Tomb Raider 2 Hints
How do I open the trap doors at the bottom of a pool of water?
1 of 12: The trap doors will be opened (and the water from the pool drained) when you have solved another puzzle on this level.
2 of 12: Try to get the Tibetan Mask that's inside the cage at the top of a ramp in this room.
3 of 12: You can't climb the ramp that leads up to the Mask, but you can get to the other side of the cage by jumping from a nearby ramp.
4 of 12: But before you do that, you need to find the switch that opens the cage.
5 of 12: It's at the top of the second ramp (the one next to the one with the cage).
6 of 12: Again, you can't climb up the ramp from the bottom, so you're going to have to find some way of getting directly to the top.
7 of 12: Notice the ladder running above some spikes in one corner of this room?
8 of 12: You want to climb that ladder. You can reach it by pulling up on the collapsing floors next to it and then grabbing the ladder before the floor falls out from under you.
9 of 12: If you climb all the way to the top of the ladder, the ledge at the top of the second ramp will be just behind you.
10 of 12: Jump onto it.
11 of 12: You can do a backflip while on the ladder. Keep the ACTION key held and then press the JUMP key and the down arrow at the same time. This should place you on a ledge which has a switch to open the cage.
12 of 12: Run down the ramp and then jump forward to reach the Tibetan Mask. Once you have the Mask, the pool will drain and the trap doors will open.
