A slightly easier way is to do a running jump of the platform, grab the first hook and wall run to the second hoop then wall run to the crevice all can be done in one go,
Thank goodness for this video! After I found this it took be about another 30 mins to finally get to the top of this section, it was ALMOST worth it for the celebration that ensued when I finally got to that last checkpoint. Personally, I found the bit with the rotating blades and the grapple in Egypt way more annoying, I was yelling and bashing the keyboard during that.
This particular part is the most..AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!..INSANE! I don't know how many times i've done this..lost my count on 56..3 times i've been installing that game on, cause it just makes me sick! But yet one time i managed to grab it..but i forgot how to climb up the rope, so i "accidently" let myself go.. -.- But i'll keep tryin' :D
I stopped playing this shit 8/1/10 cause I got stuck on Sanctuary of Scion's flooded rooms. This game is too fucking frustrating and long. I started yesterday and resumed today. I'm finished with this retarded Tomb Raider shit and the agitatingly fucking stupid games. Ugh!
I finished this game two years ago and don't remember having problems with this part...but now I'm playing the game again and can't pass this shit. Thanks.
Thanks for showing this video.. This really helped me a lot.. The procedure is quite tricky but it really gets the job done!! A tip for those PC players.. HOLD the jump button when you jump for the 1st ring so that Lara can jump the highest.. and when you slide and jump for the 2nd ring, immediately press GRAPPLE and left key.. the momentum should be enough for the jump toward the crevice without trying for a second wall run attempt.. Goodluck!!
i played this game on PC, but its so hard 2 do that part bcuz the camera angle keeps messin' it up. its so frustratin..i kept tryin like a million times but i jus gave up.

I really hate this level, i nearly crash my keyboard because of this fucking level, i understand a tomb raider series must have some mind-bending puzzles and some defying level but not like this, i hate to do that but i had to cheat using 'save game' its level like this who put off people playing a good game. it must be entertaining NOT ridiculously frustrating.
Three hours of cursing the devs to hell (and not back; they could damn well stay there) I finally clocked it with your method. Even then... two of those hours were with said method. But the camera cuts on the poles meant I didn't have momentum at all, in a full 60 minutes, and I got much further with this and stuck with it. Never saved a game as fast as I did when I got through! I couldn't quite believe it was happening, I kept waiting for Lara to fall down and die again...
How does this section annoy me? Let me count the ways:
1 - The save point should be AFTER the mutants
2 - When trying to aim for the mutants, Lara likes to fire away at the wall
3 - When Lara gets hit with fireballs, she likes to take her sweet ass time getting back up
4 - When Lara gets knocked her off the platform, she gives you false hope by grabbing the ledge - you'll either get hit with another fireball or drop off on your own
OMG I WANT TO CRY! I've been stuck on this forever. The 2nd hardest thing in this game were those stone beasts that came to life. that and this have been the most annoying things ever in this game thus far. i want to just stop playing.
yes, because of this part of the game, I think I am going to quit. I can't do the poles, can't do the jump, the mutants are awful and lara likes to shoot everything but them. Sometimes the people who design parts of the games get too carried away. Especially with these stupid wall runs, they just don't work. and underworld with the stupid chimney jumps.
this was so much easier i kept trying those darn poles and it was messing me up i never had enough time can someone please tell me just how many tomb raiders there are for the xbox 360 i have played ledgens and underworld just now found this anniversary is there anymore please let me know if there are i love this game
The camera is the hardest enemy in the game to defeat, and no more so than when fighting these 2 mutants.... or doing a wall run, or... grrr..... it's criminally bad.
@shiftleswhenidle Nah, Lara's the hardest enemy to defeat. She only jumps a reasonable distance when she feels like it, and she disobeys every bloody command you give her.
@MikeZ778 Much harder. I think, unlineal levels are much harder that lineal. After all, in TR1 you didn't know what to do, but in TRA everything was quite clear for me. I don't know 'bout others.
Yes youre right about that, but one of the things i think it is much harder in TRA than in TR1, TR2, TR3,.....is the moves Lara must do in about all the game, as shown in the video above. In TR1 for example in some levels there where spikes but in TRA in some levels there are some sort of traps that the only way to pass them is to do some acrobatic moves and long jumps and stuff, so yeah... TR1 is fun and "easy" but TRA is just to much frustrating...
And then I went back. The checkpoint at the very bottom of the ledges registers again - but climbing up the ledges again doesn't register new checkpoints. So, if you're stuck on the third one, you'll have to jump up the first and second ledges AGAIN. This is the penalty for not having to fight the third pair of mutants again (wouldn't have to fight the 1st and 2nd anyway). Obviously I used the third ledge's checkpoint after clearing it (didn't take long to get out of the room after that).
