TR3 - Temple Ruins Secret Bug

[Monckah]

Apparently, there is a bug when trying to get the secret in the room to get the second ganesha key. When you pull the lever, the door that should open to find the secret, for some reason, does not open. I don't know if I'm skipping something or really the last patch broke this part of the level D:

Edit: This is the footage of the secret I am referring to. Shouldn't it be opened with the lever?

Isn't there another switch to pull?

Do you mean the underwater secret?
Not fully sure, but I think one lever makes another lever accessible, which opens the door to the secret.

But I could be wrong since it's the 2nd level...

Cheers!

yep, there are two more switches but those only work for make the invisible blocks visible

I think the secret is also on time.
You pull the underwater lever (the 2nd one I think) and the underwater door opens for a very short time.

Cheers!

The secret before the second Ganesha key is the 4th secret. There's a switch in the 3rd secret room, and a second one you have to pull. This comes well before all the underwater levers.

It's not timed, AFAIK. The switches to the secret are well out of reach to where you need to be.

Yep, its the underwater and the timed secret. I've tried everything but nothing works to open that damn door ;-;

This is the footage of the " bugged secret" https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/22052772276030866/1A120A6AAB306D5CEAF60CC6F5ADD16EDB805F67/

I think when you pull the first lever, the camera shows the secret (and the closed door)
The first time it's confusing and makes no sense, but that lever is part of the secret.
And yes, I think it's not very close to the secret...

This lever here at 03:13 in a previous secret unlocks the door to that underwater secret. That's why it shows that door when you pull this lever.

Thank you so much! although it is really weird that within a secret there is another lever to unlock the next one. I hope it is the only secret with that “trick” lol

Yeah, I was actually thinking it's a lever inside of another secret, but then I thought it could not be and would lame, but it's exactly this case 😅

I agree with you that it's not fair to make one secret depending on another one.

From what I remember RX Tech Mines (Antarctica) also has 2 secrets connected.
So if you don't find one, you won't be able to get the other one either.
But there is a small glitch which makes it possible to reach the secrets from another place.

But to be fair:
Tomb Raider 2 is in this point the worst game because you will only get bonus items if you find all three secrets.
In TR1 and TR3 you will be at least partially rewarded, so even if you just find 1 out of 3 it will be better than nothing.

Cheers!
