DARK MODE?

Tomb of Qualopec - Doorway with Face Motif - Raising the First Gate

Tomb Raider I Remastered screenshot
From the main room, follow the hallway the first two raptors came from to a FOUR-WAY INTERSECTION. (There's a save crystal here in New Game+.) Note the pictures over the doors: To the right a stylized face, ahead a sun, to the left a bird. Each door leads to one of the switches that raise the gates in the main area. You can explore these side areas in any order. Let's start with the right door (face).

Follow the hallway to a small room with an ornate block. To the left of this block is an area on the wall that looks different from the rest. Push this movable block twice...

...and you'll see another movable block on the left. Push the second block once to open up the passage beyond.

Run across the break-away tile (17/51) without pausing. (This counts toward the total for the "After Us the Deluge" achievement/trophy.) When you reach the other side you'll see the deadly spikes those tiles had been concealing. Pull the switch...

...to raise one of the three gates back in the main area. (It's actually the outermost of the three.)

Turn around and walk to the edge of the spike pit. Take a standing jump over it and grab the opposite edge. Pull up and return to the FOUR-WAY INTERSECTION.

DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. 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.)
