Paris, Section 9 - The Pawn Shop

(The Angel of Darkness Walkthrough by Nick the Rogue)

This walkthrough was send in by Nick the Rogue

This is a short little section, so I'll add the extra section of Boucard's Hideout that you could have accessed at any time during the Parisian Ghetto areas.

Enter the manhole cover just east of Le Serpent Rouge for a few extra items.

Run down the sewer, going straight at the intersection. Walk as you turn the next corner to the right as a large pit lies before you. Take a few steps back and run/jump/grab yourself to the other side. Snag the clip, then head up the ladder at the end of the room. Follow the short hall and kick in the door. A Large Medipack lies on the other side and a roll of bills waits for you at the end of the curving balcony. Head back the way you came... run/jump/grab and all that back to the intersection...

Turn right at the four way stop and head to the room with the tall ceiling and boxes. Climb on top of the wooden box and take a gander at the bricks on the rear wall. Methinks they are climbable. Do so and, at the top, shimmy onto the small platform. You should see an opening that you should be able to shimmy to, but a pipe blocks the way on this side. Jump over to the other side and shimmy right, then climb up and follow the path.

Hey! Its that ammo/cash stash in Bernard's Park that we couldn't get to before. Kudos. Find your way back out and its onto the mission at hand.

Now...

Find the Pawn Shop (it's just West of our Streetwalking friend Janice) and make a passing acquaintance with Eckhardt. What is it with the elderly and ponytails? Head to the back of the store and find Daniel... guess you should have sold that treasure when you had the chance, huh? I'll give you three guess as to what that "M"-ish symbol in the circle of blood means. Yes, I know it's not an "M", but it kind of looks like it... doesn't it?

Snag Daniel's wallet from the floor and note the bombs that are placed throughout the backroom... uh-oh. Don't panic yet as we have to get a few items first. Go to the item screen and examine the wallet, a slip of paper with the code to his vault will come in handy in, oh, say three seconds. Head to the vault and plug in the code.

Now this next part is VERY important... when you start collecting the items in the vault go LEFT to RIGHT so you are close to the control panel when finished. In the vault we find the K2 Impactor (taser), the Dart SS (slug shooter?), some ammo for both, two pages of parchment (a map of the sewers and the Louvre), and some explosives. As soon as you pick up the last item, the vault closes and the bombs start ticking. Push the control panel on the right to open the vault and QUICKLY run out the door and immediately to the trapdoor on the right (you'll never make it out the front door). Open it and drop down... run, RUN down the hall and jump in the pipe... then run, RUN towards the camera as fast as you can as you're trying to beat the fireball...

Once Lara takes back control and the scene fades, we are treated to yet another look at our mysterious friend. He watches Lara, as she escapes the conflagration, with a cool disinterest, then walks away. Next we are privy to a meeting of Eckhardt's Cabal where we see the remaining players and a short glimpse of what I can only assume is a Nephillum.

Congratulations, you've just completed the Pawn Shop Mission and (finally) gotten out of the ghetto...
