Complete Tomb Raider: Legend Part 20 walkthrough covering the statue puzzle, water wheel, spike traps, and the falling ball sequence.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From a pillar with a groove, jump and hang from it. Go around the corner on the ledge and drop to the ledge below.
  2. 2
    Around the bend on this pillar, jump up to the ledge above and then backwards onto the ledge directly behind you.
  3. 3
    Shimmy around the corner and onto the ledge on the wall. Drop down a level and move right, jumping across the broken gap.
  4. 4
    At the end of this ledge, jump up to the ledge above and then jump right onto the platform beyond.
  5. 5
    On this platform, step on the pressure button to activate a mechanism on the statue. The closest restraint will release.
  6. 6
    The platform beneath the corresponding restraint will turn over, dropping its block. It will turn again and stop.
  7. 7
    Face the moving platform and run/jump to it, then immediately jump to the solid platform beyond.
  8. 8
    Jump to the next moving platform and then to the solid platform beyond that.
  9. 9
    On this platform, grab the small movable block and place it onto the nearby button.
  10. 10
    The closest restraint will open, and the platform before it will turn over.
  11. 11
    Once it has finished turning, jump to the platform with the first button and step on it to release the other restraint.
  12. 12
    As soon as the restraint is fully open, race to the middle platform in front of the statue, grapple the small circle in its chest, and pull it as far as possible before the restraint closes again.
  13. 13
    A cinematic will play, showing water rising to pour back to the water wheel near the start of the temple.
  14. 14
    Move to the far button platform with the block on it and turn it.
  15. 15
    Jump to the first suspended block from the roof, await the second, jump to it, and finally to the ridged ladder to climb up.
  16. 16
    Jump into the water and make your way back to the water wheel.
  17. 17
    Climb down the ridged ladder before the water wheel. A cinematic will play showing the spiked trap is now active.
  18. 18
    Jump to the wheel, across it to the other side, onto the rope, and onto the platform beyond.
  19. 19
    Observe the timing of the spike traps and start moving as they begin to retract. Perform a roll to pass unharmed.
  20. 20
    Before the spinning blades, grab the large block and move it into the blades to stop them. Jump onto the block and proceed past.
  21. 21
    Continue past stairs and bends until the next spinning blades trap. Grab the block in the wall just before the bend and move it into the blades to stop them.
  22. 22
    Jump onto the block and proceed past.
  23. 23
    An interactive cinematic sequence will begin, controlling Lara as a giant ball chases her. Move immediately to the right side of the corridor and jump over the deactivated spike trap.
  24. 24
    Move to the other side of the corridor and roll beneath the deactivated spike trap.
  25. 25
    Race to the small gap further down and jump over it.
  26. 26
    A cinematic will play with Lara racing through the gap and diving aside to avoid the ball.
  27. 27
    On the platform where the ball went flying off, look left to see a ridged ladder going down.
  28. 28
    Go down the ladder and search the area below to find a silver reward (Silver 3/4).
  29. 29
    On the current platform, jump to the pole sticking out from the wall to the right.
  30. 30
    Jump to the small ledge beyond, shimmy around the bend, and jump up to the level above.
  31. 31
    Go around the bend and jump backwards onto the ledge opposite you.
  32. 32
    Very quickly jump up to the ledge above and then backwards onto the horizontal pole before a falling rock crushes you.
  33. 33
    Swing to the next pole and onto the next ledge. Lara will attempt to contact Zip but will not succeed.
  34. 34
    Turn right on the platform and jump to the suspended trolley.
  35. 35
    From the trolley, jump to the platform slightly below you. The trolley will lower slightly.
Tips
  • When dealing with the spinning blades, moving the block just far enough to stop one side of the blades is sufficient to proceed.
  • During the giant ball chase, pay close attention to the timing of the deactivated traps to avoid damage.
  • The silver reward is located by descending a ridged ladder after the giant ball sequence.
  • Be quick when grappling the statue's chest; there is limited time before restraints re-close.
