Out of Time - Climbing to the Second Power Node

NOTE: This is the node you were not able to expose earlier because the walkway leading to the corresponding carved panel on the LOWER LEVEL was broken. Although this is the third power node exposed, it will actually be the second node to be destroyed, as described here.

After pushing the carved panel to expose the power stone, let go of the panel and turn around to face the CENTRAL STRUCTURE. There are no moving platforms within reach, so you'll have to climb up to it. Run back to the left along the curved walkway (not pictured).

When you reach the red wall, grapple the ring and this time climb up the wall.

When Lara is hanging just below the ledge on the right with the health potion, begin running from side to side. Run back and forth several times to build momentum and then, when Lara runs to the right, jump to release the cable and grab the ledge. Pull up and take the health.

Then turn around and climb up to the wide ledge above.

Move to the edge nearest the center of the room to trigger a checkpoint. Then go around behind the stone wall to take cover from Natla's fireballs.

Wait for one of the small floating platforms to come within range and jump onto it.

Stand at the outer front corner as the platform moves past the small waterfall and on toward the next buttress support (i.e., the large, stone structure with two lines of red glyphs on it). Jump to the nearest corner of the buttress support when it is close enough to reach. Go around to the back and smash the power node.
