Tomb Raider Underworld Walkthrough FAQ Strategy Guide PS3
 |
Walk out to the upper terrace. Ahead is a box suspended from a statue arm. There's another box on the other statue arm that acts as a counterweight. Jump to the box closest to you. Lara's weight pushes the box down closer to the terrace below. [cut scene] One of the arms on the huge Shiva statue starts to come down. It rests on a ledge on the upper terrace (not too far away). Jump out from the box to the lower terrace. |
 |
Pull out your pistols and look way up to the Shiva statue. There are several bats that fly down from above. I counted 10. Once they're gone, return to the counterweight box and jump back to the higher terrace. Go down the hallway to the right. Load your shotgun and watch for the green naga lizard that crawls down the stairs. Wait for the red traget ring and make short work of him. Walk around the corner to the end. |
 |
Climb up the block to the palm of the hand of the Shiva statue. Insert the gemstone [triangle] The stone is now embedded in the iris between the 2 fingers of the statue hand. Walk back down the hallway and around to the counterweight boxes. Jump to the top of the lower arm of the statue. From there, jump to the higher box. Lara's weight will pull down the box. |
 |
[cutaway scene] The hand from Shiva's statue rises back to it original position and locks into place. The sunlight refracts through the gemstone and sends a beam of light down to the courtyard. A camera shows the beam hitting the floor of the courtyard not too far away from the crystal pedestal and the movable statues. |
 |
Jump down off the box to the terrace below. Along one of the pillars near the courtyard, there's a metal arm hanging against the pillar. Inside the metal arm is a ring with a hole. Use the grapple and pull the arm down from the wall. The arm will fall 90 degrees and extend out from the pillar. Attach the grapple, walk backwards through the opening in the railing and repel down the wall [triangle]. |
 |
Repel down the wall quickly to the end of your cable. Release the cable at the courtyard. Quickly load your pistols or shotgun. There's a spitting green naga lizard coming down the far wall and will be onto you soon enough. Shoot him when he appears. If he spits on you, use a healthpack to repair the injury. Move one of the statues along the rail so that the mirror on the fan reflects the light beam and locks to the crystal like a prism. |
 |
Look up to the top of the far wall. There's another metal arm up top. Use your grapple and attach to the arm up top. Go to the wall with the cable still attached and start your repel climb. Use [triangle] and left analog stick to climb up the wall. At the top, jump to the terrace and release the grapple. Walk down the hallway of pillars to the right and pick-up a treasure at the end. |
 |
Walk back and go down the upper terrace to the right. Load your shotgun and shoot the green naga lizard as it attacks down the back hallway. Safety drop to the lower terrace from the gap in the stone railing. Go to the cage on the right. Pull the cage over to the balance scale. Release and jump to the upper terrace. 2 red naga lizards attack from the pillared area. Shoot them with your shotgun before they get close. Go back to the gap in the railing and climb to the horizontal pole. |
 |
Swing around the pole and grab the next horizontal pole. Swing to the next pole and hang there. The arm of the statue will start to drop from Lara's weight. The box on the other side of the balance raises up. [cutaway scene] The other arm on the Shiva statue starts to drop down to the nearby terrace. As soon as gameplay returns, quickly drop down and push the cage under the raised balance box. |
 |
Pushing the cage under the balance box, prevents the scale from correcting and forces the arm from the Shiva statue to stay down. Climb up and walk along the upper hallway to the end. Walk out to the palm of the hand of the shiva statue. Insert the 2nd gemstone into the iris [triangle]. Walk back along the hallway to the gap in the railing. Drop down to the lower terrace and pull out the cage from under the balance box. |
 |
[cutaway scene] The arm of the Shiva statue rises and returms to its original upright position. The hand locks and a beam of light streams down to the courtyard below. Go back to the gap in the railing near the courtyard. Attach your grapple to the metal arm and repel down the wall [triangle] back down to the lower courtyard. Release the cable and go to the other mirror statue. |
 |
You'll have to push the statue across the middle rail and around the back, so that the mirrored side of the fan is facing out and can catch the light beam. Slowly slide the statue into place as the light beam locks to the crystal. [cutaway scene] The second beam locks to the crystal. The bindi on the inverted Kali statue glows in an aura. The hands of the statue start to push down exposing a set of steps and a lower tunnel. |
 |
Jump down the steps of the courtyard under the statue. Walk through the tunnel to the inner courtyard. |
