The Ancient World - Treasure #28

After obtaining Treasure #27, leave the carved panel as it is, turn left and jump across the gap in the walkway surrounding the hub.

Grapple the metal ring mounted on the wall that supports the walkway leading from the entrance to the pedestal. Step off the edge and use the grapple cable to wall run across to the curved ledge at the outer edge of the room, as described in the next steps.

While Lara is dangling from the cable with her feet braced against the wall, move the camera behind her so it's facing the wall squarely and Lara is right in the middle of the screen. Adjust the length of the cable (Interact + Up/Down) so Lara's feet are level with or a little higher than the ledge where you want to go (indicated by the broken line in the screenshot above).

NOTE: If you let the camera drift to the side a bit while Lara is moving, that's OK. But starting out this way will help you to make Lara jump in the right direction. As you become familiar with the technique, you'll be able to do this instinctively without much fiddling with the camera.

Once you have her positioned correctly, alternate pressing the Left and Right keys (or, if you're using a controller, press Left and Right on the left analog stick) to make Lara run back and forth along the wall. Each time she runs left or right, she'll go a little higher, until finally she's tracing out a long arc. When the left end of the arc is higher than the ledge, wait for her to run that way and then, while still holding Left, press Jump and she'll release the cable and jump onto the ledge.

Stand facing the movable wall at the left end where it nearly touches the outer wall of the room. Press Interact to grab the wall and walk backward to drag the wall along, rotating the entire walkway and central structure counterclockwise.

Pull the wall nearly to the end of the ledge, but not quite. Leave enough space on the left so Lara can fit through. Let go of the wall and go around behind it.

On the other side, grab on again and push the wall forward (still counterclockwise) as far as it will go.

Release it and turn to face across the gap toward the hub. Grapple the metal ring on this side of the movable wall and swing back to the ledge near the hub.

Turn left and go around the hub to the gap in the ledge. Jump across near the hub where the gap is not as wide.

Climb the carved panel to reach the circular platform with the small tree.

Shoot the flock of bats that swoops down from the ceiling. Then follow the walkway toward the edge of the room. If you've aligned it correctly, you should be able to step onto the curved walkway to the right, where you can pick up the third and final treasure (28/30) in this room.
