Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation Hints

How do I get past the flame traps near the room with the large pool?

  • 1 of 14: When you entered the large room, you may have seen a guard run for a lever and pull it.
  • 2 of 14: If you can find your way to the lever, you might be able to disable the flame trap.
  • 3 of 14: Getting to that lever requires doing the usual climbing and jumping and dropping and shimmying that you've seen quite a lot by now.  Pay careful attention to your surroundings and you may be able to find out where you can go.
  • 4 of 14: When you first get to the room, take a look to your west.
  • 5 of 14: There's a ledge dividing this large room into two.
  • 6 of 14: If you look down from that ledge, you should see several cracks running through the wall.  Those could probably help you here.
  • 7 of 14: You can drop off the west side of the ledge and then grab back onto a crack part of the way down.
  • 8 of 14: From there, shimmy to the right until you can go no farther, drop and grab onto another crack below, and repeat the process until your feet are in the water and a crawlspace is above you.  Climb up here.
  • 9 of 14: Slide out the other end of the crawlspace, and look below your feet before you let go.
  • 10 of 14: There's a sloping block just below you.
  • 11 of 14: You need to jump while you're sliding down that block, and then jump forward on a second block that you'll land on.  You can grab onto yet another crack after you jump from that second block.
  • 12 of 14: From there, shimmy along to the left until you can climb up.  Get the medipack that's there and then turn around and take a running jump to reach the space across the water.
  • 13 of 14: You should now be at the bottom of a staircase.  Go up that staircase to find the lever that will disable the trap.  (More accurately, the traps will turn on temporarily, but they'll turn back off when you approach them.)
  • 14 of 14: From here, you can drop down into the hallway with the flame traps and proceed to the next room.
