She must shoot out both its eyes to destroy it. Run forward and turn right. Follow the catwalk as it turns left and allow Lara to drop to the floor of the room. Jump over the tentacles and angle Lara to the left. Quickly have her make her way into the room ahead before the sentry fires its first beam. Duck around the door to avoid getting hit by its deadly beams. Equip the revolver with the lasersight if Lara hasn't already done so. Ready the revolver and use the blocks that flank the ramp that leads up to the doorway for cover. Take aim on the sentry's eyes and shoot them both out. When Lara shoots out both the sentry's eyes, the mechanical head will crash down onto the base, causing the tentacles to break and the head to explode.

Turn left and drop into the pool. If Lara explores the ledge beside the pool, eventually a swarm of rats will emerge. Turn right and swim along the pool. Swim past the middle of the cross into the arm of the cross that is directly ahead and pick up a small Medi Pack (21). Flip turn and surface at the middle of the 'T'-shaped pool. Below is a large propeller that is forcing water upwards, preventing Lara from swimming down into the lower part of the pool. Turn right and look down into the deep part of the pool. In the wall of the underwater shaft Lara can spot a small opening. When Lara has caught her breath, dive down and enter the opening. Swim into the tunnel and turn right.

A statue of a Roman legionary will come to life in the room ahead.
	Legionary	Not only can the Legionary (2) use its sword to cut Lara down, it can also fire bolts from it as well. Draw the shotgun that Lara just picked up and equip it with the Shotgun Normal Ammo and blast off its armor while jumping side to side. As it advances, take a backflip, but continue firing. Eventually it will fall after about 16 shotgun blasts. Make sure Lara keeps her distance or the Legionary may collapse right on top of Lara. The window above the ledge that the Legionary was originally standing on will burst open, and the underwater gate that prevents access to the last symbol will open.

Swim forward through the opening ahead and surface. Pull up out of the water at the opening ahead and Lara will find herself back at the garden. Lara steps through the opening back into the garden. She draws her guns and calls out, "Come out, come out wherever you are?" Larson pops out from behind the building with his gun draw, "Heck, this ambushin' ain't what it used to be." Lara trains her guns on him and replies, "Not when you're involved, no." "Practice makes perfect, I'm reckonin'." "Whatever," Lara tells him carelessly. "We seem to be missing someone," Lara notices. She side steps out of the opening into the middle of the garden. "If you's talking 'bout Frenchy, he's kind of... indisposed," Larson announces smugly. "And you thought you might just help yourself to his share of what's behind that gate?" Lara asks. "Unless of course this is just a social visit." Larson tells her sweetly, "Well, you know I's always pleased to see a little belle like you, Lara. Be more pleased to see that last stone, though, if you'll be wantin' to hand it over." Lara fires and Larson dives behind the building and complains, "That ain't supposed to happen." Quickly draw weapons and open fire on Larson. Jump back and forth to try to dodge Larson's shots. After Larson falls, Lara will holster her guns. Lara begins to approach Larson with her guns trained on him. A noise, like stone grinding on stone, catches her attention and she looks up. The stone serpents begin to move and look around. Lara begins to back away and calls out to Larson, "Larson! Behind you!" Her voice is clearly alarmed. Larson, holding his wound, doesn't notice the serpents eyeing him from behind and tells Lara, "I may be a dumb ass but I ain't fallin' for that again." "No, really," Lara points with her guns, "behind you." Larson raises the pitch of his voice to ape Lara, "Behind you! Behind you!" The three serpents emerge from the building and squirm around Larson. One of the serpents clamps its jaws around Larson's midriff. Lara continues to back away while Larson is screaming frantically. Finally the serpent flings Larson across the garden. He lands hard on his back and lets out a, "Whoa."(follow plot)
	Gate Serpents	Quickly angle Lara to the left and sprint forward. Duck behind the building to avoid the three Gate Serpents (3, 4, 5). They do not move from the front of the building. Grab the box of shotgun wideshot ammo (31). Turn right and run behind the building to pick up a large Medi Pack (32). Run forward, turn right and pick up a box of shotgun normal ammo (33). Now turn right so that Lara is facing the building with her back to the closed gate that led up to the temple on the hill. Draw the shotgun with whatever shells Lara happens to have the most of. Wait until the serpents have launched a few fireballs, and take a side flip to the left. Get off as many shots as Lara can before the serpents are ready to spit fire again. Lara will know because the serpents make a screeching cry just before launching fire. Repeat until all three serpents are destroyed. When it's safe, turn left and cross the garden and pick up another box of shotgun normal ammo (34) and a box of shotgun wideshot ammo (35). Return to the front of the building and place the Mars and Venus symbols into their receptacles. The door in the front of the building will blow apart and reveal a cavern inside. Strangely enough, the cavern inside is bigger than the building itself. On the opposite side of the building lays the Philosopher's Stone set in the strange wall ahead. Step inside the building and take a standing jump over the pit of spikes and grab the ledge in the middle of the room and pull up. Take a running jump over a second pit to the ledge with the Philosopher's Stone ahead, however the ledge will collapse away, and drop Lara onto the slope below. Lara will take a tiny bit of damage and slide into the Coliseum.
