Coastal Village - Tree House Overlooking the Swamp

In the area with the clustered huts, face the pool with the waterfall. Then head off to the left, between the large hut and the gray, stone wall.

At the corner of the stone wall, turn right and move into the narrow canyon just far enough to trigger the appearance of another hostile native with a blowgun.

Backflip out into the open. Then flip from side to side while shooting to avoid being hit by poisoned darts.

Afterwards, follow the canyon forward, then right...

...then left, into a clearing with a tree house. (This is "tree house #1" on the left side of the VILLAGE MAP.) When you enter this area, turn left and move past the tree with weapons drawn.

Another enemy emerges from behind one of the blocks next to the stone building. Kill him.

Then climb onto the gray rock at the corner of the stone building. Take care not to fall into the swamp ahead or Lara will drown.

NOTE: The large swamp stands between you and the next level. Although there are a few solid spots in the quicksand, you can't make it all the way across yet. You'll need to return here later.

Kill another man with a blowgun lurking at the front of the building. Jump over to the alcove where he was standing—the angled block in between is safe to stand on.

Stand near the wheel and press Action to turn it.

This raises a trapdoor over the spikes back in the village.

After turning the wheel at the front of the stone building, jump onto the angled block to the left of the wheel and walk to the edge. If you look down around the corner, you'll spot another tribesman lurking in the grassy area under the tree house. He can't reach you with his spiked club, so you can shoot him with pistols from here.

Then hop down and return past the tree and through the narrow canyon to area with the huts.

You'll meet another tribesman as you re-enter the village proper. Shoot him.
