Enter this room and run to the far left to trigger the appearance of a golden uraeus.

It flies in from the hallway where you entered. Shoot it down, while avoiding its poisoned stinger and energy blasts.

Then open the sarcophagus to get a small medipack.

There are several exits from this room. Go through the one with the images of Nekhbet, the vulture goddess, just to the left of the stairs in the northeast corner.

Pass the square door with the carved face and enter the next room. There will be an L-shaped pit in the left corner, provided you swam through the underwater passage and operated the floor-lowering mechanism at the beginning of the level.

Jump down onto the ledge with the hollow bench and shoot it to get some explosive arrows.

Take a standing jump from the edge of the alcove to get out of the pit.

Approach the raised black switch in the doorway ahead on the left (west).

A skeleton then appears on the other side of the room. If you want to use explosives to blow it up, wait for it to move out into the middle of the room.

Then blast it. Otherwise you'll risk blowing up a pair of hollow benches in the room on the other side of the wall, preventing you from getting the items inside later on. (You can also lure the skeleton to the L-shaped pit and blast it into the pit with the shotgun, not shown.)

Then jump up to pull the switch.

This opens the doors on the left, which lead back to the beginning of the level...

...and raises a block just to the right.
