Small Title

Level 3 The Tian Shan River

Indy lands on the snowy slope to continue his quest for ancient inferno machine pieces. On this level you get acquainted with wolfs – you can't kill them, just shoot in the air and they will run away. Otherwise Indy will be seriously bitten. At first you must shoot the guards and cross the border, but the second part of the level is dull enough – you will have to gather 4 candles down the river and put them all in one candleholder in order to cross the bridge. Avoid icy water in the river – you will be dead at once. However, you can navigate the current with an expandable boat. If it gets damage from the sharp rocks you can repair it with a repair pack. You can't use anything else from the inventory while in the boat (for example a lighter). To expand the boat step very close to the water and select it in the inventory. To dock press Ctrl when near the shore. If last time you left the boat it had holes (damage) – it will still have the same amount of pumped air inside when you use it next time till you fix it with a repair pack.

level3_00.jpg Explore the nearest cave and take the treasures. Follow the showy slope. Keep shooting in the air while moving – to avoid the wolf. Jump down/Climb Up and follow the tracks of the red army truck until you see the "USSR border" stop sign. The border is guarded with 4 soldiers and the best way to handle them is from the hill on the left. You can see a small passage to the left with another wolf. Climb the ledge and you will be at the same level with the guard on the tower platform. Kill him, hop down and kill another one patrolling below. The third guard is across the bridge and he's got a rifle. You don't need to open the gate. From the hill jump to the tower's top platform and kill the last guard on your way down the building. Explore the rooms and the vent shaft. One passage leads to the treasure room, another – to the lockers with repair packs, medikit and an expandable boat. Open the water gate and swim down the river in the boat. Try to avoid rocks – but it doesn't matter a lot. You will be able to fix the boat later.

level3_01.jpg Get out of the river and follow the path, crossing the bridge. On your left you will see an arch and a strange candleholder. Your goal is to put all the 4 candles in its slots and light them up with the lighter (press Ctrl with your lighter near the candle). After it the bridge will become functional and Indy will cross the river. Now go back to the other end of the broad passage – you will see two more soldiers, a small house and a wolf. Explore the lockers inside the house: you will find a medikit and unlimited number of repair packs. Indy can hold a maximum of three. When you return after each voyage pick up some more – you will need them. Don't forget to shoot in the air – or the wolf will bite you. Go further until you see the elevator and waterfalls. Elevator is your way back point.

level3_02.jpg The river is a strange one – it has one beginning and several endings. Each time I didn't care where I go, I didn't even try to remember the way or somehow navigate in the currents, but at the end I always was at the exact location where I needed to be according to the plot of the game – the next candle. The first candle is in the trunk of the huge tree (behind it you will find some money). The second candle was in the light-tower (along with a spider). The third one is inside the building standing on the water. The door upstairs is locked, but you can break the window and pull the lever to open it. Only in order to get the fourth candle I had to navigate the river in my own way – at first I turned left, then there was a lighthouse with a dead spider and after it I took a right current and finally I turned towards the bridge on the right and got ashore. level3_03.jpg Cross the bridge – you can see three pistons in the room. Your goal is to get to the left side of the far wall's second plane. You have to jump over the pistons in the following sequence: jump on the rightmost piston, jump back to the near wall's second floor, run through the barrels and cross the small gap, jump on the leftmost piston from the platform, jump on the middle piston and then to the far wall's second floor side. Now gather the candle, the treasure and a medikit (near barrels) and return to the boat. All river's currents finally meet at one place – near the elevator. Pull the lever, step inside the cabin and you will get to the surface.

When you gather all 4 candles (or one by one) put them into the slots of a candleholder and light them – Indy will cross the bridge, enter the sanctuary and the level will end.
