Venice - Boat Lock Between First and Second Areas

After retrieving the Silver and Gold Dragon secrets, and killing 2 rats (or not), as shown in the previous section, return to the motorboat and head for the far left corner DARK ROOM WITH MANY SQUARE PILLARS.

Here you'll find a wooden ledge with a small door, a window, and a ladder going up. Maneuver the boat into the flooded alcove to the right of the ladder. Note the lever high on the left wall. This alcove is actually a lock, which will raise your speedboat up to the next area.

Hop out of the boat, swim to the ledge, and climb out of the water. There's a rat (9) on this ledge as well; kill it quickly before it can bite Lara.

The door doesn't open, so shoot out the window and continue firing to dispatch the thug (10) in the next room.

Grab his automatic pistol clips (10) and the shotgun shells (11) in the dark corner near the door. Pull the switch to close the boat lock doors and raise the water level. (There's a sound of rushing water.)

Go back out the window and climb the ladder.

Jump in the water and pull the lever, which is now submerged, to open the door leading to the next area (L on the map).
