The first gatekeeper is similar to a shield demon only much bigger and tougher. You must destroy its huge shield before you can even begin to damage the creature itself. So start by hitting it with a grenade or rocket to remove its shield.
Then switch to a weapon that uses less ammo if you like. As you fight the gatekeeper, it attempts to charge at Lara and pound her, so try to keep your distance. It also shoots pink energy bolts similar to the shamans' attacks. Avoid them if you can.
Meanwhile, several other enemies—including fire shamans, skeletons and fire-breathing lizards—join in. You can retreat back down the stairs to the north as you fight, but the exits to the east and west are blocked by flames until the battle is over.
Afterward, pick up the glowing, GOLDEN KEY (1/3) the gatekeeper dropped when it lost his shield. This is one of three keys you'll need to open the MAIN GATE to pursue Xolotl.
