Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I get through the area with a series of fans?

  • 1 of 12: In case you haven't found this area, the following hints might help.
  • 2 of 12: Basically, the only trick here is proper jumping.
  • 3 of 12: That is, when you're on a ramp sliding toward a fan, jump and grab onto the ledge above the fan, before you get sucked in and killed by the blades.
  • 4 of 12: Jumping forward won't always help you, though.
  • 5 of 12: You may need to try some backflips to get from ledge to ledge if there's a fan just underneath the ledge that you're trying to jump to.
  • 6 of 12: Turn your back to the fan and then jump backwards to get past those fans.
  • 7 of 12: If these hints don't help, read ahead for a walkthrough of this section of the level.
  • 8 of 12: Starting from the dressing room, slide down the first ramp and jump forward to the ledge with the Ornate Key.
  • 9 of 12: Then, climb up the blocks above this ledge until you reach a ramp sliding down to another fan.  Jump sideways onto the ramp, so you're facing this second fan, and then jump forward to get past that fan.
  • 10 of 12: Go around the corner, and you'll see yet another fan just below a ledge above you.  Turn your back to the fan, walk to the edge of the platform you're standing on, and then do a backflip.
  • 11 of 12: Repeat to get past another fan.
  • 12 of 12: You can then pull a movable box to reveal a switch that will open the door out of this area, back to the dressing room.
