Part 2 – The Battle with Natla

 

Jump to the opposite ledge in the lava flow and jump over the crack. Proceed and jump to the opposite ledge. Go forward to the edge and look over the room.
Look right and notice a ladder on the opposite wall. Jump to it and climb to the top. You’ll see a steam vent on your left.

     
Get to the top of the ladder

 

Side jump left to the steam vent and immediately vault up to the higher narrow ledge. There is a hole in between regularly spitting fire. You have to avoid the steam and the fire. Immediately vault up to the steam vent above.

  
To the second steam vent

 

Shimmy fast to the left and side jump to the narrow ledge in the left corner.

     
Reach the safe narrow ledge

 

Shimmy left and side jump to the narrow ledge past the gap. Shimmy to the middle of this narrow ledge and drop to the lower ledge. You’ll hang from one hand so quickly press B1. Pull up and take the Large Medipack.

     
Safely drop to the ledge with the Large Medipack

 

Hang down from this ledge again – the same position: in the middle. Drop to the lower narrow ledge and look backward to notice a narrow ledge on the square pillar behind you. Jump backward to this narrow ledge. It’s a long jump so keep pressing B4 and when you arrive press B1 to hang from both hands. Shimmy left around the corner and drop down to a lower narrow ledge and from there to the lower full ledge.

     
A long backward jump to the narrow ledge on the pillar

 

On the ledge turn right and observe the setting. You see two islands in the lava that will lower as soon as this heavy weight woman jumps on them. So jump to the first island and immediately to the second.

     
Reach the second island

 

Immediately turn right and spot a 3rd island and jump to that. Then jump into a tunnel in the opposite wall and find an Artifact at the end. Take your 3rd Artifact.
(now where is that Checkpoint we’re waiting for?)

     
Take the Artifact

 

Return to the entrance and see the two islands that lead to the lower narrow ledge on the opposite wall. Stay far from the edge for your first jump or you will drop into the lava between both islands. Jump past both islands to the narrow ledge where you will be safe. Vault up to the narrow ledge above and shimmy left around the corner. There is a pointed pillar behind you that you have to jump backward to but also notice a hole in the wall on your left that will regularly spit a fire burst in between both pillars.

     
Up to the higher narrow ledge

 

Jump backward to the first pillar and perch. Face the second pillar and quickly jump to it when the flame extinguishes, and immediately jump to the pole in front of you. Take a break when you’re hanging from there and line up Lara with the island in front of the ledge.

     
Reach the pole in front of the next island

 

Swing/jump right after a new fire burst and land on the sinking island. Immediately jump to the opposite ledge. Turn left and see an island in front of a ladder. Jump from the island to the ladder and climb all the way up. Turn right and get that desired CHECKPOINT.

     
At the top of the ladder you’ll finally get that CHECKPOINT

 

You probably already noticed a blue circle pointing to a grapple ring or hook? Turn right and look over the lava pool with the ladder. This whole room is rattling and shaking. Grapple jump and hang from the chain. Adjust your height like in the screenshot. Swing/jump to the opposite ledge where you see a flame burst every few seconds. Stand in the corner away from the cannon that spits the flames and pick up the Large Medipack.

     
Grapple jump to the Large Medipack avoiding the flame burst

 

Turn left and follow this ledge until you can jump to the next ledge with a Large Medipack too. Pick it up and look right to see your next ledge with an Artifact. Collect your 4th and last Artifact of this game.

     
A large Medipack and your last Artifact

 

Return to the ledge on top of the ladder the same way you came. Enter a new room and a cinematic will start where Jacqueline Natla enters the open top of the Pyramid with the outfit of a red flying monster.

     
JN will fly in from the top

 

Thousands of years I’ve waited for this moment! Do you realize what you’ve done? That blood on your hands, do you believe it was spilled for the good of all man, or for your own selfish desire? Look inside yourself, Lara. Your heart is as black as mine.
CHECKPOINT.


This woman is EVIL!!

 

Prepare for the final battle and get your Medipacks ready because now is the time to spend them.
First run into the room and target JN’s wings. And avoid attacks and fireballs by ducking or running back and forth.
When running around and constantly shooting at her wings you will notice that the floor is scattered with Medipacks and Ammo. If you use heavier weapons than your Dual Pistols picking up this Ammo will come in handy.
Keep a good eye on your health bar and don’t be thrifty on Medipacks: you’ll devour them.
When her Wings are destroyed JN drops to the floor and is stunned for a short while exposing a blue-green spot on her back. This is the only vulnerable spot on her entire body. Her health is halfway now.

     
JN’s wings are destroyed

 

When Lara approaches JN will stand up and grab Lara by the throat saying:
I cannot die you fool. Sooner or later you’ll run out of bullets.


You’re halfway now

 

This second part is a fight on the floor.
JN will now throw triples of fire bolts at Lara which you must try to avoid by either hiding behind a column or running from right to left.
Always keep firing at her when doing this.
One problem is that JN continuously will vanish into another position. The red flash will indicate what part of the room she is in then. Lock off your guns and turn into that direction. Lock on JN again and start shooting and ducking again.

When her rage bar is maximal she will charge. Charge too and do a forward Adrenaline Dodge. In slow motion you’ll jump over her while she’ll tumble on her belly. Shoot one bullet when the red circle appears. JN will then be stunned for a while and exposing the blue-green spot on her back. You’ll be facing her after the jump and will still have kept your lock on her. Then fire like hell at that spot and you’ll see her life meter going down. Remember it will last a few seconds before she gets conscious again. You can’t finish her off in one time.

When she gets up repeat the same process until JN’s life bar will be gone and she is seemingly defeated.

However, she’ll get up again with her last powers and an interactive cut scene will start where you have to press the stick as indicated by the Arrows. First press upward.


The first arrow

 

After the first Arrow JN will be hit and Lara jumps over her.

  
Lara jumps over JN

 

Then press the stick downward.

  
JN will throw Lara into a corner on the floor

 

What have you really accomplished here? Nothing but a temporary stay of execution for your kind. This island is just one remnant of Atlantis: I will find another. But you, Lara. You have lost everything.

Lara spots one of her Pistols on the floor. She grabs the Pistol and a second interactive cut scene will now start. Press downward, upward, left.

     
Three arrows in a row

 

JN is still not dead but the Pyramid is starting to tremble and shake and a big pillar is tumbling down. JN looks up and in a fraction of a second looks in the eyes of Death. The pillar crushes her and finishes the job.

     
The end of the glorious Queen Natla of Atlantis

 

No, I haven’t. Lara escapes from the shaking Pyramid by running over the pillar that just destroyed JN.

     
Lara escapes

 

Eventually Lara will escape from the Island and the final cut scene will start.
Lara jumps into the water and swims to the boat she came from earlier, the Lost Island starts trembling and the Golden Pyramid will explode. She looks at her empty hand and there isn’t any blood on it, nor is it holding the Scion.

     
Lara jumps to the boat

 

She smiles satisfied and sails off...

  
Lara sails away into... a new adventure?

Congratulations! You’ve finished this very long and thrilling game.
We hope to meet Lara again soon!
