The 2 mercenaries guarding the temple entrance run inside when they see Lara. A few seconds later we hear serious screaming.. I think they are dead? |
 |
This is definitely a trap. It looks and feels like a trap. Walk down the steps and find one of the small rocks. Kick it over the floor dead ahead. YIKES!! The floor panels pull back exposing rows of spinning blades inside a pit. The only way across is with the grapple. There is a shiny statue high on the ceiling. Run and jump over the blades. In mid-air engage the grapple. Swing back and forth 2-3 times to get momentum to land on the other side. |
 |
Once Lara has cleared the blade trap, run up the stairs. Before turning right down the hall, look left. There is a small break in the wall leading to small alcove. Go in the back. if you need more light, turn on your flashlight. Grab bronze reward 8/10. Go back out to the hallway and into the room with all the chains. Ok. You know we have to climb. Go to the middle chain and shimy up til your way is blocked. Jump right to the other chain. |
 |
The other chain will start to move. Lara's weight is pulling the chain down. Shimy quickly up the chain to gain height (use triangle to jump shimy). Once Lara is higher than the block on the other chain, quickly lean left and jump to the first chain. Now turn around and with your back to the small tunnel, jump into the tunnel. Go out the other side and jump to the next chain, then slide down. At the bottom, walk out to the next hallway. |
 |
At the end of the hallway we reach a dead-end. Time to go for a swim. The contorls for swimming are not that complicated. The biggest thing is watching your air supply [upper left]. Swim down the first corridor then up to the right. Look up and you'll see a ledge. Swim up and climb out. Grab bronze reward 9/10. Jump back in the water and swim to the end over the glow pool (looks eerie). |
 |
Before venturing too far, draw your assault rifle. Around the corner, a jaguar is lurking. Once you see him and get the red lock-on target ring... fire away. He'll need 10-12 shots to take him down. Don't worry if he nips at you from close range, the injury will be very minor. Down the hallway, a series of large wall blocks start to slam shut and retract in cycle. The minute they start to open after slamming together, sprint to the other side. |
 |
At the end of the hallway, find the movable cage. Grab the cage [triangle] and slide it in front of Lara. Now pass through the second set of double moving wall blocks. The wall blocks slam into the cage NOT YOU! At the end, don't push the cage all the way out. Instead, let go of the cage and jump over it. This way, you won't get injured. Go up the steps and enter the big cathedral room. Load the R.A.D. binoculars. Look around and pick-up clues. |
 |
To open the large overhead door at the other end, the 3 square pads in the floor, need to have a wieght on each one. Use the cages as pad weights. There is one on this platform. Grab the cage and drag it onto the nearest pad. You'll notice the mechanism in the wall releases. Also nearby, climb up the ledge and grab bronze reward 10/10. The other 2 cages are down below in the shallow pool area. Draw your assault rifle. There's a jaguar nearby. |
 |
To get the other 2 cages on the upper platform, Lara needs to use some creativity. There's a teeter-totter assembly that will catapult the cages. Drag the cage out from under the mechanism and push it onto the end. Be sure it is on the teeter-totter. Climb up to the higher platform, run up the stairs and jump to the raised end of the teeter-totter. The cage now catapults to the upper level. Find the 3rd cage and repeat the process. |
 |
Place all 3 cages on a pad. The overhead door opens up. There's a problem... The gold reward is in a small alcove above the door. To get to it, the door has to be jammed halfway (see alignment arrows in photo). To do this pull the cage off the pad closest to the door. The door will slam shut. Put the cage back on the pad. Run to the pad on the right side and pull the cage off. The wall mehcanism will lock the cog and the door seizes TADA! |
 |
With the door jammed, go the left side, climb the ledge and grab the chain. Shimy up the chain and jump to the wall ledge. Shimy around to the right, then jump to another ledge then up to the high platform. Jump in the air and grab the chain. Monkey bar across the chain and let go at the other end. Jump down and shimy across the ledges then jump to the swing pole. Swing across and jump to the platform. Climb the left wall next to the door. |
 |
Climb the cracks in the wall. Using the photo on the left, the arrows, mark cracks in the door that Lara can use to climb the door. (lara's hanging in the middle) Climb to the top and grab the gold reward 1/1. Now climb back down the door and go to the right. The door will stay open halfway which is more than enough for you to slip past. DON'T GO IN JUST YET! There's another reward to get. |
 |
Jump to the other wall ledge and shimy across. Jump up then up again to the chain. Monkey bar across the chain and drop down on the other end. Grab the silver reward 3/5. Backtrack across the chain and down the ledges til you're at the door again. Go inside.. [action sequence begins]. The floor gives way under Lara and she makes a mad dash to get across alive. Follow the button sequences.
