Crash Site - Cave with Switches (part 1)

Tomb Raider 3 screenshot
To reach the cave, start by positioning Lara so the passage where you entered this area is on her right and the airplane fuselage is on her left. Above and behind is a rectangular stone ledge. Ahead is a lumpy, green hill with a sloping base. Jump up to the flat, triangular spot in the left corner.

If you evaded that second raptor by climbing up here, you can shoot it now from above.

If it runs away, just hang from the ledge to get its attention. Then pull up and start shooting again.

Alternatively, you can reach the ledge with the crawlspace by taking the more obvious but longer route through the treetops. This is shown on a separate page.
