Carefully hop down onto the ledge below the doorway.

Break the ceramic jar on the right to get a box of wideshot shells.

Meanwhile, 2 skeletons emerge from alcoves on the left and right sides of the room. If you shoot the one on the right with an explosive arrow before it reaches the edge, you can simultaneously destroy a third skeleton before it animates.

BUG NOTE: Just be careful you do not destroy the jars against the east wall of this alcove, since this can prevent you from obtaining some items. See the last screenshot below and the footnote in the main walkthrough.

Like so.

Then blow up the skeleton on the left.

Now take a running jump (or a standing jump from the edge)...

...to grab the dangling rope.

Slide to the bottom and turn to face the pedestal in the middle of the room.

Swing toward the pedestal...

...and let go (don't jump) to land there. (Alternatively, you can swing and jump to the ledge on the right, then take a running jump to the platform with the pedestal.)

Take the TRIDENT (1/4).

If you didn't destroy that third skeleton, it will animate now. Wait for it to jump toward you and knock it out of the air with a shotgun blast.

Again, if you want all the pick-ups in this area, do not destroy any of the breakable jars in the east alcove. If you wait until you've dealt with all the skeletons in this room and then shoot the jars, you should get two items. See the next section and the footnote at the end of the main walkthrough for details.
