Tomb Raider Walkthrough Part 61 – Going Back In (The Ascension Ritual)

The Ascension Ritual has begun, the transference of Himiko's Soul into its next vessel. Arrow cannot break through the Wind Barrier around them but there maybe another way through it. Drop down and take cover behind the concrete block, the fire fight is about to begin.

Using your cover deal with the armored Solarii who make their appearance. Use the Assault Rifle as it will make your life a bit easier. Pick off the initial wave who are little more than your typical armored Soldiers. It is the second part where it gets harder. There are Sappers in this bunch and a Guardsman with a Riot Shield. Deal with the sapper up and to the right who is nearby the explosives by either shooting the explosives or firing a grenade at him. After that, you have the Guardsman and another sapper who is around the corner. Once again a grenade is a great way to deal with the Sapper. The Guardsman you will likely face in melee. Just remember to Dodge Counter to deal with him quickly and easily. When you have dealt with this wave head forward toward the building. A cutscene runs with the winds picking Lara up again and holding her in the air until a tower crashes down in front of her on some of the Stormguard.

Head over to the right as that path forward is now blocked. Climb up onto the building and head over to the left, down the ramp. Take out the Solarii who appear after the next scene runs. Deal with the ones on the ground then look to the platform above. There are a few more Soldiers there. Aim for the explosives on top of it and pop it to blow a few of them up. Just mop up any survivors and head for that tower. Unfortunately those 2 survivors are 2 Guardmens with shields. Once again, use dodge counters and in the instances you might miss the counter unload a few rounds into them. It will not take too much to deal with them before you can press on.

As she approaches this tower another section of this ziggurat will break away and carry with it a number of the Stormguard and Solarii. Jump onto the one remaining pillar of stone, grabbing hold, then jumping for the craggy wall quickly. Climb on up the wall and keep moving on toward the wind barrier. This leads you into a confrontation with the Oni Stalker. Time to deal with the bosses of the game.
