Diving Area - Level Start and Room with Swinging Hooks
Climb the stairs...
...to a ledge overlooking a large pool. Don't go in the water yet, or Lara will be sucked into the huge fan. Instead take a running jump and grab the ladder on the opposite wall. Climb up...
...and follow the passage to the button that turns off the fan.
Return to the pool, dive in, and swim behind the fan...
...into a long tunnel, where you'll find 2 pairs of grenades (1-2).
Swim back to the pool and get air if necessary.
Use the underwater lever on the left wall to open the door on the landing ahead.
Climb out of the water, ready weapons, and continue into a ROOM WITH SWINGING HOOKS. There are 2 enemies with clubs (1-2) on the other side of the pool. If you draw weapons to aim at them, 2 thugs with guns and a Doberman (3-5) emerge from the doorway to the left on this side of the pool. You can avoid the enemies on the left altogether by not drawing weapons until you reach the other side of the pool. But if you want all the kills and pickups, run to the left...
...and take care of the gunmen and dog first. (Run forward, get a lock on one of them, flip/hop away, then repeat for the other two. Or, go ahead and whip out more powerful weapons.)
Pick up the shotgun shells and 2 sets of Uzi clips (3-5) they drop.
NOTE: If you didn't get the UZIS in the previous level, you'll get them now, along with one set of clips.
Then shoot the two men on the other side of the pool.
Cross the water by jumping across the blocks with the swinging hooks. Here's one way: Stand at the edge of the pool, facing the right block. As the hook swings away, take a standing jump and grab the edge of the block.
NOTE: If you fall into the water, there's a tunnel at the far end of the pool that leads back to the starting ledge.
Once you've grabbed onto the first block, traverse to the right and pull up out of the hook's way.
Turn left and when the hook moves away, take a running jump to grab the edge of the other block. (If you're having trouble lining up this jump, hang from the edge of the block, traverse left, then pull up. Lara should then be lined up perfectly for a running jump.)
Traverse all the way to the right before pulling up. This corner is safe from the second hook.
Turn right. Then take standing jump and grab the ledge on the other side of the pool. Pull up and follow the ledge to the right.
Kill the 2 guys with clubs (1-2), if you haven't already, and take the small medi pack and flares (6-7) they drop.
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.)
