Turn left, jump up to the narrow ledge from and pull up hugging the wall.


The narrow ledge on your left

     

In this position press B4 to vault up to the higher narrow ledge and still one higher up.


The highest of the 3 narrow ledges is L-shaped

 

Shimmy left around the corner and prepare for a jump to a narrow beam on the opposite wall.


Prepare for a jump to the opposite wall


Hanging from the opposite narrow beam

 

Shimmy left past the runes to another narrow beam and pull up. Face the opposite wall and jump to the wide narrow beam.


Jump to the opposite wide narrow beam

 

You be balancing on the narrow beam, so press B3 to hang from it, and shimmy right to the next narrow beam. Pull up, face the opposite narrow beam and jump to it.


Again to the other wall

 

Hang from the narrow beam and shimmy left to the next one. Pull up and jump to a full ledge which is on top of the closed gate in this hall.


Jump to the ledge above the gate

 

Walk to the opposite side, hang left and let go via two wall crevices to the floor.


Let go to the floor past the gate

 

Turn around and climb the stairs leading to an open jungle area.

Before entering the outside landing shoot 5 bats with your Pistols. Then you will get a cut scene where your attention is taken to the left.


You will see these gates on the left

 

Pick up the Health Potion in front of Lara.


A Health Potion on this landing

 

Switch to a heavier Weapon now before proceeding any further. Go into the direction of the stairs on your right. On the opposite landing you’ll see another Health Potion, a jar and two more jars on the floor below.


More goodies to collect later on?

 

Run from the stairs to the two lower jars. They contain nothing. But then you’ll be attacked by 2 red and 2 green reptile monsters like you’ve seen before. Immediately run up the stairs again and shoot them from the first landing. From there you can get all 4 of them by running backwards while shooting, but it takes a while.


The 4 reptiles are attacking Lara

 

Now you can safely return from the stairs and climb the stones on the wall leading to the other ledge where you saw the Health Potion.


Climb along the wall to the Health Potion

 

The jar contains nothing – like usually. Follow left to a narrow beam where you can jump up to. Pull up and vault up to the narrow ledge above.


Jump up from the narrow beam to the narrow ledge

 

Shimmy right and jump right to a narrow ledge.


Prepare for a jump to the narrow ledge on your right

 

Pull up to the narrow ledge, face the top of the pillar and jump to it. Pull up and run/jump to this opposite ledge:


Jump to this pillar top

 

On the other side you can see a ledge with a, metal Lotus Flower, containing a Gem on top. Collect this Gem.


Run/jump to the ledge


Take the Gem from the Flower

 

The Flower is actually a mechanism. It will turn around and open a first of two metal gates you’ve seen before in the cut scene on the first landing. It also opens the first similar gate on top of where you are standing now.


The first gates (of two couples) will now rise

 

Turn around, switch to your Pistols and shoot 6 bats.
Now you probably noticed a ring on the Lotus mechanism. Grapple on this ring and get down from this ledge. Make sure you hang from the correct edge:


Hang from the edge with the circular decoration

 

Slide down to the gate underneath and look left to a ledge with two jars and a Treasure.


Let go to the lower ledge first (in front of the second gate)


Look left at the ledge with the Treasure

 

Hang from the edge and shimmy left. Jump backwards and reach the opposite ledge. As usually, the two jars standing here contain air. Left of the higher ledge is a wall containing climbable stones.
If you walk to the other side of this wall two green ones will attack Lara and some spiders too. Get rid of them first not to get bothered later on.
Now climb the stones and jump upwards to the higher narrow ledge where you will hang on from one hand only. Press B1 to hang from both hands before Lara is falling down, and shimmy all the way to the right until you can pull up and collect Treasure #13.


Pull up here and take your 13th Treasure

 

Hang down from the edge again and shimmy left. Pull up before the branch and jump to the higher left ledge. A red one is going to attack Lara here. Keep running circles while shooting at it.


