As with my TR1 and TR2 playlists, I feel these restraints are more inline with Lara's character as a Lady of High Standing and Reputation.
Getting this game running properly is a right mess. See the first TR3 video description for the details.

(*please note, dark areas in-game are dark regardless of any changes here. Don't complain about the black areas - you're supposed to use flares. But this is a Pistols Only run so you're argument is invalid)
Notes:
~Terrible level. So much is gated behind guards locking doors, even the first secret. Most guards can be neutralised before they get to the alarms - some harder than others. One guard, you literally have to wait for his head to turn to the side so you can dash in a room to get the loot. It's possible to still make it if he sees Lara, but it makes getting out of the room difficult as he'll get in the room while Lara's trying to get out.
~Straight after that guard, is the outdoor bit and trying to get secret 1. There is no way to shoot the guard fast enough with pistols before he locks the secret, so you have to go for the secret first. It would be easy, except there's another guard that magically appears once you drop Lara down the grate, and then there's the problem of dodging him and crawling. But it is do-able.
~The secrets are all rubbish in this level. Every single one is a stupid crystal. I loathe not being able to load up this game without crystals. They are COMPLETELY redundant, and unrealistic. And GIGANTIC. And I'd much rather be getting more loot. Hell, I prefer the statuettes from TR2. Artefacts, even. Anything except gigantic final fantasy-esque crystals.
~There are a few black areas. The first is the crawlspace with the laser grid. There is a health pack in there on the left. The easiest way to get it is to have Lara stay in the centre. As you can see from emerging afterwards, there is room to stand, so run up against the far wall, tap back once to move a full block back, then tap forward once to bring Lara to the centre of the block. Then you just tap action to pick the item up. If you're not sure if she did, check inventory before and after. No flare required!
~The second instance is in the room with the alien on the table. As per usual the item is in the centre of a square segment of art, in the left corner if you look through the cinematic camera, so it's just a matter of lining Lara up in the centre. I kept the cinematic camera active in this instance. It's enough that you can see her crouch and pick up the item, as the camera bobs down then up.
