Coastal Village - Temple with Skylights and Dart Traps

Cross the wooden bridge and enter the temple. Draw the shotgun or Desert Eagle if you have it. Turn right.

Then take a couple of walking steps backwards onto the low ramp to trigger the appearance of another tribesman from the dead-end passageway opposite. Stand your ground as you shoot him. If you back up too far, you'll run into a whirling blade.

Or, if you'd rather use pistols, use the same tactic to trigger the tribesman and then run past him, roll and shoot him while backing up into the safe alcove he came from.

When the coast is clear, crawl under the blade into the next room.

Lara looks up at the skylight in the ceiling as you enter. Yes, this is a hint. Don't step into the light or you'll trigger a poisoned-dart trap and raise the spikes in the trench ahead.

Instead, go around the corner to the right and press the button to cover the skylight and deactivate the traps.

Now, pick up the large medi pack and take a running jump across the stream. Climb onto the higher section of floor, take a few steps forward...

...then duck and crawl over to the save/power-up crystal. Approaching it activates more poisoned-dart traps. Stay low to avoid being struck and poisoned.
