The Hive - Timed Doors & Lava Stream


Take a carefully angled running jump from the bank of the lava stream to the tan block ahead on the left.


From here you can see that there are actually 2 red-and-gold doors at the end of the lava stream. The surface of this block is a pressure pad that opens the door on the left.


Before heading for the exit, make a couple of pickups: Move toward the corner of the block nearest to the open door. Walk back a couple of steps and then take a standing jump to land on the low, square ledge with the Uzi clips. Grab them, turn right and walk to the edge of the ledge. Then take another standing jump to land on the angled block ahead, which also has Uzi clips. Turn back toward the light-colored block with the pressure pad. Walk to the corner of the angled block and take a standing jump forward to land on the block with the pressure pad.


The door is timed to close about 15 seconds after Lara steps off the pressure pad. To get through in time, begin by walking to the edge of the block nearest the low block where you found the first set of clips. Stand near the left corner facing the low block. Take a standing jump forward to land on it.


Then take another standing jump to land on the bank of the lava stream ahead.


Run up the slope, veering to the left as you run down the path so that Lara is facing the end wall of the cavern. There's more lava ahead, so be careful not to run off the path. Try to aim for the back (right) edge of the last block in the path, as indicated by the pointer on the arrow in the screenshot above.


This will put Lara in the perfect position to take the next running jump without having to waste time setting it up. Run along the block and jump at the edge to clear the lava stream and grab the block near the door. Pull up, turn right and run through before the door closes.
