Ending "Catacombs of Talion" without hurry

The fist time I've played TR2 I wasted very much time looking for this Dragon, and I had to consult Theresa web site. But finally I've found a way to end "Catacombs of Talion" without hurry... that is without the timed run plate-plate-door-spikes-door.

1. Walk on the left pressure plate to open the "enter door", enter the room (caution: spikes). 2. Climb the left wall and get the upper ledge. Why it's climbable? it's darker.

3. Get the Gold Dragon...This secret is ultimately lost if Lara gets the "exit door" (end level) that you see in this picture. 4. Drop down in the room with the spiked floor, and walk toward the "return door", to open it. Don't go throught this door! Just open it!

5. Climb again to the Gold Dragon ledge, and use a backflip-slide-action to drop into the previous room. 6. Walk on the right pressure plate to open the "exit door": now both doors are open, so jump the snowballs and go!
