Temple Ruins - Path to First Ganesha Key
Alternate Route Back to Room with Fire-Breathing Statues
After solving the MOVABLE BLOCK PUZZLE, as shown in Part 3, and using the switch to fill the pool where you saw the FIRST GANESHA KEY, you end up here.
If you want the next secret, do not follow the route shown here. Instead, see this page.
To skip the secret and return to the room with the FIRST GANESHA KEY, just continue past block B (the one you pushed four times) into a cave with a sloping floor.
Ahead is a boulder trap.
To get past it, either run down the left side of the slope...
...and jump over the blade-lined pit as the boulders roll down behind you.
- OR -
Alternatively, stand in the middle of the ramp with the boulders above and behind Lara. Walk forward carefully...
...and backflip as soon as you hear the boulders drop.
The boulders will then pass Lara on either side.
Proceed to the bottom and take a running jump across the pit. Then go around the corner to the right.
Turn around, hang from the edge of the next pit, and drop down on the left side into flooded passageway below. (The right side has more blades below.) When you hit the water, turn right...
...and swim along the passageway, hugging the bottom or either side to avoid the poisoned darts.
