Overworld - Khepri Amphitheater: Arena with Moving Columns

Upon entering the Khepri Arena, pick up some health packs and use the AMMO CACHE if you need it before stepping down into the arena proper. The gates close, sealing you inside until you complete the next trial.

Stand on one of the moving disks with Osiris's Glyphs.

Then raise the staff to extend the disk into a spiked column and jump over to the central structure with the Eye of Horus symbol on top.

Drop a remote bomb there and jump away before detonating it.

Damaging the central structure releases several enemies, including scarabs, flaming scarabs, and flaming skeleton archers.

When you defeat them all, 3 moving disks appear, along with a few more scarabs, just to make things interesting. Again, stand on one of the disks and raise the staff to extend a spiked column, from which you can reach the central structure.

Plant another bomb there, move away, and blow it up.

This triggers the appearance of more scarabs, flaming scarabs, and a giant flaming skeleton. In the co-op game there are also a few giant skeletons of the non-flaming variety for an added challenge.

The giant skeletons are not too difficult to defeat if you keep moving and firing. You can also make a skeleton chase you as you drop remote bombs and detonate them when the skeleton moves over them. Just be careful doing this in co-op, since you can injure your companions as well.

When you defeat this round of enemies, 2 spiked columns rise up and begin moving around the inside of the arena, 3 moving disks with glyphs move in the opposite direction around the outside edge, and random enemies continue to spawn until you destroy the central structure. Stand on one of the disks, use the staff to raise a column, jump from it to one of the regular spiked columns, and from there to the central structure.

Drop a remote bomb, jump away, and then detonate the bomb to destroy the central structure and finish the battle.

You're rewarded with a large quantity of gems and a glowing sphere.

Use it to open the TOMB OF THE SILVERSMITH by rolling the sphere up the slope on the right and into the metal cage next to the tomb entrance.
