Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I open the locked door off the dock near the minefield?

  • 1 of 7: You will need the Iron Key to unlock that door.
  • 2 of 7: The key is hidden behind another door elsewhere in this level.  As with a lot of the doors, the switch to open this one will be in a seemingly unrelated location.
  • 3 of 7: Look for a dock just past a pair of gondolas and before a fence blocking further travel down the canal.  Climb onto this dock and a guard will come out to attack you.
  • 4 of 7: Fight the guard and get into the room that he came from.  The button to open the door hiding the Iron Key is in that room.
  • 5 of 7: Go into that room and take the key.
  • 6 of 7: The door will lock behind you, but you can climb up the walls to the room above.  Kill the guards waiting for you.
  • 7 of 7: Finally, jump out the door.  If you hang off the ledge first and then fall down, you will end up under the dock below you shortly after you hit the water.  This will give you a better chance to fight the guard waiting for you on the dock -- he can't shoot you through the dock, so you can climb out of the water and fight him before he can get off too many shots at you.
