(twin poles). At the end drop to the narrow ledge on this pillar.
Shimmy to the opposite side and stand up under a horizontal pole
Jump to the pillar and shimmy to the

At the end there is a narrow ledge
under Lara
Drop down to the narrow ledge
Shimmy
left around the corner and stand up in the middle with your back to the pillar.
From here you can see there is a similar beam sticking out of the wall like by
the stairs where you started.
Shimmy around the corner and pull up
Jump
to the narrow beam and from here over another head of Quetzalcoatl by a smaller
staircase. You will land on the ledge next to 2 jars.
First jump to the narrow beam
And then a jump to the ledge on top of
the stairs
Break
the brown square jar for Treasure #37. On the right side of the ledge is a
similar brown jar. Extract Treasure #38.
Two treasures in a row: here is #38
Go
inside the room and on the left side just before the flame traps there is a
third such jar: Break open and get treasure #39
The jar with your 39th Treasure
Now
let’s face these flame traps. There are 3 layers of 3 pairs of opposite
Gargoyle heads spitting horizontal flames. These are 9 in total.
Moreover, there are two Gargoyle heads on the floor that spit vertical fire.
They aren’t centered between the walls: the first is a bit to the right and
the second is a bit to the left.
You also see vertical poles sticking out of the walls at different heights. Have
patience and wait a bit on the right side until the first pair runs out of fire
and quickly run to the safe spot to the right of the first floor Gargoyle that
also spits fire on a regular base.
The first pair ceases spitting for a
short while
Run to the safe spot between the first
two pairs on the walls
Jump
to the horizontal pole right above you and hang from it. Stand on the pole, and
when the floor Gargoyle has to take a deep breath walk to the head of the pole
past the dry Gargoyle head underneath and turn right. In this position you
will be safe from the flames of the floor Gargoyle.
Jump to the horizontal pole above you
Stand up
Walk left when the floor Gargoyle is
temporarily “dry”
Turn right
Further
on there is the second floor Gargoyle under a pole sticking out from the left
wall. Basically it is the same series of movements: when it is extinct, jump to
the pole, stand up, and walk right to the S-shaped end. You are safe from that
floor Gargoyle’s fire too.
Here you are safe from the second floor
Gargoyle
When
the Gargoyle needs to cool off quickly walk to the left of the pole to the wall
and jump up to the higher shorter pole. Here is another safe spot.
Walk to the wall on the pole
Jump up to the higher pole
Turn
facing the altar and notice twin poles in front of you sticking out from either
wall at the same height and almost touching each other. Wait for the fire of the
Gargoyle head between them to extinct and then swing/jump to the left
pole and then to the Altar room.
Face the Altar room
Swing/jump to the left of the pair of
poles
Swing/jump to the Altar room
Go
to the Altar and take the red Key.
The red Key on the Altar
Put the Key into your bag
Go
down left and jump to the short horizontal pole.
Stand up and vault up to the higher pole, which is the other twin of the pair of
poles.
Jump to the left pole
Stand up
Jump to the higher pole (the other one
from the twins)
Shimmy
all the way to the end of the twin pole and face the exit. There is a pole in
front of you at the same height but a Gargoyle spitting fire is in between. Wait
for it to tank fuel and swing/jump to the short pole.
Shimmy to the right end of the twin pole
Swing/jump to the next pole when the
fire is out
The
lower pole is right above the first floor Gargoyle. When it gets tired of
spitting fire for a while, let go and quickly shimmy all the way to the left
end.
Let go to the lower pole when the floor fire is out
Shimmy left when it’s safe to cross
The
next pole is above the second floor Gargoyle. When it extinguishes stand up and
jump to it. Quickly shimmy left to be safe from the fire.
Jump to the next pole
Shimmy left
In
front of you notice an alcove in the opposite wall above the door. There is also
a higher pole in between.
Stand on your pole. Jump the second pole. You may end up hanging or already
standing on it. From here you already see that the niche is containing a
Treasure. Walk to the right the S-shaped end of the pole.
Stand up on the pole
Jump to the
second pole and stand up
Walk to the far right
Jump
to the alcove. You will hang from the edge. Pull up and take your 40th
Treasure.
