Go  back  on  the  ramp,  go left to small cage room to take the large
medipack,  go out, go forward to another opening, look on the windows,
Jump  and  Kill the henchmen. Go out on the opening near you, find the

Go  forward,  crouch  and  go  left  first  at the intersection to the
opening,  you'll  see another the Cemetery area, go forward on the dog

see  some  ammo  and harpoon on the left side of building. This is the
tricky part, SAVE FIRST, then find the good place to jump. Try to jump
&  jump  to  that  place,  if  you  fail, restore the game, repeat the
process until you succeed.

After  you grab the Harpoon and the ammo, don't jump on the water yet.
Look  forward,  you'll see some item in the darkness. SAVE AGAIN, jump

side, each side have the harpoon ammo, so check it out. go back on the
dock,  before  you  proceed forward, look behind you (on other side of
the  dock)  you'll  see some yellow item (1 Rocket ammo), we'll get it
later (if you want that badly).

Make  your way back to the bridge, if you want to grab the rocket ammo
(near the dock), move to the right ledge of the bridge, look down, try

opening,  LOOK the Windows on the wall above you, there is two windows
and  the  broken  ones  on  the  wall, that is the way to get the next
secret.

CheckPoint #A), go through the opening, take the flare near the monkey
swing. (NOTE : If you look outside, you'll see Nessie, swimming on the
