Hellblade 1 - Swamp trials...unnecessarily difficult

Decided to play through the first game before going after the sequel and got to the swamp trials into the maze. Had died only like 3 times up until this point but now the rot is almost all the way up my arm.

No matter what I seem to do the fire seems to catch me after the second rune where you run under the wall, I just can't get past this bit. Really can't be arsed starting over again because of a monster I can't see or avoid regardless of what I do. Would appreciate some help on this one, it's not the most challenging game but this is just unnecessary imo.
