~ Pacifist where possible
93% overall Golden Mask accuracy

As with my TR1 playlist, I feel these restraints are more inline with Lara's character as a Lady of High Standing and Reputation.

Played on Arsunt's tr2main v0.9.0
No cutscenes for Golden Mask.

*contrast, shadow and black reverted to default for dark areas, but even then it didn't help much.

Notes:
~The black areas were actually black before I started messing with the light levels, so there's a cheap trick to help you find your way in the dark if you don't care about accuracy - just keep shooting your pistols. The shots illuminate the immediate area. I confess I did this once or twice near the opening and closing trapdoor section, off to the side in the bushes. And reloaded ;) Hey, if the cats can run around on burning hot liquid gold and trees grow in it just fine, then I can sneak in some reloads.

Actually, I pressed the look button way too often in Kingdom, so there are a couple of cuts you might notice.

~Once again, big birb needs to be killed to finish the level, which is a shame as you'd expect the mask to be Lara's end goal. Hopefully she's able to reacquire it afterwards.

~One warrior has a pickup. I backtrack for him after meeting the other three. My take on this is that Lara got a quest from those 3 warriors to find and eliminate the tribe's local criminal, plotting some terrorist action. So by killing him we do the tribe a favour.
