After Lara replaces the Hand of Rathmore, the platform will descend into the depths of the earth and when Lara finds herself in the cavern below the zoo, immediately take a side flip to the left to avoid an enormous boulder that will roll toward her and drop into the pit below.

Draw a weapon, preferably the Desert Eagles, and turn left. Walk forward to the grate on the left and watch a reanimated corpse (1) patrolling the area beyond the grate. Soon it will realize your presence, and a second reanimated corpse (2) will accompany it and charge down the passage between the two gates.

Take a side flip to the right, a hop backwards, and wait for the two corpses to charge down the passage. Kill them before they reach the bottom of the passage. Turn right and walk forward until Lara reaches a long hallway with a boulder at the far end.

Side step to the right until Lara is lined up with the translucent platform. Angle Lara slightly to the left so that she is facing the pillar on the left side of the hallway. Step forward onto the translucent platform and the boulder at the far end of the platform will begin to roll. Immediately take a side flip to the left to avoid the boulder.

When the boulder is safely in the square pit, take a side flip to the right, back onto the translucent platform and walk forward. Pick up a pair of grenades (1) between the first set of columns. Continue forward and pick up a second pair of grenades (2) between the second pair of pillars. Walk forward and pick up a third pair of grenades (3) just before the end of the translucent platform.

Turn around and walk back to the other end of the hallway. Run around the square pit to the hallway on the other side of the chamber. Step forward and onto another transparent platform. Run forward and pick up a rocket (4) between the first pair of pillars, and continue forward to pick up a pair of grenades (5) between the second pair of pillars.

Turn around and run back to the other end of the hallway to the square pit. Angle Lara to the right and run to the opening that leads up to a higher ledge. Climb up onto the left side of the ledge and walk forward. Step up onto the ledge and around the pillar by turning right.

Pick up the box of flares (6) and turn around. Walk forward and turn left. Run forward and drop back down to the ledge that surrounds the square pit. Run around the square pit and vault up into the passage between the two grates.

Run forward and pick up another box of flares (7). Angle Lara to the right and run around to the alcove at the far end of this entry hall. Climb up onto the ledge and pick up a pair of MP5 clips (8)

Step forward onto the next step and turn left. Run forward and drop down into the hallway below. Turn left, and step up onto the step. Carefully angle Lara to the right and walk along the right side of the passageway to avoid the deadly goo. Pick up the small Medi Pack (9), turn around and walk back out of this hallway.

Step down out of the hallway and turn right. Climb back up to the stairway and run across the stairs. Drop down into the hallway on the other side of the stairs and turn right. Step forward into the next hallway and angle Lara to the right.

Walk diagonally down the hallway, being careful to avoid the deadly goo, and pick up another small Medi Pack (10). Turn around walk diagonally back to the entrance to this hallway.

Turn left, climb back up onto the central stairway, and step forward. Turn right and run up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, Lara will find a large pit full of deadly goo with seven corpses floating above the goo and torsos embedded in the wall on the left and ahead.

Turn right, run forward, and turn right again to find a rocket (11). Take the rocket, turn around and walk forward to the edge of the pit. Light a flare and angle Lara to the left.

Lara should be able to make out a translucent platform floating above the pit ahead and to the left of the corpse. Take a standing jump to the first platform and angle to the left. Take a standing jump past the corpse ahead to another platform in the middle of the chamber.

Walk forward and turn right. Locate another translucent platform beyond the floating corpse. Take a diagonal standing jump to that platform. Angle Lara to the left and walk forward. Take a standing jump to the last translucent platform, which is in front of the second torso embedded in the wall.

Angle Lara to the left and aim Lara for the very right edge of the opening ahead. Take a standing jump into the opening, and Lara will land on a slope on the other side of the opening and slide to the floor beyond, just out of reach of the swinging flaming basin.

Turn right, step forward and pick up another box of flares (12). Turn around, and walk along the left side of the ledge to avoid the swinging basin. When Lara reaches the other end of the ledge, turn right and walk forward to the edge of the ledge.

Take a standing jump to the ledge ahead, and Lara will be able to see Sophia Leigh climbing up the ledges on the other side of this pit. It appears that Lara should have checked to make sure she was really dead in their last encounter. Take a standing jump forward onto the ledge ahead, run forward and turn right.

Run up the step and up the ramp, and take a hairpin turn to the right. Quickly vault up onto the ledge and grab the small Medi Pack (13). Angle Lara to the right, take a running step forward, hop backwards, and take a running jump to the ledge below the where Sophia is currently climbing.

Take a running step forward, grab the large Medi Pack (14), reverse roll, and take a running jump back to the rock structure on the opposite side of the cavern. Angle Lara to the left, run up the slope, and turn right.

Vault up onto the vent, angle Lara to the left and take a standing jump to the vent with the corpse floating above it. Run forward and crouch down to use this spot as cover from Sophia's blasts.

When Sophia recharges her staff, quickly stand, take a hop backwards, and take a standing jump up to the higher ledge. Turn left, and run around the pillar to the left and wait for her to recharge again. When she does, run back around the pillar, grab the small Medi Pack (15), and run back around the pillar for cover.

Draw the Desert Eagle and turn and face Sophia while standing behind the pillar. Wait for her to recharge, take a side flip to the right, and take a side flip back to the left. This should lure out a reanimated corpse (3) that should have emerged when Lara grabbed the large Medi Pack. Side step to the left, run forward and eliminate the corpse. Hop backward to the safety of the pillar.

