Parisian Backstreets - Residential Neighborhood
After subduing the guard, retrieving the GANTRY GATE KEY, and climbing down the ladder, as shown in the previous section, Lara finds herself in this courtyard. If you've had enough, you can FINISH THE LEVEL by approaching the wooden doors opposite the ladder. Otherwise, turn so the ladder is on Lara's right and the wooden doors are on her left. Then head down the stairs ahead on the right.
There are some pickups in this area, but we'll get them shortly. For now, go through the wrought iron gate on the other side of the street from the stairs.
In the next alley, ignore the locked gate, the movable barrel, and the door at ground level for now. (That door leads back to the area with the chained dog.) Proceed to the end of the alley, climb the stairs, and follow the short hallway...
...to emerge back in the STARTING AREA, near the illuminated green sign. Climb the ladder and dismount on the left.
Then follow the walkway around to the open window. Climb inside...
...and use the CROWBAR to open the padlocked cabinet. Search inside to find a necklace (11), which you can sell later for cash. If you missed the cash, chocolate, and doubloons earlier (3-4), you can get them now. Climb back out the window.
Climb down the ladder and return through the doorway under the green sign.
Back in the alley with the wrought iron gates and movable barrel, follow the tutorial to grab the barrel and pull it under the drainpipe.
Climb onto the barrel, then climb the drainpipe...
...and traverse to the left...
...until you can pull up onto a ledge with a box of V-packer standard cartridges (12). (It'll be a while before you get the gun, but hey, it's fun to collect things.)
Turn around, walk to the edge, jump forward, and press Action to grab the wires running across the alleyway.
Traverse to the right and press Action to drop onto the ledge with the COURTYARD KEY (13).
Take the key, safety drop to the ground, then use the key to open the wrought iron gate just to the left. Press Action again to open it, then go through.
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.)
