Rooms 5-6

If you restart from the Checkpoint you’ll have to stomp the attacking Zombie again into the Abyss where he belongs.

The walkway you are standing on is L-shaped so there is only one way to go: go to the corner and turn right into a short Hallway leading to the 5th Room.
As soon as you approach the Room another Zombie is materializing but with a stomp or two you can blast him off into the acid pool where his rotten face will be taken care of.


Kick the Zombie into the beauty parlor

 

You see a grapple sign on top of the screen so press blue to grapple on a ring on the opposite wall.


Grapple on the ring

 

Run/jump off the ledge (hanging from the cable) towards the opposite wall. Climb up the cable until Lara’s feet are touching the wall where it is bending forward. Notice a cornering narrow ledge on the left wall.


Run/jump to the wall


The correct position

 

Start wall running from left to right until your reach enough height to jump left to the cornering narrow ledge. Shimmy left and prepare a sideward jump left past the broken section of the narrow ledge.


Jump now!


Prepare a left sideward jump

 

Notice a narrow ledge on the cornering wall but also an opening in the wall above. Jump to the opening and pull up.


The opening above and the left narrow ledge


Jump up


Pull up

 

The opening is the beginning of a tunnel. Follow the tunnel until Room 6 comes in sight. Walk slowly to the edge from the left side until Lara hangs from the straight section of the edge. Notice a narrow ledge below her.


The tunnel leads to Room 6


Hanging from the edge

 

Drop to the narrow ledge. There are narrow ledges in the left corner. Shimmy left and prepare a side jump to the cornering narrow ledge.


Hanging from the narrow ledge


Prepare a left side jump

 

Jump to the narrow ledge. Below Lara there is an L-shaped narrow ledge in the corner and left of it you see part of a full ledge that comes out of the wall like a tongue. You cannot reach that ledge from the narrow ledge below (you’ll end up in the acid pool). Shimmy left and prepare a side jump to the ledge from this narrow ledge.


The “tongue” and the L-shaped narrow ledge


Prepare a left side jump

 

Jump to the ledge and pick up your 28th Treasure (I think I also heard an Autosave ping here).


Your 28th Treasure lying on the ledge

 

Have a look around here. There’s nothing in the 6th Room beside this acid pool and some rough walls. In order to return to the tunnel you now need the L-shaped narrow ledge in the corner. Run/jump to it. Shimmy left around the corner and vault up to the higher narrow ledge. Shimmy right and prepare a backward jump to the narrow ledge under the tunnel.


Run/jump to the L-shaped ledge


Shimmy left around the corner


Jump up to the upper narrow ledge preparing a backward jump

 

Jump and shimmy right like on the screenshot and jump from this position to the edge of the tunnel entrance. Pull up.


Shimmy to the correct position


Jump to the straight edge of the entrance


Pull up

 

Return to Room 5 through the tunnel and when arriving slowly walk left to hang from the straight half of the edge. Drop down to the narrow ledge below and shimmy to the left where you may now prepare a sideward jump to the cornering narrow ledge you saw before entering the tunnel to Room 6.


Hanging from the straight part of the tunnel’s edge


Drop down to the narrow ledge


Prepare a left sideward jump

 

Jump to the cornering ledge and shimmy all the way to the left until you hang above the hallway. Let go to the hallway. Lara will take a little damage but she’s used to more...


Jump to the narrow ledge


Shimmy all the way left


Drop to the floor... ouch!

 

So your visit to Rooms 5 and 6 had only one purpose: collecting Treasure #27!

Go out and follow left on the L-shaped walkway towards the wall until you see a grapple sign appearing. Grapple on the ring. Jump to the wall and press forward to wall run to the ledge on the opposite side.


Grapple on the wall ring


Jump to the wall


Jump to the ledge from here


Land on the opposite ledge and find a Health Potion

 

Turn right and jump to the L-shaped ledge.


Turn right to see the L-shape ledge


Jump to it

 

If you turn around the corner a giant spider will attack. Shoot at it, jump over it and run into the Hallway. Quickly turn around and focus the camera behind Lara’s back. Keep shooting the giant from here without the risk to fall from the walkway.


A giant spider will surprise you when turning around the corner


Kill it from the Hallway side

 

Continue through the Hallway until you hear an Autosave Ping by the entrance of the 7th Room.
