This page contains a walkthrough for Belly of the Serpent story mission of Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Meeting Unuratu
The Hidden City is a large area.
Therefore, you should do as Unuratu says and spend some time on exploring it.
you might find a lot of secrets, start new side missions or check goods offered by the merchants.
Reach the bridge in the trading district to continue the main storyline.
Go through the group of people - you’re free to also approach this place form another side.
Watch a longer cut-scene.
After that you will getAmaru’s photo.
Listen to the plan.
After that you must squeeze through the rocks - this will allow you to explore the new area.
Keep going through the rooms.
You reach a chasm.
First, you must jump towards the bar and then towards the climbable wall.
Slide down the rope and then swing on it.
Your goal is to jump on the new larger ledge.
The picture above shows the place where you will have to use your grapple axe.
Release it when you are still in the air.
Use it to reach another climbable wall.
Climb on the ledge located above - by doing that you reach theBelly of the Serpent.
Jump towards the adjacent cage.
Climb on it and then jump towards the interactive wall.
Lara has to climb it to reach the narrow ledge located above.
Press the grapple axe button while you are in the air.
Then, you must climb up the rope to reach the wall’s interactive edges.
Start climbing up the wall.
Stop in the place where you’re free to make a jump towards the ledge on the left.
Keep moving left until you reach a small climbable wall.
Lara must go through narrow tunnels full of corpses and body parts.
You reach a room with a hostile cultist (see the picture above).
Use the fact that he is turned back towards you.
Sneak up on him and press the execution button.
you’re free to examine the corpse on the altar but this step is optional.
Find a weaker part of the wall and destroy it with your axe to leave this place.
The new passage leads to theHead of the Serpent.
Aim at the lever with your bow and shoot an arrow with a rope.
The substance will gather up in the tank right in front of the barricade.
Get closer to the mechanism in the center presented in the picture 1.
Interact with it - this starts fire.
The flames burn the barricade - proceed forward (the picture 2).
Jump towards the climbable wall and then slide down the rope.
Reach the barricade and take a look at the two pillars.
Your goal is to connect both pillars with a rope (the picture 2).
Approach the lever near the taller pillar and start pushing it.
The grooves around the shorter pillar have to be in the right place - see the picture above.
Go to the shorter pillar and use your knife to cut the rope.
Go back to the rotating mechanism near the taller pillar.
Align the grooves - thanks to that the flammable substance will be able to flow around both pillars.
Check the picture above for the solution.
Shoot it with an arrow with a rope.
Lara will pull the lever.
This causes the flammable substance to start spilling.
It should fill the tank near the second barricade (provided that the grooves were aligned correctly).
This destroys the barricade (the picture 2).
Enter the last room and watch a longer cut-scene - Lara finds theSilver Box of Ix Chel.
The escape route is linear.
However, you still have to avoid obstacles and make single jumps.
After that you must go to Unuratu’s house in the Hidden City.
