If you followed the guide for the previous section, you will have triggered 9 of the 24 lava boulders so far. (Remember, one of the 25 boulders never falls.) Turn around and move to the top step. Advance onto the middle dark tile and immediately...
...side flip to the right (onto the southeast corner tile), then back to the left (onto the center tile again), to avoid 2 boulders (10-11/24) that drop and roll toward Lara. One rolls down to the entrance.
One lands in the southeast corner, where Lara was just standing.
Turn right and step onto the nearest light tile. Another boulder (12/24) drops and rolls to merge with the one in the southeast corner.
Move back onto the previous dark tile, turn to face the boulder between the switch alcoves, and advance onto the next light tile. Turn right, step onto the next dark tile then quickly hop back to avoid another boulder (13/24) that rolls toward the entrance.
Again turn to face the boulder between the switch alcoves. Step forward onto the next dark tile to trigger 3 more boulders (14-16/24). Two roll past Lara on either side. The third rolls along the left side of the checkerboard and merges with the other boulders in the southwest corner.
Turn right and run forward across the light-colored trigger tile onto the next decorated tile. Take care not to run on into the lava pool. Another boulder (17/24) drops and rolls toward the entrance.
Turn left, move onto the other decorated tile, then turn to face the boulder between the two switch alcoves. Run across the left corner of the nearest dark tile and stop on the next light tile.
This trips 2 more boulders (18-19/24) that roll across the decorated tiles behind Lara to merge with the other in the southeast corner.
Turn left, move onto the nearest dark tile, then turn right to face the stationary boulder in the lava pool ahead. (The switch alcoves are now on Lara's right.)
Step forward onto the next light tile, then quickly hop back to avoid 2 more boulders (20-21) that roll toward the entrance.
Now run forward and stop on the light tile just before the lava pool. Another boulder (22/24) drops and rolls behind Lara.
Almost done now. Turn right, step onto the next dark tile, then turn right again...
...so Lara is facing the other lava pool and the switch alcoves are on her left. Walk forward onto the next light tile and stop. Another boulder (23/24) drops directly ahead and rolls toward the entrance.
To trigger the last boulder (24/24) move onto the dark tile two ahead and one to the left (i.e., the one in line with the northeast switch alcove).
The boulder off to the right drops and rolls into the lava.
As you head back toward the entrance, check to make sure that all but one boulder has dropped. As frustrating as it is, that 25th boulder never moves. You won't unlock the "Roll, Action!" achievement/trophy until midway through the second Egypt level, Temple of the Cat, but these 24 are the only ones you'll need to worry about in this level.

DARK MODE: Even with brightness adjusted, dark images on a light background can be hard to see. May I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's web store.)
