Venice - Secrets #1 and #2 (Silver and Gold Dragons)

After unlocking the "Let's Saddle Up" achievement/trophy (or not), as shown in the previous section, drive the motorboat through the door in the chain-link fence that you opened earlier.

On the right, just beyond the entrance, is a small passageway (J on the map). Steer the boat alongside it and press Jump + Right to hop out of the boat into the passage.

NOTE: Since flares are limited at this early stage, you can try to conserve them by saving your game before entering dark areas. Then you can use as many flares as you like during your initial exploration. Once you know where key items are located, reload your save and head straight toward them, using only as many flares you need. If you run out of flares, try turning up the brightness on your monitor or fire your basic pistols for light.

Here you'll find SECRET #1, the Silver Dragon (5), plus some flares (6).

Just beyond the flares is a ladder leading down and 2 rats (7-8) on the ledge below. You must avoid taking damage from rats during the three Venice levels if you want the "No Time for the Plague" achievement/trophy. You can just avoid these two rats and not miss any pickups. But if you do want to kill them, you'll have a better angle shortly..

Hop back in the boat and continue through the dark tunnel.

Turn right then drive over a small waterfall.

On the bottom of the pool below the falls is SECRET #2, the Gold Dragon (7) (K on the map).

After retrieving it, hop back in the boat and take the only exit from this room into a room with many pillars.

Underwater, just to the left of the entrance, are 2 sets of Uzi clips (8-9, two items in one pickup).

On the right is the ledge with the 2 rats (7-8). Again, you can just ignore them, but if you want all kills, climb out of the water at the right end of the ledge...

...and quickly shoot them before they bite Lara.
