City of Vilcabamba - Starting Area - Quick Sweep to Clear out Enemies

Starting with the level entrance at Lara's back, follow the passage along the right wall.

Continue to the far end.

Kill the lone wolf (5) in the well-lit, open area at the next corner.

Continue forward, past the doorway on the left leading to the central pool. Instead take the second left and follow the narrow hallway along the outer wall.

Shoot 3 bats (6-8) drop from the ceiling as you approach.

Continue forward, ignoring the passageway leading off to the left for now.

At the next corner, another wolf (9) jumps out. If you approach slowly with guns drawn, you should be able to lock on as it comes around the corner, then hop/backflip away while shooting.

When it's dead, search the foliage in the corner to find a small medi pack (1). Then turn the corner to the left and continue on.

Just ahead, the passage widens and light spills in from above. There's a hallway on the left leading to a door with a black-and-white switch and the central area with the pool. Ignore them for now and continue straight on.

At the next intersection, there's a locked door and keyhole. You don't have the key yet, so ignore it as well and continue straight on, killing 5 more bats (10-14) that drop from the ceiling.

At the end of the long passageway, go up two low steps, turn left...

...continue straight, then go down two low steps, and turn left again. (Going straight here would take you back to the level entrance.)

Two more bats (15-16) drop down from the ceiling. You may need to pass under the second bat to get it moving, then roll and shoot it. Continue into the large, low-ceilinged room with the square pool in the center.
