Walk up the flight of stairs and enter the temple. It's huge and it's beautiful! Watch out for the snow leopard coming up the stairs on the right. Load your pistols and take him down. Poor kitty! The catwalks on the left and right are blocked with snow and debris. Go down the stairs on the left and explore. I don't think there was anything there, but just in case. Go up the stairs and then down the other set of stairs (where the leopard came out).

There's a gold plaque on the end wall. It looks like it's glowing. Load the RAD binoculars. The plaque is fragile. Hmmm... Pistols don't seem to work? Toss a hand grenade right at the base of the wall. The plaque breaks. Go and grab silver reward 6/6. Nothing else down here. It wouldn't hurt to have a look at the series of columns in the middle chasm. DON'T walk on the bridges. They are all fragile and will break away.

Go back up the stairs to the upper balcony. Look across to the Buddah. Up above are a series of grapple points (bells). Leap off the balcony and in mid-air, grapple the first bell. Swing, release and grapple the next bell. Swing, release and grab the last bell. Look below for the snow leopard (red lock-on target). Remember him when you land. Swing and jump to safety by the Buddah. Load your SMG machinegun and put down kitty!

Lara recalls the doors not being locked?. Before trying to solve the balance puzzle, a little house keeping. Go up the right stairs. Walk all the way down the upper terrace and pick-up bronze reward 8/9. Go back to Buddah and now go up the left stairs. Walk all the way down the other upper terrace down to the very end, and pick-up bronze reward 9/9. Rewards are now all done for the game!

Back to the Buddah statue. The balance puzzle is interesting. The object is to get the golden crate up top. Lara will have to manipulate the scales with the crates to seesaw them up and down. Lara weighs somewhere between the small and medium brown crate. Use the grapple and pull the medium brown crate onto the scale on the right. Jump to the upper platform and walk onto the left scale. It will ever so slowly start to go down but not all the way. Jump on it.

The force of Lara jumping on the scale, will lower it a bit further. Use the grapple while standing on the scale and pull the gold crate onto the scale (it may be a little bumpy). Now go back up top across the platform and go down with the right scale. Stand on it and pull the small crate onto the scale. Now the gold crate on the left scale will be held up in the top position because of the counterwieghts. Jump up to the top platform.

Use the grapple and pull the golden crate off the scale. Now pull the crate by hand over to the matching golden pressure pad in the middle of the stone floor. It's an exact fit, so you may have to play with the position. Once the crate is in place, it will lower into the floor. The golden doors directly underneath, are now opening. Wait for them to open completely, then walk inside [movie sequence begins].
