Red Alert! - Glass-Walled Hallway and "Miss Croft" Achievement/Trophy
After obtaining the first KEY BIT and exiting the room with the angled ducts, as shown in the last section, you return to the intersection with the laser-trapped doorways. The lasers that were blocking the doorway opposite the crawlspace are now deactivated, but do not rush forward. The helicopter is waiting just ahead. You'll need to run under fire to the corner room at the end of this GLASS-WALLED HALLWAY, then on to a button behind the bar in the next room. (The path is indicated by the light blue arrows on the map in the main walkthrough.) If you can make the first leg of that run, from the crawlspace to the corner room, without taking damage, you'll unlock the "Miss Croft" achievement/trophy. Tips follow.
IMPORTANT: Do not shoot the yellow fuel tanks beforehand. This will make the no-damage run next to impossible.
BUG NOTE: Also, do not go up the ramp on the left yet (i.e., the doorway before the first set of yellow fuel tanks). Prematurely exploring this area may result in a bug that prevents you from finishing the level.
Quick-save, since this may take a few attempts. As you start forward, the helicopter begins firing. If you move quickly, you should be able to keep ahead of it.
Take a series of running jumps along the left wall. Do not pause at all, especially near the yellow fuel tanks.
If any of them are hit by stray bullets, they'll explode, injuring Lara and creating a pit in the floor, making it impossible to climb out without taking damage.
As you approach the last set of yellow tanks, on the left side of the hallway, steer around them. Continue running without jumping...
...so Lara doesn't bang her head on the doorway at the end of the hall.
If you reach the GREEN-TILED CORNER ROOM without taking damage, "Miss Croft" should unlock.
NOTES: You can save again here. Just don't overwrite the save from when you first entered this area.
Now, If you want all pickups, continue with the next section.
If you don't care about getting all pickups, skip the next section and continue to the GLASS-WALLED BAR. Pick up the walkthrough here. It is possible to get the pickups after pressing the button behind the bar, but it's easier beforehand.
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.)
