In the previous section, we traversed along an overhead cable and unlocked a strength upgrade in the process.
Walk to the right end of the ledge beneath the cable.
Now check your inventory to see if you have a CROWBAR (or two) from the PARISIAN BACKSTREETS level.
If you do have a CROWBAR and don't care about missing one pickup, climb all the way down the drainpipe to the flat roof below. Skip the next section and pick up the walthrough below.
- OR -
If you don't have a CROWBAR, or just want all pickups, climb halfway down the drainpipe and step onto the narrow ledge in front of the open window. There's a security guard (11) on patrol inside. Wait for him to head down the corridor to the left. Then quick-save just in case.
Climb in through the window and either sneak up behind him and punch him out...
...or just shock him.
Take the LOUVRE GUARD'S KEY (5) he drops.
Return to the open window, climb out, and drop to the ground.
Climb the metal stairs in the middle of the glass roof, open the mesh door, and continue down the steps on the other side.
Turn right, run forward, and break down the bluish metal door. (Lara is unable to do this before getting the previous upgrade.)
There are some bandages (6) inside.
Lara can break down the other metal door, opposite this one, but there's nothing inside. So return through the mesh door to the drainpipe.
Climb past the open window to the top. Traverse to the right and pull up onto the ledge.
Move forward carefully. Then jump onto the perpendicular ledge with the iron railings.
Follow this ledge all the way to the end of the building. If you already have a CROWBAR, skip to opening the storage cage, below.
- OR -
If you don't have a CROWBAR or just want all pickups—because who doesn't feel stronger carrying around 8 kilos of hardened steel?—climb down the ladder near the storage cage and go to the right. Unlock the blue door using the LOUVRE GUARD'S KEY.
Enter and get a CROWBAR (7). Exit, go right, and climb back up the ladder.
Use the CROWBAR to break the lock off the storage cage door.
Go inside, climb up on the whatever-it-is, and crawl through the duct.
Climb down the yellow ladder...
...and continue to an opening in the floor. Drop into a storeroom.
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.)
