Catacombs of the Talion - Secret #2 Jade Dragon

In the room above the OPEN AREA WITH THE WALL OF ICE, drop through the hole in the floor into the pool below.

Swim to the edge, climb out of the water quickly and kill the 3 fish that would try to nibble on Lara. Then swim through the opening at one end of the pool into the next cave.

Don't bother getting out on the icy bank on the right, since there's nothing there but falling icicles.

Instead continue forward and around to the left. Climb out of the water on the snowy ledge between this cave and the next.

Turn around and you'll see a ladder above you. Stand underneath it and jump straight up to grab it.

Climb nearly to the top, then do a backflip off the ladder to land on the ledge behind you. (This jump can be tricky. To set it up, climb all the way to the top of the ladder. Then back down one rung, so Lara's feet are on the seam between the top two ladder textures, as shown above. Now just press Jump to do the backflip and land on the ledge.)

Here you'll find SECRET #2, the Jade Dragon.

Pick up the secret and walk back to the edge of the slope. Step off, slide and jump to grab the ladder. Then climb back down.
