Tomb Raider Walkthrough Part 52 – Storm Chaser (Tomb: Temple of the Handmaiden)

Head through the narrow opening to the left of the door you had to break through. After the first passage you need to use a Rope Arrow to make a bridge to avoid a heavy stream. On the other side just keep moving forward  You will find the Temple of the Handmaiden proper before too long after that. This Tomb is about sequencing and timing. If you make a mistake between the first and the second part of it you will need to restart with the first part.

Head forward and go to the wheel to the left of the camp fire. You need to use the Axe to raise the nearby cage, allowing the buoy to move along with the current. Quickly head over to the left and climb up onto the ledge above. Turn to the right and wait for the post to get moved into position by the buoy. Jump and swing across the gap to the other side.

Now turn to the right and look for the Rope Target. Hit it with a Rope Arrow to allow the Buoy to turn it even farther than it would otherwise. Needless to say, do this as soon as you land on that second platform. Once again, wait for the post to move into position and then use it to swing over to the craggy wall.

Climb up the wall after that and head through the tunnel nearby to get at the Treasure Chest. It contains: XP, Salvage, a Handgun Part and the GPS Cache Treasure Map. This is the final optional tomb, if all other optional tombs where completed them you will get the achievement/trophy, “Intellectually Superior” and you will also be able to assemble the final handgun, the Magnum.

Getting out of here is not too hard. Head over to the right from the chest and take the Zipline down. Pause at the Day Camp if you have the pieces to assemble the Magnum. After that just head on out the same way you got in through the tunnel back out onto the Beach. You can either wade across or try to cross the stream with the Rope Bridge you assembled earlier.
