Trajan's Markets - Behind the Round Door -
Second Rat Swarm for "Tail Innocence" Achievement/Trophy
After retrieving the first secret, as shown in the previous section, cross the open area and go through the middle doorway.
At the top of the first ramp...
...you'll see where the huge door rolled aside to the right.
On the left is a raised opening. Climb up and drop into a small room with lit torches.
If you're after the "Tail Innocence" achievement/trophy, quick-save before proceeding. You will need to avoid taking damage from the next rat swarm.
Use the CROWBAR to pry out the GOLDEN COIN (12) (45/239).
When you do, rats swarm out from behind the grate. Immediately roll...
...run forward, veering slightly left, and jump up to grab the edge of the raised opening.
Hang near the middle of the ledge, while the rats swarm around you. (You may have better luck if you traverse to the left side of the opening and hang there. I didn't notice much difference.) Most of the time, they will do no damage, but watch carefully.
If the health bar flashes on screen, it means Lara has been bitten. If you want the achievement, reload and try again.
When the rats disperse, climb back up and drop down into the hallway with the ramps. Go through the doorway on the left.
Pick up a small medipack and revolver ammo (13-14) (46-47/239). Then place the GOLDEN COIN in the receptacle in the base of the statue.
Cutscene: A gate opens elsewhere.
Return down the ramps...
...and proceed directly across the courtyard through the gate that just opened. This leads back out to the COBBLED STREET at the beginning of the level.
Now the first small gate in the white stone wall on the left is also open.
Go through and follow the alley forward and around the next corner.
On the left is a pool and a doorway resembling a face with a huge open mouth. Pass by for now and continue to the end of the street...
...where you'll find some revolver ammo (15) (48/239). Backtrack to the pool you passed a moment ago and take a swim.
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.)
