Cistern - Room with Tiered Ledges and Gorillas - "Au Revoir!" Achievement/Trophy
As you enter, 2 gorillas (14-15) emerge from alcoves at the back of the room. Advance and draw them out, then back up shooting. Or, enter, turn around, climb up on the ledge above the door, and kill them from safety.
If you go any farther into the room ahead, Pierre reappears behind you. This is a great opportunity to unlock an easy achievement/trophy: Draw magnums. (You won't need much ammo, but this method, and the achievement, depend on using these more powerful guns.) From the ledge above the entrance, take a running jump to the next ledge, which will cause Pierre to appear.
Roll as you land so Lara falls off the ledge...
...and lands facing Pierre and the entrance. Start shooting as soon as Lara gets a lock...
...and continue firing as you backflip away twice, then side flip to the left or right to take cover behind one of the square supports.
This should do enough damage to drive Pierre away and break line of sight, ensuring that he'll disappear. The "Au Revoir!" achievement/trophy ("Make Pierre go away using magnums") should then unlock.
Climb back up to the ledge above the entrance.
Turn around and take a running jump to the second ledge. From there take a running jump to grab the third, where you'll find a large medi pack (11).
Take another running jump to grab the fourth and highest ledge and pull up.
Now we're aiming for the alcove with the magnum clips (12) below. This is a tricky jump, so save first if possible. Walk to the edge. Walk one step backwards.
Then swan dive (Walk + Jump + Forward)...
...onto the ledge.
- OR -
If you struggle with the swan dive, turn around so Lara's back is to the alcove. Walk backwards to the edge. Then walk one step forward.
Backflip and Lara should land in the alcove.
Pick up the ammo (or MAGNUMS if you didn't get the guns earlier). Now face out over the room and move to the left corner of the ledge. Take a carefully angled standing jump to grab the edge of the doorway ahead. Pull up.
- OR -
Instead, use a running jump and grab to get back to the highest ledge. Turn around and this time take a running jump to grab the narrow crevice above the alcove where you got the ammo. Traverse to the right until you can drop down safely.
DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. May I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
