Mountain Base - Spotlight Room Ambush - Part 1

TOMB RAIDER screenshot
Pick up the bullets, select the SMG, and go through the doorway on the left (west) into a dark room swarming with Solarii cultists.

They immediately turn on several spotlights, temporarily blinding and disorienting Lara. Then they start shooting bullets and flaming arrows.

As soon as you regain control, press Aim to draw your SMG and take out the 2 guys with machetes and axes charging up the steps toward you—one on the left...

...and one on the right. In order to conserve ammo, try to tap lightly on the trigger in short bursts and aim for their heads if possible.

Pick up the rifle/SMG ammo sitting on the floor to the right, next to the blue barrels. Then run up the ramp and jump to grab the edge of the elevated walkway.

Pull up and run forward, taking out the archer who drops down directly in front of you at the end of the walkway. Your old gun is hard to aim, but do the best you can. Follow the walkway around to the left.

As you run toward the camp fire, another archer drops down through a hole in the ceiling.

Shoot him while running toward him and finish him off with a melee attack if necessary.

Lara can't use the axe as a weapon yet, but if the guy is nearly dead as you approach him, you'll see the Melee icon, prompting you to press the Melee button for a finisher. Lara will then pick up a conveniently appearing rock and smash the guy's head in. Guess she learned that on the late shift at the Nine Bells.
