Navigate the treacherous Tomb of Tihocan in Tomb Raider IV•V•VI Remastered. This guide details secrets, pickups, enemy encounters, and strategies to overcome challenges like Pierre.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Swim south as far as possible, then descend and swim north to a switch. Return up and north to an opening.
  2. 2
    Throw the switch and head east down a passage. South of the opened door, a crocodile will appear; defeat it with one shotgun blast.
  3. 3
    Navigate the room counterclockwise, avoiding the central pillar to prevent dart traps. Alternatively, jump to the flat area right of the pillar to avoid them. From the starting block, perform a standing jump SE, a standing jump/grab east, and a running jump NE.
  4. 4
    Pull up into an alcove to throw a switch.
  5. 5
    Dive down to retrieve a small Medi Pack from an underwater tunnel to the east. Climb onto a floating white block and proceed to the next water area.
  6. 6
    Dive deep to throw a switch, then ascend. Swim south and allow the current to carry Lara rapidly through the water.
  7. 7
    Shoot the approaching rat, then pull a block north once and climb onto the ledge to the south.
  8. 8
    Pull up onto the square ledge to the east, then onto the long gray ledge. Be aware that Pierre may appear from an opening ahead.
  9. 9
    A Save Crystal is available. Experienced players might use it now, while less experienced players may prefer to save it until after the first battle with Pierre.
  10. 10
    To face Pierre: equip the shotgun, move to the block granting access to the opening, and quickly position Lara on the far right side.
  11. 11
    Perform a jump with grab and pull up. Step forward and attack Pierre with the shotgun. Two blasts should suffice, or a blast, roll, and another blast if space is limited. If quick, he won't attack.
  12. 12
    After Pierre retreats, descend the stairs and time a run past a shredder.
  13. 13
    Follow the path left (east), then left (north) again. Stop before dropping onto the green block at the far north end, as a crocodile awaits below. Target it from your current position.
  14. 14
    At the bottom of the stairs, collect shotgun shells and Magnum clips.
  15. 15
    First Secret: Locate three distinct pressure pads on the floor. Run or roll over all three to open the door to Secret #1 in the NW corner of the room.
  16. 16
    Inside the dark room, find the loot on a ledge in the NW corner above the lowest ramp. Position Lara, perform a backflip, and hold the jump button. After the fourth jump, press the grab button to claim a large Medi Pack and shotgun shells.
  17. 17
    Return to the Save Crystal. If not used earlier, use it now.
  18. 18
    Make your way back up the stairs and past the shredder to the top. Run south off the edge onto the next area.
Tips
  • New Game+: Skipping the first battle with Pierre and the first Secret is recommended due to the high risk-reward ratio. This requires dodging extra enemies while swimming.
  • The side-jumping while shooting technique remains effective in the final battle against Pierre.
  • Ammo inventory for all three weapons is increased in this level.
  • If you don't need all secrets, pickups, or kills, you can skip certain areas.
  • 4 Trophies
  • 2 Secrets
  • 26 Pickups (including Small Medi Pack, Large Medi Pack, Shotgun Shells, Magnum Clips)
  • 17 Kills
  • 5 Breakaway Tiles
