First, stand on either side of the doorway facing the burner and one of the swinging spiked hemispheres beyond it. Approach the flame, which will then go out. Stand near the tile with the burner but not on it, wait for the spiked ball to swing toward you and then run forward.

As you run, the spikes will swing away so you can run off the edge into the shallow pit below without getting hit. The burner will then re-ignite behind you, but you won't need to return that way.

Turn around again to face the rolling blade and sidestep to the left or right side of the ledge. When the rolling blade moves off to the left, jump forward to the ledge in front of the next burner, which will then go out.

Wait just long enough for the swinging spiked ball directly in front of you to swing toward you. Then run across the burner and off the edge beyond it. As you run, the spikes should swing away so Lara doesn't get hit.

Continue underneath as far as you can go. Then climb out of the pit on the right. Ahead is a second rolling blade with a doorway just beyond it.

Wait for the blade to roll back the way it came. As soon as it passes, run to the end of the hallway and into the doorway on the left. Stop there so you don't run into the clamping doors ahead.

Repeat for the second set of doors. Just beyond them, pick up SECRET #1, the Jade Dragon. Then return past the clamping doors and rolling blade to the room at the other end of the hallway on the left.
