continue: Snake Pit

Drop carefully into the snake pit. As soon as you're down draw your weapons. You are surrounded by 4 snakes. They won't move towards you but they can reach far, so they might bite you. (A medipack will heal the wound. Make sure all snakes are dead before you take a medipack, otherwise you might waste them.) Light a flare. Now step towards one of the ramps. This will wake the cobra behind. Shoot it. Now step between the two sloped blocks. A boulder behind Lara will be triggered. Jump over to where the cobra was and stay there till it's save. Now shoot the remaining 5 cobras. Then run into the passage.

The Boss

Crawl into the alcove on the right and follow the passage. Climb down at the end. Collect the small medipack and the crystal. Slide down. Run towards the right edge, facing the boss. (As soon as he's send the first bolt in your direction the water is on fire.) Draw your weapons. Jump sideways and back while shooting at the boss. Repeat this till he dies. This will not take very long not even with the normal guns.
