Bartoli's Hideout - Rear Entrance and Secret #1 (Silver Dragon)
In the last section we climbed around the side of the villa, jumped down into the open BACK DOOR, and killed a pair of aggressive dogs.
Continue to the top of the stairs and approach the open doorway on the right.
A masked thug with a gun (16) emerges. Kill him.
Then go into the room he came from. Turn around and locate the switch on the wall to the right of the entrance. (This switch is well camouflaged by the busy wallpaper.) Pull it to open the door at the top of the stairs.
Exit this room, turn right, and you'll see that door just ahead.
Go out onto the balcony, where you'll find the sniper you shot from the other balcony earlier. Take his shotgun shells (8) and SECRET #1, the Silver Dragon (9).
Return to the room with the switch and the floral wallpaper. Another of Bartoli's henchmen (17) is patrolling the balcony outside. Shoot out the window, climb up...
...and take care of him.
Relieve him of 2 sets of Uzi clips (10-11) then move to the other end of the balcony.
Shatter the window here and enter.
A goon with a club and a dog (18-19) come through the doors on the right when you hit the floor. Another enemy with a bat (20) enters through the window behind you. There's plenty of room to jump and dodge as you shoot. There's also a cloth-covered ledge on the right, where the dog can't reach you, but the men can climb as well as Lara can.
If you're struggling, you may want to switch to the shotgun. Hop down into the room, run forward, and take out the first man (two shotgun blasts) and dog (one more).
Then roll...
...and finish off the other man (two more blasts).
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.)
