Monstrum Crime Scene - Sewer Tunnels and Vasiley's Apartment
Follow the tunnel to a water-filled trench.
Turn right, step over the pipe, and continue to a rubble-strewn hole in the wall. Go through into Vasiley's basement. (There are a few other side passages off the main sewer tunnel but they are dead ends.)
Notice the arcane symbols painted on the wall and the red door on the right. It doesn't open yet. For now, continue up the short flight of steps, through the doorway on the left, and up the stairs into the apartment.
Cutscene: Lara catches Bouchard snooping around the apartment. She knocks him out and handcuffs him to a radiator. Next, is a dialogue with Bouchard. Check the main walkthrough for details.
After this dialogue, your notebook is updated twice (43-44/62): "Locate the Vault of Trophies in the oldest part of the Strahov. Last Painting there." And, "Check the premises for a hidden area."
Open the ornate door opposite Bouchard and enter the main room of the apartment.
Climb the spiral staircase to the upper level.
Run around to the other side of the walkway...
......and push/pull the small chest of drawers to get an upper-body strength upgrade.
Pull up onto the scaffolding.
Then climb to the highest level.
Turn left and take a running jump over to the scaffolding to the left of the huge stained-glass window.
Pull the chain twice to tilt the window outward...
...and move a cabinet downstairs, revealing a small medipack. (Lara will not be strong enough to pull the chain before getting the upgrade.)
Take a running jump to the scaffolding on the right side of the window.
Pull the second chain four times. The first two pulls close the window. Pulling a third and fourth time tilts the window inward...
...and also opens the face on the grandfather clock downstairs.
A brief cutscene shows the design inlaid on the parquet floor. Three o'clock is prominent.
Drop down from the scaffolding onto the walkway below. Then return downstairs.
Take the small medipack (3) from the secret compartment you just opened.
Then approach clock.
Press Action to interact with the clock face. Press Right/Left to move the hands to 3 o'clock.
This opens a hidden staircase in the middle of the floor.

DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, 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.)
