Return to Egypt - Cavern with Pool and Wooden Bridges (Continued)

Finally, retrieve the magnum clips (29) on the bottom of the pool in the southeast corner. Another 2 crocodiles (21-22 or 10)* spawn when you approach the ammo, so quickly climb out of the water on the ledge just above where the clips were. (This is the same ledge where you killed the second panther earlier.) Start up the ramp. Enter the room on the left...

...to get a small medi pack (30).

Then exit, turn left, and continue to the top of the ramp. Follow the wooden bridges...

...around to the top.

When you reach the alcove at the end of the last bridge, turn around so you're facing down the bridge. Jump straight up to grab the ledge overhead and pull up.

Turn around so the light-colored wall is on Lara's left. Ignore the room on the right for now. (There's a cranky crocodile inside; we'll deal with him shortly.) Instead, jump across the gap to the opposite ledge. Climb the two block steps on the left.

Ignore the tan slope below on the right for now. Instead, continue climbing up and around to the left...

...to find a large medi pack (31). Once you have it, climb back down the way you came to the step above the tan slope.

There are no items in the pit at the bottom of the slope. So if you're going for the Crocodile Rock" achievement/trophy, you'll definitely want to avoid it. Instead, climb down two more block steps and skip ahead to the next section of the walkthrough.

If you do want all kills, you'll need to slide down into a small, dark room containing 2 crocodiles (23-24 or 10)*. This is the same room from which the crocs emerged into the CROCODILE CAVE where you found the MAGNUMS. If you didn't already explore that area, there will instead be 6 crocs in the pit. The best way I've found to deal with them is to slide down the chute facing uphill and grab the edge at the end, as shown above.

Then, as you drop, draw the shotgun.

It works well in close quarters; you'll only need one clean shot for each beast.

When you're finished, safety drop through the opening opposite the two small ones. This deposits you in the passage between the movable blocks and the cavern with the pool. Return to the top of the wooden bridges.

This time, climb into the opening above on the right, rather than onto the ledge directly above the bridge. Just be ready to fight or avoid the next crocodile (25 or 10).*

*NOTE: The running kill counts track the total with or without crocodiles. You'll need to avoid harming any crocs for the "Crocodile Rock" achievement/trophy.
