Lara Croft's Redneck Rampage
We'll assume you won the battle over the red snowmobile. Don't bother trying to get into the warming hut right now - you need the Hut Key to partake of that cozy pleasure. In the mean time, you can pause to get the mission's first secret - or immediately jump on the sled and take it for a ride on a quest for that Hut Key.

Secret 1

Turn the snowmobile around and rampage down the tunnel. Run through the bad guy who appears, and continue to the open-air ramp arena. You'll know it when you get there. En route, practice giving the sled some extra juice by pressing your Action button. Once there, find the ramp in the center of the area and get ready for a Dukes of Hazzard-style jump.

Here's the launch point. It's time to see what this baby can really do.

Blast up the ramp, aiming for the right edge of the ramp and the wide, flat area beyond. Hit the Action button for an extra burst of speed as your roar up the ramp. Hit the brakes hard when you land and crash-steer into the wall to keep from slipping off the platform. After you've planted the snowmobile on the platform, point it down the long, ramped runway and dismount.

Park your sled here. It's time to move some blocks.

Dash down the rampway. Check out the huge, rectangular ice block, turn left, and locate the hole in the right wall. Jump in, slay the prowling cats and approach the ice block and pull at one side - what's this? It's two blocks in one! Pretty sneaky. Shove them both into the tunnel, then return to the snowmobile.

Take your time with the smaller ramps on the way to the opening you just created. Punch the throttle to make it into the cave; then aim for the left ramp and crank the throttle wide open. Do it right and you'll clear the pit, no problem.

	Note You can leave behind your red snowmobile after making this jump. All areas beyond are completely accessible by foot. We figured, however, most of you would want to dive it and wrote our guide accordingly. For those hearty adventures who prefer to rely solely on Lara's fleet feet, we salute your sense of adventure. We have no doubt you can outthink the outdoor ramp area ahead (you'll know it when you get to it). We do, however, have one word of advice: Don't destroy the red sled. You'll need its power to jump back over the chasm you just flew over.
