2 sets of magnum clips.  Climb out of the water on the ledge 
nearby.  From here you can now shoot a panther through the fence.  (Note the shotgun and 
shells on the ground.  You'll be getting them soon.)

Jump from the ledge to the carved pedestal with the magnum clips on top.  This opens an 
underwater door below the font of the sphinx.  This is SECRET #1.  Swim into the 
passageway until you meet the crocodile, reverse and get back to the ledge so you can kill it.  
Then return to the secret passage.  Back here is a large, flooded room with a small med-
pack and 2 boxes of shotgun shells.

Return to the main pool and swim through the tunnel below the metal fence.  Another 
crocodile awaits here.  Swim across to the far side of the area or retreat back into the first 
room to climb out and kill it.  Or, climb out into the small doorway to the right.  A panther 
lurks here (two if you didn't kill the other one through the fence), so take care of it before 
bothering with the croc.  Once you've killed the panther(s), claim the SHOTGUN, 2 boxes of 
shells and a small med-pack.  Underwater behind the boulder is another box of shells.

Climb out on the sand to the left of the cat statue.  Jump onto the gold wall, then jump 
diagonally to the wall in front of the cat.  From here you can kill 3 panthers on ledges high 
above, if you like.  Go into the water below the cat statue and pull the lever to open the gold 
door near the Pharaoh statue.  Pull up on the slanted ledge behind the statue and quickly 
back flip to land on the pedestal.  Now, head for the gold door.

Enter and proceed, but watch your back--a panther attacks from behind.  Continue to the 
opening over the area with pillars and spikes.  Jump to the pillar on the right.  Cross the 
blue floor to the next pillar.  Jump to the base of the pillar on the left.  Safety drop down on 
the other side to land on a flat area.  WALK through the spikes into the doorway.

Go the right, pull up and walk to the edge above more spikes.  Do a standing jump to grab 
the ledge opposite; pull up.  Do the same again to get over another pit of spikes.  Jump 
diagonally to the ledge on the left.  Drop down, jump over more spikes.  A door opens above, 
for SECRET #2--a large med-pack, magnum clips and 2 boxes of shotgun shells.  The exit 
door opens when you approach it and you emerge back at the spike room.  Repeat the jump 
and drop to get back to the cave entrance below.

This time, go left, around the corner and to the right between the rocks.  The cat statue on 
the ledge above transforms into a live panther as you approach.  You can shoot from below 
or pull up on the rock ledge on the right where it dips down in a "V."  Jump across to the 
area below the carved square pillar.  Follow the tunnel behind the pillar, proceeding slowly 
to avoid a boulder that drops from the ceiling.  Jump across the gap then follow the 
passageway to the left.  Pick up some shotgun shells in the passage and kill a panther that 
attacks from the spike room beyond.  Walk through the spikes to get another box of shells.

Return to the tunnel and proceed up the stairs.  Collect the shotgun shells from the top of 
the tall pillar.  From the top of the stairs (not the pillar) do a running jump to grab the 
opposite ledge.  Turn around and jump to the sloped ledge on the right, slide backwards, 
grab the edge and traverse right until you can pull up on a flat spot.  Do a running jump to 
the ledge with the shotgun shells (this is SECRET #3).  Drop down to the greenish stones 
below, then drop/slide to the ground.

Go to the other end of the cave where some carved stone blocks obstruct the exit.  Pull the 
first block out of the way, then push the second block twice to proceed.  Follow the tunnel to 
a pool.

Across the way is another panther on patrol.  You can kill it from this side of the water.  
Jump across to the island with pedestal that has the key on it.  Immediately jump up on the 
pedestal, as there's a panther lurking behind it.  Kill it and take the GOLD KEY.

