After sliding down into the SQUARE HALLWAY WITH THE DEAD SOLDIER and picking up the LASER SIGHT if you need it, as described in the main walkthrough, follow the hallway around to the southwest corner (to the right of the stairs). Jump to grab the horizontal crevice.

Traverse around the corner and on to the right (east)...

...to a ledge where you can pull up.

Turn around to face the small opening into the center room.

BUG NOTE: A few players have reported a bug in the next section, so I recommend saving the game before shooting the blue orb. Sometimes when you release the ice wraiths, they will chase Lara to the pool, but only one of them will be extinguished. When you return to the SQUARE HALLWAY, the other will still be flying around causing trouble. If that happens, you can reload and try again.

Don't shoot the ceramic jar on the ledge. This only releases a swarm of locusts. Instead aim carefully and shoot the swinging blue orb inside the room. (You can do this using the revolver or crossbow and laser sight or, to conserve ammo, crouch at either side of the alcove, wait for the orb to swing to that side and shoot it with the pistols.)

NOTE: If you do release the locust swarm, there's no way to actually kill them. You can either run away and wait for them to disperse or try saving the game in a new slot and then reloading. Doing so should cause the locust swarm to disappear.

When the orb shatters, 2 ice wraiths emerge.

Hop down and run to the right, around the corner...

...and up the stairs.

...

Slide into the pool. The wraiths will follow, extinguishing themselves.