Thanks for this short cut. I didn't need to shorten the rope on the first jump, though. Instead I had to shorten it on the second jump to grab the crevice on the pillar.
A lot of people seem to have a problem with making the first jump to catch the ring. To make the first jump press and hold jump for longer than usual. You must be able to see the blue ring before you throw the grapple. If you can't see it then try jumping from a different angle or try changing the camera angle.
I decided to try and take the intended route, which works slightly better. I made it onto the second metal ring but I didn't have enough momentum to reach the handhold there, so I ran back and forth again, and just when I was about to jump to the handhold it dropped me. This game is pissing me off D=
am still trying to pass this place, still didnt pass though, makes me too angry and hate lara too much, they most awful thing is the time limit , its hard enough without it
Don't usually comment on things like this, but I want people to know that if they're using a PC, it's MUCH simpler to use the intended route (i.e. with the swinging poles). The camera gets very confused with the slide between grapples when using the method shown here. I have just spent an hour trying to do this. Succeeded on my third attempt using the designed route. Think I've reduced my life expectancy by ten years.
This part is freaking ridiculous. My game glitches out here, too, with Lara preferring to stand on the corner of the broken column instead of sliding down it. I like the rest of the game, but this part is pissing me off.
I'm trying to get through this part right now. It is indeed stupid hard. I would have given up on the game if it weren't for helps found on the 'net. Maybe they should package a ball-peen hammer with the game so that you can bash your head in to alleviate the frustration of these stupid hard sequences. These tough spots really ruin the flow of the story.
The dodgy controls real add to the difficulty. I press right to dodge a fireball and she vaults left and off the platform into the lava. Maybe I have a ball-peen hammer around here somewhere. :)
This part of the game was just brutal, it took me many many hours to pass, and I've played pretty much every TR game! Kind of agree with the camera, it just moved all over the place while using the grapple, still loved the game though.
THIS GAME IS WAS SSSSSSOOO BLOODY HARN IT WAS STUPED. The graphics was geat but the original was way better, that was hard but the new ones are to complecated.
thats what I was saying..how the hell are you supposed to do this with this kind of controller with a joystick that is sensitive as it is..totally discouraged me from playing until I came across this...so I will try it and see how it goes..seriously..I was about to just pack it in and not even finish it...designers need to keep this stuff in mind
WOW seriously..what the hell would i have done without you!! You helped me out tons!! I'm soo close to the end so I was hoping i would'nt have to give up! Thanks a bunch!! =)
I've actually gotten the designed route to work twice just now; you have to make sure you can move directly from each pole to the next without stopping. Of course, once you get your shortcut method down, that's a lot easier than the designed way.
Cool video, but after trying maybe 20 times, I gave up. It gives me (i counted) 9 seconds to do this part. by the time i get to the second ring i have 1 second left.
I've been playing with Lara for 12 years. I've played every game in the series and the extras on a PC with a keyboard. Lara and I have always had a love/hate relationship especially with the controls. Until this game they were never as horrendous. This game is a bi*ch using a keyboard n' that jump is a pain in the butt. The checkpoint system sucks and is only implemented universally because all in all the game would be easier then Tomb Raider 1 if camera and controls were friends. Will try this.
I couldn't for the life of me see where I was supposed to be heading in the first place! And how many times I did that damn first jump to the sliding ledge & pole!! I'm very grateful to Stella for adding this tip of yours to her w/thru. Stupid to make this game so damn hard. Love it but it's a love/hate rel/ship. Thanks again! I'm off to try this now :-)
i have to admit that it wasn't difficult at all... i passed it in my first try unlike you guys ... but then the flying beast came and knocked me down to the lava F..k ...fortunately there was a checkpoint
I wonder why did they do that time trial thing, when the levels are so complicated. In some levels you have to try millions times before you find the best way to get through in time. That is so mean(not talking about beating the boses in time, duh!)
you are my savior. seriously. that level took me nine months because of that dumb jump. xD now i'm wondering why i never thought of that, i usually can think of that kind of thing.
A great idea, I also tried this a couple of times:) Still, as the game checkpoints after each jumping sequence, it's not that hard the traditional way:)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I would beat the fucking face of the people who designed and approved this piece of shit jump sequence. Even with the cheat you can barely make it! Camera angles fuck you up constantly. Fucking morons. I'm glad I stole your game you don't deserve any money.