A nasty red one this time

 

Climb the stones on the wall diagonally right until you pass right to a narrow ledge from where you can pass some more stones. You can reach a narrow ledge in the corner. Let go to the L-shaped narrow ledge below and shimmy right until you can vault up to a ledge containing a Health Potion.


The ledge with the Health Potion

 

Turn around and look at a square pillar containing another Treasure.


Go for Treasure #14

 

Hang from the edge and shimmy around to the end of a narrow ledge under Lara going around the corners. Let go to the narrow ledge.


Let go from this spot


Then jump to the ledge on your right

 

Return to the higher ledge on the left which ledge is the one with the branch where the dead red reptile monster still lying. Climb the stones in the wall again. This time you go all the way up and jump a next series of stones on your left.


End up above this staircase

 

Climb up the few stairs and find Treasure #15 on the right of this ledge.


Treasure #15

 

On the other side you can grab a Health Potion too. On that side hang down from the edge and notice a lower ledge containing Treasure #16. Let go, pull up and collect the Treasure.


Treasure #16 is right below you


Collect your Treasure

 

There is an L-shaped narrow ledge below this ledge. Hang down and let go.


Let go to the L-shaped lower narrow ledge

 

Drop to the floor, turn around and pick up a Health Potion.


Another Health Potion down there

 

When you now proceed you’ll meet your usual bunch of reptiles – red and green ones. So take care of them. (I’ve never seen them in Thailand though, but they do remind me of the giant poisonous Lizards on Komodo Island , Indonesia – or, let’s say: the Raptors in Jurassic park).
In the corner is a rounded jar containing your 17th Treasure. Get rid of some pesky bats flying in too.

Return to where you came down from and chimney jump up to the L-shaped narrow ledge you hanged from before.


Back to the L-shaped narrow ledge

 

Shimmy right and prepare for a jump to the ledge on your right where you pull up. You’re standing on a full L-shaped ledge now.

Hang from this side:


Shimmy left here

 

When you reach the wall dividing the two ledges two red ones will attack. Immediately pull up on this side. The Shotgun works fast with these buggers.


Well done!

 

Now you can hang down again and reach the left side. Jump left past the wall and pull up to the left ledge.

Face a semi square column and jump to a narrow ledge.


Jump up to this narrow ledge


Vault up to the higher narrow ledge

 

This ledge is L-shaped, so shimmy around the right corner and vault up to a higher narrow ledge.


To the higher narrow ledge

 

From here jump up to the top of the column.

Go to the left corner and face the protruding narrow beam on your left side. Jump to this beam and walk to the next ledge.


Jump to the narrow beam


And walk from the narrow beam to the ledge

 

Turn towards the golden grapple ring above the door. Grapple on the ring and jump into the open door.


Grapple on the ring and jump into the opening

 

Pull up and turn right where you will see your second Metal Lotus Flower, with the ring and the Gem. Take the Gem.


Take the second Gem

 

The mechanism will turn and open up the two remaining gates.

Drop down from the rope and reach an alcove with a Health Potion.


Hang from the ring...


...and drop into the lower alcove

 

Pick it up the Potion and turn around seeing a ledge on your right.


Run/jump to the ledge


There’s another Health Potion lying between the plants

 

Do not ascend the stairs but climb the stones in the wall. Jump right to an L-shaped narrow ledge and shimmy all around the corner to your right. Pull up at the end and perform a chimney jump (start from the left wall and reach a narrow ledge higher up).


Climb the stones in the wall...


...and reach this narrow L-shaped ledge with a chimney jump

 

Shimmy left until you can pull up and collect Treasure #18.


Treasure #18 within your reach

 

Getting down to the floor: drop down twice via a narrow ledge.

Then jump to the steps.


Jump to the steps

 

Return to the first Lotus Flower (see higher how to reach) and grapple on the ring again to descend to the lower part where both gates are now open.


Both gates are open: exit

 

Go to Bhogavati Part 3
