You are now on top of a sphinx. Slide down at the back, on the right side. Run to the right. Turn right and kill the mummy running around in front of the sphinx. Opposite the first leg of the sphinx is a light yellow pillar. Climb on the little elevation right of it and from there onto the pillar itself. Turn around and jump up to the next pillar.

(There is also another route up here, which will lead you a bit more to the right first and involves some traversing.) Save your game at the crystal and pull the lever to open a door below. Turn around, a creature will come flying towards you. Kill it. From the platform with the lever make a standing jump towards the platform with the shotgun shells on the left. Collect them. Then make a running jump towards the next platform left. Grab the ledge and pull up. Collect the next pack of shotgun shells. Take a running jump towards the next platform. Slide down the little slope backwards. Slide down further to reach ground level.

1st Ankh

Run towards the sphinx and turn left to run along the sphinx' right side. Pick up the magnum ammo. Then turn left to get into the passage you opened with the first lever. Slide down the passage on the right backwards. Grab the ledge. In case you drop into the water you can use the left passage to get back up and try again. Shimmy to the left. Drop onto the platform. Pick up the magnum ammo and climb into the passage on the right. Climb up the stairs. Ignore the passage on your left and climb further up instead. Slide down the chute and drop into the water. Collect the key. Swim over to the passage and climb back up. Turn left again and again slide down the chute. Jump at the end. Press action to hold on to the bridge. Pull up. Use the key on the lock on your right to open the door opposite. Run over to the door and step inside. There you have to fight another creature. Avoid the fire bolts by jumping sideways. Kill it using the magnums. Collect the small medipack, and the Ankh on the pedestal. Then save your game at the crystal. Step back outside and drop into the water. Swim over to the stairs and climb up. At the top turn right. Jump into the second pool and there as well swim over to the stairs. (Or instead you can make a running jump from the platform right into the passage.) Climb up and follow the passage out back towards the sphinx.

2nd Ankh

Return to the sphinx' left leg - the undamaged one. Climb onto the light yellow pillar again. Continue onto the block on the right and from there over to the walkway left. Follow it and collect the magnum ammo. Jump over to the right to follow the platform further. At the end you have to jump over to the left. Jump along till you can climb a pillar on your right.

Again you have to take on one of those horrible centaurs. Kill it while jumping from side to side the whole time. Collect the small medipack and the second Ankh. Step back outside. Slide down the slope on your right. Pick up the large medipack at the end. Jump onto the back of the sphinx again.

Using the Ankhs

Kill the attacking panther mummy. Then climb onto the elevated block. From there make a running jump towards the niche in the head. Pull up. Climb further up ahead. Run over to the left and use the first Ankh there. Climb around to the front. Use the second Ankh to open a door between the sphinx' legs. Then save your game at the crystal.
Secret 1: Climb up onto the head on the right side. Turn to face outwards. There you can see some ammo hanging in the air. Make a very daring running jump to get there. You will land on an invisible platform. Pick up the Uzis. Take a running jump towards the rocks. Grab the ledge and pull up. Kill the two flying Atlanteans.
Climb down to ground level.

Draining Water

Drop further down. Slide down the rest of the way and jump into the water. Swim between the right statue. Climb out and use the lever you will find there. This opens a door between the legs of the left statue. Jump into the water and dive into the newly revealed passage. Climb out at the end and run up the ramp. Collect the 2 packs of magnum ammo on your way up. Save your game at the crystal. Then collect the scarab at the top. The gate opens. Prepare to fight two panther mummies and a centaur.
