As you return to the left side of the room, the PHARAOH reappears for a last confrontation. This time, several mummies and exploding mummies join the fight.

Concentrate fire on the Pharaoh, since the minor enemies will just continue to respawn until you beat the boss.

Now the old boy is really pissed. In addition to his earlier attacks, he also throws massive tantrums that release blasts of freezing air in a ring around him. When this happens, continue firing, but stay well back so you don't take damage.

As in the previous phases, you'll also need to avoid the active ice vents. There are more of them now, so as soon as you see white circles on the floor...

...run/roll out of the way to avoid injury.

If you must get close to the minor enemies in order to avoid the vents, try planting remote bombs and detonating them as you move away. If it doesn't kill the enemies outright, it should slow them down a bit.

Again, remote bombs don't have much effect on the Pharaoh, but exploding mummies definitely injure him. If you can manage to destroy exploding mummy when it's standing near the boss, it's a win-win.

Repeat these tactics, concentrating most of your efforts on the Pharaoh, and before long you'll reduce his health to zero.

In a brief cutscene, he freezes solid and explodes. Whee!

The gates on both sides of the room open, and you retrieve the SUPPLE ELBOWS OF OSIRIS.