The best part is when I passed this stage. So f***ing hard. I almost slam my laptop and I kept cursing when I didn't passed this stage. I tried all TR games (except TRU) & I think TR The Last Revelation is one of the hardest among all
What made Tomb Raider Anniversary such an un-fun, frustrating mess is that the camera and controls are never as responsive as they look in this clip. The game wants you to be incredibly precise, but the camera _regularly_ switches angles without warning in the middle of do-or-die jumps. I really enjoyed TR: Legend, but if TR: Underworld is more like Anniversary (impossibly precise while camera and controls work against you constantly) Underworld will be the last TR game I ever buy.
The camera is still wonky in TRU, even more than in Anniversary. But they nerfed the difficulty significantly. There are very few time critical passages, and they are nowhere near the difficulty showed in this TRA clip.
But its still a great game, looks awesome and playes fluently for the most of it. If you're really into TR, its still worth a buy, but if youre really sensible with the camera stuff chances are you get frustrated pretty quickly.
Thanks. I picked up Tomb Raider Underworld and I'm liking it quite a bit so far. As you say, they nerfed the do-or-die jumping enough that you don't have to suffer if the camera and controls won't co-operate fully(and, as you say, they still don't on a regular basis).
All in all, I'm finding TRU more fun (like Legend was) which is why I play games. I may never get past the point in Anniversary shown above, but thanks to TRU, I may no longer care.
Ok thats it I'm not playing this anymore..The worst enemy in here is the camara. I jump to a place, sudenlly the camara turns and I end up in another location direct to death.
I'm not quite at this point yet, but I don't fancy trying it, this game has been annoying (annoyingly difficult, s'pose would be dissapointed if it was piss easy) but still damn annoying and this bit looks like one, agggh! I have bin trying to complete it now for 18 months. Wanna get it done for the next instalment next month
This part is so annoying!! It took me forever!! Haha I honestly think that those stupid flying mutants on the next level up were like "What the hell is taking her so long to get here!!?"
It's actually pretty easy to do it the way they've meant to do it. I guess this "alternate route" is about the same difficulty as the normal one, provided that you know how to do the normal one.
For those who simply cannot complete this, tombraiders*net/stella is not only the best TR Strategy and Walkthru site i've ever found, but also has PC savegame files available for download
readin through the comments i thought this was gonna be hard as hell but you know what....it is easy actually, you just gotta like jump where he jumps but dont tap the jump button like keep it held down then as soon as you see the symbol GRAPPLE!, i know for the people who havent/cant do this that my comment would be hated at but trust me its possible, 4 tries now on the other ledge, dont try too hard cos thats when you will make the most mistakes n get yourself all worked up
i gave up and installed it at this point after trying for like 40 times. if the mutants didnt blast me off the damn platform (thanks to the ridiculous camera movement) my grapple wouldnt fire in time and i'd burn
I truly do think this part is a bucket of****!! This has caused family uproar, with son and husband arguing over it! I give up I nearly smashed the PsP!!!
I made it to the 2 flying bat creatures which is around the 3rd retracting floor. after that I can't even see where to jump to..... wish this was a little slower to watch
I haven't played this game for months because of this level. I made it to the second ledge only once to be knocked off of it lol. The mistake they made was not having a 'save game' there. I'll try it again a couple times before putting it away for a few more months lol.
...and I thought that dude at the end of Gears Of War was annoying. Nothing compared to the stupid F*&%K that destryed this whole game with this annoying f*%#@!ng sequence... Im putting it away now, for good. Thanks a lot you idiots... >:(
yeah, this part sucks. I was hooked 'till i reached this part, tried it for i don't know how many hours, and gave it up... Now I have'nt played my 360 in months, and all because of this crap. Mistake to design it like this, It's just annoying, and not challenging in the right way... Curses to the designer!
I did the biggest dance of joy when I finally made it to the next platform after days of attempting this series of jumps and swigns the conventional way.
Up to this point I've really enjoyed the game. Each level was challenging yet enjoyable but this... well whoever designed this level is probably laughing at us!
I've been trying to complete this little bit for over 3 hours now and still nothing. I'm calling it a night cos I'm afraid that if I carry on I won't have any hair left in the morning!
This is the third time I'm playing TRA, and the game is really challenging. They were not as hell going to make it easy, were they? Try the original Tomb Raider for comparison.
What an idiot in Crystal Dynamics designed this shit??? Moron!!! A game should be relaxing, not making you sit on your ass long hours trying to do just this one damn jump! IDIOTS! BASTARDS! Playing Anniversary till this very moment I liked the game very much. But this shit ruined everything and now I can say that this TR part is the worst piece of shit that dumb-headed morons from Crystal Dynamics could ever made.
