The Hive - Uzis and Subterranean Pool

After defeating the centaur at the top of the steps, as shown in the previous section, safety drop through the opening in the floor into the room below.

Pick up the UZIS (13) on the pedestal, plus some ammo (14) on the floor nearby.

If you've found the other weapons in Atlantis, you'll unlock the "To Arms" achievement/trophy when you take these guns.

Now slide down the long slope into a subterranean pool.

There are items scattered on the bottom of the pool, but unless you're very low on health, ignore them for now. Otherwise you'll risk triggering various mutants lurking on ledges above the water. Climb out on the ledge in the northeast corner (i.e., on the left when facing the slope you just slid down). There's a mutant (9) lurking on the ledge above. Climb up...

...and kill it quickly before it bombards Lara with projectiles.

Then pick up the magnum clips (15) in the northeast corner.

Follow the walkway where the mutant was standing to the far end, where it slopes down toward the water. Just before the end of the walkway, there's a square bit that juts out on the left. Take a running jump from there to the flat, rectangular island in front of the tiered ledges with the 3 mutants (10-12).

When Lara lands on the island, the mutants animate, and you can shoot them across the water with pistols.

Ignore the mutant (15) off to the left (southwest) for now. We'll get a good angle on it momentarily. Take a running jump across the water to grab the edge of the wide opening. Pull up. Then climb the tiered ledges where the 3 mutants were.

Drop down behind them to find 5 sets of Uzi clips (16-20). Nice!

When you climb back out, 2 more mutants (13-14) have spawned on the ledges near the pool. You may be able to target the first mutant with pistols as you first climb out of the pit.

Then, when it explodes, step out a little farther to the right to target the second. If they do start hurling projectiles, don't be afraid to break out the magnums or Uzis. There are a few tougher encounters ahead, but your weapons and ammo won't carry over to the next level, so there's no need to be too stingy with ammo.

Now, go to the right side of the wide ledge above the water and jump onto the square block with the magnum clips (21) on top.

Immediately draw weapons and destroy the mutant (15) on the southwest corner ledge. Sidestepping left and right while firing can help minimize the damage from its projectiles.
