Temple of Xian - Rolling Blade Corridor and Room with Many Switches

In the last section, you returned to the ROOM WITH THE MECHANICAL WARRIORS and used the DRAGON SEAL to open the other door there.

Enter and follow the passage to a rolling blade.

Follow the blade down the hallway, ducking into the alcoves as needed.

...

The last alcove on the right...

...is actually a slide leading down to a room with shallow water on the floor. If you like, you can save on the way down.

When you hit the floor, the spiked ceiling descends, and you need to flip 3 switches to open the exit (i.e., the panel with the face to the left of the waterfall). There are also a number of decoy switches, but if you look carefully, these aren't realistic enough to trip you up.

Start by sliding into the room without jumping.

As soon as Lara stands up, take a running jump straight ahead to the first switch. Hold Action as you land...

...to immediately use the switch.

Roll...

...and run forward and left to the second switch.

Throw the switch, roll...

...and run/jump to the third switch on the opposite wall.

Pull it, roll...

...run to the small medipack (22) on the floor near one of the skeletons. Grab it, then run through the exit.

NOTE: You can do fancy acrobatics, like a backflip and midair roll after each switch. But even if you just use each switch, roll, and run to the next one, then to the medipack, then to the exit, you should have plenty of time.
