Temple of the Cat - Pool with Timed Door - First Ornate Key
After tripping the 6 boulders for the "Roll, Action!" achievement/trophy, as shown in the previous section, return to the pyramid and approach the movable block to the right (west) of it.
A panther (7) appears on the first tier of the pyramid and moves toward you. It can't get down to the ground, though. So kill it now from below or from on top of the block.
Pull the carved block toward the pyramid...
...to find some shotgun shells (15) underneath. Follow the path behind the movable block forward and left...
...to a small pool. Jump in and pull the underwater lever (below and to the left of the ledge when facing it). This opens a door at the other end of the pool, releasing a crocodile (8).
Quickly climb out on the ledge to kill it.
Pull the lever again to re-open the door. It is timed to close in about 10 seconds, so swim through quickly.
Retrieve the 1st ORNATE KEY (16) from the bottom. Doing so reopens the door. Swim up to take a breath if necessary and then swim back to the pool.
Climb out on the ledge near the lever and return to the pyramid.
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.)
