Kingdom - Secret #3 (Gold Skull)
In the last section, you dropped through a trapdoor then climbed into this side area with GOLDEN SLOPES AND FOUR GOLD 'WATERFALLS.' To reach the secret, you'll need to work your way around the golden slopes counter-clockwise from the entrance to the square, orange-gold panel on the opposite side of the room...
...not the ornate gold door in the upper right corner, which is the exit from the secret area.
This screenshot shows an overview of the route. Each step is detailed below.
Start by stepping off the orange ledge and sliding down to the flat spot below on the right (1).
Take a running jump across the flowing stream of gold to the next flat ledge (2).
Position Lara at the center of this ledge and turn about 45 degrees to the left. Take a standing jump down to the more or less flat tile in the middle of the golden slope (3).
Turn so the pool of molten gold is ahead and to Lara's left. Step back as far as you can. Then take a standing jump down to the flattish spot two tiles ahead (4).
Next, set up and take a running jump onto the angled block on the other side of the golden stream, one square higher and to the right (5). Do not press Action while in the air or Lara will fall short.
Turn right to face uphill. Walk to the top left corner of this block and take a standing jump up to the flat ledge to the left of the golden waterfall (6).
Turn left, so the gold door at the top of the slope is straight ahead. (This is the exit from the secret area.) Walk forward to the left corner of this ledge, then take a standing jump up to the flattish spot just to the left of the slope (7).
Take a running jump from there down to the flat ledge (8) just to the right of the orange-gold wall panel. (Or, instead walk to the top of the flattish spot, jump forward to land on the slope near the wall, and slide down onto the flat ledge, as shown by the blue arrows.)
Move to the edge near the wall and take a standing jump toward the panel, which shatters as Lara passes through it.

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 official add-on/extension site.)
