Tomb Raider 2 Hints

Where is the key to the library?

  • 1 of 15: You found the entrance to the library by jumping up the chandeliers in this room.
  • 2 of 15: Try doing more of the same, and you'll find the key as well.
  • 3 of 15: From the lowest chandelier, do a running jump onto the middle chandelier.
  • 4 of 15: Then, just as before, jump to the ledge to one side.  You'll find a lever that you can pull to reveal an opening behind a painting, along one of the walls.
  • 5 of 15: There's no way to jump safely to the opening with the key the way things are in the room right now.
  • 6 of 15: You're going to have to keep going up to change things and reach the painting.
  • 7 of 15: Go back to the second chandelier and then jump up to the highest one.
  • 8 of 15: Then, concentrate on getting to the other side of the room.
  • 9 of 15: Grab the ledge, kill a couple of rats, and then head to the beam in the center of the room.
  • 10 of 15: Grab hold of that, slide to the right, and then climb on top when you can. From there, you will be able to jump onto a ledge on the opposite side of the room.
  • 11 of 15: You want to be on the other side of the beam from where you just were.
  • 12 of 15: Jump over the wall on this side of the room, and you can jump back onto the beam.  But you'll be on the other side of the center post that kept you from crossing the beam, and from here, you can pull a lever.  Take a look around to see what's changed.
  • 13 of 15: The chandeliers have changed positions.  The one that was lowest is now highest and vice-versa.
  • 14 of 15: You can jump from what's now the lowest chandelier to reach the Library Key in the alcove behind the painting.
  • 15 of 15: From there, you can go back up to the top chandelier and jump off to reach the ledge that takes you to the exit from this room.
