The Ice Palace - Springboard and Second Bell

Tomb Raider 2 screenshot
Back in the main room with the cages and springboards, go to the single springboard near the two adjacent springboards you used earlier.

Above is a second bell.

Position Lara touching the wall with the sloping top, her back toward the springboard. Then hop back once.

Lara should now be standing just in front of the springboard. Draw pistols. Then backflip (i.e., press Jump + Back together).

Now, instead of actually backflipping, Lara will step back onto the springboard and be launched into the air.

Shoot the bell at the peak of the jump. You'll hear a clang and see the bell sway back and forth if you hit it.

Lara will then fall back and slide down the sloped wall to the floor without taking any damage. Shooting this bell opens the first of the 2 black gates in the alcove to the left.
