Ahhh.. remember this from the demo? This is what sold you on the game. Ever notice that there are screen captures of this level all over the game box, but it shows people and animals that aren't there? Weird. You don't really NEED to do hardly anything on the first half of this level. It's a good idea to practice swimming now that it really can kill you. It's also good to start your stockpile of health, since there is a lot of it laying around. If the first bear is giving you problems, fine someplace high to climb on. You make think you're trapped in the room that you jumped into. Remember that bit in the manual about pushing stones? Once you've gotten into the large building and worked your way up, you really can get down on the outside. It's not as far as you think. Do your first dive from the platform up there. It's really cool. Swinging blades don't mean you can't make it through. They mean you need to watch your timing.=OD When you're inside the building, make sure to swim everywhere and really check things out. You may think you put that Incan god thinger in the hole, but the program probably forgot you did it, like it did to me.
