TAKAMOTO'S PRIVATE OFFICE: The chime indicating CHECKPOINT 17 sounds just before Lara confronts Takamoto.

In a cut scene ("Takamoto Found"), Lara confronts the crime lord, who still denies having the artifact.

When the cut scene finishes, 3 thugs with shotguns try and put an end to Lara. Kill them quickly to avoid losing too much health. Pick up any health and grenades they drop. You'll also find a SHOTGUN and ammo.

To get out of this room, climb onto the end of the table near the dragon statue's tail. Use the magnetic grapple to pull the dragon toward Lara. (screenshots) Release the cable and let the dragon crash through the window. This draws the attention of 2 more Yakuza goons. Stand below and to one side of the opening to shoot one of them while staying out of the other one's sights. Then move to the other side to deal with the second man. Climb into the opening. This is CHECKPOINT 18. Take any useful items and follow the hall to Takamoto's office. There you'll find a table loaded with rifle ammo (and an ASSAULT RIFLE if you want to swap weapons again).

GOLD REWARD: The red lacquered chest contains the gold reward (1/1). Move the chest around the corner and down the hall. Shove it off the ledge near the dragon statue. When it falls, it smashes to pieces, revealing the golden Buddha.

NOTES: I doubt you'll have any trouble with this gold reward, but since I've done it for all the others, here are screenshots and a video.

It's up to you whether to take a SHOTGUN or RIFLE for the upcoming fight with Takamoto. The shotgun could be the right choice if you prefer in-your-face close combat, but it's slow to reload, leaving Lara vulnerable at times. If you'd rather engage from a distance, take the rifle. Be sure to bring as much ammo as you can carry. You'll probably run out anyway, but every bit helps.

Go to the elevator near the opening overlooking the dragon statue. Use the button to activate it. Then step inside.

Another cut scene ("Artifact Revealed") shows Lara riding up to Takamoto's inner sanctum. Sure enough, he does have a piece of the sword and, after a little persuasion, he makes it clear just why he values it.

FIGHTING TAKAMOTO: After the movie, Lara is standing at CHECKPOINT 19. Immediately run behind one of the large statues to avoid being shot by the gun turrets mounted beneath the elevated walkway that encircles the room. Climb the pole behind the statue and jump onto the walkway. The automated guns can't hit Lara here, but Takamoto has already leaped to the upper level and is waiting for her. Now you can choose whether to get up in his face or hang back and patiently wear him down—or use a combination of these techniques.

If you've got good reflexes, go for the direct approach (shown in these screenshots and this video walkthrough). Run around the edge of the room toward Takamoto, shooting at him as soon as he's within range (red reticle). Try to keep moving as much as possible without leaping off the edge, and keep Lara's gun(s) drawn. She can jump much higher, as well as perform evasive rolls, when she's holding a weapon. (You may need to holster them momentarily to fix the camera angle if it becomes skewed.)

NOTE: If necessary, review the Combat Controls and information on Combat Modes & Targeting.

Takamoto fires fan-shaped energy blasts, which usually come in groups of three: two low and one high. Jump to clear the low bursts and roll under the high ones. Or hide behind the statues for protection. Try to position Lara close to the edge of the walkway with the statue directly between her and Takamoto; otherwise the edges of the blast may hit her.

When Lara gets close, he'll begin firing vertical beams and slashing with his weapon, both of which cause quite a bit of damage. Keep away from the blade itself, dodge sideways to avoid the vertical beams, and continue firing, since Lara does the most damage at close range.

Soon he'll run off to the other side of the ledge. Keep repeating these same tactics. You'll see his health bar—the orange one at the top right—diminish each time you hurt him. It doesn't take too long to kill him at close range, provided you can manage to keep Lara alive.

If you run out of ammo for your more powerful weapon, go ahead and shoot with pistols even if the targeting reticle is gray. You'll still hit some of the time. Then try and get closer so you can do more damage. Or, switch to one of the alternate strategies at that time.
