Leave the office and walk toward the middle of the hallway, then turn left. There is a door at the end of the hallway. Inside the room is the burned reporter. You will find bandages and a weapon. Return to the main hallway.
Pass under the lasers, moving low to the ground. Stay as far away from the mines as possible. Head to the room with the ruined stone walls. Go to the right and enter the green door. Now let’s go to the Biological Laboratory.
Head to the right, where there is a pile of boxes, so that Lara makes her usual comment, “I can climb this.” In reality, you can’t, because you have to arrange the boxes in a specific way, although first you have to kill the dogs so that they don’t bother you during the process.
If you place the boxes correctly, Lara will gain strength, although you won’t be able to climb over the fence because of the steam. To solve this problem, go to the boxes that are stacked on top of each other. Lara will now be able to pull them. Push them back until you reach the opposite wall, climb up, jump toward the fan, and turn the shut-off valve to cut off the gas.
Return to the pile of boxes and climb up, hanging from the ceiling pipe with your hands and feet. Once on the other side, drop down to the floor. Climb the ladder on the left and activate the huge saws so that Lara can use one of them to cut a ventilation duct in two. Now turn to your left and climb into the ventilation duct. Walk along it until you reach the saw, hang from the upper edge, and immediately press the action button to hang from the lower edge.
Enter the duct and crawl to the end, drop down into the duct and move forward to the light trap. A video sequence will show you how Eckhardt brutally murders Luddik. Crawl to the end of the duct and drop down when the security guard passes by to avoid being seen. Now follow him in stealth mode and kill him. Pick up his Strahov Free Pass, go up the stairs, and use the pass to enter. As soon as you open the door, a security guard will appear. Kill him and go inside. Be careful, because two more security guards will appear, so kill them and search the next room to pick up a Chocolate Bar, a Mag Vega Magazine, and two Scorpion X Magazines.
Now go to the control panel in the first room and disconnect part of the system, which will cause Lara to accidentally release the Monster. Use the pass again to leave the room, go down the stairs, and return to the duct through which you arrived at that room. Now take out your pistol and aim at the red gas cylinders in the corner from a safe distance. You will notice that Lara aims on her own, so just shoot. An explosion will move a cable reel, causing it to roll through the lasers and detonate some mines along the way.
Move toward the lasers but veer momentarily to the left to enter the room where Luddik’s charred corpse lies. Grab the Scorpion X pistol on the bed and the bandages from the closet before returning to the hallway. On the shelf near the two coils, you will find a Mag Vega rifle. Pick it up before attempting to get past the lasers.
An easier way to get past the lasers is to lie down on your stomach and crawl under all the lasers on the left side. When you reach the coil, turn right, avoiding getting too close to the mine. You can also run past while the coil is moving, but do so on the right side.
