Tomb of the Embalmer - Walkway with Narrow Gap and Flame Vents
(Co-op Versions)

Follow this link for the single-player version.

In the 2-player game, there is no time bomb. Instead there's a golden ring on the left side of the gap and a pressure pad on the right. Have Lara grapple the ring and move around to the narrow end of the gap. Now Isis or Horus can jump onto the cable.

As Lara walks around to the right, keeping the grapple extended, the Egyptian should carefully move along the cable to maintain a position between the 2 rows of flame vents.

When Lara moves onto the pressure pad...

...some of the flames on the ledge above go out, so the Egyptian can jump up there and step on the second pressure pad to permanently deactivate the flame vents. Then you can both fight the enemies that appear or try and blast them off the ledges for the challenge. (The single-player strategy includes tips.)

NOTE: Again, I apologize for not having details about the 3-player version, but I assume it's similar to the 4-player. I encourage you to contact me with details if you've played it.

In 4-player co-op, there are no wooden ledges, no golden ring, and no time bomb. Start by having one archaeologist grapple another character across the pit. A third character (here it's Isis) can then jump onto the cable.

As the two holding the cable move carefully toward the upper left, the one standing on the tightrope should try to maintain a position between the 2 rows of flame vents. Once the character at the right end of the cable steps on the pressure pad, some of the flames on the ledge above go out, so the one standing on the cable can jump up there.

Repeat the process...

...to get the fourth character onto the upper ledge. (You can also have two characters ride on the tightrope at the same time if you prefer.)

Then step on the 2 pressure pads there to permanently deactivate the flame vents.

NOTE: In our 4-player game, no enemies spawned here. I suspect that was a glitch, but I'm not sure.
