It's just much easier with it!
As the level begins, you find yourself in an alley. There's a doberman dog there, so advance carefully, back-flipping as you shoot for safety. In the courtyard ahead, there's a sniper above on a balcony to the right...you can get him by jumping up and down as you shoot. He drops a key which you can get later.
There's another alley to the left...advance down it, taking care of another dog and a thug wielding a bat as you go. When the man falls, he drops a small medipack.
At the end of the alley is an open building on your right and a canal with a closed boathouse opposite...swim down under the closed doors of the boathouse and climb out to push a button at the end of the wall. Swim back through, climb out and enter the open building (screenshot). On the table next to the button are some flares, pick them up and push the button to open the trapdoor. Climb to the next floor and push another button to open the next trapdoor. This takes you to an area near a window to another building. Shoot the glass and keep your pistols draw for another dog coming from the room on the left.
Once it's dead, shoot out the window opposite the one you just came through and jump over to the red awning. From there you can jump to the balcony with the hitman you shot at the beginning of the level, and take the boathouse key he dropped.
Return to the room the dog came from and go down the hallway with the glass walls to pull a lever to open a door somewhere outside. Come back along the passage and shoot out the glass of the window in the room (screenshot), then run, jump and grab over to the red awning opposite. Turn left and take standing jumps across the awnings to the door you just opened to pull a lever which opens the area exit door beneath.
Now you can jump into the water and under the boathouse doors to use the key to open them. Once you've done this, another hitman tries to take you out from the opposite dock...you need to get rid of him as he has some automatic pistols you could use! Swim out and kill him before swimming back to the boathouse and climbing into the boat by standing near it an pressing 'action'.
Steer the boat¹ through the exit doors find a passage just to the right. Climb out onto the ledge². This ledge leads to a passage containing some flares and the Silver Dragon. Go down the ladder (if you want all the kills), killing two rats at the bottom and climb back into the boat. Turn right and steer the boat over a small waterfall, then stop and dive down to retrieve the Gold Dragon from the bottom below the fall.
Take the boat through the water to come to an area with several brick pillars. If you want more ammo, there are two sets of Uzi clips in the water to the left of the area entrance. Back in the boat, steer to the far left of the area to reach a short ledge with a ladder at one end and a door set in the wall with a window next to it. To the right of the ladder is a boat-lock. Steer the boat through it and park up. Jump out and swim back to the ledge with the ladder. Climb out and shoot the rat, then shoot out the window to kill the thug that's inside, taking the automatic pistol clips that he drops. In the dark alcove to the left of the room, in front of the door, are some shotgun shells, pick them up and then pull the lever at the other end of the room to raise the water level in the boat-lock. Swim back though to the lock (or climb the ladder and jump in the water) and pull the underwater lever to open the doors to the next area.
Now you'll find yourself in a labyrinth of canals. Turn left, then right and plough through the three gondolas, then go back and climb out onto the ledge to the right of where they were parked. You may be able to pick off the gunman on the dock past the bridge (screenshot). Climb up on to the wooden block and jump and grab the red awning over the canal. You can jump to the bridge from here, but be careful! A dog and another thug appear from the left, and a gunman from the right! You'll need to dispatch all three before you can continue. The best way to do this is to stand at the edge of the awning, jump forward onto the bridge, then immediately jump back onto the awning as the thug with the bat and the dog cannot reach you and you can shoot them in safety! The gunman is more difficult, so jump over, turn right and jump around as you shoot to take as little damage as possible. Search the bodies and pick up a large medipack and a steel key. The key opens the door in the roof garden. Once inside, drop down through the opening in the floor and pull down the switch in the room below to open one of two gates. Climb back out to encounter another hitman!³ When he's down, take his two sets of automatic pistol clips.
Back on the bridge, face right and see if you can see the hitman on the dock over to the far left, near another boat, if you didn't get him earlier. You should be able to get him from where you are now. Once Lara has a lock on him, keep 'action' pressed until he falls. He has some goodies and another boat, but you'll return here later to retrieve them.
