Bartoli's Hideout - Library and Uzis
"Bartoli Stash" Achievement/Trophy
In the last section, we collected some grenades and the Gold Dragon secret. Now use the LIBRARY KEY to unlock the big doors on the landing with the scattered books.
NOTE: If you missed the LIBRARY KEY, you'll have to backtrack for it now. See the note in the main walkthrough for details.
Enter with guns drawn.
The doors close behind you, and a thug with a club (28) comes out of the room ahead. If you run forward, get a lock on him, and back away shooting, you should be able to take him down before he reaches Lara.
Take the small medi pack (17) he's carrying. Then enter the room he came from.
Head to the back of the room and climb the bookshelf farthest from the entrance.
Turn around and shoot 2 rats (29-30) across the gap. (This way they can't reach Lara.) Jump across the gap, climb onto the low shelf, and flip the switch.
This opens one set of doors back in the main room. A bad guy (31) with a gun comes out.
Go down to meet him. If you're quick, you can confront him in the large room, where there's room to maneuver.
When he's dead, go into the room from which he came (on the right when facing the entrance). Climb the shelves just inside on the left.
Climb almost to the top and then press Jump to backflip onto the wooden ledge behind.
Here there are two windows, one above and one below. Climb on top of the bookshelf next to the windows.
Turn around and hop onto the higher windowsill (or carefully run across at the corner where the gap is smallest).
Shoot out the windowpane and walk out onto the sill.
Turn around, slide backward down the red awning, and grab the edge.
Pull up and quickly backflip onto the small balcony behind you. Don't drop down yet. We're going on an adventure.
Take a running jump to the orange-tiled roof below the awning, then jump onto the brick wall. From here, you can see a wooden BOATHOUSE across the canal.
Walk along the brick wall to the right end, where it slopes upward slightly.
Stand at the highest point and take a running jump across the canal to grab the edge of the BOATHOUSE roof at the right end, near where it meets the wall.
Pull up and head for the back of the roof.
Stand just to the left of the metal chimney and take a standing jump with Action onto the brick wall with the curved ceiling above. (Pressing Action lowers Lara's arc so she lands on the wall, rather than banging her head and falling into the canal.)
Drop down behind the wall into knee-deep water. On the floor are the UZIS (18).
This isn't an official secret, but finding the guns unlocks the "Bartoli Stash" achievement/trophy.
NOTE: If you miss any of the jumps and fall into the canal before getting the Uzis, either reload an earlier save, or continue following the main walkthrough. Then, when you get back inside the LIBRARY, climb the bookshelves to the high window with the red awning and try the whole thing again.
DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's official add-on/extension site.)
