Floating Islands - Room with Lava Walls (Continued)
After defeating the last 2 petrified swordsman, as shown in the previous section, pull up on the angled wall to the right of the opening where the cable comes in and backflip onto the platform above.
- OR -
If you prefer, reposition the green carved block and use it to reach the platform.
Throw the switch on the square column to drop a second stone block into the gap in the floor.
Drop down from the platform taking care to avoid the flying blades.
Approach the danger pit running along the middle of the room. Safety drop onto the block in the lava below, taking a tiny bit of fall damage in the process.
- OR -
If you prefer, instead drop onto the block steps at the end of the pit, near the blade shooter, staying close to the wall.
Position Lara on the lower block with her back against the higher one. Then take a standing jump onto the block you dropped into the lava.
Flip the switch in the alcove...
...to open a trapdoor in the lava pool above.
Climb out of the pit by jumping over the lava to grab the edge of the step below the blade shooter. Stay close to either wall as you pull up and climb out of the pit.
Climb back up to the switch platform...
...then onto the wall above the lava pool, where you'll find 2 sets of M16 clips (15-16).
From there, take a running jump with Action to sail through the trapdoor and land in the water below. Or do a running swan dive: Set up a running jump as usual, then run forward and tap Walk just before jumping. More challenging but also more stylish.
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.)
