The second half of Part 2. This time, we head to the Palace and Arena of Set, full of nice warm instant-death lava under platforming challenges.
We take on the first boss of the game, who sadly is extremely vulnerable to the timeless art of circle-strafing, and get our hands on the Shawl: an artifact that lets the player slow-fall if they re-press-and-hold Jump while in the air. If you have enough Health (and are willing to get your feet slightly burned off by the not-as-instantly-lethal acid in Karnak Sanctuary), you can even use it to sequence break and take an early route up to the Heket Marsh.
I'm trying to do an 'honest' no sequence break and no save-stating run, so next time, we're visiting the Caverns of Peril and the Nile Gorge, to go get the Anklets that let us take that route the way Ramses intended.
