The Midgard Serpent - Middle Level Detail

After climbing across Thor's shield and jumping back to grab the square column, as shown in the previous set of screenshots, climb around to the left until the first 2 thralls emerge from the pool.

Then climb back to the right a bit so Lara is hanging above the eitr. Now you can shoot the thralls with one pistol, and they can't reach Lara. They also won't spit at her. If you allow them to approach and shoot when they're standing at the edge of the ledge, most of the time they'll fall into the eitr and be destroyed.

If a thrall falls on the ledge instead, climb to the corner above the walkway, jump back to land there and then stomp on the thrall as usual. Or, wait for the thrall to reanimate and approach, then shoot it again. After the first two are finished, climb to the left again to trigger the other two thralls. Climb back to the right and shoot them from safety.

Occasionally a thrall will fall at the corner of the ledge, preventing Lara from climbing back to the left, as shown above. If this happens, either wait for it to reanimate and try again. Or, climb as far to the left as possible and then jump back.

Lara should catch the edge of the ledge, as shown above. Then you can pull up and stomp on the thrall to finish it.

Special thanks to Cas for suggesting this great alternate strategy.
