In the single-player game, there is a pressure pad in the near left corner which deactivates certain of the flame vents and raises a set of wooden ledges, allowing Lara to reach the wide ledge on the upper left side of the room. You'll need to retrieve the time bomb in the far corner and use it to depress this pad. Start by moving around the edge of the room to the left.

As you jump across the gap in the walkway and continue around toward the middle of the room...

...several crocodile priests appear and begin casting lightning bolts.

Shoot them and destroy their bodies with remote bombs, as usual. Or, if you're still working on the crocodile challenge, attempt to bomb them off the ledges into the gaps.

When you've eliminated the enemies, head for the time bomb in the upper corner of the walkway. If you're attempting the time bomb challenge, do not touch the bomb. Instead raise the Staff of Osiris and plant a remote bomb between the time bomb and the wall and detonate it to blast the time bomb to the left.

Keeping the Staff raised, use another remote bomb to hurl the time bomb across the gap toward the pressure pad.

Then move back around the walkway toward the start...

...and use another remote bomb or two to finesse the time bomb onto the pressure pad.

This shuts of some of the flame vents and raises the wooden ledges along the gap between the walkways.

Continue holding the staff up as you move back around to the right corner.

Now jump across the ledges and climb onto the wide ledge above the pressure pad and time bomb.

Move around behind the low wall and step on the pressure pad to shut off the rest of the flame vents.
