Croft Manor Gymnasium - Second Button


Head for the blue wedge-shaped mat with the number 3 on it. Run up the ramp and jump to grab the horizontal crevice in the rock column ahead. Jump straight up to grab the crevice above. Climb around to the left and jump straight up once more.


While hanging onto this crevice climb as close to the wall as Lara will go. Jump back and quickly press the Grapple key to hook the metal ring on the wall above.


Start by moving the camera to the side so it's pointing more or less directly at the wall. (As you get better at this technique, you'll be able to do it instinctively without much fiddling with the camera.) Alternate pressing the Left and Right keys to make Lara run back and forth along the wall.


Once she gets going, you can release the camera control and let it follow along behind Lara. Each time she runs left or right, she'll go a little higher, until finally she's tracing out a long arc. (The marks on the wall indicate where she may have done this before.) When the left end of the arc is nearly as high as the stone ledge in the corner (as shown in the screenshot above), press Left + Jump and she'll retract the cable and jump to grab that ledge.


Traverse around the corner to the left.


Drop to grab the metal handhold below. Climb to the right and jump into the alcove. Press button to move the L-shaped bar that will enable you to get the next artifact. Slide down the ramp to the floor.
