Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I get to the upper ledges in the room just past the burner room?

  • 1 of 7: There is another room off to the side of the one that you first enter when you're coming from the underwater section.  Head to the room on the side first.
  • 2 of 7: There is a switch in the first room that you can flip to open the door into the second.  You can reach it pretty easily by jumping over the ramps.
  • 3 of 7: Now, in the second room, notice the two switches against the wall where the door is.  These will lower some metal ledges for a very short time.
  • 4 of 7: You want to head for those ledges and then slide over until you can get onto more stable footing.
  • 5 of 7: Start by pulling the switch on the right and then the one on the left (as facing the wall).  Then turn around quickly and do a running jump to grab hold of the ledge on the other side of the room.  If you're quick enough, you should be able to slide over to your right to reach another switch before the ledges fall and send you to your death.
  • 6 of 7: If you do get to the switch in time, flip it, and it will raise a trap door that formed a portion of the ledge in the first room.  You should then be able to get through where the ledge used to be with some creative jumping.
  • 7 of 7: There are two small ramps underneath the trap door.  Stand in between them and face the one in the corner.  Then, get as close as possible to that ramp and jump backwards.  You should land on the other ramp.  Jump forward immediately, and grab hold of the ledge.  You can then climb up and jump over the area opened by the trap door, and you'll be on the upper level.
