Barkhang Monastery - Navigating the Burners on the Rooftop

At the top of the stairs leading onto the roof, turn right and head into the alcove flanked by golden animals. Around the corner to the right is a switch that turns off the burners between this area and the next.

The switch is on a timer, which gives you about 20 seconds to cross the burners. So save the game, pull the switch, side flip to the right and run out to the open area.

BUG NOTE: If you're playing the Windows PC game and have used the Tomb Raider multi-patch from tombraiderchronicles.com, you may find you're unable to side flip here. Instead Lara hits an invisible barrier just below the visible ceiling. If this happens, use the switch and then just turn and run. Or uninstall the game, reinstall without the patch, and try setting the program compatibility mode following the instructions here.

Then position Lara facing the row of burners, a few steps back from the first one. If you start at the spot shown in the screenshot above, you can then take a quick series of standing jumps over the burners without running into any of them or having to adjust Lara's position.

Like so.

Once you've cleared the last burner, head down the stairs to the left and continue with the main walkthrough.
