“The Serpent’s Heart” also features the Dragon Scales outfit, which reduces fire damage, prevents stumbling, and accelerates health regeneration. Those who complete the challenge tomb will be rewarded with the Divine Bounty skill, which causes fallen foes to yield more gold coins when looted.

Lara must also complete the Slayer's Gauntlet and navigate roaring rapids in order to receive the power of the serpent god. Lara must infiltrate an enemy fortress to stage a daring prison break, then engage in a battle against evil Kukulkan cultists. Once you've dealt with these three, the fight is over, and Lara says, "Time to move." Be sure to loot the corpses and pick up the shotgun and rifle ammo near the pillars if you didn't get it earlier.Experience “ The Serpent’s Heart” DLC and endure the mighty Slayer’s Gauntlet in an attempt to save the lives of loyal rebels. The resulting explosion may kill all three. If you ready a fire arrow while they attempt to break down the bars, you can shoot the green container, just inside the gate on the left, as soon as they bust through. In the actual game, I only encountered 3 more Yaaxil (14-16), not the 4 shown in the movie. When you've taken care of those three, a short cutscene shows four enemies rushing the wooden gate in the southwest corner. Keep blasting/dodging and run away and heal if necessary. Again, depending on where Lara is, he may come at you straight on or circle around the left pillar. and the third (13) emerges from the lower middle tunnel. The second (12) emerges from a tunnel on the lower right. The first (11) comes from the middle tunnel and either rushes straight at you or circles around to the left, depending on where Lara is standing. Meanwhile, 3 more of the painted warriors (11-13) emerge from the tunnels at ground level.

Deal with him using your preferred weapon/technique. If you only kill the archer, the other will drop down and rush toward you. You can detonate the green orb on the ledge. Then quickly turn your attention to the next 2 enemies (9-10), one archer and one without a bow, in the upper right opening. One fire arrow will take care of him, but you can use regular arrows, rifle, or pistol if you prefer.

When he's out of the way, switch weapons and shoot the archer on the ledge above. You can then take out the one on the ground with the shotgun or dodge kill. If you stay behind the pillar, you're safe from the archer. The next 2 Yaaxil (7-8) are an archer on the upper left platform, who shoots deadly green arrows, and another warrior that emerges from the lower passageway and circles around to flank you from the left. Grab what you can and take cover behind the left pillar. You'll also find 2 boxes of rifle ammo near the left pillar, and you can search the bodies for health and endurance herbs, and possibly a few arrows. If you need shotgun ammo, there's a box sitting next to the square pillar to the right of the starting position. After you've taken care of the 4 enemies that drop down from the upper right ledge, Lara says, "More coming," and you have a moment to regroup.
