Move forward, left, then forward again to get the attention of the lizard sitting on the gray platform.

Step back, then right. The lizard follows but remains two spaces behind Lara.

Push the pillar in the middle of the room forward off the pressure pad.

Now step to the upper left. When Lara moves off the pressure pad, the gray platform rises. Meanwhile, the lizard continues to follow along.

As you move to the right, the lizard steps onto the pressure pad, lowering the gray platform so you can then move onto it.

As Lara steps onto the platform, the lizard steps off the pressure pad, causing it to rise once more and carrying Lara to the upper level. Break the vase on the shelf above and to the left of the gray platform to obtain a SAPPHIRE (22/32). Then move forward three times into the upper corner of the room.

Push the freestanding pillar to the left onto the pressure pad next to the snake. Doing so lowers the orange platform with the snake sitting on it.

Now push the pillar off the edge so it crushes the snake down below.

Step off the pressure pad, causing the orange ledge to rise up again so you can step onto it.

Drag the pillar to the middle of the orange ledge. Then move around beside it and drag it onto the tan floor.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move around to the right side of the pillar and push it onto the pressure pad to lower the orange ledge once more.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb down onto the orange ledge and break the vase on the left to get another SAPPHIRE (23/32). Then move to the right to re-enter the area where you started.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The lizard is still focused on the gray platform, so he won't trouble you. Move onto the pressure pad and then pull the pillar onto the pad.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now go around to the left behind the pillar. You can shoot the lizard by approaching it from the side or just ignore it.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar to the lower left. Then move around to the lower corner and push the pillar forward to the end of the orange ledge.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb back to the upper level and move around to the right side of the pillar sitting on the pressure pad.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar off the edge so it lands on top of the pillar below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Hop onto the stacked pillars.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
As Lara moves off the pressure pad onto the pillars, the orange ledge rises, bringing her level with the doorway. Hop across to the ledge and go through the door.

In the next area, step forward twice to reveal a vase below on the right. Smash it to get another SAPPHIRE (24/32). Then move onto the pressure pad in the middle of the room (the one with the orange diamond). Standing on this pad, activates the block trap on the ledge above, but this doesn't do anything useful yet.

Pull the freestanding pillar onto the pressure pad.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around to the lower right side of the pillar and push it into the space in front of the lizard.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now you can climb onto the upper ledge without being seen by the lizard. While you're up there, smash the vase on the ledge in the background to obtain another fragment of THE FROZEN SPIDER relic (9/12).

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar on the upper ledge to the left, so it's sitting in front of the block trap.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Then climb back down and stand on the pressure pad with the orange diamond to activate the trap, shoving the pillar off the ledge and crushing the lizard in the process.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the right pillar onto the pressure pad with the orange diamond.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Then move around to the lower left side of the pillar and push it once to the upper right.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move around to the upper left side of the pillar and push it onto the second pressure pad with the gray diamond.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
This raises the gray block so you can reach the doorway.

- OR -

Treeble suggested this alternative strategy for the last puzzle, leaving out the second pillar and avoiding the lizard rather than killing it.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
As you enter this area, step forward twice to reveal a vase below on the right. Smash it to get another SAPPHIRE (24/32). Then move onto the pressure pad in the middle of the room (the one with the orange diamond). Standing on this pad, activates the block trap on the ledge above, but you can basically ignore it, since it doesn't figure into this alternative strategy.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the freestanding pillar onto the pressure pad with the orange diamond.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move counterclockwise around the pillar to the upper corner to get the lizard's attention.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Return clockwise around the pillar to the left corner. The lizard follows and ends up on the node to the right of the pillar.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar off the orange pressure pad. Lara ends up on the pad, and the lizard moves into the lower corner.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move around to the upper left side of the pillar. The lizard follows, still two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar twice, onto the pressure pad with the gray diamond.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
This raises the gray block below the exit. To get there without meeting the lizard, move to the lower left, then the upper left onto the orange pressure pad.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
From there, continue to the upper right, climb the gray block, and proceed through the exit.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The final area has no puzzles or collectibles. Just move forward to finish the level.
