Sanctuary of Flame - Back to the Entrance

After crossing the pool and taking the FIRE CRYSTAL...

...the gate at the entrance re-opens. As you approach the pool, several small, floating platforms rise out of it. Before making the return trip, pick up a few health items in the high alcove on the left.

To get there, take a standing jump from the top of the stairs to the first floating platform.

Jump straight up to grab the edge of the platform above and pull up.

Walk to the far edge and take a standing jump to grab the edge of the alcove; pull up. Pick up bandages (2) and V-Packer shells (3).

While you're grabbing the goodies, another hexagonal platform rises up to meet the ledge. To get down, take a running jump from the alcove, using the new hex for takeoff. Sail over the other floating platforms and land at the top of the steps.

- OR -

Alternatively, stand at the back edge of the floating platform just outside the alcove. Then take a short hop (Walk + Jump) down to the next platform, and jump from there to the stairs.

Descend the stairs and walk out to the middle of the ledge above the flaming pool. Take a short hop onto the hexagonal block directly ahead (not the one on the left). Turn right and take a standing jump to the nearest floating platform.

Grab the floating platform above, pull up, and turn left.

Walk forward, then jump to the next set of floating platforms.

Step onto the farther of these two, turn left again (toward the middle of the pool), and jump down to the next set of platforms (one floater joined to one that is anchored).

NOTE: If Lara takes a little damage from the fiery plumes, don't stress too much; her health will be restored when you change levels.

Stand on the solid block for a moment and new platforms will appear ahead. This is not a bridge. There's a gap between the last two blocks.

So step out onto the first floating block and then jump to the solid one.

More floating platforms appear to the left. Jump over to them.

Another floating platform appears ahead. Walk to the end of the three joined floaters and jump over to the single one. From there, jump to the solid blocks near the exit.

Now just avoid the rocket blocks (marked above) as you make your way to the gate and return to the HALL OF SEASONS.
