Walkthrough

1
As soon as you regain control, book it for the train ahead. That helicopter isn't messing around and will start shooting immediately. Get inside the train and sprint through to the other side. Keep an eye on your health and heal up if you need to.
2
Once you're far enough through the train, another cutscene will play. You'll then find yourself underwater. Mash that swim button like your life depends on it to get to the structure in front of you, and then aim for the hole in the ice above. Lara's mostly on autopilot here, so just keep that movement stick pushed forward and mash the swim button to reach safety for another scene.
3
After the next scene, you'll be back on land, but that helicopter is still a problem! You'll need to run away from it again. Thankfully, the game gives you a pretty straightforward path. Just follow it, execute the jumps and wall scrambles as they come up. You'll need to scale a wall, cross some walkways, and then zip-line down.
4
Keep jumping between the ice platforms. Watch out for any sections that look like they might collapse, and make sure you leap to the final zip-line at the end to trigger another scene.

Tips

Don't stop running! The helicopter is relentless, so keep moving forward.
If you're low on health, try to heal while you're running through the train – it's the safest opportunity you'll get.
Pay close attention to the environment when you're on the ice platforms; some sections are unstable and will break away if you stand on them for too long.
