Level 8

Temple of Karnak (second time)

Your second visit to the Temple of Karnak.

Temple of Karnak:

You enter the level swimming. Swim to the end and climb out to find yourself back in the Temple of Karnak! You now have the second Canopic Jar, so go over by the suspended bowl and place the Canopic Jar 2 in one of the receptacles on either side of the bowl. The strange looking pipes now send water into the bowl and the bowl tips to dump the water into the pool.

Walk across the pool? Yes you can! Just wade across the pool to the statue (some reality is missing here!) Climb up and find Uzi clips by the statue. Then go through the open door behind the statue. Follow the tunnel and climb out.

Crocodile Lake:

Find yourself in front of a lake that is populated with crocodiles and with two obelisks crackling with electricity. From the high ledge, lower yourself to a lower block on the one side of the temple and pick off any crocs that are in gun range. You can drop off the block and then climb back up to lure the crocs into range. After you have killed 2 or 3 crocodiles, you can start exploring. Swim to the bottom of the lake and pick up red shotgun shells. On the edge of the lake is another set of red shotgun shells. Note the goodies in the cage between the crackling obelisks.

Now swim to the bottom of the lake and find the underwater tunnel near the obelisks. Push the button in the room at the end of the underwater tunnel to raise the cage by the obelisks. Pick up the Hypostyle Key and the Sun Goddess from the pedestal between the two obelisks. 

What to do now?

Remember way back when you went through a crawlspace in Hypostyle Hall and came to a small contraption that you could not open? Well, you need to go back there. Return to the suspended bowl where you placed the Canopic Jar.

Look for a crawlspace high on the wall. Crawl through the crawlspace and continue until you are back in the Temple Ruins (the building where you first lowered the suspended bowl).

(Note: you need to jump over a slanted block to reach a crawlspace on the way.)

Temple Ruins:

Hmm, you are welcomed back with gun fire as Van Croy's men try to do their job on poor Lara. Kill two snipers. You can visit the room above the suspended bowl, but there is nothing there but trouble. So make your way back to the central courtyard with the obelisk (tall pillar) and to the building with the pillars that has the deep pool. On your way take out another sniper. In the building with the pillar and the deep pool, go through the small door and slide down the ramp.

Continue on with the Great Hypostyle Hall (second time)
