Tomb of Qualopec - Secrets #1 and #2

Before climbing the wide stairs to QUALOPEC'S TOMB, take a detour for a couple of secrets. Stop on the second step. Turn left and step down just to the right of the dart pipe.

Pull up into the alcove above. The door behind the statue opens automatically.

This is SECRET #1. The floor is made of 8 break-away tiles with spikes below, but there's a solid platform in the far left corner. If you don't care about achievements/trophies, just run quickly across the center tiles then left onto the solid ledge. (Skip the next 4 screenshots.)

If you want the "After Us the Deluge" achievement/trophy, you'll need to destroy all the tiles without falling into the spikes. Here's one possible strategy: Position Lara about one walking step away from the cracked tile nearest the doorway, as shown in the screenshot above. (Any closer or farther back and she'll break the first tile as she jumps over it.) Save the game, just in case.

Take a standing jump over the first tile, leaving it intact, and land on the center tile. Now keep running...

...forward, then right, continuing clockwise around the edge of the room...

...

...until you reach the solid ledge in the corner.

Catch your breath and pick up some shotgun shells (3). Check to make sure you shattered all 8 tiles before saving again or moving on.

NOTE: If you didn't get the SHOTGUN in the previous level, you should get it here instead of ammo. I haven't tested the alternate weapon pick-up points in the remasters, though. Please don't be mad if this is not the case, but do let me know.

Hang from the ledge with the wall on Lara's left. Traverse left toward the wall as far as you can, then drop, and Lara should land safely between spikes. (Or, if you didn't break all the tiles, hang from the right side of the ledge and traverse toward the other wall—X marks the spot—then drop.)

This safe corner is SECRET #2. Pick up the magnum clips (4).

Then turn around and walk through the spikes to the area below the doorway.

Sidestep into a clear spot, like the one directly below the right corner of the doorway. Step forward against the wall then press Action + Forward/Up to pull up without injury. Drop down on the other side, avoiding the darts.
