If you're talking about where you slide down and jump onto the platform where our friend Tony is, it's just a matter of using the shotgun or pistols as you do a series of side-to-side jumps as you shoot. Usually only 6 or 7 shotgun blasts will do the trick.

It's a bit more complicated than that DaleR - this is the Temple of Puna, not the Caves of Kaliya. The side to side jumping is right, but you've got to watch out for is that from time to time the boss conjures up one of those nasty green poison-breathing dragons. (The good news is that the boss leaves you alone while the little bugger does his stuff.) The trick is not to get shoved off the platform (fatal fall) and then once you've killed the little bugger, to regain the right orientation to resume the side to side jumping & plugging away at the boss. Just remember to save the game before sliding down for the confrontation & don't expect to get it first time. Use the Desert Eagle if you feel like it, but as long as you can move quickly enough, the pistols will do the job in the end.
