Baba Yaga DLC - Boss Fight (Part 6)

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot
After a successful blast from the fourth vat, Nadia contacts Lara by radio. She drops the news we've probably all suspected, but this doesn't affect your mission. You still need to defeat the witch. Pick up some loose feathers lying near the rope-wrapped barrier and use a rope arrow to pull it down.

Go through, get some ammo and herbs, and then use your axe to activate another mechanism. This adds a second set of platforms to the ones already circling the room.

Before going any farther, take out an archer who spawns on the far side of the room.

Then jump onto one of the platforms as it moves past, ride it around to the northeast side of the room, and jump onto the ledge there. This is the same one with the third vat (marked C on the map).

Since you've already used this vat, it no longer works, but you will need to fight 2 more archers and 3 swordsmen before you can move on. There are several stone blocks you can use for cover, in addition to the vat and lever. Just watch out for the hole in the floor on the upper ledge.

When you've taken care of these enemies, loot their packs, climb onto the elevated wooden walkway, and follow it to the upper end. (This walkway is shown on the level map running from the east wall out toward the middle of the room.)

Jump onto one of the moving platforms here on the highest level and ride it around to the ledge on the opposite side of the room.

Try to pick off 2 enemy archers as you approach.

Jump onto the left end of the ledge where they were standing. Then take cover as more of the witch's minions come at you from the right.

A pair of wolves charges first. Put them down with the shotgun.

Then deal with 2 swordsmen and 3 more archers.
