Return to Egypt - "Behind Cat's Eyes" and "Down the Rabbit Hole" Achievements/Trophies
Slide into the level. Approach the edge and the trapdoor opens, illuminating pair of cat statues in the two openings ahead. There are two easy but missable achievements/trophies at the start of this level. To get both, start by taking a running jump across the gap without pressing Action.
Climb/jump up into the right opening...
...and look down to find a large medi pack (1).
Picking it up unlocks the "Behind Cat's Eyes" achievement/trophy. Climb back through the eyehole...
...and return to the edge of the trapdoor. Notice the crocodile in the pool below and the sand bar on the far side. That's where you're headed. Swan dive off the edge (hold Walk and press Jump + Forward together)...
...to land gracefully in the pool...
...unlocking "Down the Rabbit Hole." Quickly swim forward to the sand bar and climb out of the water.
Do things look a bit familiar? That's right. It's TR1 and Khamoon all over again! If you're going for the "Crocodile Rock" achievement/trophy, do not shoot the croc, since this requires you to get all pickups without harming any crocodiles. Of course, if you don't care about achievements, or already have this one, you can use pistols to kill the croc from here.
NOTE: If you accidentally kill a croc or two before realizing this achievement exists, you can restart the level. Just drown Lara, allow the Passport menu to open, then page to the right for the Restart Level option.
On the far (north) side of the sand bar is another small pool. To get the items on the opposite ledge without attracting the 2 crocodiles (2-3 or 0)* lurking below, move out onto the jutting rock on the right side of the pool.
Walk out to the edge, so Lara is standing at the peak of the angled rock. Hop back once.
Then take a running jump, without pressing Action, to land on the long ledge with the small medi pack and magnum clips (2-3).
Jump in the pool and swim into the small, rectangular opening where the crocodiles came from.
Retrieve some shotgun shells (4) sitting on the bottom. Roll and quickly swim out of the cave...
...and up to the left.
Climb out onto the sand bar to avoid getting chomped.
*NOTE: The running kill counts track the total with or without crocodiles. You'll need to avoid harming any crocs for the "Crocodile Rock" achievement/trophy.
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.)
