When the Pharaoh vanishes, the SECOND PHASE of the battle starts. Various minions begin to drop from the ceiling and emerge from the alcoves. These include mummies, exploding mummies, etc., mostly ice types but possibly a few others too.

If you're playing a co-op game you can position players on either side of the gears and take on the enemies as they appear. If you're playing solo, just do your best to stay off the active ice vents while avoiding the enemies. You you can stand your ground for a few moments, you may be able to lure several enemies to your position. Then plant a remote bomb, quickly roll out of the way...

...and detonate the bomb to damage several foes at once.

Don't try to jump across the spike pit. Enemies can do this, but it's too far for humans (and gods in human form). Instead use the Staff of Osiris to rotate the huge gears so you can jump past them. This can actually work to your advantage. If you jump past one of the gears to the other side of the room, then lower the staff so the gears rotate back, the enemies will have to jump across the pit to pursue you.

Then you can shoot them as they approach.

Other than that, just continue using the same basic moves. Let the enemies chase you around the room, planting bombs behind you...

...and detonating them to damage or destroy the enemies, shooting them when you have the opportunity, and avoiding the ice vents as much as possible.

When you've killed most of the minor enemies, the ice vents along the sides of the room will activate, trapping you in the middle as the PHARAOH reappears. This is PHASE THREE.

Use the same tactics you did earlier: Move away from him, while also staying off the vents as much as possible. Shoot him as he approaches.

Then quickly run/roll away before he can slap, clap, or stomp you.

When you've put a little distance between you, turn and continue shooting.

Repeat until you've taken another third of his health and he will disappear once more.
