Tomb Raider 2 Hints

Is there any way past the large propeller in the ground?

  • 1 of 11: The way to get past the propeller is not immediately obvious.  Just explore this level for a while, and you should eventually find the way past it.  If you can't figure it out, read ahead for a more detailed explanation.
  • 2 of 11: Look for a pool of water beneath some openings near the entrance to the level.
  • 3 of 11: Dive into that, and then climb out onto a ledge where you will find a Stern Key.  Get it, then take an underwater passage back up to the ground level here.
  • 4 of 11: You will find the door that requires the Stern Key behind some boxes.
  • 5 of 11: There is a stack of two boxes and two single boxes against a metal surface. The door is behind the bottom of the two boxes in that stack.
  • 6 of 11: You will need to start by pushing the top box off the stack.  And you can't do that unless you have a place to stand and a place to push the box.
  • 7 of 11: Push both of the single boxes so that they are adjacent to the stack.  You can then push the second box off to the side on the right (as you're facing the metal structure).
  • 8 of 11: Then, pull the boxes that are now free toward the left, and you'll find the door.  Unlock it with the Stern Key.
  • 9 of 11: Go in the water and pull the lever that's underwater.  This will open a trap door that's in the way of a ladder back on the level of the ship closest to the ground.
  • 10 of 11: Go through that trap door.  You will find another switch in the passageway below it.  The switch will drain the room behind the Stern Key door.
  • 11 of 11: You will now be able to move a box in the stern to reveal a passageway that takes you past the propeller and into the next section of the level.
