The Great Wall - Gauntlet of Traps (Part 2)
Includes Secret #2 - Jade Dragon
This sequence is also shown in a video walkthrough.
After jumping over the spikes and sliding down the slope, Lara lands in a room with spiked walls encroaching. There's a set of automatic pistol clips on the floor near the skeleton. To get them without dying, make sure that when you jump over the spikes in the area above, Lara lands on the slope and doesn't overshoot it and just fall through the hole. Then, as she slides, don't press Action. She'll bang her face on the wall, but this will cause her to land in exactly the right spot in the room below. As soon as she touches the floor, side flip (press Jump + Left) to land directly on the clips.
If you press and hold Action as you flip, Lara will pick up the clips as soon as she lands. While she's crouching to grab them, press and hold Forward + Action + Jump.
Then, as soon as she's made the pickup, she'll jump forward to grab the edge of the doorway.
Keep holding Forward + Action, and she'll immediately pull up and step forward. The spikes should then close harmlessly behind her.
If you're not fast enough or just don't care about getting all pickups, skip the clips and just fall into the room, flip to the left, run forward and climb into the doorway. Save the game again here.
Now, run down the next hallway, over the collapsing floor with spikes below, leaping over the 3 slicing blades as you run. Try to time the first jump so Lara takes off at the seam between the third and fourth collapsing tiles (indicated by the 'X' in the screenshot above). Then you can just hold Forward and Jump as you run to clear the remaining blades in a smooth series of running jumps.
At the end of the hall, veer to the left. You can even angle Lara slightly to the left while she's in the air after jumping over the last blade (as shown above).
SECRET#2, the Jade Dragon is sitting on the floor in plain sight. Try to grab it before the spiked walls close in.
Then quickly run across the next concealed spike pit into a long hallway with spikes all along one side.