Take a swim to draw out 2 crocodiles and kill them from the shore.  Now locate a narrow 
underwater opening  just to the left of the silver grate.  Follow this passageway, climb out 
of the water and immediately jump up on the stone block.  2 crocodiles come out of their 
hole right away.  Pick up the MAGNUMS and some clips.  Another 2 crocs emerge when 
you pick up the small med-pack, and there's one more crocodile in the water.  Take care of it 
before swimming back to the main area.

Swim over to where you killed the first panther.  Before getting out of the water, pick up 
some magnum clips underwater in the corner opposite the entrance.  Go up the slope and 
duck into the doorway on the left for a small med-pack.  Continue up the slope and follow 
the wooden bridges to the top.  At the very top of the last bridge, turn around so you're 
facing down the bridge.  Jump straight up to grab a ledge.  Pull up and jump to the opposite 
ledge.  Climb to the top of the rock steps, then down one more step for a large med-pack.

If you want all the kills, slide down the slope next to the stairs.  Hang onto the end and 
drop, drawing that shotgun.  Even after your adventures earlier (where you got the 
magnums) this pit still has a couple of crocs left in it.  After killing them, exit through an 
opening opposite the two small ones.  This deposits you in the cave between the moveable 
blocks and the room with the pool.

Return to the top of the wooden bridge.  Now climb up on the right side and kill another 
hungry crocodile.  Drop and hang from the ledge over the water and traverse to the right 
until you can pull up.  Take the shotgun shells.  Jump to the cat statue.  Behind it is a 
small room with a locked door.  Use the gold key to open it.

Enter and sidestep to avoid three boulders that come rolling down the ramps.  If you're 
patient, you can kill 2 panthers from above or through the fences on the sides.  Facing the 
ramps, go to the right and drop down to retrieve some shotgun shells.  (You can take 
another shot at one of the panthers from here.)  Climb back up and go down the left side to 
the floor (you'll have to get that panther now if you didn't before.)  There's a third panther 
in the room on the far left.  You can draw it out and jump up on the block to kill it if you 
like.  Inside this room are 2 small med-packs.  Through the first door on the left is a 
hallway that leads to a switch.  This opens the doors at the top of the ramps.  There's also a 
small med-pack here.  (You can hop up near the cat statue for a nice view of the outside 
area.)

Return to the lower room and go across to the other side.  Another panther lurks just inside 
the doorway.  After killing it, follow the hallway to a fork.  The darker, left fork leads to 
some shotgun shells and magnum clips.  The right hallway to a small med-pack.

Climb back to the upper level.  Go to one of the ramps and walk just far enough onto it so 
you can drop over the edge and hang.  (Each time you walk up any of the ramps, a boulder 
is released.)  Traverse until you reach the flat area at the top where you can pull up safely.  
Shoot the panther below before entering either of the doors.

Here you'll find a pair of wooden bridges over spikes.  Take a standing jump to the first 
bridge, then a running jump to the second.  Jump around to the various alcoves to pick up 3 
small med-packs and some shells.  Drop into the water, swim quickly through the 
underwater opening to avoid the 2 crocodiles  Head upward then to the far left, where there 
is a lever.  This opens the door just to the right.  Swim out, surface, and immediately kill an 
attacking panther.  Now finish off the crocs and go back to the underwater room with the 
lever to retrieve some shotgun shells.

Return to the sandy area and explore carefully.  There are some well hidden spikes over 
near the more visible ones.  When you go through the opening in the fence, you'll meet 
another panther, and when you pick up the 2 boxes of shells, a third panther attacks.  The 
area to the left of the pool has goodies strewn on the ground, and a boulder trap ready to be 
sprung.  Either rush in and back flip/side flip out, or run in and to the left for safety.  When 
the coast is clear, pick up 2 boxes of shells and a small med-pack.

Now, go behind the block next to the big mound and awaken a pair of cat mummies.  Jump 
on the block or the mound to kill them from safety.  The standing mummy is not a threat.  
There is a crocodile in the pool below the wooden bridge.  Kill it then swim down to pick up 
a small med-pack.  Cross the bridge toward the mummy to end the level.
