Head to the southeast door after the battle. In the next hallway, loot the chest to the left, then continue downstairs. Wall-run to the first platform and then wall-run again and bounce on the walls until you reach the hand-hold at the end. Climb up and ignore the chest in the middle for now. Continue along the corridor and defeat two enemies inside. Walk until you find a pit with a deathgrip hoop. Use it to reach a hand-hold above. However, don't climb up yet but drop down instead.
You'll grab a hidden hand-hold below. Shimmy to the right and enter the corridor. When you see the deathgrip hoop at the end, don't use it; instead look up to your right to find another hidden deathgrip hoop. Use it and perform a vertical wall-climb to reach a secret chamber containing a Boatman Coin, a Stone of Resistance on the ceiling to the south and a unique weapon called Demonflame Renders.
Methinks this guide missed a stonebite of Power in the Lost Temple.
