The Great Pyramid - Gauntlet of Traps Continued - Spikes and Break-Away Tiles
Ahead are more spikes, more lava, and 3 break-away tiles (45-47/51). If you are not achievement/trophy hunting, you don't need to shatter all three tiles. Just walk to the top of the ramp, take one step back from the edge, then take a standing jump forward to land on the leftmost break-away tile. Immediately side flip to the right to land on the right tile, then jump forward into the doorway. The middle tile will remain unbroken.
- OR -
Instead take a carefully angled running jump from the right corner of the ramp to grab the left corner of the ledge by the door, passing over the tiles but not touching them. This one is a little tricky, so be sure to check your angle using Look before making the jump. (Thanks to JDReaper45 for this strat.)

If you are attempting the "After Us the Deluge" achievement/trophy, save the game here, just in case. If you're fairly dexterous with the controls, you can shatter all three tiles on one pass. Start by positioning Lara near the back left corner of the ramp, angled slightly to the right, as shown here. Take a standing jump over the spikes...
...to land on the right side of the left tile. Run to the right over the middle tile, then veer left as you cross the right tile and jump into the doorway. (You can also run straight toward the right wall then side flip left into the doorway.)
- OR -
Alternatively, break the tiles one at a time. Start by walking to the top edge of the ramp. Then take two walking steps back. Jump forward over the spikes to land on the left tile...
...and immediately backflip onto the ramp.
Walk to the top right corner of the ramp, angle Lara toward the middle tile, then take one walking step back. Jump forward onto the tile...
...and immediately backflip onto the ramp.
Now, for the third tile, walk to the top right corner of the ramp, angle Lara to face the remaining intact tile, and take one walking step back from the edge. Jump forward to land on the tile...
...and keep running as you veer to the left and jump into the doorway.
- OR -
If that last sequence proves too challenging, instead walk to the outer corner of the ramp and angle Lara to face the third tile. Jump forward to land on it.
Pivot a bit to the right, so Lara is facing the wall, and quickly side flip to the left to land in the doorway before the tile collapses.
DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. 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.)
