The following walkthrough was created by Eldin to help other gamers who might be having trouble beating the Anniversary time trials.

Before you start, be sure to review the General Time Trial Tips & Strategy if you haven't done so already. You can also find the regular walkthrough for this level here.


Time Limit: 11:00

At the beginning of the level "Swan Dive Jump" through this hall to cover more ground quickly.



You can jump or dive from the wide ledge with the columns below directly into the water, saving a little time. Make sure to enable the Infinite Breath cheat and tap Interact as Lara swims to move faster.



There are a lot of enemies in this level. Most will continue to chase you if you don't kill them. So, as usual, choose your best weapon and enable one of the infinite ammo cheats if you've unlocked it.



For me this level is linear and there is not much to do. Focus on your main goal which is to complete Time Trial in time. The only thing that you will need to look for are enemies. Don't bother picking up unnecessary items, and avoid doing anything else that takes you off the main path to complete the level.



After you've activated the switch on the balcony, jump to the other side and as soon as Lara lands jump again down into the arena. Make sure to kill enemies.



Again use the "Swan Dive Jump" to cover more ground.



When using ladders, make sure to tap Interact to climb faster, just as you do to Fast Traverse on the walls and swim faster in the water.



I like this part, before the end of level. "Swan Dive Jump" all the way through this area you can ignore the bats as well. Who cares, Lara is almost impossible to catch when she is performing "Swan Dive Jump."



Time trial completed!
