Shadow of the Tomb Raider TEMPLE OF LIFE GATE PUZZLE : PART 7
60Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a 2018 action-adventure video game developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix. It continues the narrative from the 2015 game Rise of the Tomb Raider and is the twelfth mainline entry in the Tomb Raider series.
Find a Way to Open the Gate
TEMPLE OF LIFE GATE PUZZLE: It's probably obvious, but you should avoid the flaming pools on either side of the platform and the pit full of coral snakes ahead. (screenshot) The puzzle itself consists of 2 pillars made of polished stones, stacked one on top of the other. Each stone in the pillar is inscribed with five Maya numbers. The wheels below each pillar allow you to rotate the column to the left or right. In the alcoves near each pillar is a circular panel with various inscriptions.
Find Another Way Out of the Temple
During the movie, one of the photos Lara shot is added to your Artifacts collection. It is Path to the Hidden City, under the Path of the Stars Story. (This does not count toward the document or relic totals for Kuwak Yaku.)
Before leaving this area, examine the mural (6/10), God of Suicides (Mam/Pantheon of Gods 3) to the right of the dais. (screenshot) There's also a document (11/18), Balams (Mam/Legends of the Maya), on the left, below the exit. (screenshot) Finally, there's a Proficient Mam monolith (2/3) in the norther corner of the room, next to the exit. If you have enough skill in the Mam dialect, Lara will read the clue: "Two guardians have fangs. Two guardians have feet. One guardian has both to better protect me." If you open the map and select the monolith, you'll see that the area in which the secret is buried encompasses this room. The three large statues here depict an eagle (feet), a snake (fangs), and a jaguar (both). Sure enough, the monolith riches, survival cache (9/14), is buried in the corner behind the jaguar statue.
Escape the Flooded Ruins
FLOODED AREA WITH PIRANHAS: As you enter the water, an on-screen tutorial introduces underwater predators like piranhas. If you've been with us since Tomb Raider III, this will bring up fond memories. Or not. In this walkthrough, piranhas are marked as hazards rather than enemies, since there's no way to kill them. You can only avoid them. The tutorial text explains that you can hide in patches of sea grass to avoid being detected. This FLOODED RUINS AREA MAP shows the path outlined below. It may be enough to get you through, but if you need more, there are screenshots linked below.
Return to Kuwaq Yaku
POOL AMID THE RUINS: Loot the resource container on one of the ledges surrounding the pool. Then swim along the surface to the south. As you go, you get an XP award for completing this section. Where the water gets shallower, just before you scramble up the rock wall, there's a box of supplies on the left.
PATH THROUGH THE JUNGLE: Climb up and continue along the dirt path through the dense foliage. Lara hears enemies talking ahead and goes into a defensive crouch. Before going to investigate, follow the path to the left to find a document Misdirection (Search for the Hidden City).
Make Your Way through the Hangar
ENCLOSURE WITH CRASHED AIRPLANE: There are 8 Trinity mercenaries in the area ahead: Fortunately they're too busy freaking out about whatever is attacking their comrades to notice Lara right away. Move forward into the ferns to scope out the situation and plan your strategy.
Reach the Temple
RIVER NORTHWEST OF THE RUINS: It's possible to re-enter the temple, descend the stairs and find a mural, but we'll pass this way again later, so it's not necessary. (This is mural #10, below.) For now, dive into the pool and swim around to collect some useful items, including aquatic plants, salvage, some gold ore from a vein in the rocks, and a survival cache buried on the bottom of the pool. For now, follow the river westward toward the bridge and pipeline.
