Forgotten Gate - Large Ball #8

When you enter the room with the final large ball beyond a small field of spikes, climb the wooden ledges just inside on the right.

Grapple the golden ring on the wall above. Jump off the ledge and quickly climb up the cable a bit so Lara doesn't swing into the spikes. Swing to the left and jump onto the next set of wooden ledges. Then climb down on the other side of the spikes.

Push the LARGE BALL (8/8) onto the square pad to open the bars so you can get the AMMO UPGRADE. Break the urns for a gem and some ammunition as well.

Depressing the pad also retracts some of the spikes so you can get the gems.

But as soon as you roll the ball off the pad, the last set of spikes will pop up. To get the ball out, roll it onto the retracted spikes and drop a bomb behind it.

Step back onto the pressure pad to retract the last set of spikes and detonate the bomb to propel it across the room.

Then use the grapple ring to get back to the other side.

Roll the ball out the door, down the stairs and into the chute, which deposits it in the ROUND CAGE below.
