Barkhang Monastery - Inside the Monastery
After entering the monastery, either via the stone ledges (here) or the ladder (here), Lara finds herself in a small LIBRARY/READING ROOM. Proceed into a T-shaped hallway.
Ignore the room with the wooden barrels straight ahead for now and turn left into the hallway with red banners hanging from the ceiling. At the far end is a set of locked doors. A monk (4) patrols this area. On the right is a room with rolling blades. Avoid it for now and instead enter the room on the left.
When you do, a brown-cap enemy (6) appears in the hallway behind you, and another monk (5) rushes past you to meet him.
The guy with the brown cap won't harm the monks, so just hang back and wait for them to deal with him.
Wait under the red banners until both monks return toward you before running into the room with the barrels.
As you enter, a enemy with camo pants (7) breaks in through the window. He will harm the monks. So kill him quickly.
Gather some Uzi ammo and a small medi pack (5-6) from the first enemy...
...automatic pistol ammo (7) from the second...
...and grenades (8) on the ledge outside the window where the gunman entered.
Make a mental note of the wooden door and keyhole in the room with the barrels. This is the STRONG ROOM. You'll find the key soon. Exit this room the way you came.
Turn right into the hallway with the red banners, then re-enter the room on the left.
Inside is an alcove with a ladder.
Climb it to reach a walkway above the MAIN HALL.
DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, 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 official add-on/extension site.)
