DARK MODE?

Palace Midas - Distant Temple and Third Lead Bar

Tomb Raider I Remastered screenshot
Mind the gap between the cave opening and the temple rooftop. If Lara falls down, there are enemies below, and it's a long trek to get back to this point. Draw pistols and shoot 2 bats (32-33). Then jump across the gap onto the roof.

Cross the roof and pick up the THIRD LEAD BAR (17) (plus a save crystal in NG+).

If you're patient, you can kill 2 lions (34-35) and 2 gorillas (36-37) from the roof before climbing down. You'll probably need to hang from the edge to bring the gorillas near enough to target, then pull up and shoot.

When the coast is clear, safety drop from the low end of the roof to the floor. (Lara loses a tiny bit of health doing this. If you're playing it safe, head for the back corner of the roof, near the cave opening, and drop down onto the sloping rocks. Lara will slide to the ground uninjured.)

Approach the temple door, pick up the large medi pack (18) and enter (the door opens automatically). (NG+ players will find another save crystal here.)

Follow the passageway to a switch and use it...

...to open the gate to a GARDEN just south of the DOLPHIN POOL.

Exit the temple, go down the stairs, and re-enter the LOW-CEILINGED ROOM WITH BROKEN COLUMNS at ground level.

Ready weapons to take out the 3 gorillas (38-40) now running around in here. They can climb the low blocks, so this would be a good time to use the shotgun if you have ammo for it. One shot at close range should kill each of them. If you only have pistols, try to jump and evade as well as you can while firing. Continue on through the far doorway to the DOLPHIN POOL, where you entered the level.

Turn right and go downstairs to the gate you just opened.

DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. May I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