Crouch down, turn right and crawl forward, staying below the cover of the low ledge. Turn left to face Sophia and crawl backwards, away from the low ledge. Wait for Sophia to being to recharge, stand, and take a standing jump up onto the ledge.

Jump up and grab the ledge above. Pull up and a boulder will drop from the ceiling, turn left, and vault up onto the higher step. Turn left, run forward to the end of the ledge and turn left.

Draw the Desert Eagle pistol, run forward and kill a reanimated corpse (4) that will emerge in the small chamber ahead. Run into the side chamber, grab the large Medi Pack (16), and use this spot as cover from Sophia's blasts.

Turn around and face the opposite side of the cavern. Sprint across the cavern, back along the ledge paved with rocks, and drop into a small pit on the other side of the cavern. This pit has a pool of water at the bottom, and a ledge on the left side. Immediately, reverse roll, draw the Desert Eagles and eliminate another reanimated corpse (5).

Turn left and wait for Sophia to recharge her staff, take a standing jump up into the opening, another standing jump to the platform ahead, and run forward. Reverse roll as Lara nears the lever and run back to the safety of the pit with a pool. Another large boulder will drop from the ceiling and roll down the steps

Wait for Sophia to recharge and fire her first bolt and take a standing jump back up to the ledge, and another standing jump up to the platform ahead. Run forward, turn right and drop down the tall step and forward down to the lower ledge.

Grab the large Medi Pack (17), turn left and vault or jump up to the higher ledge, then draw the Desert Eagle pistol. Angle left and drop into the pit ahead in the dark. Kill a reanimated corpse (6), turn around, and walk against the wall Lara just dropped off.

Wait for Sophia to fire her first large bolt then vault back up to the ledge. Run off the ledge, turn right, vault up the tall step. Then run up the steps, and run forward to pull the lever to open the two doorways. Quickly, hop back, angle Lara to the right and enter the doorway on the right.

Draw the Desert Eagle pistol and shoot down three reanimated corpses (7, 8, 9) ahead, and one more reanimated corpse (10) on the left. Use the pillar between the two doors as cover from Sophia's blasts.

Turn and face away from Sophia and look at the area in front of the window ahead. Wait for an opportunity to run to that area to pick up a box of flares (18) on the left, a small Medi Pack (19) right in front of the bars, and another small Medi Pack (20) on the right. Lara can return to the cover of the pillar between the doors between picking up each item.

Angle Lara to the left and aim for an opportunity to run to the opening near the torso that is embedded in the wall. Turn left and run forward to the next torso embedded in the wall ahead.

Turn left, wait for the flaming basin to swing away and run forward. Angle Lara to the left of the stairs and run to the wall. Throw the lever to open a trapdoor above, turn right and vault up onto the ledge.

Turn left run forward and climb up the ladder. Run forward, turn left and climb up onto the ledge ahead. Run forward, across the area ahead, take a running jump to the platform on the other side of the courtyard. Run forward into the alcove and pick up another rocket (21).

Reverse roll, run back to the edge of the platform and turn left. Wait for Sophia to pause between blasts to take a standing jump up to the ledge ahead, then immediately hop backwards and drop back to the safety of the platform below. A boulder will slowly drop from the sky.

Wait for Sophia to climb up to the pedestal with the artifact. Now ready the rocket launcher. When Sophia Leigh1 (11) begins to recharge, immediately fire one rocket to kill her. If Sophia stands around admiring the artifact, then it may be necessary to take another jump up to the ledge to encourage her to fire at Lara.

When a death blow has been landed, energy will swarm around Lara, Sophia will groan, fall to her knees and then explode. Now turn right and run forward across the grate onto the platform. Turn left and climb up onto the ledge ahead2. Turn left and pull up to the higher ledge.

Pick up the large Medi Pack (22) and turn around. Run forward and drop to the ledge below. Run forward and angle Lara to the left. Take a jump down to the ledge below. Turn right and take a standing jump to a small alcove beyond.

Pick up two rockets (23, 24) and turn around. Take a jump back to the paved ledge. Run down the ledge, and when Lara nears the end, angle her to the right and take a running jump into the opening in the wall on the right.

Pick up a small Medi Pack (25), run forward and pick up another rocket (26). Take a hop backwards, turn left and run forward. Angle Lara to the right to run around the structure ahead. Run to the other side of this area and drop down to the grate.

Vault up into the tunnel ahead. Pick up a rocket (27) and turn left. Run forward and pick up a small Medi Pack (28). Angle Lara to the left and take a jump out to the rock ledge outside. Run along the ledge and angle Lara to the right and take a jump to the alcove ahead.

The Hand of Rathmore
Pull up, run forward and climb up to the ledge ahead to reclaim the Hand of Rathmore (31) once more. Taking the artifact will open a door behind this structure. Turn around and drop back to the ledge below.

Turn right, drop to the ground, and run to the newly opened door. Jump into the opening, or vault up into the opening. Step down into the tunnel and run forward to slide to the bottom of the tunnel.

Lara will fall down a shaft and splash down in a pool at the bottom. Pull out of the water, walk to the opening and step forward to slide down to the beach. A hot air balloon will descend. Angle Lara to the right and run toward the balloon to leave France behind.

Footnotes:
  1. Killing Sophia Leigh doesn't advance the kill counter. After all this running around and dodging Sophia, we're certainly going to count her as a kill.

  2. The rest of the pickups are not necessary, unless you don't have enough ammo to take out Sophia, but you should be able to kill her with just pistols if you had to. Of course a single rocket is the most expedient way to take her out. We're documenting them for the sake of completeness.
