After opening the two big doors and killing the panther at the top of the ramps, as described in the previous section, enter the room beyond.
Inside on the right, you'll find a pair of wooden bridges over spikes. Take a standing jump to the first bridge, then a running jump to the second.
Climb up near the cat statue to the right of the second bridge if you'd like another glimpse outside. Jump around to the various alcoves to pick up 2 boxes of shotgun shells (40-41)...
...and 2 small medi packs (42)...
...and (43).
There's a crocodile-infested pool below the ledges where you found the health packs. Drop into the water below and quickly swim through the underwater opening to the west, avoiding the 2 crocodiles (31-32 or 15)* as much as you can.
Follow the passage forward...
...upward, then left...
...into a low-ceilinged room with squat, square pillars. Grab some shotgun shells (44) ahead on the right. (If you plan to kill the crocodiles, you can skip this pickup for now.)
Then swim to the far left (southeast) corner and pull the lever, which opens the door next to it.
Swim through, climb out of the pool, and immediately kill a panther (33 or 16)* that attacks from the right. There's a carved block to the left of the pool that you can climb on to shoot the panther from safety.
If you're killing crocodiles, rather than avoiding them for the achievement/trophy, you can now shoot them from the edge of the pool. Then go back to the underwater room with the lever to retrieve the shotgun ammo.
*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.)
