Out of Time - Climbing the Central Structure
and Destroying the Third Power Node

After destroying the second power node, go around to the front of the buttress support. Wait for one of the moving platforms to move into range and jump on top of it.

As the platform moves around the circle, continue facing the central structure and step to the front edge of the platform. Wait for one of the platforms in the next ring to approach and jump forward to grab the edge.

Pull up to stand on top of it. At this point you should be circling on the uppermost ring of moving platforms. Step forward to the edge of the platform. When it moves past one of the handholds on the cylindrical CENTRAL STRUCTURE, jump forward to grab it.

Now watch the ring above, and when one of the horizontal handholds is approaching but is not yet directly above, jump straight up. The ledge should move within grabbing range by the time Lara reaches it.

Ride this ring around until it passes beneath a group of closely spaced horizontal handholds. Climb up onto them and continue climbing until Lara is holding onto the top one in the group of four.

Jump straight up to grab the lowest handhold in the next group. Climb around to the left side of the panel.

Then jump straight up three times to reach the highest handhold on the side of the panel.

Then climb back to the right and up to the top of the next four closely spaced handholds.

Another short situational adrenaline sequence happens here. Time slows as Natla hurls multiple fireballs. To avoid them, drop down so Lara is hanging from the lowest handhold in this group. The fireballs should then impact just above her. Once the sequence is over, climb back up and jump to grab one of the moving handholds above.

Hang on and ride the moving ring around to the right.

When the handhold passes over the sloping buttress, let go to land on it.

Slide all the way down to the buttress support below. Turn to face the power node and press Interact to smash it.