Go back to your boat and climb in, turning round and going back the way you entered, past the boat lock. Around the corner is another ledge with another thug. Park up, climb out and get rid of him and pick up his large medipack and two boxes of shotgun shells. Climb back into the boad and continue on, turning right at the end to pass under a white, stone bridge and smashing more gondolas. Climb out on the ledge next to where the gondolas were and the door opens to release another thug. Kill him and pinch his small medipack. Go through the door, kill two rats then pull the lever in the room to open another door somewhere.
Once back outside the room, turn left and jump up to grab the ledge with all of the glass windows (screenshot). Shoot out one of the windows and enter to find the Jade Dragon and four sets of automatic pistol clips (if you've found all three secrets). If you find the camera pulls away and won't come back, just tap the 'look' button.
Back in the boat, you can't travel any further down, so turn around and go down the narrow waterway opposite the ledge you just came from. Turn left to come to another ledge to the door you just opened (there are two ledges...you want the second one). As you step onto the ledge, a thug appears on the adjacent ledge, but you can get him later. Go through the doorway and step down into the water to pick up the iron key. The door behind you has closed, so look up to see an opening in the ceiling. Climb up and be prepared for another thug and a dog. Get rid of them, then pick up a small medipack from the body. Pull the lever to open the wooden shutters. If you stand facing the gap between the shutter and the wall on the right hand side (screenshot), you should be able to shoot the man you saw earlier on the ledge outside. That's the cowards way, and I'm not ashamed of it! :-)
Get back to your boat and turn around. Go forward, past the drying clothes, then left, then then right, and right again, until you come to the dock with the other boat. (The dock should be on your left now.) Get out and kill and/or search the hitman you saw earlier, taking his two sets of M-16 clips, then use the iron key to open the door. There's another thug inside, so kill him, then pull the switch to open the other gate.
Ok, now here's the reason for the second boat! :-) As you leave the room, stand at the edge of the dock and look left. That is the exit gate, but under the water you can see some floating, black objects...those are mines! You need to get rid of those before you can exit, and you do this with your boat. Back up your boat so it's up against the ledge straight opposite the exit gate (screenshot). Make sure it's facing the exit, then press 'forward' and 'action' to build up speed, jump out before it reaches the last dock and watch the boat blow up the mines! Cool! (screenshot)
Now climb into the other boat and go to the lever that opens the exit gate (which is timed). To get to it, go through the narrow waterway with the gates you just opened, under the white, stone bridge, down the next narrow waterway on the right, then left past two ledges and a bridge. Turn left and you'll come to a boathouse with an open door. Inside is a gunman...park up just outside the open door, go through, stand as soon as you can and take him out.
Take a look at the large ramp opposite the boathouse. At the top is a hallway with glass windows. This is where the Jade Dragon was, so if you didn't get it earlier, you can do so now.
Search the baddie you just killed for two sets of M-16 clips, the press the button in the room to open the big doors. The timer starts once you start your boat up the ramp, so take your time to line the boat up on the left side of the ramp before you start to drive for the exit*. Then, drive over the ramp, up the large ramp ahead (keeping 'action' pressed the whole time for speed), crash through the windowed room, head straight under the white bridge, take the left corner, then right, through the narrow waterway where you opened the metal gates, turn right and head for the exit gates to end the level!
If you missed anything while playing the PC version, here is the savegame file with all kills, pickups and secrets.
¹When in a vehicle, pressing action will make it travel faster, but Lara will take some damage if it hits anything.
²To get out of the boat, press the 'jump' button and the direction in which you want to go.
³I go through an enormous amount of medipacks in this level! If you find yourself low on health after a confrontation, you may want to load your game in and try again to see if you can dispatch the villains without as much damage.
*If you want to cheat your way out, you can stop the timer from starting by parking your boat outside of the big doors then swimming under them and then back out again . If you do it this way, all you need to do when you reach the area with the canals is retrieve the secret (if you didn't get it before) and detonate the mines - all of the other stuff is simply to open up the gates that enable you to do the timed sequence of events to exit the level.
