Peru - part I | Peru - Return to Paraiso Tomb Raider: Legend Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Additional information: This is a very long level, however you should be getting used to this by now. The level has been separated to three different parts. There are some quite challenging fights ahead of you. After that, you will be able to take a tour on a bike. The last part of the mission is by far the biggest one. You will have an opportunity to explore the main temple complex. Once again you will also have to solve a huge puzzle. Thankfully, it won't be that hard to complete.

A short cut-scene will appear on your screen shortly (#1). You will be informed that you have to meet Anaya at a nearby marketplace. Before you proceed to that location, it would be best to practice some of Lara's new moves. There's a small dummy on your right. You will be able to use it for much needed practice. Start off by throwing a few punches at it. One of the coolest moves is being activated in the air (#2). The most important thing is that the time slows down a little. Thanks to that, you will be able to make a few precise shots.

Make sure you're ready before moving on to the next area of the map. You will be able to use some of the nearly trained moves in a near future. Head on to the main square (#1). A new cut-scene should appear on your screen. Lara will meet Anaya here. Sadly, their conversation is going to be interrupted in just a few seconds. You will have to deal with some massive enemy forces. Start off by killing all of the nearby soldiers (#2). I would recommend that you use your machine gun during these fights. You should also try and aim at the highlighted objects. Thanks to that, you should be able to end this fight quickly.

Once you've dealt with the first wave of enemy soldiers, a very short cut-scene will appear on the screen. More enemies will arrive in this area (#1). Be careful! They are heavily armed and they will stop at nothing. I would recommend that you start making jumps in order to avoid most of the bullets. You could also try using some of Lara's secondary moves (a small slide seems like a good idea). Furthermore, there's a single soldier waiting for you at the top balcony (#2). Take him out as soon as possible.

You could start making a few jumps (you have to be standing on a nearby stairs) in order to reach one of the hidden objects. This is not necessary. As I've mentioned before, I'll concentrate all of my efforts on explaining how to reach next sections of the map. Head on to a big pole (#1). You have to climb a little in order to reach an opposite balcony. Turn right and start moving forward. Make a double jump. Thanks to that, Lara will automatically use grapple (#2). You should be able to reach the next building without any major problems.

There's a single guard in a nearby room. You might want to consider following one of the additional hints. The game will display it on your screen in just a few seconds. The objective is to throw a grenade inside. You will have to use the K key. Alternatively you could just enter the room and kill him will your rifle (#1). Don't forget to pick up objects along the way (medkits & ammunition). One of the snipers will be located on the left balcony. Take him out from the distance. Now you will have to deal with three remaining soldiers (#2). Just as before, don't get too close to them. You should also be moving all the time.

You may use the grapple now. Thanks to that, you should be able to reach the roof of an opposite building (#1). Be careful, though. You will be encountering additional enemy units along the way. It would be wise to use some of the new moves (kicks, jumps...) in order to take them out quickly. A pick-up truck will arrive on the map. You will have to take out the gunner. He is standing by a heavy machine gun, so he's a serious threat (#2). It would be best to shoot at the highlighted object. Thanks to that, you'll kill him almost instantly.

You may jump down from the roof. Head on to the neutralized heavy machine gun. There are some new soldiers on your left (#1). You will have to take them out quickly. I would recommend that you use the heavy machine gun. Press the E key in order to do that. Start shooting at the enemy soldiers (#2). Most of them will be coming from a nearby alley. You shouldn't have any problems with them.

Head on to the right alley (the same one that was guarded by two enemy soldiers). There's a cool bike parked here (#1). You will have to use it. A short cut-scene will appear on the screen in just a few seconds. You will have to reach Anaya. She's being followed by the same thugs that tried to kill Lara. There's a long chase ahead of you. Thankfully, it's very easy to accomplish. I would recommend that you familiarize yourself with the steering options (#2). You will have to avoid hitting any objects (especially rocks) along the way, because this will only drain Lara's energy. Thankfully, you will be able to make a few jumps. Some of them will help you avoid certain traps.

You should be able to reach the first group of enemy soldiers in just a few seconds (#1). Listen to what the game has to say. You will have to use the G key in order to concentrate your fire on the nearest opponent. It would also be wise to change your position often, so you won't get hit by too many bullets. Once you've dealt with the current group, you will have to reach the next one. Be careful while driving through small caverns (#2). It's very easy to hit something here (or even get stuck). You should also be searching for any additional medkits. They will appear on the road from time to time.

You will reach a destroyed bridge very shortly. Don't even think about stopping or slowing down! Keep moving towards the opposite end of the bridge (#1). You will have to make two jumps in order to pass through safely. Be careful! The jumps must be very precise. Otherwise Lara will end up dead. You might want to consider shooting at the highlighted objects along the way, however this is not necessary. You will reach a small canyon very shortly (#2). Start moving towards three huge trucks.
