Land of the Dead - Relic

The following sequence is also shown in this gameplay video.

When the new level begins, drop down to the floor and use the grapple to return the big screw to its original position. You'll know the screw is all the way up when you see a cut scene of the Thor statue lowering its head and moving the hand holding the hammer back toward its chest.

Now go to the tall, free-standing carved pillar on the other side of the screw. With Lara wearing the belt and gauntlets, it glows with blue energy. Use your Thor strength to push the huge column along the groove in the floor until it stops in the depression at the end. With the column positioned here, you'll be able to reach the exit more easily after you get the relic.

Climb back on top of the shorter column—the one you used to jump over to the statue earlier. Jump from the top of the pillar to grab the stairs on the front of the Thor statue; pull up. The rivulets on the steps are safe, but the falling eitr in the doorway is not. So watch out for it.

Walk around behind the hand holding hammer and stand facing Thor's right forearm. The handle of the hammer will now be on Lara's left. Step as close to Thor's forearm as you can. Then jump forward.

Lara should end up balanced a little higher on Thor's arm but not all the way on top (as shown above).

The camera may bug out a bit if Lara gets stuck underneath the hammer. If this happens, carefully inch forward until Lara clears the edge of the hammer and stands up.

Once she's standing on Thor's arm, turn around and climb up onto the hammer.

Step up onto the highest part of the hammer and press Interact to take the RELIC that is Thor's right eye.
