Lara has completed the action sequence and survived the gauntlet as all the stone blocks fall way. She is now standing inside the sacred Hall Of Light. |

Perfect time to use the RAD binoculars. It reveals that the pressure pads seem to act with a statute mechanism in the middle of the floor. The round stone boulders are abviously the weights that trip the pressure pads. There is one nearby on the floor. There is another stone boulder high on the left wall right next to where we're standing. Can't see the 3rd one just yet? OK. Using [triangle], roll the first boulder into the pad in the middle. |
 |
[Movie sequence begins] A large square stone statue rises up out of the floor. Interesting? Lara examines it with Zip. There is a symbol of the Queen and the Staff of Viracocha. Apparently there is another stone dais, similar to the one they found in the ruins of Tiwanaku Nothing else is happening. Time to go find another stone. |

Walk back to the pit. On the right is a high turret with a stone boulder. There's a small shimmer point on the edge of the stone railing. Use your grapple [X] and pull down the turret. The boulder falls as the stone crumbles on the floor. Roll the second boulder to the pressure pad on the right side of the statue. [movie sequence begins] The wall statue on the right opens up revealing 2 stone ladders. Beams of light lock-on to the statue. |
 |
The opened wall statue also reveals the 3rd stone boulder, way up at the top. Jump to the ladder (left or right doesn't matter). Climb til you can't go any further. Unfortunately you can't jump up to grab the next section of ladder. Jump to the crack in the statue face (the open mouth). Jump up and hang-on to the crack above the face. Shimy to the right or left, lean and jump to the upper ladder section. Climb to the top then over the ledge. |
 |
Using [triangle] push the stone boulder off the statue to the floor below. Be careful not to fall with it! Back track down the ladders, across the face of the statue and back down the ladder to the floor. Push the stone boulder to the far side and onto the last pressure pad. [movie sequence begins] Watch the magic as the back wall opens up. |
 |
Lara enter the tomb of the queen. There's a ceremonial sword lying in front of her tomb, but it's a replica. The tip has been broken off. She has seen this before. She asks Zip to find Takamoto in Japan and arrange a meeting. Anaya gets patched-in by Zip warning Lara that soldiers are in the ruins coming after her. |

FIRST... Let's get the gold reward. It's hidden and it's trickey, but well worth it! From the upper tomb hallway, go out and to the right. Climb the ledges. Run and jump to the ladder of the wall statue on the right. Climb the ladder. Jump over the platforms and over to the turret against the far wall. Jump up and grab the stone ledge. Shimy to the left around the corner. We're very high up. Don't look down! Shimy across the cracks to the end. |
|
Release, jump down and grab the ledges, until you reach the turret over the pit. Align Lara with the dangling rope and jump to grab it. Pivot Lara to line-up with the ledge crack (shown with arrows in the photo above). Shimy up the rope [triangle] to make sure you are high enough. Swing back and forth to get full rope momentum, then leap across and grab the ledge crack. |
 |
Jump up and grab the higher ledge crack and shimy to the left. Leap over the cracks and shimy almost to the end. Pull up by the stair opening. Walk up the stairs and to the right. This is a slide ramp. There's another 4th boulder up top. Go and push the boulder off its platform and down the ramp. It will crash through a stone wall and drop to the floor below. Lara has to go down to floor level. Walk down the ramp thru the break in the wall. |
 |
From the turret, jump across to the right wall statue. Climb down the ladder, across the statue face, down the lower ladder section back to the floor. Find the stone boulder. Roll the stone boulder to the front pressure pad (no other pad will activate the statue). [movie sequence begins]. The statue rises again out of the floor, revealing an inner box. Go up and grab gold reward 1/1. AAAHHH!! The joys of tomb raiding! |
