During the cutscene, Lara takes cover behind nearby wall as a squad of Trinity soldiers arrives.

When you regain control, quickly take aim at the Greek fire urn on the ledge at the middle left, where you first dropped into this area.

Shoot it to create an explosion that will hopefully kill one or two of the 4 Trinity soldiers that enter from the balcony above.

Some of these guys immediately start throwing grenades, so when you see the red grenade icon, scramble away and take cover on the other side of the dais.

As in previous firefights, release Aim to crouch down behind the wall and hold LB/V/L1 to use a bandage if necessary.

The guys from Trinity apparently have not received the memo about Greek fire, since they tend to crouch down behind the explosive urns...

While you're fighting the first group of enemies, more men are attempting to cut through the doors on the west side of the room. You'll hear one yell, "Thermite's through! Set the charges!"

Shortly afterward, they blow through the doors and 3 more soldiers storm in.

If you act fast, a few well-aimed grenades or grenade arrows can take out several enemies at once.

Finish off any leftover bad guys with your weapon of choice. A few have orders to rush you, so keep an eye on your flanks and if anyone gets too close, switch to the shotgun to kill them quickly.
