The Deck - Lower-Middle Deck and Overturned Hull

In the last section, we obtained the Gold Dragon secret in the swimming pool, along with a few other pickups on the UPPER-MIDDLE DECK. The deck below this one is actually two separate areas: one on the left, one on the right. If you want all the kills, look for a bad guy with a shotgun (23) below on the left, when facing out over the cavern. You can shoot him easily from above.

He isn't carrying any goodies, but if you do drop down there, you can return to the UPPER-MIDDLE DECK by dragging the wooden crate and using it for a boost.

When you're ready to continue, move out onto the narrow section of the UPPER-MIDDLE DECK, where it juts out toward the open cavern.

Drop down to the LOWER-MIDDLE DECK on the right side. Do not drop all the way down to the lower deck.

Move to the outer corner of the lower-middle deck. Save the game in case you miss any of the following jumps. Start by taking a running jump onto the rock formation with the wooden platform on top.

From there, take another running jump to grab the metal duct ahead; pull up.

Here the camera shifts to a wide-angle view of Lara's position and the overturned hull ahead.

Move to the higher end of the metal duct. Notice the Jade Dragon in the nearby cave, but don't go there yet. You'll have another chance to claim the secret soon with less backtracking. Instead take a running jump from the higher end of the duct across the wide gap onto the overturned hull.

Cross the top of the hull to the far side.

Stand near the middle of the sloping section. Turn around so Lara's back is toward the edge and the huge propeller is on her right.

Hang from the edge. Then let go and quickly grab the horizontal shelf below.

Traverse to the left until you can pull up onto the corner ledge.

Turn left and take a running jump into the opening in the cavern wall.

NOTE: If you miss any of these jumps and end up on the MAIN DECK or the CAVERN FLOOR, you won't immediately be able to climb back up. Instead, you'll need to reload your last save and try again. Or, use one of the alternate paths described in a footnote in the main walkthrough.
