Tibetan Foothills - Frozen Pool, Drawbridge, and Hut Key
After collecting the DRAWBRIDGE KEY, as shown in the last section, drive the snowmobile into the cave with the wide, white slope.
Race along the right side of the pit. Use turbo to keep from sliding off the edge and avoid the remaining snowballs.
Continue through the low-ceilinged tunnel.
NOTE: In the low-ceilinged area, there's a wooden gate and a switch to open it. This tunnel leads to an opening overlooking the pit where you dodged the snowballs. I mention it to be thorough, but you won't need to use it if you follow this guide. It does feature in the "Tibet on Foot" walkthrough.
Proceed through the low-ceilinged tunnel to large cavern with a frozen pool in the middle of the floor.
There's a key under the ice, but you can't reach it yet.
Use the DRAWBRIDGE KEY in the lock at the base of the drawbridge to raise it.
NOTE: If you missed the DRAWBRIDGE KEY, details on backtracking are in a footnote after the main walkthrough.
Head up the ramp...
...and cross the bridge either on foot or by snowmobile. Turn left...
...and cross the ledge beyond the little "Avalanche" pictogram sign, moving quickly to avoid the avalanche.
If you go on foot, keep moving, using running jumps to cover ground faster. Then pause just before you reach the doorway...
...and wait for the last snowballs to settle.
As you enter the snowy cave ahead, the screen shakes as the snow tumbles down, blocking the opening behind you. Continue to a deep pit.
If you drove the snowmobile this far, be sure to drive it out along the right edge of the pit. If you leave it here, you won't be able to reach it later.
- OR -
If you came on foot, jump onto the sloping ledge on the left side of the pit, slide back, and grab the edge.
Then traverse across the pit to the other side. Drive or run down the slope on the left...
...to emerge near the DRAWBRIDGE.
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.)
