The Great Wall is the first level in Tomb Raider II. This level is more about testing the players abilities to maneuver Lara through sets of traps rather than combat. Combat is light throughout the Level, with no human enemy to right at the end, and the player does not even have to face him as he is involved in a quick movie scene.

Lara's search for the Dagger of Xian begins at the Great Wall of China, supposedly the resting place of this ancient artefact. Lara arrives by helicopter and abseils to the ground. Between her and the Temple of Xian are a series of secret antechambers filled with traps to protect the dagger.

Having survived the defences, Lara finds a large door bearing the symbol of the dagger and a hole that looks like it needs a key. As she investigates she is attacked by a stranger named Claudio. She disarms him and he reveals to her that he is a servant of Marco Bartoli. Before she can discover any more, he drinks from a small bottle of poison, killing himself in front of her. Lara looks around, and discovers a notebook by a nearby camp fire. She needs something to get in to the temple of Xian, and the notebook gives her somewhere to start looking: Via Caravelli, Venice.

In this level Lara encounters Tigers, Spiders and two T-Rex.

Lara starts with Pistols and Shotgun in her inventory and she can collect the Grenade Launcher here.
