Tibetan Foothills - Open Area with Snowmobilers to Level Exit

After collecting the Gold Dragon secret and climbing back out of the pit, as shown in the last section...

...continue to the end of the tunnel.

There are 2 more snowmobilers (29-30) waiting at the bottom of the hill. Immediately climb on the rock wall to the right...

...and shoot them from above. (The M16 works nicely for distant targets, but you can also take your time and use pistols. Just back away from the edge when they drive by with guns blazing.)

- OR -

Alternatively, if you still have the black snowmobile from the previous area, you can use it to chase and shoot them down. Just point the nose of the snowmobile in their general direction and press Action to fire.

Proceed to the bottom of the hill, where you'll find a block of ice set into the wall behind the wide column. Push it twice.

If you don't care about getting all the kills, you can use a little trick when entering the next cavern. The next 3 enemies only spawn if you push the ice block a third time, jump on top of it, or jump through the V-shaped gap to the right of it. If you only push the block twice, jump onto the slope to the left of it...

...then go around it instead of over it, these enemies don't appear.

- OR -

If you do want all kills, either push the block a third time, climb over it, or jump through the V-shaped gap on the right.

Two thugs with guns (31-32) then appear inside on the right. Run out and deal with them.

Once you've moved past the block there's more room to maneuver as you shoot.

Then move forward to the drop-off and shoot another bad guy (33) below on the right.

Now you're headed for the pool at the bottom of the cavern. The quickest and coolest way down is to drive one of the snowmobiles over the edge.

Lara will jump off just before it hits the water. However, you do need to move the ice block a little farther into the cave to get the snowmobile inside. This will spawn the last 3 enemies, if you didn't already do so.

- OR -

To climb down to the pool, walk to the right side of the cliff edge.

Turn around, drop back, and grab the edge. Traverse all the way to the left wall then drop to the snowbank below.

Lara will slide to a stop on the snowy ledge. The enemy (33) in the cave isn't carrying anything, so you needn't bother going over there.

Instead take a carefully angled running jump off the corner of the snowy ledge into the water.

- OR -

Instead, turn around to face the cliff wall. Then safety drop from the left side of the ledge to the ice below.

Head for the small, stone ledge in the opposite corner and follow the passageway there to the next level.
