After the cutscene at the gate, Lara is facing out over the city toward the trebuchet in the distance.

Ride the zip line down to the first building on the right.

Ready your shotgun or other weapon as you land. Then take out the Deathless swordsman who appears in the doorway ahead using the weapon itself or the Dodge Kill maneuver if you've unlocked that skill.

Just to recap the Dodge Kill in case you unlocked it after we last covered it here, wait for the swordsman to lunge at you. Then press B on the controller or C on the keyboard to dodge his attack.

If your timing is right, a large circle with a Melee icon appears on screen. Wait for the thin gray circle to contract all the way into the center. Then press Y on the controller or F on the keyboard...

Now step out onto the ledge on the right and look out over the rooftops to the south. A Deathless archer appears in the building ahead. Shoot him with your rifle or a poison/fire arrow.

If he shoots back before you can kill him, move out of the way to avoid taking damage from his fire arrows.

Then jump over the rooftops to where he was standing. (If you get disoriented, check the map. This is where you found relic #7 earlier.)

From inside this little shelter you can take out the 3 Deathless archers standing on the trebuchet platform, either by targeting the Greek fire vessels or using a fire/poison arrow or two.
