Diving Area - Square Hallway and First Flamethrower
This page covers the alternative strategy for this area, without letting Lara catch fire. Follow this link for the "Fire Safety" achievement/trophy.
Beyond the BLUE LOCK, detailed in the last section, is a large hallway forming a square around a central room. The inner door closes behind Lara as she enters. Enemies approach from both directions. Start by heading to the right.
Ready the shotgun as you approach the next corner...
...and use it to put down the first 2 Dobermans (7-8).
Roll and run back the way you came.
Do the same for another pair of dogs (9-10) that approach from around the next corner, beyond the entrance.
Once you've dealt with the dogs, switch back to pistols (or auto pistols or Uzis), get a lock on the guy with the flamethrower (11) who follows behind the dogs. Hop back while firing...
...to make sure his flames don't reach you.
Then follow the square hallway around to the side farthest from the entrance. Open the wheeled hatch.
Head down the stairs. A thug with a club (12) is waiting inside on the right. It's hard to fight in the cramped stairway, so run into the room...
...roll, and then back away firing. (You can probably do this with pistols, but the shotgun is quicker.)
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.)
