Immediately press Look to get camera control back. Then roll and move to either side of the base of the long, golden ramp. As the guardian comes stomping down, get ready to run. When it reaches the bottom, jump past it onto the ramp and head for the top. Use running jumps to cover more distance faster.

When you reach the building at the top of the ramp, go around either side of the gold panel to get inside.

Here you'll find a large medi pack, grenades, and a switch.

If you want everything, you'll probably need to run into the room, grab one item, and run out the other side and back down the ramp. Let the guardian chase Lara down, then run back up for the next item. Take a third pass to flip the switch. Doing so re-opens the double doors to the right of the mask receptacle and extends a bridge across the pit in the room beyond those doors.

Pull the switch on the other side to retract the bridge. Depending on how fast you are, the guardian will either be trapped on the other side of the gap, or it will fall into the pit, as shown above.

Shoot it until it falls and the level ends.
