Walkthrough
- 1Swim through the gate and pull up on your right.
- 2Proceed through the opening in the center of the wall to the west.
- 3Kill the two gorillas (1, 2) on each side by backhopping as necessary, using your pistols.
- 4Go to the back of the room and cautiously enter the passage to the next room, equipping your shotgun beforehand due to potential enemy congregation.
- 5Enter the next room and kill two more gorillas (3, 4) using Magnums.
- 6Pick up the large Medi-Pack (1) from in front of the door.
- 7Go through the self-opening door and throw the switch to release three more gorillas (5, 6, 7). A Save Crystal is located here.
- 8Return to the gorillas potentially stuck in the corners of the previously warned passage. Stand at the edge of the top step as far right as possible, rotate 45 degrees left, and target them with Magnums.
- 9Go back to the pool and take a left, then look around the corner before turning right to face a crocodile (8). Shoot it while backhopping.
- 10Execute a roll, head south, and enter the garden. Kill the two gorillas (9, 10) on each side, likely with pistols.
- 11Collect the large Medi Pack (2) on the roof ahead.
- 12Locate a well-hidden switch south and west of the garden entrance. Throwing this switch opens the way to a Secret, which will be revisited later.
- 13Exit the garden, go left past the pool, and turn right where you shot the crocodile.
- 14At the east end of the passage, take the lower path to the room at the end. Cautiously proceed left.
- 15In the next-to-last alcove on the right, step on the square next to it to trigger two lions (11, 12). Jump up on the rocks and defeat them safely with Magnums.
- 16In the last alcove on the right, kill the 4 bats (13-16) with pistols and grab a small Medi Pack (3).
- 17Retrace your steps to the narrow alcove at the west end of the room. A gorilla is present but not triggered until you step on the square in front of the alcove. Equip Magnums, jump onto the trigger square, then backflip twice to create distance before engaging the gorilla.
