Discover secrets and unlock new areas in Lara's Mansion in Tomb Raider III. Learn how to access the Treasure Trove and Racetrack Key with this guide.

Lara's Home in Tomb Raider III is more than just a safe haven; it's a training ground and a treasure hunt all rolled into one! You can mess around in the mansion, maybe even lock Winston the butler in the freezer for a laugh. But more importantly, it's where you can get reacquainted with Lara's moves in the gym and test your skills on the outdoor assault course. There's even a few hidden secrets to uncover if you know where to look.

Treasure Trove: To find the Treasure Trove, head to the swimming pool. Look for a button hidden behind the diving board and press it. Then, make your way to the main hall and activate the switch you just revealed. Now, get ready to roll! You'll need to perform a diving roll followed by a regular roll to slide into the chamber. Once inside, you might spot some familiar items if you've played the earlier Tomb Raider games. Press the button twice to make your exit.

Racetrack Key: Start in the main hall and head upstairs to the very top. There's a button up there that opens a door, leading you to the attic. Inside the attic, push a block in twice. Next, go to the library and check the bookshelves opposite the fireplace. You'll see a book sticking out – press the action button, and Lara will push it in, extinguishing a flame. Climb up the chimney into the attic. Pull out a box to get some Flares. Now, jump to the upper ledge and push another box out of the way to reveal a passage back to the other attic room. Throw the switch you find there and then quickly run out of the attic. Sprint down the stairs all the way to the main hall. From the top of the stairs, jump over the rail, run down a few steps, jump over the next rail, roll, and sprint through the door before it slams shut. Grab the Flares inside. Head downstairs to the aquarium. Position the box you found under the hole in the ceiling and climb up. From this vantage point, you can enter the water. Swim to the other side and grab the Racetrack Key. With this key, you can head to the gardens and use it to unlock the gate, giving you access to the Quad Bike race course.

Leaving the house: If you're just looking for a bit of fun, you can push the button on the front gate to open it and head out.
