After pulling a lever and opening the door at the bottom of the sphinx, Lara walks inside and down the stone halls. Load your 50-cal guns as you go around the corner and see the bronze gates in the large room ahead. The music starts to intensify again, meaning you're going to encounter some animal(s). As you walk into the large cathedral room, look to the far end for 2 panthers that come running.
|
 |
Run backwards and start shooting the pathers. At the end of the row of statues, look to the right. There's a small stone boulder that Lara can climb to get to safety. From that boulder, you can kill one panther. If need be, jump down after the 1st one is dead and take care of business. Go to the end of the room and pull the wall lever left of the bronze gate. The statues move towards the center of the room, then 1 by 1 retract.
|
 |
Pulling the wall lever, releases 2 more panthers at the entrance end of the room. Load your 50-cal guns and take care of them both. Should Lara get entangled in a long fight, one panther MAY grab Lara's arm. Use the left controller stick to wiggle free. You should have lots of medipacks so don't worry (1 or 2 small ones should do it). Now to get up top. There's a wall opening high up, along the right wall. We have to somehow get up there.
|
 |
Go back and pull the wall lever. Don't wait for the statues to move. As soon as you can release from the lever, start to run back to the entrance. look to Lara's left for the small stone boulder. Jump to the boulder then quickly jump to the first statue platform [1]. Pull up. Jump straight ahead to the next platform. It will start to retract [2]. Jump across the hall to the next platform [3] (already retracting), then right to the platform along the same wall [4].
|
 |
Stay on platform 4. Don't jump to the other side, thinking you can leap to the wall opening. You can't reach! Instead, wait for the platform to retract and lock in place. Look along the left wall for the overhead wall hook [square]. Take a running jump and use your grapple to swing run across the wall and leap to grab the stone ledge along the back wall [X]. Steady Lara's hands [triangle]. Shimy and jump to the right, over the sliding bronze gate to the opening in the right wall. Pull up.
|
 |
Along the upper hallways. go left. Slide down the ramp to the pit. Load your pistols and kill the 3 rats. Pull the decorated crate out from the alcove. Push the crate around the corner up against the rubble on the right. Pick up the small medipack. Go back to the alcove where ther crate was and grab another small medipack. Climb up the crate and jump up through the rubble to the hallway. Walk to the next pit. Watch the horizontal pole.
|
 |
The horizontal pole ejects and retracts from the wall on a 5 second timer. Right after the pole comes out, take a running jump to the pole. Swing around to the next horizontal bar. Center Lara on the bar to line-up exactly with the winged lever on the far wall [X]. Swing around, release, grab the winged lever and immediately jump up to grab the floor ledge. If Lara has to secure her hand on the lever, it drops too far and you'll have to do over.
|
If you have to repeat the jump, pick-up the shotgun ammo and walk up the pit. Climb the stone ledges on the right wall and back to the front of the pit... Once you've made it to the next hallway, go around the corner to the entrance of the cat goddess temple. CHECKPOINT. Manually [SAVE GAME].
