The Trial of the Jaguar
To begin the Trial of the Jaguar, jump down the destroyed stairs and swim towards the main tunnel. Watch out for the narrow gap that Lara will have to squeeze through, and defeat the attacking eel quickly. Then, swim to the next air pocket.
Continue exploring until you reach the narrow passage between the rocks. Squeeze through and swim to the surface.
The Trial of the Spider
The Trial of the Spider takes place in a new portion of the ruins. Approach the wall with the red silhouette and climb the higher shelf to begin the climb. Use the axe wall to reach the upper level, then squeeze through the narrow corridor.
In picture 1, use the grappling axe to perform a long jump and swing through the air. Catch a spot on the ceiling and swing on the rope to reach the hole above the red silhouette in picture 2. This will lead you to a separate location where you’ll face the Trial of the Eagle.
