Cleopatra's Palaces (1st)
Items: 3
Kills: 1
Your first visit to Cleopatra's Palaces will be brief. You are just here to retrieve an artifact to complete a set.
Lara Knows Best
The palaces are cavernous and it's easy to loose sight of what your objective is, but as soon as you step inside the courtyard, Lara will show you where you need to go by giving you a good look at the location of the objective.
Wherefore Art Thou?
Okay, you're trying to get to the opening high above the north side of the courtyard, but the path that leads up to it is circuitous. First head for the balcony.
Forced Entry
From here, you'll have to force your way into the passage that leads up to the opening. The way is staring you right in the face.
Lack of Imagination
The hole leads down into an area that will appear quite familiar at first, but don't think the designers of these traps are completely without imagination. This time, there are a few twists. Your first order of business is to get out of the oily pool. From the platform, you can take a few jumps to adjoinging ledges to find the beetle. From there, you must make your way back to the ledge you first climb onto. That will require that tricky "grab onto nothing" running jump. From there, you should be able to make your way out.
Complete the Set
You got the fourth Black Beetle? You're ready to finish the set back in the temple.
