You can press Duck to drop the stick first, or just jump and Lara will drop it automatically.
Instead of dropping down, jump to grab the handhold on the nearest column.
Return to the edge of the ledge where you climbed up. Press Interact to pull the stick out of its socket, freeing this side of the mechanism. Jump straight up to grab the gold-bound stick protruding from the mechanism. Then turn around and approach the mechanism. Pick up another health potion on the floor to the right. From there, jump to grab the ledge ahead pull up. Shoot another flock of bats and then jump to the top of the next column. From there, jump back to perch on top of the broken column behind you. Continue upward and to the right until Lara is holding onto another narrow corner ledge. Then climb upward onto the rough handholds above. Jump to the next column on the right and then jump and grab to the corner ledge on the wall.Ĭlimb along this ledge to the left. Pull up to balance on the stick and then jump to grab the handhold on the next column. Jump up to grab the stick and turn right. Approach the square column with the hole in it and press Interact again to place the stick in the hole. Stand near it and press Interact to pick it up. There's a stick with gold bands lying on the floor to the left. Then roll under the bar into the room beyond. Kick the breakable jar to find another treasure (11/30). REPAIRING THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MECHANISM: Use the metal ring above to grapple swing across the gap to the opposite ledge. Approach the gap high above the SHIVA/KALI COURTYARD. Turn around, cross the room and turn left. Return toward the mechanism, turn right, drop and hang from the ledge above the area where you killed the bats earlier. Turn around and cross the ledge to find a health potion. Turn left and use the grapple to pull the metal ring out of the mechanism (press Grapple to hook the ring, then Interact to pull), freeing one side of it so it will work correctly. Traverse around the corner to the right and pull up. Lean out toward the other side of the alcove and press Jump twice to leap over to the far wall and then back to grab the edge of the ledge above the one on which Lara was just standing. Pull up onto the narrow ledge in the alcove. Traverse around the corner to the right, then on around the next corner. Could it be one of the legendary snake people?) (NOTE: If you keep an eye on the Shiva statue as you climb, you'll spot another of those reptilian creatures slithering across its lap. Climb diagonally upward and to the right, then downward and right until Lara is dangling from the bottom edge of the ledge again. Traverse around the corner to the right and then climb to the rough handholds on the wall above. Climb to the right as far as possible and then jump the gap to grab the bottom edge of the banded wall to the right. Go forward to the wall and grab onto the horizontal handhold. Then turn so the wall with the rough handholds is on Lara's left. Shoot the flock of bats that attacks Lara. Climb down and to the right, then down and left a bit before dropping to the floor. Drop to grab the rough stone handholds on the wall below. Creepy!) At the end of the hall, roll through the low opening on the right to drop and hang from the ledge. (If you go quickly you may catch a glimpse of a reptilian creature skittering up the wall as you come down the second set of steps. REPAIRING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE MECHANISM: Turn around and follow the hallway to the right up one flight of steps and down another. Here I've designated the left and right sides when facing the Shiva/Kali statue. It doesn't matter which side you do first.
You'll need to repair both sides of the mechanism. If you pull it, the platform jiggles slightly but does not move. The switch on the left is not fully functional yet. SHIVA/KALI STATUE COURTYARD - MIDDLE LEVEL: After the cut scene, Lara is standing on the wooden platform above the courtyard.
