Complete Tomb Raider III Madubu Gorge walkthrough, including locations for Secret #1 (MP5 Clips) and Secret #2 (Large Medi-pack, Rocket).

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Move forward from the start; bats will emerge from a cave to the left.
  2. 2
    Continue forward, and a Kimodo will descend from a tree on the left.
  3. 3
    As you approach the edge of the green ledge to the right, another Kimodo will climb up.
  4. 4
    After defeating the Kimodos, return to the cave where the bats appeared and climb through the opening to find a Small Medi-pack, Grenades, and Uzi Clips.
  5. 5
    Head back to the ledge where the second Kimodo appeared.
  6. 6
    Drop down onto the ledge below, then drop again onto the ledges to your left.
  7. 7
    At the bottom, face the block in the river. Take two steps back and use a standing jump to reach it. Warning: If you fall into the rapids, Lara will drown instantly.
  8. 8
    You now have two path choices: the short path with no secrets, or the longer path with secrets required for the bonus level.

SHORT PATH

  1. From the block in the river, run and jump to grab the slope.
  2. Shimmy right and pull up onto the block.
  3. Climb atop the block and look forward and to the right.
  4. Make a standing jump to the small gray triangular section ahead.
  5. Jump up to the next triangular section, then jump around the corner to a button. Pressing this button opens a trap door back in the building.
  6. Jump back around the corner, then jump towards the raised block.
  7. Land on the slope, slide backward, grab the edge, and shimmy right to pull up.
  8. From here, make a standing jump with a grab to the very left edge of the block.
  9. Climb over the other side and shimmy back left.
  10. Pull up and backflip to the block in the river. Aim for the spot where the slope changes color from purplish to white.
  11. Back on the block, take a running jump with a grab to the ledges and climb back up into the building.
  12. Safety drop down the trap door and board the Kayak.
  13. Paddle into the rapids and let them carry you down the path. Stay in the middle of the stream to snag a Save Crystal.
  14. As you round the corner, stay to the right to avoid the red line, which triggers falling rocks ahead. Back paddle to avoid them.
  15. Skip the next section to continue the walkthrough.

On this ledge, put Lara's back to the block on the right. Walk forwards five steps and then backflip. You will land on the other side of the block. Slide down and grab the edge. Shimmy right and drop down on the wooden ledge. Enter the hut for a Large Medi-pack and Rocket. Return to the wooden ledge. From here, take a running jump to the slightly sloped ledge ahead and to the right. Start from the left of your platform to avoid the rocky overhang, and bend to the right in mid-air. DO NOT USE A GRAB. Once you land the jump, climb back up near the crawlspace opening.

  1. Follow the corridor to a pool.
  2. Shoot the two crocodiles and jump into the pool.
