Finally got past the Petra chase down the cavern hall, here is the save game right after it.

Note to people playing the pc version, if you are using a gamepad try the keyboard to run down the hall, it is so much more eaiser, after failing countless times running down the hall with the gamepad, I decided to try the keyboard...got it on the first try!
