Tomb of Semerkhet - Ra Cartouche Door - Fire and Ice Wraiths
After retrieving the RA CARTOUCHE as described in the previous section, use it to open the door on the west side of the LARGE ROOM WITH TWO DANGLING ROPES.
Climb the stairs to a wide doorway overlooking a ROOM WITH THREE DANGLING ROPES.
A fire wraith emerges from the brazier below and begins chasing Lara. As long as you keep moving, the heat damage will be minimal, but if you stand still, Lara may catch fire. There are two ways to deal with this little hottie: Either drop down into the room with the brazier and climb the ramp to the high doorway on the right.
Run down into a ROOM WITH A BOX AND LEVER.
Use the lever...
...to release an ice wraith from the box. As soon as you pull the lever hop back and start running/jumping again.
After a few moments, the two wraiths will destroy each other. (In the PlayStation game, the two wraiths do not cancel each other out, but they will start to circle around each other and mostly leave Lara alone. See the note in the main walkthrough.)
Now pick up the 2 small medipacks on the ledges to the left and right of the lever.
- OR -
Alternatively, when the fire wraith first emerges...
...turn around and run/sprint back down the stairs...
...out the RA CARTOUCHE DOOR, and in through the BA CARTOUCHE DOOR.
Run off the edge to land on the lower level.
Run to the left...
...and jump into one of the pools near the climbing poles.
The fire wraith will follow and extinguish itself in the water.
Use the crawlspace and ladder in the southwest corner of the room, below the black switch, to exit this area.
Return through the RA CARTOUCHE DOOR and climb the stairs to the ROOM WITH THREE DANGLING ROPES.
If you like, you can climb up to the opening on the right (west) side and follow the hallway down to the ROOM WITH THE BOX AND LEVER...
...so you can pick up the 2 small medipacks. If you must have all kills, you can then pull the lever to release the ice wraith and lure it down to one of the pools in the the room where you found the RA CARTOUCHE, like you did with the fire wraith.
