Do you mean Jean-Yves?
You’re in the Tomb of Semerkhet, right? Because you mention spiders (beetles), switches (niches), and a rope (pole).
A few levels later you’re in Alexandria, where you meet a guy (reunite to be more precise), and then you head off to cave-like areas (cave is really not the right word), namely Coastal Ruins and Catacombs. You need to give more details, tbh. And what’s the matter?
