Move forward to the upper corner. Then push the tan pillar to the right, onto the cracked floor.

Pull the pillar back and then push it onto the cracked floor once more. This time it falls through so the top of the pillar is level with the floor.

Now Lara can hop across the pillar to reach the lever.

Pull the lever to raise the orange ledge, revealing a vase containing a SAPPHIRE (19/32).

Step forward then right, into the lower corner of the platform. Then push the pillar on the right into the right corner.

Step left, onto the cracked floor.

Grab the pillar blocking the doorway and pull it onto the cracked floor so it falls into the hole.

At this point you could take a few moments to unlock the Getting Crafty achievement/trophy. Drag the pillar in the upper corner one space to the left. Move around to stand on top of the pillar in the hole. Then pull the pillar blocking the doorway onto the pillar sitting in the hole. Stacking the two pillars unlocks the achievement. Don't worry if you forget to do this, since you'll have another opportunity later in this level. (See below.)

Exit through the well-lit doorway.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
In the room above, break the vase on the ledge above the movable pillar on the right to get another SAPPHIRE (20/32). Then move forward and left so Lara is in position to grab the left pillar.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the pillar away from the wall.

Now go around behind it and push it twice, so it falls off the ledge crushing the snake below.

Climb down onto the ledge where the snake was sitting and grab the SPEAR.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb back up and use the spear to kill the snake sitting beyond the lever.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now you can safely move forward and pull the lever to lower the gray ledge.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Approach the next snake from the right side to kill it with your pistols.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step to the left twice. Then grab the tan pillar to the right of the doorway and pull it away from the wall.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around to the left side of the pillar and push it onto the gray ledge as far as it will go.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now pull the lever again to raise the gray ledge, with the pillar on it, to its original position.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around to the left and climb on top of the gray ledge.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the tan pillar forward three times to position it next to the orange block. Meanwhile the spider paces back and forth next to you but will not move sideways to attack.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around to the left side of the pillar you just moved. As you do this, the spider moves back into the right corner. Since he's now in your way, spend two turns moving back and forth (or left to right) so the spider moves off to the left once more. While you're here, break the vase in the background to obtain another SAPPHIRE (21/32).

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now push the pillar forward twice. The first push moves it into the spider's path. The second push sends it off the edge onto the ledge below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move back toward the orange block to get out of the spider's way. Then move around to the left side of the other tan pillar.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the pillar once toward the middle of the room.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Then go around behind the pillar and push it once to the right.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around to the upper right corner and push the pillar three times, so it falls off the ledge and lands on top of the first pillar. As you do this, the spider continues to moves back and forth but should be out of the way by the time Lara moves into its path.

At this point you should also unlock the Getting Crafty achievement for stacking two pillars, if you didn't do so earlier in this level.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Jump onto the stacked pillars and from there to the ledge with the lever.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the lever to raise the orange block.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
As you hop back onto the pillars, the spider should be moving away to the left, leaving a clear path to the orange block and the exit above.
