Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I open the door just outside of the main temple?

  • 1 of 9: This is another one of those puzzles that can't be solved until you do a fair amount of exploration of the level first.
  • 2 of 9: Wait until you can get through the underwater gate near the base of the waterfall.
  • 3 of 9: Explore the area beyond there and look for a Silver Key.
  • 4 of 9: Go through the gate and turn to your right when you reach a fork in the path. A switch at the end of that area will open a door that closes behind you as well as a door that's at the other end of the fork.
  • 5 of 9: Go through the doors you just opened and keep heading down the passages until you find a room with a large ball in the ceiling.
  • 6 of 9: You want to get on the center pillar of that room.
  • 7 of 9: Start by climbing up a short pillar along the wall.  You can then jump from pillar to pillar.  Keep going until you see a way onto the center pillar.
  • 8 of 9: You will find it once you're on a wide ledge (as opposed to the smaller pillars).  The ball will be slightly to one side, giving you a clear jump at the pillar.
  • 9 of 9: From the pillar, jump to get to an area overlooking the water.  The Silver Key will be on a pillar above the water.
