The Vault of Trophies - The Last Obscura Painting
After dealing with the knights, return to the LIBRARY and examine the book on the worktable to unlock 3 notebook entries (52-54/62) about Eckhardt, the Black Alchemist. (All entries are tracked on the separate page about Von Croy's Notebook.)
Pull the lever to the right of the fireplace...
..to gain an upper-body strength upgrade and open a secret compartment behind one of the bookcases to the left.
Here you'll find some bandages (4).
Once Lara is strong enough, head for the far end of the room, and pull the chain to the left of the large tapestry.
This raises the tapestry, revealing a climbable wall.
Climb upward and to the right.
Grab onto the horizontal crevice, traverse around to the right, and pull up onto the wooden ledge.
Turn to face out over the room and jump straight up to grab the metal grating. Monkey swing out toward to the middle of the room and drop onto the grating platform.
Turn left, grab the overhead grating again...
...and traverse out toward the chandelier.
At the end of the beam, drop onto the small platform.
Lara's weight operates a mechanism, opening another secret compartment below.
Safety drop to the floor and go to the compartment...
...to get the LAST OBSCURA PAINTING (5).
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.)
