Chasm Ziggurat - Battle atop the Ziggurat - Phase Two

Approach the steps with the burning boards to trigger another cut scene.

As a platoon of Stormguard climb out of the chasm, a huge gust of wind blows across the ziggurat. Lara sinks her climbing axe into the floor and barely manages to hang on.

Just as a trio of Oni pikemen move to attack her, the wind topples a massive stone column on top of them.

The fallen column blocks the wind but also prevents you from moving forward. Scramble onto the ledge on the right and follow the ramp down to the next open area.

Another short cut scene shows Oni and Solarii skirmishing ahead. A lightning bolt knocks down another column, taking out one of Mathias's soldiers. The Oni run off, presumably to protect their queen, leaving you to deal with the remaining Solarii.

You can use the same basic strategy as before: Take cover behind one of the square chunks of rubble as you kill a shotgunner and 2 riflemen, then several more riflemen and 2 demo men.

Be sure to scramble out of the way when you see incoming dynamite.

And when 2 more enemies appear on top of the building ahead, shoot the explosive balloon to take them out quickly.

Boom!
