After you obtain your first two amulets, drop down into the low area on the right.

Watch out for the rotating spiked pillar as you move around lighting the braziers, smashing the urns, blowing up the coffins, and destroying any skeletons that emerge. Gather whatever gems you can find.

Then climb up on the ledge to the right and destroy the sleeping skeleton before it animates.

Step a little farther to the right to trigger a brief cut scene in which 2 skeleton archers appear on top of the spiked columns. More skeletons then rise up around you as you fight.

Do your best to dodge the archers' fireballs as you take them down with your weapon of choice. The SMG works fine, as does the Staff of Osiris.

When you've dealt with them, more skeleton archers appear, followed by a swarm of scarabs. If you can avoid taking damage, your amulet powers will help you defeat them more quickly.

After the fight, be sure to light all the braziers, destroy any remaining vases and sarcophagi, and pick up stray gems and other goodies. Then grapple the golden ring on the ledge above and climb up.

In the co-op game, the golden ring is mounted on the wall above some spikes. Have Lara or Carter grapple it so the others can climb up safely.

Then move to the left side of the ledge, so the character down below can grapple one of the ones above and climb up.
