Part 2
THE THIRD BUTTON

Turn right and left around the support to the edge and let go to a lower ledge (if you Resume the Game from the last Autosave you will be facing the edge of the ledge, so simply go straight). Be careful for Natla's’ fireballs though.

Resume Game

Hang from the ledge

Let go to the lower ledge

Turn around and notice that with the arrival of the new pyramids they are now floating in three different planes of rotation. Jump to a platform rotating in the lowest plane. They are nearest to the ledge and arriving from your left.

Jump to this nearby coming pyramid platform

Turn around so you can observe the outer circle. Take a ride and when the Entrance ledge comes in sight, jump off.

The Entrance comes in sight

Jump to the ledge

Turn left and go a high niche in a support pillar. Jump into the niche and take a Health Potion.

Run left to a niche in a support pillar

Jump into the niche and take the Health Potion

The niche invites to a chimney jump. Start a 3-step chimney jump from the left wall to reach a narrow ledge high up on the right wall.

Start here

First jump to the right

Second jump to the left

Third jump to the right

Shimmy right around the corner. You will pass the gap without having to side jump. Shimmy around the next corner until you reach some climbing stones in the wall.

Shimmy around the first corner

Shimmy past the gap

Around the second corner

End up hanging from the climbing stones

Climb to the top of this section of stones. Now a short Cut Scene shows the camera turning right to where Natla is hovering. She launches a fireball at Lara. Still in slow motion, jump up to the higher section of stones to evade the collision. If you don’t jump up on time Lara will be knocked off the wall and die in the pool below, and you will have to restart all over from the Autosave at the beginning of this Part. When you reach the higher section the slow motion sequence will end. You’re back to normal motion now.

Natla launches a fireball at Lara

Jump up NOW!

Hanging from the higher section of stones

Climb to the top and side jump left to the narrow ledge.

On top of the stones prepare a side jump left

Hanging from the narrow ledge

Shimmy left past two corners and pull up. There is a ledge in front of you.

The first corner

Past the second corner

Pull up

Jump to the ledge ahead (hear an Autosave ping when you hang from it).
Pull up to a circular ledge: a broken segment of the upper ring.

Jump to the ledge

Pull up

Continue along the circular ledge and immediately a Yeti will appear on your right. Blow him into pieces with three Hammer blasts.

Get this Yeti out of your way

At the other end by the next support Natla is hovering and constantly shooting fireballs. Moreover, two Yeti’s are coming your way from that side. Take the Yetis down from here and continue running to the support avoiding Natla’s fireballs and the fires that remain on the ledge.

Natla and two Yeti’s

First blast the Yeti’s away

Avoid Natla’s fireballs

Once you’re under the support you’re safe from Natla’s attacks because she is hovering behind it. A blue grapple sign appears. Look up and notice a grapple ring high up. You will need to grapple on the ring and cross the gap to the next circular ledge segment past this support.

Run under the support to be safe

Grapple on the ring

Jump and hang with your feet against the wall. Climb up a bit and wall run left and right to jump to the opposite circular segment.

Wall run and jump to the next ring segment

Natla has now moved behind the next support from where she launches fireballs at Lara. Run as fast as possible to the safe place under the support and notice you are followed by a Yeti.

Run to the next support avoiding fireballs

Lara is being followed by a Yeti

Once under the support get an Autosave. Immediately turn around and take care of the Yeti that was following you. Inside find a Rune on a moveable tablet.

The Autosave spot

Hammer that sneaking Yeti into pieces

The moveable tablet

Push in the tablet and watch a Cut Scene showing how a third button is exposed above this support.

Push the tablet inside

The third button above

Return to the previous support with the grapple ring. Natla’s gone somewhere else and no Yeti’s are bothering you. Grapple on the ring, jump to the wall and climb up until you see a ledge on your right with a Health Potion on top.

Jump to the wall

Climb up below the level of the ledge

Start wall running from left to right and jump to the ledge.

Wall run until you’ve built enough height for the jump

Hanging from the ledge with the Health Potion

Pull up and take the Health potion. Jump to the ledge behind you and pull up (Autosave ping heard).

The higher ledge

Jump to it

Pull up

Jump to the next ledge and pull up. Quickly run behind a narrow wall and avoid Natla’s fireballs (the lazy bitch is yet still hanging here).

Jump to the next ledge

Pull up

Hide behind the narrow wall

Listen to Natla shouting out her frustration because Lara is out of range. If I were Natla I would have flown around that wall.
Turn right and wait for a high pyramid to pass by. Jump on and have a ride to the top the next support where you just pushed the tablet in. Jump off.

Wait for your ride

Jump on and turn around

Jump to the next support

Turn left around the corner and meet the third button. Stand in front of it and press yellow (interact) to destroy it.

The third button

Destroy it with the Hammer

A Cut Scene shows the camera going up to the tilted beam above this support. It breaks up into pyramids that join the other ones rotating around the central structure.

New pyramids are added to the carrousel

Your screen will then become black for a few seconds. Don’t worry, it is no glitch in the Game! You‘ll hear an Autosave ping before a second Cut Scene will start:
Amanda is entering the scene from the Entrance followed by a Yeti. She jumps to the lower ledge and uses her special force to kill the Yeti. But then she’s smashed to the floor and more Yeti’s enter the scene. Amanda is trying to stop the Yeti’s.

We see Amanda entering chased by a Yeti
