It will seem like a déja vù since Lara will be hanging from the ceiling again, luckily it’s not upside down now and you don’t have to set yourself on fire to set yourself free. Wiggle the left thumbstick and follow the prompts on the screen. To your right you should see a small exit, go in there and don’t return to the place where you have been.

Chasm Monastery (1)

Follow the path until you slide down and keep walking afterwards. Soon you will trigger a cutscene where Lara spots a destructible barrier and a corps with the Trench Shotgun, the last main weapon in the game. From this point on, you will need to work yourself towards killing 40 enemies with the shotgun to unlock the following achievement:

Chasm Monastery (2)

Besides this small remark, let’s continue our escape and enter the new area. You should hear enemy voices and Lara will soon say that they are looking for her so prepare yourself as it won’t be a stealth escape. Follow the straight forward path and you will trigger a cutscene. Take a close look, as this is what the game all about is. During that cutscene, enemies will spot Lara. You might notice enemies sliding down from zip lines. This is a good boost towards the 10 you might need to unlock the “Deadeye”-achievement. Kill the ground enemies in any fashion you desire, but be sure to use the shotgun (easiest way to kill those enemies as it is a one hit kill) whenever you see someone going down the line.

The puzzle to exit the room is very simple. You can see a big gate behind the bell. Pull the bell towards you with the Rope Darts and smash it into the gate to open it. Afterwards, continue your path through the tunnel to encounter the only Base Camp in this area. You can opt to sit down and to assign skill points, upgrading your gear or you can carry on with the story. You will hear enemies in the distance, but you shouldn’t worry about them at all.

Sheltered Alcove
Blast through the barrier with the shotgun and continue. You will notice there is a small breeze so pay attention to your screen since a QTE might show up. Follow the straight forward path until you reach another room with a bell on (or in) the ground. Take out the enemies while watching out of the shielded guy and loot their bodies to recover ammo and to receive salvage and continue your path off the destruction up the ramp at the end of the roof leading to the left. Once you are up the platform on the second floor, you should see the bell hanging at the back as well as a rather small metal ball. On both sides of this platform you can find valves to open up the ‘windows’. While facing the wall with the valves, locate the one on your right. Opening this will move the metal ball slightly to the left. Use a Rope Dart to destroy the pillar behind it to lower the bell. Close the valve and do the same with the valve on the left. With both pillars destroyed, open both valves and use a Rope Dart to swing the metal ball into the beam that is holding the bell to destroy it. Depending on what difficulty you play, you will get enemies to spawn. While writing this guide, I was playing on the easiest difficulty and I only had enemies coming for me at the point where I opened both valves and just before I had a chance of swinging the metal ball into the bell. After destroying the third beam, it will make the bell fall straight down, whilst opening an exit for Lara. The breeze will force Lara to fall in the newly opened gap, but there isn’t time to catch your breath seeing as a big soldier (further mentioned as Oni) is chasing 2 Solarii so all you can do is run for your life. Follow the path whilst avoiding debris and other parts that hinder to make your way towards safety. At some point you will need to jump to the bridge where you saw the second pilot being murdered (and before you got imprisoned) but because of Lara’s weight and gravity, the bridge will collapse making you fall deeper into the abyss. After a short cutscene (where I felt bad for Lara), you will slide down armed with the shotgun. Shoot out all the barriers on your path and keep a lookout for other debris while you are making your way into Mountain Village. At the end of this sliding section, Lara will fall in a lake of water (and if you think it’s a soft landing, think again warning).

MOUNTAIN VILLAGE – PART III

Note: Although the third part is mentioned here, collectibles can still be found here.

Chasm Monastery (5)

After coming out of the water, Lara needs a break. While resting on a nearby rock, a cutscene between Samantha and Lara will occur and later Lara will agree to meet up with Roth. Continue out of the cave towards a basecamp to assign skill points or to upgrade your gear with your hard earned salvage.

Mountain Descent
Whilst there are still collectibles to find or challenges to complete while you are up here, at this point in the guide I will focus on the main story line. If you do wish to explore this area, feel free to use the page linked above underneath the header to make your quest a lot easier.

Sit down at the Base Camp in front of you to trigger the fifth part of Lara's Journals (Lara's Journals #5: Ancient Guardians). Afterwards, continue your path until you come across three guards. Take them out and make your way towards a small house by making yourself a zipline by using the Rope Darts. Shotgun your way into the cabin and proceed along the path. Inside this small hut, another conversation between Sam and Lara will be engaged. After the cutscene and when you get control over Lara again, jump over to the ledge and follow the path. After taking a zipline down and falling through the roof of a small hut, there are 3 enemies to take care off. If you wait until they are close to the fire, you can shoot the small canister of gas to blow them all up at once. Either way, once they are taking care of, proceed while taking out other enemies along your route of destruction. At the end of the way, you will find a river. It’s a dangerous cross and at some point, Lara will be dragged along with the stream. Avoid debris and when you are at the end, a slow motion sequence will kick in. Shoot out the debris with the shotgun and Lara will fall inside a plane wreck. At the bottom of that wreck, when she is landed on some glass, she will grab a parachute. When the glass cracks eventually, open the parachute and stay out of the way of the trees. She is in bad shape already and it would be a shame to make it even worse. You are now gliding into a new area: Shantytown…
