Atlantean Stronghold - Shortcut #2 (variation)


To reach the level exit far below without losing any health, try this simple but not exactly "legal" variation on the fence bug. Position Lara at the corner where the two red lattice panels come together, indicated by the arrow in the screenshot above.


Turn so her chest is against the left lattice. Sidestep as far as possible to the right so Lara's right foot disappears into the wall.


Pivot 45 degrees to the right so she's facing directly into the corner. (You can also reverse the directions, but sidestepping then pivoting will ensure Lara is positioned correctly.) Then jump forward.


Thanks to the fence bug, Lara will go through the seam in the corner.


She'll then fall through the center hole and land in the pool on the lower level of the pyramid.

Thanks to Wes D. for suggesting this. I refined his technique a little.
