The beginning of this level is pretty straight forward. Look for entrances all around the colosseum. Ahhh.. the famed alligator pit. Many a raider has gotten stuck here. You're going to have to do some ledge hanging and shimmying to get across. Still, you might end up stuck on the other end because you can't pull yourself up. If that happens, consider the possibility that you chose the wrong side to cross over. You can kill most of the animals in the colosseum before you even get on the floor. The rooms on the far end are very unfriendly. Have weapons handy. When you're in the large hole, you can jump up and fire at the lions on the ground above you while you're in the air. Man, those doors close fast. You're probably doing everything right, you've just got to be faster.=OD Back into that first plate that opens the door. That will save you some time. You might also be interested to know that the big metal door out there isn't on a timer. That's not where you're racing to get to, in case you haven't been listening to sounds. When you get up on all the rocks, there are some goodies. Where you are headed isn't hidden somewhere. Those rocks over there just LOOK like they're too far away. Well, you've opened that door clear over there. You know how to get down and get back over there. You came that way. Hop, hop, hop. A standing jump will do the trick. You probably learned from level 4 that a ramp might mean a boulder is coming your way. Trust your instincts. Wow, the mercenaryguy. Give him a couple of shots and he'll go away. The lion is a little more persistant. More classic hopping around. Got the key? Yeah, you have to redo all that stuff to get back up there. Swim like the dickens and don't look back.
