City of the Serpent

Region Summary

Main Story Objectives

• Stop Dominguez from Remaking the World

City of the Serpent —
Swim Through the Irrigation System

Swim straight ahead and dive into the hole in the wall. Follow the tunnel along the objective markers. It’s a long way, so fast-swim and take a breath at both trapped air locations.

Go to the Crimson Fire

• Follow the path to the right. Leap toward the metal hook, and use the Grapple Axe to reach the craggy wall. Go right and up until you can pull up onto the floor.
• Swing across the pole to reach the next ledge, being sure to grab on when Lara’s hand slips off. Climb up and leap across another gap in the walkway.
• Continue straight and carefully walk the length of the log. Make a big leap forward and fling the Grapple Axe to grab on to the wall.
• Pull up and go right, making a lateral jump across the unclimbable portion. Continue right and rappel down. Swing backward and then forward before jumping over to the ruins.

• At the far end, tether a rope between the post and a rope coil above the next ledge, and ride the zipline down to reach the crimson fire (2).

Lead the Yaaxil to the Pyramid

• Push forward through the gate. Jump and swing to the cliff face. Follow the Yaaxil right, using the Grapple Axe to swing cross the metal hook to the walkway.

• Immediately sprint, hop the gap, and scramble up the wall. Shimmy left and jump to the craggy surface. Scale left and up until you’re on top of the walkway above.
• Run and jump down the path. Leap toward the metal hook, and use the Grapple Axe to reach the cliff face. Quickly move to the right as the surface crumbles in from the left. Continue up until you reach another walkway.

Defeat Trinity

Once you regain control, shoot the red explosive urn on the right to take out the lone Trinity soldier (3). More enemies drop in; assist the Yaaxil as they take them down.

Around the corner, fight off more Trinity soldiers who appear on the balconies ahead. Another right turn finds an APC and more soldiers. Take the guys down as you push forward. Wall-scramble and climb behind the vehicle to the City of the Serpent Base Camp. Check out available combat Skills before continuing your charge. If you haven’t purchased the Puma’s Feint Skill yet and it’s available, grab it. This Skill is extremely helpful during the boss fight.

• Move along the wood walkway and hop over to the craggy wall. Climb up, shimmy right, jump up to the next ledge, and shimmy more to the right. Scramble up to the next level.
• Tightrope to the end of the beam, jump straight ahead, and throw the Grapple Axe to grab on to the ledge. Climb up and jump to the walkway.
• After a short slide, leap toward the metal hook and use the Grapple Axe to swing to the craggy wall on the left.

• Scale to the platform above. Leap toward the next wall and throw the Grapple Axe to attach to another craggy surface.
• Wall-run left, then right, and leap to a metal hook. This sends you over to a beam that pivots toward the wall.
• Quickly climb up to the craggy portion of the wall, and immediately jump to the right to avoid falling debris.
• Scramble and jump up the wall, being sure to grab on when grip is lost. Shimmy and jump left, then scramble up to the craggy surface.
• Hurry right around the corner. Leap toward the next wall, and throw the Grapple Axe to attach to the overhang. Pull up and move right. Jump up to the overhang ledge and continue upward to find Dominguez (4).
