The Pressure Plates are a type of trigger found in several of the Tomb Raider Games. They often trigger a trap or a door mechanism.

Occurrence

Several inconspicuous pressure plates trigger doors in this game. Most of them have to do with secrets.
The first pressure plate is found in the Mountain Caves, right at the beginning. It is a giant pressure plate that Lara has to step onto. It triggers the Dart Traps in the passage behind. Luckily two Jump Switches will enable Lara to turn the darts off again.
Pressure plates commonly occur throughout the game, e.g. in the Mediterranean Section and the Croft Manor where Lara has to place weights on them to keep doors open or mechanisms active. She can also stand on them to trigger the connected event, however once she steps off, the event is no longer triggered. This works well for attaching the grapple for another action or for throwing things through doors.
