Jump across the skull statues below the fire, then turn the corner and go to the end where you can jump behind yourself to one of the walkway platforms. Push the cart over against the cliff wall, then climb up it to some handholds you can take to the right. Drop over the side and jump down to the ledge below and to your right, then cross a narrow ledge to another stone landing. Tap at the other side of the area beyond to push a large stone out of your way with Flynn. Go forward and jump up the ledges on the left that lead to a gap in the walls you can squeeze through. Follow him up, then jump across the gap after him. Climb down and drop to a lower ledge, then take that around to the right and jump to another ledge where you can boost Flynn up. From there, jump to the handholds on the wall in front of you. Head around the path ahead and jump to the next platform, where you'll find the 091 Toad Censer off to your left. If you try it a second time, he'll just put a bullet in you and you'll be forced to start from the last checkpoint.

When you regain control, don't bother trying to fight him, because Flynn has no trouble beating you down. The road over to the other side of the secret cavern becomes unusable, so you and Flynn have to get over there and open the way back up. With you for this enterprise is your old pal Flynn. He's holding both your lady friends hostage, so you'll have to open up the way to Shambhala for him. Unfortunately, you're apprehended by Lazarevic before you can do anything with it. That raises the globe in the center of the room, revealing the bowl beneath.

It's actually quite easy: turn all the large daggers on the wall so they're pointing downward, matching the figures behind them (only two need to be turned). Now you can concentrate on solving the room's puzzle. Right off the bat, shoot down the 090 Bronze Garuda from high up on the wall to the right. You get to team back up with an old colleague in this chapter, a secret is revealed and you get a first-hand demonstration of both Lazarevic's ruthlessness and his power. Although an easy path to where you're going exists, the ancient protectors of Shambhala have ensured that someone will still have to climb, jump and defy death to get there before that simple walkway becomes usable. Even after you find the secret entrance to Shambhala, there is still more platforming and puzzle-solving needing to be done.
