This is the first of the really cool levels. After seeing the level, I was completely sold on the game. If you fall into the river, don't struggle. Just make sure you're under water. I learned this after cracking my head a few times.=OD Remember the feeling of getting the shotgun in Doom? You can relive the feeling right here in Tomb Raider if you head upstream first. I wonder who that was. That machine won't work no matter how many places you tug at it. It's missing some parts. Don't waste a lot of time trying to swim or get to the waterfall. You just can't do it (well, for now, anyways). Ok, so you climbed out of the water and into the large hole in the cliff. You've got to kill a bunch of wolves and hop all around. Do you really think you did that just for a clip of ammo you can't use for another 4 levels? Keep an eye up. If you haven't seen the dinosaurs, you haven't seen half of the level. Keep track of landmarks. It's easy to get turned around in the lost valley. A raptor goes down with one shotgun blast at close range. It even does a cool little dance of death. The valley is an area where you do want to run around with your weapons in hand, even right at the beginning. I suppose you could stand there and fight the T-Rex. You could also run around and keep away from it forever. If you can pull either of these off, you're my new hero. (Ok, Daniel CZH and John are my new heros) Update - I went back and did it, too.=OD The easiest way is to find a nice place to hide out. You know there has to be something worthwhile in that temple. Don't leave without it. You knew you'd have to jump across that broken bridge up there sooner or later. Finding the entrance isn't that hard because it glows a little. You can make that jump. I don't care if you tried it a million times. Try some more. Use the skills you learned in the tutorial about run-up jumping and grabbing. Use look to line yourself up and the keyboard to run if you're afraid of getting off-course. You have 2 of the 3 gears now. The last one isn't on the valley floor, but don't leave dino land without it. It's in the cave that ends in a pool (complete with a raptor), but the tricky bit is that it's not on the ground. Now go give those gears a home. Save when crossing the river, if you're into saving time. You probably knew what that machine was going to do all along, didn't you? The way out of the level was in front of your nose all along. It isn't up there.
