When you enter the cave with the black fronds, you must then choose whether to follow the LEFT CHANNEL or RIGHT CHANNEL downstream. The left channel is covered in part 1. This page covers the right channel.

When you enter the tunnel beyond the split, a flock of bats flutters past. They're harmless, so just stay on course.

Cross the first red tripwire without hesitation. As soon as you pass over it, a row of spikes pops up. Don't back paddle; that will just keep Lara in the danger zone longer.

...which also triggers some spikes. Again, just move through them as quickly as you can and use a medi pack if necessary.

...and try to steer between the next 2 clusters of spikes. Stay near the far (left) wall as you go around the third cluster of spikes just beyond the first two.
