Opera House - Flooded Basement - Circuit Board
In the last section we repaired the ELEVATOR, rode down to the GROUND FLOOR, and killed a couple of angry cultists. Now, pull the switch to send the elevator back up.
Drop into the flooded elevator shaft and face the wall with the ladder. Swim down then to the left.
Follow the submerged steps upward, around the corner to the left...
...then left again
Surface in the room at the top of the steps and turn right.
Wade forward and pick up the CIRCUIT BOARD (29) that you glimpsed earlier through the floor of the room above.
Swim back down the flooded steps the way you came.
When you reach the wooden part of the steps, if Lara's air meter is at least half full, proceed through the doorway in the brick wall ahead. (If you need air, instead turn right here and get air at the open elevator shaft. Then swim back to the doorway in the brick wall.)
In the next room, turn right, swim forward, and pull the lever...
...to open the grating nearby. Swim through and and up to the surface.
You're now at the bottom of the VERTICAL SHAFT WITH STAGGERED LEDGES, where you explored earlier on your way to the DRESSING ROOM. If you didn't already kill the rat (20, counted earlier) on the ledge ahead, climb out of the water and do it quickly.
Turn around, shoot another rat (21, earlier) on the ledge above if it isn't already dead. Then take a standing jump to grab that ledge and pull up.
Turn around, jump, grab, and pull up onto the next ledge.
Repeat to get to the next higher ledge.
Then vault onto the next low ledge to re-enter the main auditorium on LEVEL 3.
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.)
