Tomb Raider II Secrets

Tomb Raider 2: Secrets of the Game

Among gameplay, you will almost inevitably see one of the secrets in the game (Gold, Stone or Jade Dragon) but other secrets are not so easy to see. Even in the first level, two of the secrets are hidden in difficult places (one in a hallway with spiked walls, and the other on one side of a large cavern occupied by two large and ferocious T-Rex's). Secrets in Tomb Raider 2, if all three collected in a level , can benefit the player with extra ammo, new weapons or medi packs. The final two levels do not have secrets, due to their shortness.

Secret Secrets (Not necessarily Gold, Stone or Jade Artifacts)

• The Uzis are secretly hidden in a small pool behind the large shack towards the end of Bartoli's Hideout (Level 3). To obtain the Uzis, you must first jump onto the roof of the shack (the one with the Detonator Key inside) and move to the end. Jump to the opening, and down into the waist height water pool. The Uzis, complete with clips, lie in one corner. Use the ladders to reach back up to the opening, and then back to the roof.
• The M16 is also located in a secret place, but a bit easier than the Uzis. The M16, and clips, lie below a trapdoor in the middle of a burner hallway in Level 6 (Diving Area). The Trapdoor falls on your approach. To get it, simply press the button on the right (this will only make sense when you experience this trap) to shut off the first burner, charge, roll as the trapdoor opens, grab the M16, and return to the hallway before the burner reignites.
• The Dragon artifacts in Bartoli's Hideout are very sneaky. The first one can only be accessed from a hidden switch, the second is deep within an underwater maze, and the third hidden inside a building 'scheduled' for destruction (Lara actually destroys it- If Lara did not recover the secret before she detonated the hideout, then the Jade Dragon would be lost forever in the rubble- also, a curious question would be why the hideout was rigged with explosives anyway)
• Before the battle with the Guardian of the Talion, a hidden secret lies in a shack to the left of the Ice Palace. It is opened by a switch hidden in the far left of the Ice Field of the palace. This shack also provides good cover against the Guardian when in battle
• In Floating Islands, the secrets are very well hidden, and only one is in plain sight. Collecting all three secrets here benefits you with a stash of grenades (which might come in handy against the Dragon)
