Temple of Xian - Spiked Wall Trap Room

The switch in the alcove ahead is a decoy. No matter how you approach it, the floor collapses and you slide into the room below, where spiked walls begin to encroach. Grabbing the small medi pack on the floor and getting out alive is a challenge, but it's possible.

When she lands, she should be positioned in the middle of the walkway with the medi pack and the skeletons.

Jump forward and press Action. Lara should land right on the medi pack and pick it up without hesitation. As soon as she stands up again, jump forward, run to the real switch and pull it to open the exit, which is directly behind her.

Immediately do a backflip with a mid-air twist (Jump + Back + Roll in rapid succession).

Lara should land facing the exit. Take a running jump, then keep running through the door.
