Wreck of the Maria Doria - Vertical Shaft with Breakaway Tiles

To conserve health when falling through the breakaway tiles, begin by sliding backwards down the slope and grabbing the edge. Then traverse as far to the left as possible.

Drop onto the breakaway tiles below and quickly roll. . .

. . . then jump to the left. (That is, press Jump + Left to flip to Lara's left. Since she's facing you, she will appear to jump to the right on screen.)

Lara will land here in the corner.

Then quickly run forward along the tiles, holding the Action button. . .

. . . so Lara grabs the edge of the second tile as the one she's standing on crumbles.

Hang from that tile and drop to the floor from there.

This way Lara will take very little damage when she lands.
