Complete The River Ganges level in Tomb Raider III. Find secrets, use the Quad Bike, and navigate treacherous waters.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Before hopping on the Quad Bike, head back the opposite direction and go past the temple to find Secret #1.
  2. 2
    To find Secret #1: Hang from the ledge at the end, acquire the ladder, move left, and drop onto the ledge. Take a running jump to the next ledge, repeat for the next, then use a running jump with a grab to the next. Use a standing jump with a grab from the very left of the platform, followed by a running jump to the next ledge, and finally a running jump with a grab to the last ledge.
  3. 3
    Inside the secret room, go left to find a slope. Put Lara's back to the pillar, jump forward onto the slope, jump off to the next, and as soon as you land, jump to the next slope. From this slope, jump and grab to reach the top of the pillar.
  4. 4
    Warning: Messing up any jumps in the secret area will cause Lara to fall into a spike pit.
  5. 5
    Collect Shotgun Shells from ledges behind you, and a Save Crystal and Large Medi-pack from the ledge with burners.
  6. 6
    Return the way you came.
  7. 7
    Go past the Quad Bike and pull up into the opening for Flares and MP5 Clips.
  8. 8
    Hop on the Quad Bike and ride it back past the temple.
  9. 9
    Get up speed with the turbo technique and jump over the river into the cave.
  10. 10
    Carefully move past the first pit and move on to the second pit to find Secret #2.
  11. 11
    To find Secret #2: Climb down into the second pit and claim the Flares, Large Medi-pack, and Shotgun Shells.
  12. 12
    Jump the second gap and continue onto a ramp.
  13. 13
    Climb the ramp and jump the gap.
  14. 14
    Turn right and jump the second gap.
  15. 15
    Park your bike next to the gate and return to the ramp you just jumped.
  16. 16
    Use a running jump with a grab to reach the opening to the left.
  17. 17
    Go in and kill the Cobra.
  18. 18
    Crawl through the gap and climb up into the corridor.
  19. 19
    Jump over the hole and kill the second Cobra.
  20. 20
    Pick up the Small Medi-pack and safety drop down the hole.
  21. 21
    Pick up the Save Crystal and kill the two monkeys.
  22. 22
    Head back over to the gate and push the button to open it, allowing your bike to get through.
  23. 23
    The Right Path: Rumble down the blocks and jump over the river. Drive the bike down into the hole and dismount. Kill the monkey and take the Small Medi-pack. Continue up the slope, killing three monkeys and ignoring the crawl space on the right. When the slope requires a jump, do so and climb up to the ledge on the left. Go through the foliage into a small cave, kill the Cobra, and crawl through foliage into another small cave with a Gate Key. Take it and return to the slope. Go to the top of the slope and through the cave to the left for Flares and Uzi Clips. Return to the ignored crawl space.
  24. 24
    Inside the crawl space, take out three monkeys. Take Shotgun Shells from the alcove and move into the room with two locks. Go through the passageway and climb up through the hole. Kill the monkey and approach the two gates. The second gate has quicksand around it. Opposite is a ledge with a Save Crystal and a monkey. Head to the other gate, step up on the green rock, turn left, and use a standing jump with a grab to reach the ledge above. Climb up and use a running jump to the tree branch. From here, use a standing jump to the ledge ahead.
  25. 25
    Jump to the next branch, kill the monkey, and follow the path into the ruins. Ignore the hole and move into the next room. Kill two monkeys and approach items on the floor to lure two more monkeys out. Take the Uzi Clips, Rocket, and the second Gate Key. Go back and drop into the hole, avoiding fire. Kill the monkey and proceed around the corner, killing another monkey. Climb into the alcove and push the button to open the gate, letting in four monkeys. Kill them and go outside.
  26. 26
    Head around to the right to the open gate with quicksand. Climb up onto the ledge opposite by grabbing low edges. Take Shotgun Shells and return to the tree. Climb up on green ledges to reach the tree branch. Jump into the other area and return to the two locks by going back down the hole. Use the two Gate Keys.
  27. 27
    Return to your Quad Bike. Drive up the slope and right past the gate. Continue to the area near the gate with quicksand. Use a turbo jump to get across and drive past the tree in the next area. Continue down the corridor, killing two monkeys by the river. Jump to the tree root sticking out in the water. Run and jump to the green ledge ahead. Turn right, run, jump, and grab the tree root across the water. Shimmy right and pull up. Jump to the next ledge and take Uzi Clips and Harpoons. Return to the tree root and from the triangle section, use a running jump with a grab.
  28. 28
    The Left Path (Recommended for Secrets): Go past the Quad Bike and pull up into the opening for Flares and MP5 Clips. Hop on the bike and ride it back past the temple. Get up speed with the turbo technique and jump over the river into the cave. Carefully move past the first pit and move on to the second. Climb down into the second pit to claim the Flares, Large Medi-pack, and Shotgun Shells (Secret #2). Jump the second gap and continue onto a ramp. Climb the ramp and jump the gap. Turn right and jump the second gap. Park your bike next to the gate and return to the ramp you just jumped. Use a running jump with a grab to reach the opening to the left. Go in and kill the Cobra. Crawl through the gap and climb up into the corridor. Jump over the hole and kill the second Cobra. Pick up the Small Medi-pack and safety drop down the hole. Pick up the Save Crystal and kill the two monkeys. Head back over to the gate and push the button to open it, allowing your bike to get through. Drive up to the top of the slope and go right past the gate. Continue onward and you will reach the area near the gate with the quicksand. Use a turbo jump to get across and then drive past the tree in the next area. Continue down the corridor and kill the two monkeys by the river. If you're feeling brave, you can pick up some ammo here. Jump to the tree root sticking out in the water. Run and jump to the green ledge ahead. From here, turn right and run, jump, and grab the tree root across the water. Shimmy right and pull up. Jump to the next ledge and take the Uzi Clips and Harpoons. Now return to the tree root and from the triangle section, use a running jump with a grab.
Tips
  • Falling into the river at any time means instant death due to the current and piranhas.
  • The turbo technique on the Quad Bike allows for longer jumps.
  • The left path along the river is recommended to find all secrets.
