Croft Manor Library - Opening Secret Door


Return to the end of the balcony near the door to the reading room. There's a break in the railing ahead and a framed painting on the wall. Take a running jump to grab the top of the picture frame.


Lara's weight pulls it down, revealing a button. Wait for the painting to descend all the way. Then, while still hanging from the frame, lean away from the painting (as shown above) and jump to land on the balcony behind you.


Quickly turn and shoot the button before the painting moves back into place.

Here it may help to tap the center camera button to quickly move the camera behind Lara so you can see the target, but even if you can't see it, as long as Lara is facing it, she should hit it when you fire.

When you succeed, a concealed door opens near the bottom of the stairs.
