Objective
Chase Xolotl to the Island Tomb
As soon as the mission begins look behind and above you. There’s an Ammo Upgrade you can grab by latching onto the grapple ring above the door.
Move forward toward the steps and you’ll gain a level map showing the path that you need to take through the swamp. Go down the steps and you’ll see some green pods. Green pods explode on impact, or when you shoot at them. When they explode they’ll send out a poisonous gas which will kill swamp monsters. You’ll see an example of this as soon as you jump over the first batch of green pods.
Press forward into the next clearing and pick up the first red skill near the three green pods. Take a right up the steps and to the first Challenge Tomb. Grab the red skull on the roof before entering the tomb.
Challenge Tomb
Head to the lower section where you’ll see a spinning ball. You need to get the ball onto the upper platform. You do this by placing a bomb right by the post in the centre and trying to time the detonation so that the ball lands on the three green pods just below the platform. Do this and it will propel the ball up. This can be tricky and if you don’t do it the first time it’s worth dying so you can re-set the ball spinning. Once you’ve got it up, place it on the fiery hall, walk across and grab the artefact, the Stone Feather.
Out of the tomb, head down the steps and take a right across the bridge until a cut-scene kicks in.
” This land rots as the Mirror grows stronger,” shouts Xolotl. ” This world will know my revenge.” Creatures will explode from the green pods. If they get close to you they’ll unleash their poison and drain your health. When you shoot them they’ll explode and leave a trail of poisonous gases around them. Shoot them from a distance.
Find and open the first of three large gateways.
Take the route up the steps and into the building. In this first room you can pick up a grenade launcher which can be used to destroy objects at range. Pick it up, equip it and then shoot at the two cogs on the left hand wall. This will open the first gateway.
Find and open the second gateway
Head to the open gate. As you approach you’ll be attacked by poisonous swamp monsters and lizards so keep your distance and back peddle up the steps if you need to. Head through the gate to the next area where you’ll see the green glowing health shrine. Head North across the water, jumping over the platform to reach the next Challenge Tomb. There’s a red skull on the roof of the Challenge Tomb.
Challenge Tomb
Equip your grenade launcher. You need to move the ball into the fiery pit by firing the grenade launcher. If you run out of ammo refill at the ammo station in the bottom left hand corner. You grenade launcher has a long range so you can move slightly up the steps backwards to get a good angle. This can be frustrating, but keep firing and you’ll eventually get it in and pick up the Three Arrows of Tezcatlipoca.
Keep your grenade launcher equipped. Out of the tomb, head down the side of the temple and to the West. Keep heading in this direction until you come to the bottom of some stairs. You’ll face a large creature here. Back right off and use the grenade launcher to take him down. An area that was full of green gas will now clear. Head down into this area and shoot all the green pods. This will prevent the green monster from being able to spawn. Grab the rolling ball in the North of this area. To complete the Reward Challenge “Heal the rolling ball” pick it up and roll it back to the green healing shrine. to get it over the ramps on the way back you may have to use a bomb.
There’s a couple of skulls to collect on the way to the shrine which you can now get to because the green gas has gone. The first is on a stone pillar just to the west of the last Challenge Tomb. Head directly South from this pillar to find the next stone pillar which is surrounded by green pods. Stick a couple of spears in it and climb up to get the next red skull. Now get the rolling ball to the green shrine to heal it.
Head back to the area where you found the rolling ball and enter the tomb with the blue fiery lights outside. Head down the two flights of stairs and stock up on ammo.
Clear the maze without taking any poison damage
Keep to the outside of the maze working your way around in an anti-clockwise direction. Move slowly and shoot every green pod you see before you advance and then wait for the poison to settle. You’ll unsettle some green monsters by doing this so get ready to take them down. You’ll also have a few huge ogres try and attack you. Place down bombs and move backwards through the maze detonating them. Watch out for the explosion when you kill the ogres as you can get caught in the cross-fire. When you get to the far right-hand side of the maze you’ll see a pressure pad. Jump over the green pods to activate it and then head through the gate that overlooks the two cogs. You need to equip your grenade launcher, stand on the two pressure pads and shoot down the cogs to unlock the second gateway.
Find and open the final gateway
Head back out of the room, up the small flight of steps and head toward the large set of steps in the West. Head up the stone ramp and then embed a spear in the wall opposite so you can jump across. Just on your left hand side in this area, on a platform, you’ll see a red skull. When you grab it a monster will appear and spit green poison at you. Kill it swiftly with the grenade launcher. At this point you should start to achieve the Score Challenges. In this area, look out for the spear embedded in the stone. Jump up and onto the platform
Grapple and run across the gap picking up the Health power-up. Keep pressing forward, being sure to avoid the green pods. When you move up the first set of steps, shoot all the pods and kill all the green monsters before progressing. Keep to the right here and just to the right of the next large flight of stairs you’ll find another red skull. Keep pressing forward until you reach the bridge.
As a group of enemies get nearer the bridge will collapse. You have to move to the right to avoid falling to your death and then to the left. Don’t bother trying to kill any creatures just concentrate on getting to the end in one piece. On the right hand side of the bridge you’ll see a red skull, grab it quickly and get to safe ground.
Head down the steps to the green health shrine. Directly South of here you’ll see a red skull on top of a platform, just behind the two green pods. You can climb down the ladders here, but when you hit the bottom you’ll be attacked. You can place some bombs and then head back up the ladder and flank them if you need to. When everyone is dead press on across the wooden bridge and up the steps into the building.
At the bottom of the stairs on your right is a gold lever. There are two of these in this building. When you pull it you’ll open up a path so that you can shoot the two cogs with your grenade launcher. Pull the first lever and then follow the pathway to the first cog, run quickly across the pressure pads and avoid green pods. Notice the Ammo power-up in the centre of the building. You just need to run across the pressure pads quickly to gather it. Now activate the second lever and fire a grenade at the second cog.
Gain entrance to the tomb in the lake
Head out of the building and get the gate that you just opened. In the room you need to fire the rolling ball down the corridor into the fiery pit. If you can do this in 30 seconds or less you’ll complete a Reward Challenge. Just place the bomb behind it and let it fly down the stairs into the pit. If you don’t make it you’ll manually have to push the ball across pressure pads to get to the pit. Exit the building once you’ve placed the ball in the pit.
There are plenty of green monsters to contend with here so make sure you blow up the green pods and kill them before you progress. Keep pressing forward, but don’t cross the wooden bridge just yet. Check out the right hand side and head down the steps. There’s a stone pillar here with ladders running up it. Climb up and grab the final red skull from the top.
“You will soon see the darkness this mirror has shown me!” shouts Xolotl. This is the final challenge. Head up the steps to the left and pull the gold lever. Now go around the back of the building and pull the lever on the right. Go to the front of the building and step on the pressure pad in front of the door. The green pods will start to explode spreading poisonous gas everywhere. Ignore Lara’s pleas to “run.” Just park yourself in the gap at the bottom of the steps, just to the left of the door. You can’t be affected by the gas here! Once the gas has vanished, stand on the pressure pad again but get ready to move again to the same spot before it the door crashes down and kills you. Now enter the building and you’ve completed the level!
