Your guide to conquering the Red section in Tomb Raider: Underworld. Learn how to navigate treacherous flames, find hidden treasures, and grab the Flame House Key.

Alright, let's get through this tricky 'Red' section. It's all about precise jumps and timing, especially with those pesky flames later on. Don't worry, we'll take it step-by-step.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start by needing to climb onto a beam. Look for the one to the left of the exit from the previous area. From there, jump to the ledge on the pillar.
  2. 2
    Once you've got a grip on that ledge, climb up and shuffle your way to the left. From the end of the ledge, you'll need to jump to a pole.
  3. 3
    Grab onto the pole and head onto the footholds. Go to the right, then jump to the pole that's behind you.
  4. 4
    Stand on this pole and jump to the next one. Again, stand on it and jump to the ledge.
  5. 5
    Shimmy your way around the corner. When you can't go any further, lean back and jump to another pole.
  6. 6
    Jump from that pole to the next ledge. Shimmy left this time, and then climb up to reach another pole.
  7. 7
    Swing across on this pole. When you're in the middle of your swing, aim for the doorway on the left and jump to it.

Treasures:

  • Treasure 33: You'll find this just to the left of the door you just entered.
  • Treasure 34: This one's located to the right of the same door.

Now, head into the room. Yep, it's filled with flames. Try not to get toasted!

  1. Treasure 35: This is located to the left of the flames. Grab it before you deal with the main challenge.
  2. Okay, time for the main event with the flames. You'll need to climb to the pole directly in front of you. When you're ready, run along it and jump to the pole on the right wall.
  3. Quickly climb up from that pole to the one positioned above it.
  4. Swing to the next pole. Wait for a gap in the flames, then swing to reach the end of this section.
  5. You should now be able to collect the Flame House Key!
  6. After grabbing the key, climb onto the pole on the left, then move up to the one above it.
  7. Go across this pole and then back to the small pole on the right.
  8. From this last pole, you can swing to the exit.

Treasure:

  • Treasure 36: Before you leave, turn back to face the flames. Climb back onto the first pole you used in this section. This time, turn around and jump to the upper pole. Stand on it and jump into the alcove to find another treasure.
Tips
  • Don't forget to dodge the flames! It sounds obvious, but with all the jumping, it's easy to get caught out.
  • Timing is everything when swinging across the flames. Watch the pattern and commit to your jumps.
