Tomb Raider 2 Hints

Where is the exit from this level?

  • 1 of 14: First, you want to go through the door near the temple entrance and through the door at the end of the long, steep slope in the room behind that door.
  • 2 of 14: From there, basically all that's required is some careful navigation past traps.
  • 3 of 14: There are two columns with serpents running around then.  You will need to get to both serpents -- the second one that you can reach has a flat ledge that leads to the ladder out of this room and therefore to the exit.  For a more detailed walkthrough of this section, keep reading.
  • 4 of 14: First, find the Main Chamber Key.
  • 5 of 14: Once you have the Main Chamber key, you need to head for the serpent wrapped around the other pillar.
  • 6 of 14: The Main Chamber Key will unlock the only lock in this room (on a ledge near the first set of spiked walls you crossed).  Use it to extend a ledge that lets you jump onto a ladder.
  • 7 of 14: Climb that ladder, jumping over some spikes at the top to another ladder, and you will find yourself back on the upper passageway that overlooks the pillar where you found the Main Chamber Key.
  • 8 of 14: You should also find that another gate has opened, letting you head toward the second pillar.  The second pillar runs from floor to ceiling -- unlike the Main Chamber Key one that stops part of the way up.
  • 9 of 14: You want to be careful not to slide down the second serpent.
  • 10 of 14: As you jump from the gate onto a series of ledges, you should eventually land on a sloping ledge in front of that serpent.  If you're not careful, this ledge will send you to the sloping part of the serpent.
  • 11 of 14: Instead, jump from that slope, and you will land on a flat section of the serpent.
  • 12 of 14: You can then climb onto a ladder that will lead to the exit.
  • 13 of 14: The only trick left is that you will need to jump off the ladder when you approach a blade above you.
  • 14 of 14: While holding onto the ladder, jump FORWARD.  You will jump off the ladder and do a twist in the middle of the air to land on the ladder behind you. Keep climbing to the exit.
