Start by making your way around to the left corner of the room. Several priests of Sobek appear on the upper ledge.

As in previous levels, when you see a white circle on the floor, move out of the way to avoid being struck by lightning.

If you want to work on the crocodile-bombing challenge, you may need to run up and down the stairs a few times to draw the crocs closer.

Once they've jumped down onto the walkway with the pressure pad, use the same strategy you did earlier: Plant a remote bomb so the edge of the blast radius overlaps where one of the crocodiles is standing, as shown above.

Then detonate to blast the croc off the edge. Again, the exact positioning varies with your bomb damage and radius, so you may need to experiment a little. Fortunately these guys are fairly tough and can withstand a few attempts before exploding into crocodile nuggets.

Once the coast is clear, run around to the left and jump across the gap in the walkway to reach the time bomb. If you're attempting the time-bomb challenge, remember not to touch the bomb.

Drop a remote bomb on the upper left side of the time bomb and move out of the way. (Again, your bomb may need to be positioned slightly differently than mine, shown here, depending on how your equipped items modify the bomb damage and radius.)

Raise the Staff and detonate your bomb to fling the time bomb across the gap toward the pressure pad.

It's unlikely your bomb will land directly on the pad, but as long as it makes it across the gap and lands somewhere beyond the flame vents, it should be OK. Run/jump back around the walkway.

Use one or more remote bombs to maneuver the time bomb onto the pressure pad. (Of course, if you don't care about the time-bomb challenge, you can just grab the bomb and roll it onto the pad.)

When the time bomb is positioned squarely on the pad, a series of wooden ledges rises up in the gap in the middle of the walkway, and several of the flame vents go out. Continue holding the Staff aloft to keep the time bomb from exploding as you return to the upper left corner of the walkway. Then jump across the wooden ledges...

...and climb onto the upper ledge. At this point, you can lower the Staff and let the time bomb explode. Move around behind the low wall to claim the CLUSTER BOMB LAUNCHER and step on the second pressure pad to permanently deactivate the flame vents.
