Bio-Research Facility Detail -
Room with Pool & Elevated Walkways


Position Lara facing the left side of the section of wall with climbable vines. That way you'll have less distance to cover when actually making the climb. Rather than grabbing onto the vines at ground level, jump straight up to grab them, again shortening the overall climb.

Climb straight up a short distance (shown by the arrow marked A in the screenshot above). Then climb diagonally up and to the left (B). At the first bend in the ceiling, climb to the left as far as Lara will go (C). Then begin climbing straight upward along the angled ceiling (D). (Steps C and D are also shown in the screenshot below.)


In this screenshot, Lara is positioned correctly to make the climb to the top of the room. Continue climbing straight upward (D and E, also shown in the screenshot below.)


The ceiling bends again, but Lara has no trouble climbing the inverted surface (F). Just keep pressing Forward and she'll do it automatically. When she reaches the top of the celing (G), she'll turn around automatically as well. Just continue to press Forward. When she reaches the metal track on the ceiling and stops, press Action to let go and drop onto the platform below. As long as you moved the platform earlier by using the switch, and moved onto the left section of vines at the start of the climb (steps B and C, above), Lara should land squarely on the platform.
