Walkthrough

1
Enter the first area and shoot the crocodile in the pool. Dive in, swim to the other side, and pull up on the right.
2
Two lions are in this area. The first may attack if you stay to the right. Defeat it.
3
To fight the second lion, go left. If either beast gets too close, retreat to the water.
4
A third lion is inside the building to the left. To fight it safely, enter the building, go left, stand on the first step, roll onto the second, and quickly retreat to the water.
5
Head to the left side of the building and study the path up: run/jump onto the first block, pull up to the ledge, side jump right to another ledge and roll, get onto the next block to the far edge, and pull up to the higher ledge. Practice this sequence.
6
Stop at the fourth step of the climb, follow the lower ledge to retrieve a large Medi Pack (Pickup 1).
7
Backtrack to the fifth step (pull up to the second level) and follow the path to an opening to the south.
8
Before entering the opening, slide down the ledge in front of it. Walk to the NW corner of the next raised surface. Execute a long running diagonal jump to land in a cave for Secret #1 (Shotgun Shells - Pickup 2).
9
Return to the gap. Hop through and kill two crocodiles (Kills 5, 6).
10
Drop into the pit for a small Medi Pack (Pickup 3). Climb out and jump/grab the crevice to the north. Shimmy right and pull up into the opening. Head into the cave for Secret #2 (Shotgun Shells - Pickup 4).
11
Drop/grab out of the cave and continue right until you can stand. Drop through the hole ahead, but pause before climbing the stairs.
12
Option 1: Trap Pierre. Throw the switch to open the gate leading back to the area where you got Secret #1. Go up the stairs and roll across the second step from the top to trigger Pierre. Run back down the stairs, take a right, and run through the open gate. Outside the building, turn right and repeat the climb up the rocks and through the hole in the wall. Pierre will follow but cannot enter the building or climb the rocks. Loop back to the switch, throw it to close the gate, and retreat to the area by the steps. Pierre can shoot through the gate, but he is trapped.
13
Option 2: Fight Pierre. (Details not fully provided in source text, but implies fighting him directly).
