Lara Croft GO screenshot
From the starting point, move forward twice to get the lizard's attention.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move to the lower right once, then twice to the upper right. The lizard follows. Smash the vase to the right of the exit to obtain a piece of the SACRED BEETLE relic (8/11).

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move once to the upper left, then the lower left to reach the switch. The lizard continues to follow two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the switch to lower the pink block. As you do this, the lizard moves into the corner where it started. The pink block remains level with the floor for six turns until the switch retracts.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move around the left side of the switch onto the pink block to get the SPEAR. As you do this, the lizard loses sight of Lara and settles back down in its starting position.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step off the pink block, back onto it, then off again to run out the timer and allow the switch to retract.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The pink block rises and the lizard once again notices Lara.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move away from the pink block to the lower right. Then move twice to the upper right and twice to the lower right, so Lara ends up standing on the gray pressure pad. This shifts the gray blocks toward each other. Meanwhile, the lizard follows two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move off the pad to the lower right, then to the upper right, upper left, then lower left, so Lara ends up back on the pressure pad. Meanwhile, the lizard moves over the pad and into the right corner.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move twice to the left. As you go, the lizard follows, moving onto the pressure pad. Throw the spear at the lizard, immobilizing it on the pressure pad for the next four turns and keeping the gray blocks in the position shown in the screenshot above.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step over the lizard then to the right, onto the larger of the gray blocks. Then move to the left side of the block, so Lara is standing next to the first of the 2 movable pillars.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Meanwhile, the lizard revives, but since Lara is now out of its line of sight, it stays where it is on the pressure pad. Pull the pillar once.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now step to the lower left twice. As Lara moves onto the pressure pad, she shoots the lizard, disabling it for four more turns.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move off the pressure pad toward the upper left. Move to the upper left again, then to the upper or lower left and back again. When you finish this maneuver, the lizard revives and notices Lara.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Lure the lizard off the pressure pad by moving to the upper left into the corner, then to the lower left next to the switch.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now pull the switch. The lizard continues into the corner, but the extended switch prevents the lizard from following Lara any farther. (Using the switch also lowers the pink block, but this isn't important. The main thing is to stop the lizard.)

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Return to the pressure pad. Then move to the upper right.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Grab the pillar and drag it off the gray block.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around behind the pillar and push it onto the pressure pad.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
With the pillar on the pad, the gray blocks remain near each other. You can then move over the double-sized block to reach the second pillar.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the second pillar twice.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Return to the first pillar and push it off the pressure pad onto the ledge below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step off the pressure pad toward the upper right. When you do, the gray blocks slide back to their original positions. The second pillar should then be directly in front of Lara.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the second pillar to the lower left.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Go around behind the second pillar. As you move off the pad, the gray block slides back so you can do this.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the second pillar onto the pressure pad, then on top of the first pillar.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now move two spaces back toward the lizard, then two spaces to the lower left, then once to the upper left. The lizard should then spot Lara and spring to attention.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Retrace your steps back to the pressure pad. As you go, the lizard follows two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step off the pressure pad toward the upper right. The gray blocks then slide back to their original position. The lizard continues to follow. Now step forward onto the gray block.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The lizard, still following Lara, moves onto the pressure pad, causing the gray block—with Lara standing on top—to slide to the left. Step off the gray block onto the walkway near the exit.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The lizard then moves off the pressure pad, and the gray blocks return to their original positions, enabling you to reach the exit. (Be sure to smash the vase to the right of the exit to get the SACRED BEETLE fragment if you didn't do so earlier.)

Lara Croft GO screenshot
In the next area, step to the right and break the vase in the background to obtain an OBSIDIAN (10/13). Then move twice toward the lizard to get its attention.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb to the upper level, with the lizard chasing after.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move three spaces to the lower right, once to the upper right, then twice to the upper left, so Lara ends up next to the freestanding pillar. Meanwhile, the lizard follows two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the pillar once. The lizard moves forward as you do this but can't go any farther with the pillar block its path. It then settles down to wait.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step to the lower right, then to the upper right into the space where the lizard is sitting. Lara shoots the lizard, disabling it for the next four turns.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move back around to the lower left side of the pillar and push it back to its original position. With the lizard out of commission, it's safe for Lara to stand directly in front of it.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step over the lizard and onto the pressure pad with the tan diamond. This triggers the arrow trap below the exit, but the movable pillar protects Lara from the flying arrows. Now move to the right to grab the SPEAR.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move back onto the pressure pad (again the pillar shields Lara from the arrows). Then move toward the lizard to shoot it with your pistols, disabling it for another four turns.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move to the upper right, lower right, upper right, then upper left (or any other combination of moves that puts you in this same space after four turns). The lizard then reanimates and fixates on Lara once more.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move around to the right and onto the pink pressure pad. This lowers the pink block with the snake sitting on it. Meanwhile, the lizard follows Lara, two spaces behind.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step to the left onto the cracked floor. As Lara moves off the pink pressure pad, the pink block rises again, and the lizard continues to follow.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Step to the lower right off the cracked floor. As you do this, the lizard moves onto the pink pressure pad, lowering the pink block once more. Throw the spear at the snake. Unlike the lizard, it doesn't regenerate, so that's the end of it.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move to the upper right. As you do, the lizard continues to follow the same path Lara took, moving onto the cracked floor and falling through. You can now move back around to the pink pressure pad and climb up to the exit.
