The Lost City - Battling Trinity on the Long, Curved Walkway (Part 2)

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot
When you climb the steps to the next level, Sofia urges Lara to take cover. Contrary as ever, Lara tells her friend that she can't stop now.

As you advance toward the pile of ice blocking the path, a fireball blasts through it, temporarily knocking Lara aside. Recover and keep going.

As you enter the next area, another fireball lands in the midst of a skirmish between Trinity and the Deathless. When the smoke clears, the Deathless are gone, but the way back is blocked, and there are still more Trinity soldiers ahead.

If necessary, advance and take cover behind the fallen statue with the metal shield...

Move forward, searching the soldiers' bodies and the packs left behind by the Deathless. There's also a clump of poison mushrooms behind one of the metal barriers on the right. The next group of enemies doesn't spawn until you approach the shiny ice boulder in the middle of the walkway.

I think there are 8 guys in this group—7 assorted soldiers and grenadiers and a heavy with a shield—but things get a little hectic here, so please excuse me if I'm off by one or two. You can probably take out the first few with your rifle, either directly or by shooting the brazier above or the Greek fire urn on the right.

Grenades are also lovely.

When things get hairy—and they probably will—don't hesitate to fall back to the metal barrier on the right or the smaller chunk of ice on the left. Use a bandage (LB/V) and regroup.

When the heavy with the shield appears, break out the explosive or poison arrows to quickly dispatch him and anyone standing nearby.

Pow!

After you've taken care of this group, a few stragglers appear at the end of the walkway, but Sofia soon takes care of them from below. See, it always helps to make friends with the locals!
