Catacombs of the Talion - Timed Run to the Exit

The floor tile just below the doorway (shaded in green in the screenshot above) contains an invisible pressure pad that closes the door if Lara steps on it. So, to keep the door from closing, walk to the edge of the raised doorway and jump forward to land near the snowballs.

Then jump over the snowballs or walk around them to the doorway beyond.

Turn around to face the snowballs and the raised door on the right, which should still be open. The pressure pad near the snowballs opens the exit, on the far side of the room with the spikes. It is timed to close after about 8 seconds. To get through, position Lara on the seam between the floor tile in the doorway and the first tile inside the room, facing the snowballs, as shown above.

Now press and hold Forward and almost immediately press and hold Jump to take two continuous running jumps across the room. The first jump will take Lara over the pressure pad and snowballs, opening the exit in the process.

The second will land her in the doorway. (Pulling up is too slow.)

Then you can run straight on through the exit before it closes.
