Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I get across the pool of water with a block of concrete above it?

  • 1 of 9: Have you tried running and jumping to see if you can land on the block of concrete?
  • 2 of 9: When you first start this level, the block of concrete will be too far away for you to reach it.  Maybe you could find some controls to bring the concrete within jumping range.
  • 3 of 9: The key to doing so is behind you as you're facing the concrete block.
  • 4 of 9: There's also a movable crate that you can push around to reveal a circuit of some kind.
  • 5 of 9: It's missing a chip.
  • 6 of 9: You will find that chip past a locked door in another section of this level.
  • 7 of 9: Use the chip on the circuit in the wall, and a door next to the circuit will open.  Go through this door, and then jump in the water in this room and take an underwater passage into the room with the sub.  You'll find a switch in this room that will help you here.
  • 8 of 9: In particular, climb out of the pool which contains the sub.  (There's only one place that you can climb out -- the walls everywhere else are too high.) Then, climb the wall that you're facing just after you get out of the pool and pull the switch.  This will open a door to a guard room overlooking the pool of water.
  • 9 of 9: Go into that guard room and look for a switch in there.  That will move the crane that's holding the block of concrete.  You should then be able to run, jump, and grab to get onto the block, and then run and jump again to the other side of the pool.
