Tomb Raider Walkthrough Part 34 – No One Left Behind (Geothermal Cavern: Entrance to The Pit)

Head on forward through the opening and into the water. Just keep going forward in the water. It is not too long until you are out of it and onto the next part of the sequence. Head over to the left when you find the break in the cavern to get some Food for extra XP. After that you want to head to the South through the tunnel. Just keep going forward until the cutscene triggers. Something very odd happens when they try to incinerate Sam. After that Lara is taken away by the guards to be brought to the Throne Room. She will break away, grab her bow then drop down into the water below.

Wade out of the water and head forward. It is not too far before Lara will get some arrows that she can use. Once there look ahead and you will hear Lara start to cough. There is a natural gas vent in front of you. Shoot a Fire Arrow into it to ignite the gas and clear away the boards. If you can get in quickly enough you just need the first arrow. It is recommended to use 2: one to blast the boards and a second to clear the gas and rush through.

On the other side you will find a Camp, Pit Camp. To the right of the camp site you will find a Document (In Her Honor) to complete the Confessions Of A Solarii set. Be sure to stop at the fire to listen to Lara make another entry into her journal.

Head up the slope after stopping at the camp and go through the narrow opening. Just head on forward and Lara will see a Recruit being dropped into the Pit for “Initiation”. Things do not go well for this fellow. Just head on down the path in front of you. Pause after you pass under the first beam and look to the left. You will see a sack hanging on the ceiling. Shoot it down with a Fire Arrow to begin the Firestarter Challenge. From there just head down to the Pit itself and start sneaking over to the West. Look immediately behind the bend you came around to find some Salvage. Head over to the opposite side after that so you can get a few more arrows into your very empty quiver. Now head to the Southwest and down the passage there. Drop down into the water to collect some more Salvage. Be sure to switch from Fire Arrows as you are about to get attacked by a Madman. Take him down when he appears and starts to rush Lara.

Now head to the North and into the next tunnel to the West. Simply run through the gas this time, save the arrows. As you head down this tunnel and get to the corner you will be attacked by another of the “Initiates”. Take him down with melee attacks and head to the end of the tunnel. Climb up to find some Salvage and the first of 5 GPS Caches in the area. Turn around and look behind with Survival Instinct on. You will see a sack tucked up in the rafters. It is nearby impossible to see otherwise. Fire a burning arrow into it to get the second Sack for the Fire Starter Challenge. Head back on out of the tunnel after that to continue to the North.

In this passage you will find a man begging for any kind of food or water. Nearby him, on the ground, you will find the second GPS Cache. You choose whatever you want to do with the man, be it ignore him or kill him. Continue forward down this passage through the next gate. Look above you with Survival Instinct on to find the third Sack for the Fire Starter Challenge. Burn it down with another Fire Arrow. You can get very easy XP by taking down the nearby prisoners just remember that you arrows are insanely limited. Get to the end of the passage and look to the left by the door the prisoner was thrown through. You will find a valve. Take the Climbing Axe to it to break it open and get the gas spewing out. Now head a little South and go toward the center of the Pit. Off to the West you will see a climbable wall. Take it up to find the first Relic of the area. Grab it then head to the North and shoot a Fire Arrow into the gas you just released to blast open the door leading out of the Pit. Time to move on.
