Toxic Swamp - Third Gateway Crypt

Like the other crypts, this one contains an AMMO CACHE. Equip the grenade launcher and top up your ammo if necessary. Then pull the golden handle just inside on the right. This lowers a wooden wall on the other side of the room, allowing you to get a clear shot at the huge gears on the back wall. But first you have to get there before the handle retracts and the wooden wall pops back up.

To do this, pull the handle as far as it will go, release it, and run/roll between the pods, around the corner and over the spikes.

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

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

If you want to—and especially if you're attempting the 9-minute Reward Challenge—you can try and shoot both gears from the right side, eliminating the need to pull the second handle.

Otherwise, for the second gear, move to the other handle on the left side of the starting area. Pull it as far as it goes, release and run/roll around the corner and over the spikes.

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

Stand on the retracted wooden wall and fire a grenade at the gear.

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