Barrel Roll

After your little encounter with Salazar in the next room, you'll have to climb the tower, but you won't have an unobstructed path, of course. (There's a Yellow Herb behind the crates on the first floor here, so be sure to grab it.) As you climb the steps, the cultists will start flinging barrels down the steps, which will deal heavy damage if they manage to impact you. You can shoot them as they arrive, but you can't dodge them, so run up the steps until you reach the wooden planks suspended across the middle of the room. Walk across these to reach the ladder leading up to the switch that controls the barrels; doing so will spawn in a bunch of enemies back down by the entrance, but you can kill a few of them by sending barrels down yourself, but the rest you'll probably have to take down manually by running to the bottom of the steps. There's another of the bugged cultist leaders down here that doesn't seem to want to attack, so kill him off and grab the substantial cash he drops before moving back up.

This dynamitist is rather tough to hit without a rifle.

When you return to the lift area, you'll need to kill the cultist that's chucking dynamite at you before you can push the boxes off the lift and start moving back up. This will instigate a kind of gauntlet, where you'll have to take on both red-robed cultists that drop into the middle of the cage as well as a couple of crossbowmen outside. These latter should be your first concern, so beat them down with your TMP or pistol after knocking the reds down with a shotgun blast, then get yourself into a corner of the cage and start killing off the waves of red-robes. If possible, try to shoot them into the far corner, as shooting them off the cage entirely will obviously make it difficult to grab the ammo and cash that they drop.

Now, after you manage to leave the cage, start smashing every barrel that you see; they'll drop a significant amount of ammo for you. After taking the next lift up, grab all of the ammo by the merchant, then upgrade your weaponry. If you have a good amount of ammo for it (and hopefully you do), try upgrading the power on the Broken Butterfly, as it'll come in handy during the next fight. If you don't have one of those, you might want to invest in a rocket launcher.
