Follow the gang member with the torch down the plank walkways to a room with several shallow pools. You'll pass 2 more thugs in alcoves along the way. In case it's not obvious, the Damned are now your friends. As long as you don't fire weapons in this area, they won't harm you.

Exit through the doorway on the left. If you take the doorway in the middle of the room, you'll end up in the same place eventually, but you'll miss the secret.

Follow the passageway.

Slide down the ramp into the room below. Then quickly pull up into the opening on the right before the spiked ceiling descends and crushes Lara.

If you move quickly and crouch while pulling up into the doorway, you can avoid taking any damage.

Lara will then slide down another ramp into a small room. Press the button on the right.

This opens the trapdoor above, but don't go there yet.

First, go through the doorway opposite the button and hop down onto the white stone ledge.

Go to the right end of the rocks and step down onto the small brick ledge.

Safety drop into a clear area in the barbed wire below.

Walk through the wire to the other end of the trench.

Climb into the crevice.

Then drop into the little room on the right.

Here you'll find a large medi pack and flares—SECRET #1.

To get back to the room with the button and trapdoor, pull up onto the ledge above where you got the flares. Then climb onto the next ledge, above on the right.

Turn around and position Lara near the edge, as shown above.

Take a standing jump to grab the edge of the opening, pull up, and slide down to the white rocks where you started. Or, take a running jump from the ledge to land on the slope and slide down onto the white rocks.
