Temple of Xian - Large Room with Lava Pool and Dragon Statue (Part 2)

Once Lara is standing on the tall, brown block above the lava pool, turn so the wall is on her left. You should now be facing the sloped wall with various ledges, where you first entered this area. Take a running jump down to the next brown block below.

The ornate square ledge in the lava just ahead, which was a burner when you entered, is actually a springboard. Walk to the edge of the brown block nearest the springboard. Hop back, then do a standing jump onto the springboard.

Hold the Forward control so the springboard propels Lara onto the ledge above.

Immediately hop back and grab the edge to avoid the rolling ball that comes down the slope toward you. When it passes, pull up onto the ledge.

Now you need to make your way across the slope to the upper right corner. Begin by taking a standing jump across the tan slope to land on the flat wooden block above and to the right. Immediately run and jump to the brick ledge ahead and a little higher up the slope to avoid another rolling ball.

Walk to the far edge of this ledge and jump across the next slope to the slightly higher brick ledge ahead. (This one is set against the side wall of the room.) Turn around and jump back across the slope to the next higher ledge. Kill the bird that flies in from the room at the top of the slope.

Then turn to face uphill, walk to the upper right corner of the ledge and take a standing jump to grab the edge of the brick ledge above and to the right. Pull up.
