Tomb Raider II Survival GuideWalk-through
IntroductionBefore You Go...Guns and Bad GuysWalk-throughCheatsContents

Bartoli's Hideout …continued

Fire, Water, Air, Earth
At the top of the stairs, turn right and enter the room in front of you, wary of foes. Shoot out the far window and get ready to jump through, turning right as soon as you're outside. But before you exit the room, a secret beckons.

Secret ScreenshotSecret 1

Make your way down the balcony beyond the room at the top of the stairs, then blast out the window on your right. Be forewarned that a posse of bad guys will burst in as soon as you touch the floor. Use both large rooms to your jumping advantage, and don't forget that the sheet-covered furniture provides fine sniping platforms - even if the bad guys can climb up to them, too. Once the fun dies down, go into the fireplace and push the back wall.

Once you're in the hallway above and beyond the fireplace, stop at the top of the incline. Note the wall-blades in repose. Evading them is easy - just back up and run, launching a jump a step before the edge of the slide. If you time it right, you'll touch down safely at the bottom without so much as a scratch.

Getting through the next section is another matter. The fire traps are timed: They turn off when you stand on the wooden plank area, just before the bricks. Not surprisingly, the fire trap re-ignites a few moments later, meaning you only have enough time to hop-jump from platform to platform without hesitation. Start with a run, jumping as soon as you step past the middle of the first platform. Hop-jump from there without stopping and you'll make it through safely.

Note

If you happen to catch on fire, drop off any ledge into the cool, refreshing water. You can climb out in the main area by grabbing onto the black and red checked ledge, just to the left of the first flame pad. Of course, you have to do all of the jumps again.
