Follow the Tomb Raider III RX-Tech Mines walkthrough to find secrets, collectibles like the Lead Acid Battery, and navigate mine car sections.
Walkthrough

- 2Run down the hallway, turning corners as doors open. Continue past the section with no doors.
- 3When you hear a door close, keep running until you hear another door open. Turn around immediately and find a crawlspace.
- 4Crawl through and drop down a ladder into a room.
- 5Pick up MP5 Clips. Watch the Flamethrower eliminate two Mutant Crawlers.
- 6Press the button to open the door into the central mine room.
- 7Bypass the Flamethrower into the central mine room, which has three levels with mine cars. The middle level has a locked door, the upper level has a control room, and the lower level has a Mutant Crawler.

- 9Head to the control room on the upper level.
- 10Quickly kill the Mutant Crawler to the right and press the button in the doorway to turn on the lights.
- 11Secret #1: Climb onto the roof of the control room. Head to the back right edge, crouch, and hang over the edge. Shimmy right until Lara gains a foothold on a ladder. Climb down until Lara's feet are at the edge of the building. Back flip off, rolling in mid-air, to grab a crawlspace behind you. Inside, find a Small Medi-pack and Grenades. The door leads to Secret #2, but it cannot be accessed yet.

- 14Exit the car as the Flamethrower eliminates a nearby Mutant Crawler.
- 15Take the Save Crystal. Crawl under the drills into the next room.
- 16Climb into the snow bank and drop down the hole for Flares.
- 17Opposite the hole is a hallway. Slide down the slope backwards, grab the edge, and safety drop to the top of the chasm.
- 18Deal with the Mutant Stalker in the nearby small corridor.
- 19Facing the chasm, safety drop to the snowy ledge beneath you.
- 20Head to the other end of the ledge and jump to the sloped part. Slide down backwards and safety drop to the ledge below.
- 21Grab the crack in the wall and shimmy left (a Mutant Crawler is above, but not required to kill).
- 22Drop down and grab the crack beneath you. Shimmy all the way right and drop onto the low ledge.
- 23Kill the Mutant Crawler to the left if desired. Grab the crack just above you.
- 24Shimmy left and pull up into the space. Kill the Mutant Crawler.
- 25In the next room, climb onto the walkway for the Crowbar.
- 26Optionally, climb down into the pool for the Rocket.
- 27On the right wall after entering, there is an opening. Stand on the small snowy ramp to the right of the opening and jump straight up to grab an invisible crack.
- 28Shimmy left and climb up into the opening to find a button. This enables access to Secret #2 later.
- 29Head back to the entrance. Run to the top of the snow heap to the right of it. Turn left and use a running jump to the snow pile ahead.
- 30Make an angled jump, veering right in the air, to make the next ledge.
- 31For the final jump to this area, make an angled jump, veering right, and grab the ledge.
- 32Climb the ladder and dismount on the left. Step onto the steel walkway and crawl under the drills. For the last drill, run past it.
- 33In the room with rock crushers, bypass the first one and climb the ladder.

- 35Climb the ledges. At the top, take out the Mutant Crawler and safety drop down the hole.
