Toxic Swamp - Third Gateway Crypt

Like the other crypts, this one contains an AMMO CACHE. Equip grenade launchers and top up your ammo if necessary. Then have each character pull one of the golden handles. This lowers a pair of wooden walls on the other side of the room, allowing you to get a clear shot at the huge gears on the back wall. You'll need to get there before the handles retract and the wooden walls pop back up.

It doesn't matter which character takes which side. Here we have Lara on the right and Totec on the left. Here's the sequence:

Both: Pull each handle as far as it will go then release it.

Lara: Run to the left, between the pods, around the corner and over the set of spikes on the right, so as not to accidentally trigger the left spikes and skewer Totec.
Totec: Run/roll around the corner and over the spikes on the left. On the ledge just beyond the spikes, veer around the pod or jump over it.

Lara: On the ledge just beyond the spikes, jump across the gap to the right and then run/roll between the pods to the NE.
Totec: Jump across the gap to the left, and then run/roll between the pods to the NE.

Both: If you make it before the wooden wall pops up, fire a grenade at the gear on your side. If you don't make it in time, return to the handle and try again.

When both gears have been destroyed, a cut scene shows the final gate coming down outside.
