Temple of Xian - Ramps and Metal Balls

This room contains three stone ramps with a giant metal ball perched above them. If you advance cautiously, you can trigger each one and get out of the way without being flattened.

To trigger the third ball, step forward onto the second tile in the ramp. Then hop back twice and grab the edge of the ramp and hang there. The ball will roll down toward Lara and pass harmlessly overhead. Pull up and continue.
