Sublevel
3.2 – Obelisk of Khamoon
Part
3 – Back to the Sphinxes Courtyard
Return
to the ledge of the bridge and turn left. Notice two poles on the wall.
Swing/jump from pole to pole to the opposite ledge. There is a 4th
monolith on your left that still has to lower as a draw bridge, so continue past
two columns where you will find Shotgun Ammo and a Small Medipack, then turn
left and swing/jump from two more poles to the ledge of the 3rd
bridge. CHECKPOINT. Pick up the Small Medipack.
Continue to the 3rd bridge
Walk
up the bridge and take the Ankh of Isis. CHECKPOINT.
You’ve found the Ankh of Isis
Turn
around and enter the hallway. Go right until you meet a new kind of blade trap.
Two spinning blades in each wall that horizontally move in opposite directions.
Stand near the right wall, follow the blade when it moves forward and when both
blades cross (that is in the middle of the grooves) run/roll to the left wall
and run forward to pass the trap.
The
second trap is a pit with a pointed pillar and a vertical double trap door.
Jump
and perch on the pillar.
The first two traps
Jump to the ledge where you’ll hang down and pull up. Notice that there is a narrow pit behind the vertical trap door. When they open run and jump past this combination.
The vertical door trap
Your
next trap is a horizontal door trap in a wider pit. In the middle stands a
pointed pillar. When the doors are closed and about to open, jump to the pillar
and immediately jump farther on to the opposite ledge.
Your last trap
Go
left and reach a ledge overlooking a richly decorated towering room. CHECKPOINT.
Look around to get an idea of its height and depth. On your left is a golden
Ankh that you can reach by three steps and two narrow ledges on the left wall.
The towering room and the Ankh
Jump
backward from the corner of the higher narrow ledge to the Ankh and Lara will
grab it and lower it by her weight. This will initiate a whole set of blade
traps in the room that you really don’t need!
Pulling the Ankh turns the room into hell
Drop
dead so you can restart from the Checkpoint. By doing so you will land on the
floor and see how 3 Mummies are waiting to attack Lara. Good to know for later
on!
So,
you’re standing on the ledge again overlooking this beautiful but potentially
dangerous room.
Look
down to your left and notice a tall block under the second step. Hang from the
step and jump to the block. Looking down to the floor from the edge you can spot
the 3 Mummies here waiting for Lara to devour her. There is no way you can
target them from this height.
Drop down to this tall block
Hang
from the edge and drop down to the lower narrow ledge. Drop down to the lower
narrow ledge and shimmy right around the corner from where you drop down to the
lowest narrow ledge and from there to the full L-shaped ledge.
Reach the full
ledge
From
the smaller leg of the “L” (by the left wall) you will see a blue sign on a
grapple hook. Do not grapple jump from here though because you will not make it
and drop dead on the floor. Go stand in the left corner of the large leg of the
“L” and precisely face the grapple hook after pressing B7 to look from
Lara’s back (this is away from the left wall and you won’t see a blue circle
around the hook from this point). Grapple jump to the hook now. Lower down to
the position as shown in the screenshot so you can swing to the high block in
the opposite corner.
Reach the block in the corner
Those
3 monsters will now be waiting right under Lara. You have to shoot them with
your Dual Pistols but you will have to often change your position, hang down
from the other side and pull up again to lure them towards Lara.
It
will take a while but eventually you will kill one or two from here and then you
can drop down. Kill the last one by running backward and shooting.
Get rid of the Mummies from this block
On
the block you already saw an Artifact in a higher alcove beyond reach. Climb two
narrow ledges and jump up to a balcony where you will hang down and get the next
CHECKPOINT.
Climb up to this entrance
Pull
up and follow the hallway to your right where you will meet the first trap: 2
pairs of spinning blades going back and forth in the walls. The lower and the
higher pairs are moving in opposite directions.
The dual blade trap
Wait
for the higher pair to approach and run/roll under them. Immediately run/jump
over the lower ones. Chances are great you will take some negligible damage this
way.
Go
right-left to meet your 2nd trap. A wide pit with 3 double trap doors
each opening and closing above a pointed pillar. There are also spinning blades
under each ledge.
Stand
in the middle of the ledge but a bit away from the edge and jump to the first
pillar when the doors are about to open. There is a 99% chance that you will be
off balance so immediately press B1 to get balanced and don’t perch but
immediately jump to pole #2, #3 and to the narrow ledge under the spinning
blades under the opposite ledge.
Passing the 2nd trap can be very tricky
Shimmy
to the right and when the blade is left immediately vault up to the ledge and
pull up before the blade can touch Lara.
Evading the spinning blades
Go
left and see the grilled gate at the pool of the Obelisk’s base from the other
side. Left is a wall lever. Pull it down and see how the 4th and last
draw bridge will be lowered. CHECKPOINT.
From behind these bars you can lower the 4th bridge
There’s
no other way but beating the traps you just past but in opposite direction. Use
the same tactics. When you reach the balcony of the towering room get the next
CHECKPOINT.
Turn
right and jump to the square flat pillar in the corner. Jump to the wide narrow
ledge on top and shimmy left until you reach a crack in the ledge where you can
drop down to the lower narrow ledge. Shimmy left and vault up again. This way
you passed the crack in the higher narrow ledge.
Shimmy
left and notice a ledge above Lara. Don’t go there for now, but remember it
for later.
