The big boss is one mean, king freak. The area you have to fight in isn't very hospitable either. If you're lucky, the boss will only try and shove you to an inglorious demise. If the boss gets off one shot, Lara is toast. Sprint the straightaways and slow through the turns. You should be able to keep your distance. Unless the pit is in between Lara and the boss, Sprinting through the tuns is risky, as the slopes of the outer edge are an invitation to disaster. If the boss has you in his sights, you might as well unload some ammo: maybe you can stun him before he takes the shot. Closing the gap is not advised. Ideally, you want to fire the first salvo of your attack as the boss passes in front of an alcove where you have yet to claim the artifact. When the boss crumples momentarily, it's time to grab an artifact. Hustle to the closest alcove, as long as there's still an artifact there and you're not actually going toward the boss. You've only got a few seconds to sprint into the alcove, snatch up the prize, and get back to a position across the hole from the boss. Even if the boss sits stunned, you have to make sure that he's across the pit and in a direct line If he comes to and has a clear line of fire, he can strike anywhere. The boss almost always circles from Lara's right to her left, so you'll want to break to the right when coming back from an alcove. Keep stunning and running until you collect all four of the artifacts. When the last of the four relics is in Lara's possession, the meteor sinks from the ceiling to the central pool. The boss is now vulnerable. Bring that bad boy down. Climb the ladder to the very top. Continue past the face into the highest corner, than back down one notch. Backflip to the hand of one of the huge statues. Jump from there to the central ledge. Follow the tunnel off to the left. You emerge high above the cavern. Monkey-swing to a central large ledge. From the ledge, jump to the central rocky platform. Climb up the rocks. Slide down the slope and turn to the right. Dispose of any lingering rabble. Push the button on the wall. Go through the open gate. The helicopter swoops in low. Go through the gate toward the helicopter for the finishing cut scene.
