Temple of Xian - Wooden Bridge with Rolling Blade

In the last section, you (maybe) reached the unreachable large medi pack then returned to the room with the rolling blade that hasn't rolled yet. Step out onto the long wooden bridge.

This time, run across ahead of the blade and move to the left side of the ledge to get out of its way.

Press the button...

...to open the doors at the top of the STEEP SLOPE WITH SPRINGBOARDS back inside the SECOND TEMPLE.

Roll and kill another bird (36) that flies in from the other end of the bridge.

Now return across the bridge to the room with the skeleton. There are several ways to do this: You can follow the blade as it rolls away...

...

...taking a running jump or two to go faster.

...then veer left into the room at the end of the bridge before the blade has time to reverse. (Continue below.)

- OR -

Instead, stand on the ledge near the button, angled toward the middle of the bridge. Wait for the blade to emerge from the doorway moving toward you. Just as rolls out onto the bridge, hop back once.

Then immediately take a running jump past the oncoming blade onto the middle of the bridge.

Continue running into the room ahead and veer left to get out of the blade's way.

NOTE: If you can't abide the rolling blade on the bridge, or if you fall in the water and don't have a convenient save, follow the alternate route described in the main walkthrough.

Now, go through the room with the skeleton and hop down onto the ledge above the rolling blade.

Carefully run off the ledges as the blade moves away, or jump over it to land on the floor below. Move out onto the ledge overlooking the room where you killed that last tiger.
