Follow this link for the single-player version.

In the 2-player co-op game, this section is similar except there is no time bomb. Instead, a golden ring is mounted on the wall near where the bomb would be. Deal with the enemies as in the single-player version. (If you like you can work on the crocodile-bombing challenge.)

Then have Lara stand on the left side of the gap in the walkway and grapple the ring. Isis or Horus can then jump onto the cable, starting from the gap in the walkway. As Lara walks carefully around the walkway toward the pressure pad, the Egyptian needs to step back and forth along the cable in order to avoid the flame vents and the round chimneys in order to make it to the left end of the space in the middle of the walkway. When Lara steps on the pressure pad, some of the flames on the ledge above go out, so Isis/Horus can jump onto the ledge with the CLUSTER BOMB LAUNCHER and step on the second pressure pad to permanently deactivate the traps. (Sorry, but due to technical difficulties, I only have one screenshot for this section so far.)

In 4-player co-op, there is no time bomb and 3 pressure pads, one on the lower level where the time bomb would be in the single-player game, plus two more on the upper level. Fight the priests of Sobek (and/or work on the croc-bombing challenge) just as in the other versions. Then, when the coast is clear...

...have one character grapple another across the gap in the walkway. Then another character can jump onto the cable. (You can also do this sequence with two characters riding the cable at once, but it's a bit more difficult.)

As the characters holding the grapple move carefully along the walkways to the right...

...the one riding the cable needs to maneuver in order to avoid the flame vents and the round chimneys.

One of the characters holding the grapple then needs to step on the pressure pad to extinguish the flame vents on the upper ledge, while the other moves to the right end of the outer walkway. Then the character riding the cable can jump up onto the ledge with the CLUSTER BOMB LAUNCHER.

Repeat this if necessary to get the fourth character up on the ledge. Then two can step on the pressure pads there to permanently extinguish the flame vents.

Finally, use the Egyptians' bubble shields to climb onto the ledge on the left to get a red skull (1/5) and other goodies.
