Escape with the Iris - "30/10" and "Sweet Dreams" Achievements/Trophies

After retrieving secret #1 in the ELEVATOR SHAFT, as shown in the previous section, stand so the secret alcove is behind Lara. Grab the chain and climb nearly to the top.

When you glimpse a metal ledge behind Lara, climb up until Lara is hanging level with or just above the ledge. Then backflip onto it.

Turn right (so the open shaft is ahead and on Lara's left). Walk to the edge, hop back, then take a running jump and grab the horizontal pole ahead and slightly above. Release Action to land in the alcove on the other side of the shaft.

Now you need to jump from the alcove to grab the top edge of the elevator car. Start by positioning Lara with her back against the right wall of the alcove. Sidestep to the left so her left foot is at the edge.

Pivot slightly to the left.

Then press Look to check your angle. You want to grab the top of the elevator car just to the left of where it meets the wall. Quick-save.

Then take the standing jump, grab the edge, and pull up.

Ignore the trapdoor on top of the elevator car for now, and walk across the tops of the elevators to the far left to get some HK ammo (10) (209/239).

The "30/10" achievement/trophy requires you to "perform a full triple somersault dive." This is the perfect spot. Walk out onto either of the slightly angled square platforms between the elevator cars and the wall. Face the matching square ledge opposite and walk to the edge. (The spots marked with Xs in the screenshot above are good starting points.)

Quick-save (since Lara will die when she lands). Hold Walk then press and hold Forward + Jump + Roll together to swan dive off the edge and and immediately start somersaulting in the air.

Once Lara is airborne, you can release all buttons except Roll. Continue to hold Roll, and Lara should do two more somersaults...

...before landing in a bone-crunching heap at the bottom of the elevator shaft. When the notification pops, reload and pretend like that never happened.

Move onto the gray VCI box between the two elevators and face the trapdoor handle. (If you have Action Indicators enabled in the Options menu, you'll see the hand icon when Lara is in the right spot.) Press Action to open the well-camouflaged trapdoor.

Drop into the elevator car.

Press the buttons, approach the doors, and wait for them to open.

Quick-save again before venturing out. The next bit isn't difficult, but there is an achievement/trophy involved. There's a security guard in the hall to the left and, beyond him, more invisible lasers. (You can see them if you equip the headset and press Action.)

In the classic game, you could not use chloroform on this guard, but it does work in the remaster. So walk quietly out of the elevator and sneak up behind the guard.

Open your inventory, combine Cloth + Chloroform...

...and use them to knock him out.

He drops a large medipack (not counted as an official pickup). Taking it unlocks the "Sweet Dreams" achievement/trophy.

NOTES: The medipack is added to your inventory, but the total pickup count on the Statistics screen does not change. If you missed the cloth and/or chloroform earlier, ignore the guard and proceed directly to the second elevator.

Do not move past where the guard was stationed or Lara will run into the lasers. Instead, turn around, and use the button between the two elevators to call the second one.

Enter and save the game before using the buttons to ride up to a dangerous area.
