Navigate the challenging underwater level 07, 40 Fathoms, in Tomb Raider II. Avoid sharks and find Secret #1.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You start underwater in Tomb Raider II's 40 Fathoms level. Roll and aim 30º left, looking down for a trail of debris.
  2. 2
    Follow the debris close to the ocean floor towards an inverted sunken ship with a blue hull. Enter through the opening behind the anchor on the left.
  3. 3
    Inside the ship, swim to the surface for air. Look right for an opening and head there quickly as shark (#1 of 8) (1) pursues you.
  4. 4
    In the next chamber, find an opening high on the left side.
  5. 5
    In the third chamber, the opening is on your left, about halfway up.
  6. 6
    In the next room, pull a switch at the far end of the chamber on the left wall. This opens a hatch.
  7. 7
    Swim through the hatch, follow the path, and emerge in a room with blue blocks. Swim to the surface and pull up onto the closest block.
  8. 8
    Swim clockwise around the tall stack of boxes to find an underwater opening. Swim through it and pull out onto a ledge.
  9. 9
    Follow the path clockwise to a switch that lowers the water level in the previous room.
  10. 10
    Return to where you pulled out of the water and safety drop down. Turn around, pull up into the opening you swam through, then pull up onto the tall crate in front of you.
  11. 11
    Rotate right, make a standing diagonal jump to the crate in front of the overhead opening, and pull up into that opening.
  12. 12
    Warning: Crossing the plane of this ledge triggers a guy with a shotgun (3) from your right. Jump down, run behind him, and defeat him, but avoid the trap door (darker 2x2 square) in the middle of the room.
  13. 13
    Pick up the shotgun shells (1) he drops. Grab Secret #1 -- Silver Dragon (2).
  14. 14
    Run across a corner of the trap door to trip it, but stay topside. Below, you can pick off a club guy (4) and a shotgun guy (5) from up here. Be aware the shotgun guy can hit you from his lower vantage point.
  15. 15
    Warning: If either of these enemies dies on a box with a sloped top, you might be unable to retrieve their loot. Do not overwrite your current Save file until you can access these items.
  16. 16
    When the coast is clear, pick up the small Medi Pack (3) and harpoons (4) they drop.
  17. 17
    Look to the side of the room with the overhead railing. Do a running jump/gra
Tips
  • To earn the Trophy, you must not harm any of the 8 sharks in the game and take no damage from them. You must only dodge them.
  • Sharks do significant damage, so reload your game if one bites you.
  • The level has 16 possible kills, but to get the Trophy, you must avoid killing the 3 sharks, resulting in 13 possible kills. In practice, you will likely only get 7 kills, evading most swimming enemies as the harpoon gun is not effective against them.
  • There are very few ammo pickups in this level.
  • In New Game+, your disadvantage against swimming enemies is more pronounced as they do additional harm and cannot be reasonably killed.
