Part 4:
SHIVA AND KALI

 

You’re standing on the middle level where you see the Statues of Shiva and Kali in front whereas left is another Statue carrying a huge balance with a huge scale in each hand.


Shiva, Kali and the Statue carrying a balance

 

Walk to the scale in his right hand (the one you’re facing).


Stand on the first scale

 

Lara’s weight will lower the scale and trigger a mechanism that will lower the upper front right arm of Shiva whose hand is holding some kind of a receptacle.


Shiva’s hand is lowering to the floor

 

Step out of the scale and run straightforward in the direction of a Health Potion by the wall. When you approach it a flock of bats will keep attacking Lara. Switch to Pistols and get them down, these nasty bird imitators.


Now that’s the result of attacking Lara Croft

 

 

Return to the ledge behind the balance and turn right to the stairs. Go up and turn right to ascend your next set of stairs. A green one comes running from above so run backwards from the stairs while shooting it back to Costa Rica.


They can use that green slime for further cloning there

 

Turn right and follow new stars until you see the lowered hand of Shiva and place one of the Lotus Gems into the receptacle.


Place a Gem into the receptacle

 

Return from the stairs to the ledge in front of the scales and take a running jump to the risen scale.


Run/jump from the ledge to the second scale

 

Lara’s weight will lower the scale triggering Shiva’s hand going upwards until both hands are aligned.


Shiva’s arm will rise with the Gem in his hand

 

When both hands are aligned a ray of light will emerge from the Gem of which we now understand is actually a lens focusing the sun light to a spot on the lower level.


The lens throws a light beam to the floor

 

Go to edge of the upper level and overlook the lower level where the beam is pointing to. Turn away from the ledge and grapple on a ring in a large protruding arrow from one the columns.
Hang from the ledge, press B1 + LAS down and end on the lower level. Press B3 to release the rope.


Look down standing on the ledge


Grapple on the ring inside the arrow


Let go from the ledge

 

When you land down a green friend is waiting for you so take your Pistols to offer the starving jungle ants a nice Lizard dinner. Turn to the other side of the lower lever where you see a similar arrow with a ring high up. Stand in front of a female Statue by the perimeter of the big circle in the floor and face the ring with your camera. It’s very hard to find the right spot from where to grapple but once you’ve grappled on the ring walk toward the wall until you are under the ring. Jump up to the wall (B4) and then press B1 + LAS up to ascend the wall from the rope.


This green one is food for the ants now


Find the spot to grapple on the other ring


Ascend the wall

 

When on the upper level press B3 to release the rope. Turn right and jump to the edge of another pillared room. Pull up and run to the other end for your 24th Treasure.


Entering the pillared room


Find Treasure #24

 

Return to the lower level ledge and notice that one of the scales is now missing (has the other been eaten by the ants too?). There is a metal cage on the opposite side that may help. Press B1 to grab the bar and pull it out.


There is only one scale now


Grab the cage by the handhold


Pull it out

 

Place the cage as close as possible to the missing front edge of the scale.


Move the cage towards the scale


Place it against the scale

 

Climb up to the ledge behind the Statue and notice a narrow ledge on one the pillars behind it. Jump to it and vault up to the horizontal pole above it.
Swing/jump to the next and the third pole which the Statue carries in his right hand.


Jump to this narrow ledge


Vault up to the horizontal pole above it


Swing/jump to the second pole


And swing/jump to the third pole

 

Lara’s weight will lower the arm of the Statue causing two things:
The mechanism will trigger Shiva’s left arm to lower with the receptacle in his hand and the scale will rise.


Shiva’s left arm is lowering

 

Jump down to the floor and quickly push the metal cave under the risen scale to prevent it from lowering down. If you’re not fast enough the scale will drop again and Shiva’s arm will rise again.


Quickly push the crate under the scale before it drops down

 

Jump up to the ledge, follow the stairs left-left until you reach Shiva’s hand and place the second Lotus Lens into the receptacle.


Place the second Lens into the receptacle

 

Return down to the scale and pull out the metal cage so the scale may lower again, causing Shiva’s arm to rise – but this time holding the lens in his hand.


Pull out the cage from under the scale

 

A second ray of light will then enlighten the circle on the lower level.


The second focused ray of light

 

Go down to the circle to move the Statues of the Dancers along the tracks.


Descend with the grapple from the ring again

 

Hold the Statue on the diameter track dividing the circle into two halves and push it to the other side of the circle until you hear a click.
Go to the left side of this Statue and push it clockwise around the circle’s perimeter track. After about 180 degrees go slowly in order to get the ray reflected by the fan’s mirror blades in the hand of the Statue. The ray will be diverted to the Crystal on the pedestal.


Start with the Statue on the diameter


Push it to the intersection


Turn left


Push it around the perimeter...


The ray is diverted to...


...the Crystal

Push the second Statue counter-clockwise to the diameter, turn right and push it to the other side of the circle until you hear that click again. Go to its left side and slowly push it until the mirror reflects Shiva’s second ray onto the Crystal.


Push it to the intersection


Now to the other side along the diameter


Slowly pushing until it reflects onto the Crystal

 

Magic is happening! The Crystal will combine both rays of light and send a third beam to the forehead of Kali that will lower the circular platform Kali and Shiva are standing on.


The third ray lowers the platform

 

Under the Statue of Kali is now an opening appearing.

Go through the doorway between Kali’s hands through a passage leading to a small courtyard where you see a Cobra Statue with a golden ring on its head.


Go through the passage


The courtyard with the Cobra Statue

 

Explore every corner of the premises for goodies.
Right of the Statue in the bushes find your 25th Treasure.


Treasure #25

 

Go stand in front of the Cobra from the farthest distance where you can still grapple on the ring. Press B1 to pull the Statue down revealing a large square opening.


Grapple on the ring


Pull out the Statue


A large square opening has appeared
