Tibetan Foothills - Canyon with Two Ramps - Secret #2 (Jade Dragon) and Drawbridge Key
In the last section, we made our way through the caves to this wide gap with ramps on both sides. Before making the big jump, let's explore a bit.
SECRET #2, the Jade Dragon (13), is sitting on a ledge to the right, just beyond the mouth of the cave. Take a running jump to land on that ledge.
When you approach the dragon, 2 leopards (16-17) appear on the ramp where you left the snowmobile. You may be able to shoot them across the gap, before or after grabbing the dragon. If they retreat into the cave, jump back across to get their attention. Just be careful not to fall into the canyon as you fight.
NOTE: There are some grenades in a shallow pit on the floor of the canyon. Ignore them for now.
Get back on the snowmobile, face the ramp leading up to the wide gap above the canyon and gun the engines. This time, you'll definitely need the turbo boost (Forward + Action) to get across.
On the other side of the gap, ignore the ice ladders leading down to the canyon floor. Get off the snowmobile and enter the cave on foot.
Walk out along the edge of the next chasm to trigger the avalanche.
Jump onto the slope where the snowballs just passed, slide back, and grab the edge. More snowballs will roll past on your left.
Climb down the ice ladder to the top of the opening in the wall. Let go then press Action again to grab the ledge below.
Climb into the cave and take the DRAWBRIDGE KEY (14). Drop through the hole in the floor...
...and follow the tunnel to a thin wall of ice. Draw weapons and Lara will automatically target the gunman (18) on the other side.
When he's dead, continue up the slope to the next room. Walk cautiously forward...
...to trip the icicle trap (8/19 for the "Public Service" achievement/trophy). Jump over the icicles and pull the switch to open the gate above.
Go through the gate to emerge in the canyon where you made the long snowmobile jump earlier.
Climb down and cross the canyon floor to the opposite corner. Drop into the shallow pit to find 2 pairs of grenades (15-16).
This pit is directly below the ledge where you found the Jade Dragon earlier. If you missed it before, you can climb the ice ladder to reach it or get it later on the way back.
When you drop into the pit, 3 leopards (19-21) start prowling the canyon floor. If you like, you can kill them with pistols from inside the pit by jumping in place while firing. Or, climb up, fire away, then hop back into the pit when they approach.
Cross the canyon again and climb the ice ladder next to the opening where you came in.
Climb onto the ledge at the top of the ladder. Then hop down on the right near your snowmobile.
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.)
