This time, climb onto the tall pillar, which is now close to the stepped blocks. Walk to the left edge...

...and pull up onto the thin ledge above.

Turn right and take a standing jump with Action to land on the L-shaped corner ledge.

Pull the switch to close the door below, creating a climbable ladder.

Turn around so the switch is behind Lara, walk to the edge, and jump around to the left to land on the stepped blocks below. (Or jump back to the thin ledge opposite the switch and drop down onto the pillar.)

Now climb all the way up the ladder to the ledge above on the left.

Turn around, step to the outer corner of the ledge, and take a standing jump to grab the jutting block ahead on the left.

Pull up.

Now either take a standing jump with Action or run carefully across the gap at the left corner to get into the doorway ahead. Take care not to run off the far edge. It's a long way down.

Use the same technique to run or jump into the alcove ahead on the left, where you'll find shotgun shells and flares.

Once you have the goodies, climb back into the opening, jump across the gap to the alcove directly opposite, and vault up onto the sloping ledge ahead. Turn right and walk to the edge. Save the game here if you can.

Slide down the ramp, jump at the end, and grab the ledge on the other side of the gap. (Or, slide down backwards, grab the edge, pull up and do a jump-twist—Jump + Roll + Action—to catch the ledge behind. Or, walk to the edge of the slope, take one step back, jump forward and immediately jump again without sliding, then grab.)

Pull up, go forward, and climb up on the right.

NOTE: If you reach this point and the door ahead is closed, then you missed a switch. Turn right and jump down to the ledge below. Pull the gold switch to re-open the door in the middle of the ladder. Then follow the walkthrough from the beginning of the EGYPTIAN EXHIBIT section, here, to open the door and work your way back up to this point.

Ahead is another ramp, this time above a deep shaft. The EMBALMING FLUID you promised to retrieve for Geordie Bob is sitting on the far side.

Slide down the ramp to land on the break-away tiles. Immediately jump forward...

...and grab the ledge between the sarcophagi. Pull up and take the vial.
