If you have 4 players, one archaeologist and one Egyptian should climb onto the ledge with the golden ring and the other two use the pillar with the glyphs to climb up to the time bomb. If you only have 3 players, have one Egyptian go for the time bomb while the other two characters climb up near the ring.

Grab the time bomb and hold the staff up to prevent the bomb from exploding prematurely as you maneuver it. Start by pushing it onto the scorch mark near the edge of the spike pit. Then use a remote bomb to blast the time bomb across the pit to the characters on the left.

Move the time bomb onto the pressure pad to temporarily deactivate the flame traps blocking the doorway to the right.

Then set a remote bomb to the left of the time bomb, on the spot with the scorch mark, and move both characters past the fire trap, which stays off as long as the ball remains on the pad. Detonate the remote bomb to fling the time bomb across the flames so you catch it and maneuver it close to the next gap above the spikes. Meanwhile, the characters on the right can move between the columns into the area ahead.

Now do the same thing again: Plant a remote bomb behind the time bomb and detonate it to fling the time bomb across the spikes to the characters on the right.

While the characters on the right roll the time bomb onto the square tile, the ones on the left can climb up to the ledge above using the bubble shield and grapple.

Once the bomb is in position on the right, one of the characters on the left should stand on the first pressure pad on that side to raise the column beneath the time bomb. The character holding it can then push it off the column onto the ledge.

Now one of the characters on the left should stand on the second pressure pad to open the gate off to the right.

Finally guide the bomb over to the crumbling wall and let it explode so you can reach the goodies: the HIGH POWERED ASSAULT RIFLE and a MAX AMMO UPGRADE. When you're finished, drop down and return outside to the main area.
