Head upstairs and loot the two [VASES] on your way.  Make your way to the center of the area and turn right (east). You'll notice that the lens sets the upcoming pathway on fire with a concentrated sun laser.  Move between the alcoves to avoid getting hit.  One of the alcoves contains a torch which contains a [SAPPHIRE (SQUARE)].

You need three emblems to continue your way. This video shows how to get the Earth emblem.

Head over to the corridor to the east and kill more Majini's (and a Cephalo).  Continue upstairs and you'll have to face another big group of Majini's.  Beware of a bowmen on higher ground (to the southwest).  Collect the [EARTH EMBLEM] along with a [GREEN HERB] here, then return to the center of the area and grab the contents of two more [VASES].

You can insert the Earth Emblem to initiate a checkpoint.  Head west and carefully cross the pathway on which the sun laser regularly bursts.  Loot two [VASES] to the south, then proceed to a larger hall on the west.  Several Majini will be guarding the [SEA EMBLEM] at the altar, including bowmen.  A [VASE] can also be looted near the altar.  When you attempt to head back, another group of Majini attacks - including a Giant Majini.  Waste them (easier said than done, I know), and return to the center of the area to insert the Sea Emblem.  One more to go!

The last emblem is up north.  Move between the passages and beware of the laser as usual.  At the end of the first passageway you can find two [VASES].  A torch in an alcove of the other passage contains a [TOPAZ (SQUARE)].

At the passage to the south, go west and lend Sheva a hand so she can move to the altar that contains the [SKY EMBLEM].  A bunch of Majini's while she's going there, including a Giant Majini.  Take care of them and cross the passage with the laser.  You can also (optionally) go east and collect the [RUBY (PEAR)] which is attached to the ceiling of a doorway.  This one may be tricky to get, so move in between the laser bursts.  Around the east corner you can find an [EMERALD (PEAR)].

Head back to the center of the room and insert the Air Emblem.  You can now leave the area.  Shoot the [DIAMOND (TRILLIANT)] above the doorway.

Are you finding yourself stuck at Resident Evil 5’s only ‘official’ puzzle?. This video tells you everything you need to know about it.

Head downstairs and you'll get to a room with a puzzle.  Walk around the laser beams and turn the mirror in the northwest corner to the left.  Step 1 solved!  Ride the elevator down and you'll have to solve another one. 

There are two pillars in this room which you should know down.  These would otherwise block the laserbeam.  Turn the mirror in the center of the room one time to the right: This'll align it with the adjacent mirrors.  Now turn the mirror in the northeast corner to the left and the next elevator will be activated.

In this area, turn the mirror in the southwest corner to the right, the one in the northwest corner to the right as well, and lastly the one on the northeast to the right again.  This setup will open all treasure chambers.

The treasure chamber to the west houses a [BEETLE (GOLD)], the one to the north spawns two Bui kichwa but it also contains a [BSAA EMBLEM].  Enter the chamber, turn around and look up to spot it.  Last, the treasure chamber to the east contains six [POTS], nine [VASES], an [IDOL (GOLD)], and you can smash the animal skulls for a [EMERALD (PEAR)] and a [RUBY (PEAR)].

After getting all the treasure, turn the mirror in the southwest corner to the right (so that the laser beams aren't aligned anymore).  Now turn the center mirror to the left, and turn the mirror you just flipped (in the southwest corner) to the LEFT.  This will solve the puzzle, and you can now use the last elevator to the south.  A scene will play, closing chapter 4.
