DARK MODE?

Return to Egypt - Turquoise Room with Boulder-Trapped Ramps (Continued)

After killing the 3 panthers and retrieving the 2 small medi packs, as shown in the previous section, return to the room with the green blocks below the three ramps. Enter the passageway in the northeast corner (next to the green block where you climbed down).

At the first bend in the passage, you can vault up into the alcove with the cat statue for a vision of the area outside. Then continue up the passageway to the top.

Pick up the small medi pack (36) and use the switch...

...to open the large doors at the top of the boulder ramps.

Return down the passageway to the room below the three ramps. Cross to the northwest corner (near the fenced-in ledge where you got the shells earlier).

Draw the shotgun before entering the hallway since another panther (29 or 14)* lurks just inside. Kill it...

...and continue up the ramp. At the first bend, vault up onto the ledge with the 3 cat face carvings.

Follow this passageway around and down to the end, where you'll find some shotgun shells (37) and magnum clips (38). (This passageway is very dark in the original version. Not so much in the remaster.)

For some reason, the fence that previously separated this area from the room with the green blocks has disappeared. So you can go back the way you just came, or go out into the room and follow the northwest passageway back to the ledge with the 3 cat faces.

Continue all the way up the passageway...

...to the fenced-in area near the entrance where the three boulders landed. Pick up the small medi pack (39).

Now, if you like, you can use a variation on the fence bug to get through the bars. Position Lara facing the fence with her right foot just to the right of one of the seams between floor tiles.

From this position she should be able to vault up through the bars...

...to the floor above. Or take the long way: Return down the ramp to the room with the green blocks, cross to the northeast corner and climb back up the green ledges.

Run up the middle ramp. Assuming you already tripped the boulder traps, as described earlier, this area is now safe, as long as you don't fall into the spikes or the room far below. Shoot the panther (30 or 15)* in the small room at the top of the ramps before dropping down into that area.

*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.

DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
