Temple of Xian - Spider Cave (Part 2)

Now you must climb the ledges around the edge of the cavern to reach the doorway high above. The path is shown below. The numbers in the screenshots correspond to the diagram included in the main walkthrough.

Begin by climbing onto the one stone block you can reach (1). It's against the wall on the far side of the cavern from the entrance.

Turn so the cave wall is on Lara's right. Take a running jump to grab the next higher block (2) and pull up.

Turn around, walk to the edge and take a standing jump to grab the thin ledge jutting out from the wall above (3). Pull up.

You should now be almost level with the egg sac, which is on Lara's right. Take a running jump to the next small, square ledge (4).

Move to the outer corner and then take a standing jump to the next ledge, which is L-shaped (5). A giant spider will drop down in front of you here. To avoid being knocked off the ledge as you fight, immediately backflip onto the previous ledge (4).

Shoot the spider from there. Then jump back onto the L-shaped ledge (5), walk around the corner and turn to face the egg sac (6).

Now take a running jump from the middle of the longer section of the L-shaped ledge (6) down to the tall pillar at the center of the cavern (7), which is almost directly under the egg sac.

Take another running jump along the right side of this block (7) to grab the pillar below the doorway (8).

Pull up and walk to the opposite edge of the pillar. Take a final standing jump from the edge of this pillar to grab the doorsill (9) and pull up.
