Obelisk of Khamoon - Artifact #1 (part 3)


Climb away from the corner along this handhold, tapping Interact all the way to go faster. At the end, lean out and jump to grab the next handhold, just a little higher up on the same wall. Quickly climb to the left until Lara is hanging below the dart pipe.


Jump back to grab the top of the square pillar behind. Do not drop down. If you do, Lara won't be able to make the next grab. Do not climb on top of the pillar or Lara will be in the path of the darts. Instead climb around to the other side of the pillar.


Jump back to grab the lower handhold on the next square pillar. Climb around to the right so Lara is on the side of the pillar out of the path of the flying darts. Jump up three times until she's standing on top of the pillar.


Turn left and look ahead. If you're trying to reach the artifact and the horizontal pole to the right has already retracted into the wall, don't go any further. Instead save the game manually, reload at CHECKPOINT 6 and drop down onto the ledge with the switch (as shown in this screenshot from one of the previous pages).

If you are not trying to get the artifact, then go ahead and jump to the stone ledge, pull up, turn left and continue from there, following the main walkthrough.

If the pole is still extended, take a running jump to grab the stone ledge ahead (as shown above), pull up, turn right and take another running jump to grab the pole. Swing and jump to the ledge ahead.


Now you're high above the switch where you started. ARTIFACT #1 is near the middle of the ledge behind a pile of small, dark-colored rocks. Taking it triggers CHECKPOINT 7. At this point, the horizontal pole remains extended. So you don't have to hurry. Return to the end of the ledge, jump to grab the pole and swing back over to the stone ledge.
