The Lost City - Skirmish at the West End of the Bridge

A squad of Deathless soldiers is waiting here for Lara. There are 9 enemies in all, each exhibiting slightly different behaviors. When you first arrive, the enemies only begin to appear if you step forward, so you can take a moment to select your weapon of choice..

If you die or deliberately reload the checkpoint, Lara starts the sequence hanging from the ledge. You'll need to select your weapon and pull up quickly before the enemies approach.

A swordsman and a heavy soldier with a polearm charge first, while an archer and a foot soldier with a shield appear on the stairs to the left. If you can take out one of the first two attackers with a poison arrow as he approaches, that will make things a little easier.

Then switch to the shotgun and use dragonfire shells or the Dodge Kill maneuver to dispatch the other.

Or, start by moving close to the wooden structure on the right, so the archer on the far left can't hit you while you're fighting the foot soldiers. As they charge, target either one...

...and take him out with a Dodge Kill.

Move out of the corner so you don't get boxed in by the other soldier.

Then finish him with the shotgun, a poison arrow, or another dodge.

Meanwhile, the archer and soldier with a shield take up positions on the staircase on the left side of the room, shooting fire arrows and throwing chunks of explosive ore, respectively. The wooden structure on the right will protect you from the archer while you take out the shielded guy with a poison arrow.

Then you can step out a little farther to target the archer or the Greek fire vessel near him.

Like so.

Next come 2 more soldiers with shields, who gradually make their way toward you from the back of the room. Depending on where Lara is standing, they may approach along the center, left, or right aisles. They move slowly, so you can usually hit them as they approach using the shotgun, special arrows, or Dodge Kill.

Or, if they happen to be handy, use environmental hazards like the Greek fire vessels....

...or the hanging braziers, which can be shot...

...to dump fire on anyone standing below.

Finally, you must take out 3 more archers, who tend to stay near the back of the room at first but may creep closer as the battle progresses. Unless you're under fire and happen to have a clear shot, you can leave them for last. Just steer clear of the puddles of Greek fire their arrows leave behind. Since the archers don't wear helmets, you may be able to kill a few of them with headshots (above).

Or use regular armor-piercing arrows (don't forget to hold the fire button before releasing to charge your shots), poison/fire arrows (above), or the environmental hazards, as shown earlier.
