Continue downstairs and jump across a gap in the floor into a large, multi-level room with gaps in the floor between the different sections.

As you enter, the gate closes behind you and various enemies begin to materialize.

As in the previous encounters, lure a croc near the edge of one of the ledges, plant a remote bomb on the other side of the enemy, move out of the way...

...and then detonate the bomb to blast the croc into the gap.

When you've killed a total of 5 crocodiles this way, you'll be rewarded with an amulet called SEKHMET'S WRATH (Regenerating Ammo, Bomb Reload+, Bomb Damage+, Fire Bomb, Explosive Projectiles).

Meanwhile, things get more hectic, with several Marks of Set appearing and spawning swarms of scarabs. Keep moving as you shoot/bomb the bugs...

...and try to stay out of their fire and poison trails. Even if you have resistance items equipped, you'll still take some damage. Keep moving as you shoot/bomb the bugs, and try to stay out of their fire and poison trails. Even if you have resistance items equipped, you'll still take some damage.

After a bit of this, a giant crocodile joins the fight. You can lead it around the room...

You could also use rockets, bullets, etc., and finish it off with explosives if necessary.

In the 3- and 4- player co-op games this area is basically the same except there are more minor enemies and twin giant crocodiles.

Once you beat the big guy (or guys) the gates open so you can move on.

Unless you're in a hurry, before you go, be sure to retrieve the red skull (2/5) hovering in the gap on the upper right ledge. Just hang off the edge to grab it. Also, replenish your health and ammo, smash all the urns and light all the braziers. Then exit at the upper left corner and proceed to the next area.
