Offshore Rig - Secret #3 (Gold Dragon) to Level Exit
In the last section, we made our way along the catwalks and picked up the GREEN PASS CARD. We're now directly above the concrete footing with the Gold Dragon. To get it without a single bruise, dive into the pool.
NOTE: Watch out for the 2 scuba divers (13-14) if you didn't kill them earlier. Either use the harpoon gun to fight them in the water or swim to the next footing first (as shown below), climb out, and shoot the diver(s). Then go for the secret.
Pull up onto the footing at one of the corners nearest the dragon.
Then run past the dragon and straight off the opposite edge to spawn 2 enemies with clubs (18-19) on the other side of the wide column. Swim to the next footing...
...climb onto it, and shoot the bad guys across the water.
Swim back and pick up SECRET #3, the Gold Dragon (26), along with the UZIS and 2 sets of clips if you've found all secrets (27-29), and a small medipack (30), dropped by one of the rig workers.
NOTE: If you missed a secret along the way and don't unlock the UZIS here, fear not; there will be other opportunities.
When you're ready to go, swim to the footing in the diagonally opposite corner of the room from the Gold Dragon. Climb out and jump to grab the ladder on the wall.
Climb up, dismount on the right, and follow that catwalk to the end. Then make your way across the catwalks to the exit. First, take a running jump to grab the next catwalk.
Pull up and continue to the end of the L-shaped ledge (where you killed a guy and took his SHOTGUN earlier).
Take a running jump to the next ledge.
Follow it around to the end and take another running jump to the ledge below the exit. Climb into this opening.
Follow the passageway up a series of ramps...
...to a ladder. Climb to the top of the ladder...
...and continue to a hole in the floor. Draw the shotgun, step off the edge...
...and shoot the rig worker (20) who tries to club Lara in the narrow passageway below. Take his small medi pack (31) and proceed down the ramp into the room with the GREEN LOCK.
Use the same switch you used earlier to drain the first pool and refill the second. Then use the GREEN KEY CARD in the GREEN LOCK to open the door. (Do not drop into the open trapdoor. It's not dangerous, but you won't be able to climb back out, so you'll have to make your way back through the big room with the catwalks again.)
Exit through the door you just opened...
...and head down the steps to the left. Jump in the pool and swim through the opening on the far side.
Follow the long, flooded passageway. When you reach the grate, pull the lever to open it and continue until you can surface.
Head up the stairs to the next level.
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.)
