When you land, veer right to avoid the Yaaxil converging from the left. Run forward through the rough wooden doorway, keeping ahead of the pursuing enemies, and avoiding the detonating green orbs on your left...

...then right. Scramble up the wall onto the ledge above.

Lara scrambles onto the ledge and regains her footing. A checkpoint registers here.

NOTE: If Lara dies before this checkpoint, the game reloads near the temple exit with Lara facing the wrong way. She'll say, "They must think I destroyed it," meaning the Box. Don't bother fighting the Yaaxil who surround her. Just turn around and start running, as described in the section above.

Continue up a short flight of steps...

...to an area with a circular, carved stone floor. Then continue around to the left.

Run up the wooden ramp and jump across another gap onto another wooden walkway. Turn left and continue along the walkway...

All the while the Yaaxil shoot arrows at Lara and explode green orbs along her path. You can heal as you go, but as long as you keep moving and don't fall through the gaps, Lara should be OK.

Where the wooden walkway ends, follow the stone ledge up and around to the left.

At the top, the path splits. Two enemies block the short path to the left, so continue forward up the slope.
