Escape with the Iris - Atrium with Sniper and Secret #3
After obtaining secret #2 in the shattered aquarium, as shown in the previous section, Lara ran into this THREE-TIERED ATRIUM.
Follow the ramp up to the middle level.
When you do, the view shifts to show Lara is being targeted by a sniper. Avoid the laser-trapped doors and run to the right, around the edge of the room...
...taking care not to run off the edge of the walkway.
Climb the bars to the left of the big, wooden doors. (Lara is safe for the moment as she climbs.)
Dismount on the ledge above on the right.
Run around to the other side of the upper ledge (i.e., directly above the laser-trapped doors).
Press the button to deactivate the lasers and open those doors but don't drop down yet.
First, let the sniper help you get the third secret. Take a moment to top up Lara's health if necessary. (She's safe when standing near the button, but if her health is already very low, she may catch fire during the next maneuver.) Step to the middle right side of the slight depression in front of the button.
Flip to the right toward the wall-mounted fire extinguisher. Then quickly flip back toward the button. The sniper should shoot the fire extinguisher, blowing away a section of wall.
Flip back to the right.
Run into the alcove and pick up the golden rose (15) (214/239) (SECRET #3, 33/36). Roll and run back out.
Roll again to face the alcove, hop back, and grab the edge of the ledge. Drop down...
...and quickly run through the door you just opened. The sniper can no longer target Lara once she enters this hallway, but don't rush forward; there's more danger and an achievement/trophy ahead.
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 web store.)
