The Lost City - Ambush at the Inner Gate (Part 3)

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot
With those four out of the way, run back around to the south side of the room...

...as another pair of archers appears on the north wall, and 3 more soldiers—2 swordsmen, one with a polearm—enter through the north gate.

This time concentrate on the swordsmen first. They run straight at Lara intent on killing her. It's difficult to get enough distance between you to use poison or fire arrows without taking damage yourself, so the Dodge Counter/Kill and/or shotgun are probably your best bet.

Here I try to do a little damage with dragonfire shells while backing away from their charge.

Then, when one of them lunges, I press B/C to dodge.

Wait for the melee icon and press Y/F when the gray circle contracts to the center to deliver the finisher. Then repeat with the second swordsman.

For the slower enemy, either use the same tactics or try to lure him close to one of the Greek fire urns...

...run away, and then shoot the urn to blow it up. If he survives the blast, finish him with your weapon of choice.

Finally use special arrows or whatever you like to take out the 2 archers, who by now will probably have jumped down from the wall. This should finish the fight.

Don't be afraid to use bandages during the fight if things get rough. There are herb plants in 3 corners of the room to replenish your supplies afterwards.
