Menkaure's Pyramid - At the Base of the Pyramid

You'll notice some enticing flat areas on the face of the pyramid just begging you to climb them. Wait for just a little while and you'll be able to save yourself some backtracking. For now, head to the east...

...toward another deep excavation pit with a building on the other side. To get across , walk to the corner of the square ledge that juts out over the pit and turn right. Adjust Lara's angle so she's facing the slightly taller, darker block ahead.

Hop back from the edge and take a running jump to grab that block.

Pull up, start to slide down the other side...

...then jump forward across the gap to land on the sandy ledge beyond.

Hop over the sloping edge of the pit to the open area on the left.

Kill another giant beetle as you approach the door to the building.
