Floating Islands - The Cage (Part 1)

Move to the edge of the large, square opening in the floor.

Slide backwards down the slope.

Grab the end of the slope to break Lara's fall and then drop into the cage below.

There's no danger until you pull the switch on the block here to raise the bars. But when you do, 4 knife-throwing cult members attack. The 4 stone guards beyond the lava trenches on each side of the cage won't animate until you approach them. So you can deal with these enemies a few at a time. Here's one possible strategy:

Flip the switch to raise the cage. Then immediately roll, run forward. . .

. . . and climb onto the wall on the left or right side. The square column in the middle prevents you from climbing up there.

The cultists are pretty relentless, but they will not climb up after you. So you can shoot them from above. . .

. . .and use the column for cover whenever they start throwing knives.
