Stuck in TR2

[cpoce2007]

I am currently in the Opera House ventilation duct area trying to get the jade dragon. I am doing a standing jump to jump up to the ledge where the fans are but keep getting killed. She won't jump up high enough to clear the fans. Please help! Using tank controls.

Walkthrough sites should always be your first option.

Backwards jump.

[cpoce2007]

Thank you for your advices. I haven't tried a backwards jump instead of a standing jump. Will give it a try.

It's really evil, no idea how you are supposed to figure it out on your own...

Side jump did it for me. But yeah, I got frustrated at that part too.

I just did this level last night and figured it out fine. Know Lara's moveset and how each jump works. (I'm also using tank)

[cpoce2007]

I actually did the backwards jump. I have also used the side flips on occasion. I guess it is just a matter of strategy sometimes. I am almost finished with this level.

I am currently in level 7 - Fathoms. I am where the series of switches, doors and timed burners are. Every time I pull the switch to turn off the 4 burners and head back, the burners are on not off. When I go back to pull the switch again, the screen freezes showing the burners off. Is this a glitch? I even tried to turn off the first 2 burners again and the screen freezes. Stuck!!

[ERROR_372]

That area is timed. you first pull the switch past the burners, which turns off the first burner, allowing you to pull the switch that it was blocking. That opens a room near the beginning of that area. Inside that room is a switch that turns off the other burners. But by the time you get back to the burners, the first burner will be back on, so you need to run back to the room with the switch past the burners and pull that switch again, and then run past all the burners. It's all timed, so if you aren't fast enough, they will turn back on

[cpoce2007]

Its not working for me! I keep going back and forth trying to turn the burners off and getting back before they come back on, but I don't make it in time. It's frustrating!

The switch that turn off the first 2 burners (also the closest to the burner area) has shorter timer, the switch that turn off the last 2 burners (also the furthest but the closest to Jade Dragon door) has longer timer.
Thus you need to plan ahead, it's a puzzle with platforming combination.

[rometina20306]

Actually you can just run through all the burners, pull the lever and jump into the water behind the door to put out fire on Lara. Fast and simple with the price of a medkit or two.
This trick cannot be done in NG+ though, as fire damage is way too high and medkits too valuable in this mode.

[cpoce2007]

I could probably do this if I had enough medkits, but I don't. Can't get the cheat code to work either.

[Konachibi]

I think I know the area you're talking about. You need to stand right at the very back edge of the square infront of the ledge with the secret, and then do a forward jump, but do not press the action button (don't try to grab the ledge). You should land on the ledge above so you can grab the statue.
This illustration I found on google should make it look a little clearer:
