Temple of Xian - Wooden Bridge with Rolling Blade

Tomb Raider 2 screenshot
The blade doesn't start rolling until you step out onto the long wooden bridge. Run across ahead of the blade and move to the left side of the ledge to get out of its way. Push the button to open the doors at the top of the STEEP SLOPE WITH TIERED SPRINGBOARDS back in the temple. Then kill another bird.

Now return across the bridge to the room on the other side. There are several ways to do this: You can follow the blade as it rolls away, taking running jumps to go farther faster and veering left into the room at the end of the bridge, as shown above.

Or, stand on the ledge near the button, angled toward the middle of the bridge, as shown above.

Wait for the blade to emerge from the doorway moving toward you.

As rolls out onto the bridge, hop back once.

Then take a running jump past the oncoming blade onto the middle of the bridge. Continue running into the room ahead and veer to the left to get out of the blade's way.
