Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation Hints

What should I do in the area behind the southeastern gate?

  • 1 of 12: Start by jumping across the pit past the gate until you reach a hole in the floor leading to an underwater area.
  • 2 of 12: Then, save before you hop into the water.  What you'll see underwater is essentially a large maze.  Remember to keep getting air before you drown.  (A map to that maze is available later in these hints.)
  • 3 of 12: There is a series of rooms at the top of various portions of the maze.  You need to head through them in a specific order.
  • 4 of 12: That is, only one of the five rooms (not counting the room you took to get into the maze) is open when you first get into the maze.  Find that, then pull a switch in that room to open a door into a second room.  Keep doing this until you find a fifth room.
  • 5 of 12: The hieroglyphs underwater tell you the proper order of rooms to visit.
  • 6 of 12: Pay attention to the English letters that the hieroglyphs are supposed to represent.
  • 7 of 12: As you may have done before, use the Scrap of Paper that was on the ground out near the buttons.  (If you don't have it, you'll either have to restore to get it or keep reading these hints to find out what to do.)
  • 8 of 12: Each of the hieroglyphs is below a trap door.  Sort the hieroglyphs in alphabetical order, according to the English translations as given on the Scrap of Paper.
  • 9 of 12: That is, the five hieroglyphs represent the English letters of A, D, F, I, and J.  Visit them in this order.
  • 10 of 12: Start by heading to the A hieroglyph, and then turn up, where you'll find an open trap door leading to a room out of the water.
  • 11 of 12: Go into that room, and pull the switch there to open the trap door above the D hieroglyph.  Go through that door, and pull another switch.  Repeat until you get into the fifth room, where you'll find the switch opening the door back to the central area and a purple Stone of Atum.
  • 12 of 12: If you need the map to this area, here it is.  Note that I mapped out only the intersections in the maze to keep the map from getting too complicated -- both the "A" and "I" rooms are down slightly twisted paths from what's shown on the map, but there also aren't any major intersections down those paths.