Use the narrow ledges to go left
Continue
shimmying around the corner and prepare for a side jump to the lower narrow
ledge on your left at quite some distance. Keep pressing B4 and quickly press B1
because you will reach the narrow ledge by one hand. This narrow ledge is above
the blue statue of the Dog-like God Anubis (or does it represent a Jackal or a
black Coyote?).
Shimmy
left around the corner and reach the ledge of the alcove that contains the
Artifact you saw before.
Reach the alcove around the corner
Pull up and take Artifact #3. Hang down from the ledge and drop to the floor. Return to the balcony by the two narrow ledges like you did before. Return to the spot on the narrow ledge where you saw the ledge above that I told you avoid on your previous trip to the alcove, and this time vault up. Pull up, climb the low block on your left and jump up to the wide narrow ledge. Shimmy all the way left and side jump to the ledge on your left.
A return trip to reach the end of this narrow ledge
Shimmy
a bit to your left and pull up. Jump to the narrow ledge on your right and vault
up to the higher ledge. Pull up, turn left and follow the ramps leading upward.
The way to the ramps
Reach a ledge from where you spot two crevices in the wall. Overlook the room from here and the way you climbed up, quite some sight huh? Climb up to the second crevice and jump backward to a ledge.
A higher ledge
Pull
up and turn right. A blue circle is indicating a grapple hook on the left wall
and you can see a pillar in the opposite corner with some goodies on top.
Grapple jump and swing to the pillar. Get some Shotgun Ammo and a Large Medipack.
Reach the opposite ledge with two goodies
Grapple
on the hook again and hang from the chain adjusting Lara’s height as seen on
the screenshot.
Start
swinging left and right until you reach the top of the blue part of the wall
painting on your right. Then apply the Gym trick: just before reaching this
height press B7 to see Lara from the back again, press B4 + backward and jump to
the opposite ledge.
The correct way to reach the higher ledge
Pull up and turn right. Notice a ledge with goodies on the opposite side. Left on the wall is a small crevice and a pole further on. First jump to the crevice, shimmy right and prepare for a side jump to the pole.
Prepare for a jump to the pole
As
soon as you hang from the pole it will lower down a bit. Swing/jump to the
opposite ledge. Pull up and collect your 4th Artifact and some Dual
50 Caliber Pistols Ammo (if you need them).
Drop
down to the ledge below taking a little damage.
Take the Artifact and drop down
A
Mummy will suddenly attack. Run backward down the ramp while shooting and it
will be soon ready for a new mummification – if ever.
Now
we will have to get a Checkpoint as soon as possible, because this has been a
very long session without any Checkpoint. Run down the ramps and drop down to
the lower ledge via the narrow ledge in between. Just go the same way but this
time in the opposite direction. Hang from the ledge, shimmy to the right and
side jump to the narrow ledge on your right.
Shimmy
right until you are above the ledge with the small block and drop to the ledge.
Return to the corner pillar (facing the balcony) via the narrow ledges.
Back to the narrow ledges leading to the corner pillar
Don’t jump to the balcony but drop down to the floor and return to the block from where you were fighting the 3 Mummies. There is a narrow ledge from where you can jump to the block. Grapple jump and return to the L-shaped ledge on the opposite side.
Returning to the L-shaped ledge
Ascend
via the narrow ledges to the pillar under the 3-step staircase that led to the
golden Ankh. Jump to the balcony and finally get your next CHECKPOINT. Pull up,
turn right and pass the traps once more to reach the base of the Obelisk. When
reaching the ledge get the next CHECKPOINT.
Return to the base of the Obelisk
Run/jump
to the 4th bridge that is on your left and pull up (you may also take
the two poles on your left if you like). Take the Scarab of Osiris from the
Obelisk. A grilled underwater door will lower down and you will get a new
CHECKPOINT.
You’ve found the Scarab of Osiris
Jump
into the pool, dive in and find the entrance that opened the door situated under
two Hieroglyphs of the underwater base of the Obelisk.
Above the entrance
Go up again, take a deep breath and dive through the underwater tunnel. Repeatedly press B1 to speed up and at the end of the tunnel swim up where you can take a breath. You’ll end up in front of a ledge with some goodies.
The underwater tunnel leads to a ledge
Pull
up and take a Small Medipack and some Mini SMG Ammo.
Notice
a wall lever left of the ladder. Pull it and see how the Pharaoh statues in the
room you were in a while ago will retract, creating an opening to the lower
level where Lara is now standing. CHECKPOINT.
Climb
the ladder and enter the room with the Pharaoh statues. CHECKPOINT.
Reach the room with the 6 Pharaoh statues
Go
right-left-right-left-left-right and enter the courtyard with the two Sphinxes
and the Obelisk you have visited at the beginning of this Sublevel. By the
entrance a Centaur will be waiting for you. Lure him out, and run backward into
the hallway while shooting and he’ll be dead in no time. No messing around
with shields and petrifying rays here.
Walk
to the Obelisk where there is a receptacle in each of the 4 faces. Place the 4
Artifacts from the Obelisk of Khamoon into the matching ones.
Watch
how a double gate will then open in the courtyard.
Behold your exit
Then
you will get the completion window of this Sublevel.
Your completion window
Now let's go to Sublevel 3.3: Sactuary of the Scion, Part 1 - The Scarab Mechanism
