On the south wall of the OBELISK area is a series of alcoves separated by greenish stone blocks. The rightmost alcove is actually a door. Enter and slide down the ramp into a doorway.
Kill the 2 panthers (6-7) from the doorway.
Then hop down into the room, go to the top of the green steps on the west wall, and climb onto the block above. Turn around and take a running jump to the next higher block.
Turn around, take a running jump to grab the thin, rectangular ledge above the block you just came from, and pull up.
Turn left and take a running jump onto the tall, free-standing pedestal. Jump from there to the wide ledge with the doorway and large medi pack (10).
NOTE: If you don't care about getting all the kills, you can skip the next room with the mummies and instead follow the shortcut in the main walkthrough.
Just in front of where you got the medi pack is a doorway above a long stone ramp. Don't slide down or you'll be ambushed. Instead hang from the edge of the doorway to rouse the 2 mummies (8-9) in the room below.
Then pull up. You could shoot the mummies from this doorway, but it's easier if you go to the right (north) end of the ledge...
...and drop onto the rectangular ledge below. From there, jump into the opening that looks in on the room with the mummies.
You should be able to shoot them from here without getting hurt. (Alternatively, slide down the ramp into the room, run to the right side of the ramp, and climb onto that same ledge from inside.)
When you've destroyed both mummies, turn to face out over the TALL ROOM WITH LEDGES. Jump back over to the ledge on the right. Then take a running jump to grab the small corner ledge ahead. Turn left and climb onto the greenish stone block.
Take a running jump to grab the thin, rectangular ledge ahead. Pull up, walk forward, and pull up onto the ledge above.
Turn around and take a running jump to the L-shaped ledge with the greenish stone block in the northeast corner. Climb onto the corner block and turn around.
Now pull up onto the large, square ledge above the corner block. Take a running jump over to the second large, square ledge, ahead on the left. Turn left...
...and take another running jump to grab the wide, stepped ledge ahead. Pull up. (NG+ players will find a save crystal here.) Turn left again, move down onto the second highest step, walk to the edge, and pull up onto the ledge in front of the wide staircase above. This will awaken a mummy (10) at the top of the stairs.
DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. May I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
