Level Chronology:
Remnants	Bhogavati		The Ancient World

Bhogavati is the eighth level in Tomb Raider Underworld and the second of the Coastal Thailand Section.

Part of the level was included in the Tomb Raider Underworld Demo alongside with the full Remnants level.

Bhogavati is the capital of Patala, the seventh netherworld in Hindu tradition. It is populated by naga, which in the most notorious descriptions are large snake-people. The architectural style of this ruin has never been found this far to the southwest before and is older than any other site I'm familiar with, which changes our notions of how these Hindu traditions moved throughout Asia.

Finds

Secrets

There's a total of fifteen Treasures hidden throughout the level. Some of them lay at plain sight and some are inside of the Secret Vases.

• 1st Treasure

The first Treasure of this level is inside a secret vase that's on a ledge that has poles and beams on it, leading to the right side of the lift mechanism. There are two ways to get to it:

1. After the first cutscene, go to the right, following the passageway. When you come across a gap from which you can drop down, go through it. Now you should be on the platform with beams and poles on it. Don't start to climb up along them. Instead, follow the platform to the gap with the Grapple Ring. There you can find the vases, and breaking the secret vase reveals the Treasure.
2. If you've taken the way to the left, you can use the grapple to get across the pit, landing to the vases.

• 2nd Treasure

After the cutscene where Lara notices the similarities with the Niflheim, break a secret vase on the left of the hallway to find the second Treasure.
