City of Vilcabamba — Level 2 walkthrough
Lara reaches the ruined Inca settlement. The level opens up into a network of huts and a central courtyard. First bear fight.
Key items
- Silver Key — opens the door to the golden idol cache.
- Gold Idol — used in Lost Valley (next level). Don't leave without it.
- 3 secrets.
Combat tips
- Bears take many pistol shots — sidestep and circle. Don't stand still.
- The level has multiple bears in different rooms — don't aggro them all at once by sprinting through.
Tricky bit
- The switch room with the moving water has a delayed door — pull the lever, then immediately swim. The door re-closes.
If stuck: if you can't find the Silver Key, it's on a body in the southwest hut with the wooden door. The door needs to be shot open — pistols work.
