Tomb of Semerkhet

[RoyM]

Having lost the game of Senet I ended up sliding down into a room with two ropes and two large doors - which is not mentioned in the walkthroughs - found two offshoot rooms with Senet pieces, which needed to be smashed by the swinging hammers to reveal parts of a cartouche, which acted as a key to one of the big doors, in here it is clear that another Senet piece needs to be smashed, but it has to be dragged across two squares which are in flame. I cannot drag the piece across without being burnt, and cannot figure out a way of extinguishing the flames - any suggestions gratefully received

RoyM--

The Last Revelation featured a new move in which Lara can push or pull objects without stopping. You need to use that move here in order to smash the second senet piece.

Just press the action button, and the forward or backward button to push/pull the senet piece and keep these buttons pressed.

However, in the event that Lara does catch on fire, there are pools of water in the openings where the poles are located. Use medipacks to keep Lara healthy until you can reach them. Good luck!

OOPS! I forgot to tell you how to deativate the fires. Drop to the floor below, after you claim the Ba Cartouche, kill the jackals then jump from one raised platform to the next, then to the doorway.

Head back to the room with the two large doors, and use the Ba Cartouche to open it. Kill the two jackels then enter the next room. You will see a lever on the wall, do a running jump and grab to pull it.

This will deativate the fires for a short time, get back up the poles to the senet piece as fast as you can, then follow the instrustions in my previous post. Once again, Good Luck! And post back if you need any clarifications.
