Tomb Raider 2 Hints
How do I get through the underwater passage just past the burners?
1 of 5: Just like getting past the burners, this is another one of those puzzles that's pretty simple in concept but more difficult in execution. The hatch that you went through to get into the passage will shut behind you, leaving you only a little time to open up the end of the passage before your air supply runs out.
2 of 5: You might want to start by shooting the fish before you get in the water, since it will just make your life more difficult if you have to fight with it when you're underwater and your air supply is running low.
3 of 5: As you go up from room to room once you're in the passage, successive exits are likely to be "behind" you when you first enter a room. I recommend that you do a slow spiral up through each room -- that is, start turning around to face the next exit as you're moving up. That should help you reach the top a little more quickly.
4 of 5: Once you're at the top, flip a switch that will open a gate back at the bottom of this passage.
5 of 5: Then, flip the switch beyond that gate to open the exit at the top of this passage.
