When you're ready for the last phase of this fight, move into the courtyard ahead.

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot In a short cutscene 4 Deathless warriors appear on the wall. The commander shouts orders...

...and the 2 archers lay down a ring of Greek fire preventing you from leaving this area until the fighting is over.

Try to stay clear of the fire but ignore the archers for now. Ready your bow with poison or explosive arrows as the commander and another warrior with a pole arm leap down from the left side of the wall.

Then fire a poison or explosive arrow to destroy them both. If you don't have special arrows, you can also use rifle grenades or the shotgun.

Now deal with the archers. If you're quick, you may be able to shoot one or both of the braziers hanging above. This will dump scalding oil and detonate the Greek fire vessels on the wall.

Or, just target each of them with rifle...

They'll keep shooting fire arrows, until you kill them, so move out of the burning areas as quickly as you can and use bandages if necessary.

When you finish off the fourth enemy...
