If you now turn around and face the temple, you can see where you need to go next. The THIRD SERPENT STONE is on the high ledge near the burning torch. There are some climbable rocks off to the left that will enable you to get up there.

Drop back down to the ground, turn around, and head for those climbable rocks. Pull up onto the lowest block.

Turn and shoot the tribesman inside the doorway above. Then jump up onto the ledge where he fell.

IMPORTANT: Inside this doorway are three gates which can be opened with the SERPENT STONES. Do not place any of the stones into the snake receptacles until you have all three. Several players have reported a bug where they placed one stone then went to get the others. When they came back they were unable to open the gates.

Turn around and take a running jump to grab the ledge above the block where you just stood.

Turn right and take a running jump to the uneven, gray stone ledge near the temple. Jump over to the ledge with the burning torch and the THIRD SERPENT STONE.

You should now have all 3 SERPENT STONES. Slide down the side of the building, climb back onto the low block, jump into the doorway where that last tribesman fell.
