Wreck of the Maria Doria - Starting Area and Long Drop
Follow the passageway around the corner to a water-filled opening.
Jump in, swim to the far left corner...
...roll, and harpoon the scuba diver (1) who emerges from the passageway on the opposite wall.
Or, swim back up to the opening and shoot him with pistols from above. This can take a while.
Dive down to grab 2 bunches of harpoons (1-2) from the bottom.
NOTE: If you don't already have the HARPOON GUN, you'll get it here instead of one set of harpoons.
Take a breath. Then swim through the passageway where the diver came from to another room where you can climb out of the water.
Pick up a large medi pack (3) and top up Lara's health if necessary. Depending on how you make the next long drop, she'll lose between 1/5 and 2/3 of her health.
If you have plenty to spare, just slide backwards down the slope and grab the edge. Let go and fall through the cracked tiles...
...to the floor below.
- OR -
Alternatively, to conserve health, instead slide backwards down the slope and grab the edge. Then traverse all the way to the left.
Drop onto the breakaway tiles...
...and quickly roll...
...then jump to the left. (That is, press Jump + Left to flip to Lara's left. Since she's facing you, she will appear to jump to the right on screen.)
Immediately run forward, holding Action...
...so Lara grabs the edge of the tile in front of her, as the one she's standing on crumbles. As long as you don't pull up, the second tile will remain intact. Now drop to the floor.
This way Lara will take very little fall damage when she lands.
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.)
