Stronghold Passage - Room with Stone Fists

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light screenshot
Position a ball touching one of the stone fists, on the side nearest the golden handle/burners. Place a bomb on the other side of the fist, near the outer corner of the room, so the red circle marking the blast radius is not touching the ball, as shown above. (If the blast radius of your bomb is too big to do this, try un-equipping bomb-enhancing items.)

Stand near the ball, detonate the bomb to raise the fist into the air, and then quickly roll the ball under the fist before it falls.

When the fist falls back down, it should land on the ball, which will keep it elevated so it blocks the hole where the lava boulders emerge.

Repeat this process with the second ball and stone fist: Position a ball next to the fist and plant a bomb on the other side.

Detonate the bomb to raise the fist and quickly roll the ball under it.

This will block the second source of lava boulders.

Now you can roll the 3rd ball onto the round pressure pad to extinguish the burners. Then pull the handle to open the exit in the SW corner.

Now you can roll the balls down into the room below.
