Lost City of Tinnos - Water Element Area (part 1)
From the Entrance to the Room with Four Blade Wheels
When you climb the steps from the lower level of the PILLAR OF LIGHT ROOM, the WATER ELEMENT AREA is to the right of the light beam. It's the one with the carved panels depicting waves.
Enter and approach the first pool. Below are two rotating wheels fitted with scythe-shaped blades.
Swan dive over the blades into the far right or left corner of the pool. Surface in the corner out of the blades' reach.
If you then pull up onto the ledge near the wall...
...the blades above will not touch Lara.
Then crawl into the low passageway. At the bottom of the water-filled shaft beyond is a large medi pack.
Crawl back out to the ledge, turn right, and jump into the water. Try to land in the corner, where the rotating blades can't reach Lara.
Then swim down past the lower blade wheel through the opening at the bottom center of the room.
Follow the tunnel...
...to a room with FOUR SQUARE OPENINGS and another rotating blade wheel.
Swim past the moving blades into the LEFT OPENING to get air.
Pull the lever on the wall below the air pocket. This opens a door inside the rightmost opening of the four. This door is timed, so after pulling the lever, roll...
...swim past the blade, make a U-turn to the left...
...swim past the blade again and through the RIGHT OPENING.
Then swim straight up the long vertical shaft to the air pocket at the top of the next room.
