Gaming Time: 1 hour 15 minutes Finds: 3 secrets

Waterfalls

Run straight on till you reach the pedestal with the dagger. The platform right in front will tip down and Lara will drop. Grab the ledge to slow the fall. Let go to continue sliding. In the stone chute is a blade you have to jump over. Slide through the next stone chute onto the water slide.
Secret 1 (Golden Dragon): Jump and make a roll in mid-air to get Lara to turn around. Grab the ledge of the waterfall and shimmy left. Climb into the alcove. Collect the Golden Dragon.
Drop into the water. The current will take Lara down another waterfall. Swim towards the wooden platform and pull yourself up. Shoot the two golden catfish.

Roof of the Temple

Jump into the water and dive through the opening in the rocks. Dive towards the temple and get out of the water. Shoot the two tigers. On the left side - looking towards the temple - of the lake on the rocks you'll find some shotgun ammo. On the left side of the temple is a springboard which will take you up to the roof of the temple. Go around the roof to the other side. Activate the trigger there. Shoot the eagle. Jump back down. Dive back towards the wooden platform.

Room filled with Lava

Climb the ladder. Shoot the spiders in the passage. At the top turn around, jump back and grab the ledge. Climb down the ladder. Let go from the bottom end and grab the next ledge. Shimmy left. Pull yourself up and go towards the ladder on the left. Climb down. Let go from the lowest ledge and grab the one underneath.
Secret 2 (Silver Dragon):Go around the corner to the right. Hang from the ledge and shimmy sideways right. Collect the Silver Dragon in the alcove. Shimmy back to the left.
Go to the left. Shoot the spider. Make a standing jump to grab the next ladder. Climb up and on the higher level, use the next ladder to climb up further.

Spiked Traps

Follow the path into the chamber with the spiked traps. Climb up the ladder. When you reach the gap shimmy right. While holding on to the wall press the jump button, to get Lara to jump onto the slide behind her. Jump again to land on top of the wall. Carefully walk towards the middle. Run over the collapsing platforms. Wait on the last one till you drop onto a block in the lava. Collect the shotgun ammo. Make a running jump to get into the opening of the passage ahead. Lara will slide down. Before you reach the ledge you have to jump onto another sloped platform. And from there jump again and grab the ledge of the block in front. Pull up. Slide down the little sloped block on the right to get to the spot with the grenades. Collect them and climb up the block on the right. Activate the trigger up there. (This will open the main gate of the temple.) Climb into the alcove on the left. Jump into the water.

In the Temple

Again dive towards the temple. Enter through the open main gate. Go around the pillar. In the main chamber you'll meet some stone knights. They'll use their swords if Lara gets to close. Collect the grenades behind the last one on the right. Enter the stone passage and climb up. Lara will now come to another lava filled room. Make a running jump to get onto the first brown slide. Jump shortly before you've reached the end to get onto the next slide. Repeat this three times till you can grab the ledge of the next block. (On the smaller slides there's no need to let go of the jump button.) Pull yourself up and climb further up. At the top turn to the left and make a running jump. Grab the ledge of the platform under the exit. Pull yourself up and continue climbing.

Spiked Walls and Boulders

In the following passage the floor will collapse. Drop down there, you'll end up in a room with spiked walls. Run towards the lever and use it. (If you're very quick you can pick up the Medi Pack on your way.) Make a roll and sprint through the door. Follow the passage. As soon as you step into the passage with the wooden walls a boulder will be triggered. Quickly jump back and out of the way to the right. Now run up the hill into the alcove. Turn around and jump onto the wooden boxes to the right. Another boulder will be triggered behind you. Go onto the stone walkway and quickly drop down into the passage as another boulder will be rolling past. Climb back up again and step onto the ladder. Climb up.

Under the Roof

Also climb the next ladder. Light a flare at the top. Jump down into the dark chamber. Possibly spread some flares in the room. Use the lever in one of the corners. Turn around quickly and shoot the tiger coming from behind. Climb into the alcove on the left of the lever. Don't use the ladder. Turn around, jump back and grab the ledge. Let go. Down in the next chamber you might want to use another flare. In the next room are two rolling blades which will make it difficult to get to the exit. Walk forward till you're very close. As soon as they are gone run past. Lara will now enter a chamber underneath the temples roof. (If you drop down by accident, return into the stone passage. The gate on the right is now open. Enter and climb up again.) Shoot the two eagles. Jump towards the switch on the red wall. Use it. Turn around quickly. While running jump over the wooden beams and exit through the open door at the other end.