I have to say I'm impressed to see so many people having a hard time doing this, considering I'm probably the worst Tomb Raider player around, and even I could do this in my 6th or 7th attempt, going the traditional way, jumping from pole to pole. To me, jumping around the pillars in the end of Egypt before picking up the 3rd part of the Scion way harder than this.
I would have given up if I hadn't found your vid. After trying for an hour I thought it wasn't possible to finish this effing part.
Jump from the very edge of the platform and don't throw the grapple too early. I pressed the interaction button as often as I could, just to make sure she would hold on to stuff.
I agree, especially with the camera angles changing, that causes your direction keys to change to, and that system is flawed. the physics in this game are horrible when it comes to parts like these. this level is definitely the biggest piece of shit. it is impossibly hard, even for expert gamers. you even have to fight those mutants every time. this level was made with the intention of pissing you off, no doubt about it. some designer is sitting and laughing thinking they are cool.
for those who still have a hard time doing this, even after watching the video, here is how to do it step by step. This is PART 1 because i cant post more than 500 characters.
First you should assign the Grapple to the Right Mouse Button (RMB) because it is easier to use than the Q button.
Then: Shoot the button to release the flyers and kill them. Shoot the button again to reset the timer. Holster weapons (G). Jump and grab the first ring(throw the grapple at the highest point of her jump)
PART 2: Wait for Lara to stop moving and quickly move up the grapple line to where you see in the movie. Swing to the right then swing to the left. At the highest point PRESS RMB TO RELEASE the grapple then press and hold LEFT and JUMP buttons to make it to the slope. Before the end of the slope, press and hold JUMP button. Throw the grapple to attach to the second ring (on my computer, Lara throws the grapple on her own, without me touching any button, I have no idea why, she just does it)
PART 3: Then swing all the way to the right and all the way to the left to gain enough momentum. At the highest point PRESS RMB to RELEASE the grapple and quickly press and hold LEFT and JUMP buttons and you should grab the crevice.
If you do it right you should make it in less than 20 tries. I did it in 2 hours.
Releasing the grapple is extremely important. You will easily grab that ledge if you release first. Good luck!
God damnit! I can't do it either way... she will NOT grapple that fucking ring no matter what I try. She's done it once but then she wouldn't respond to my toggle so she died anyways...
There is a website dedicated to Tomb Raider Anniversary will all sorts of information and download able files. However, I cannot seem to post a message that contains the URL here.
About the camera angle, there is a button on ps2, i think l2, that centers the camera behind lara, instead of using the right analog stick. it's quicker to use the button than the stick.this really is the worst part of the game. thanx for the video, i'll try it later,too tired and angry
Thanks for that! had been a bit stuck trying to do the poles etc but this worked a treat!!But I think it had a bit more to do with luck than any skill on my part lol
This is why I never finished Anniversary..

6 - The timer is just long enough to give you false hope, but too short to complete the jumps - you'll fall into the lava over and over.
7 - When she grabs the poles, she'll swing when you want her to stop and change direction, and she'll stop when you want her to swing

I just did this, playing on the PC with a 360 control pad.
I'm sure it took me more than 10 tries but went smoothly when I finally did it (I must've gotten the timing EXACTLY right):
- Jumped from the corner of the ledge to the first ring
- Wall ran and wall jumped outwards to the next ring
- Wall ran and jumped off
Didn't have to adjust the line once!
Also, after clearing the first two ledges I went back to the start to get a checkpoint w/out fighting the mutants again (more)
EdOscuro 2 years ago
And then I went back. The checkpoint at the very bottom of the ledges registers again - but climbing up the ledges again doesn't register new checkpoints. So, if you're stuck on the third one, you'll have to jump up the first and second ledges AGAIN. This is the penalty for not having to fight the third pair of mutants again (wouldn't have to fight the 1st and 2nd anyway). Obviously I used the third ledge's checkpoint after clearing it (didn't take long to get out of the room after that).

Thanks for this short cut. I didn't need to shorten the rope on the first jump, though. Instead I had to shorten it on the second jump to grab the crevice on the pillar.
A lot of people seem to have a problem with making the first jump to catch the ring. To make the first jump press and hold jump for longer than usual. You must be able to see the blue ring before you throw the grapple. If you can't see it then try jumping from a different angle or try changing the camera angle.

I decided to try and take the intended route, which works slightly better. I made it onto the second metal ring but I didn't have enough momentum to reach the handhold there, so I ran back and forth again, and just when I was about to jump to the handhold it dropped me. This game is pissing me off D=

am still trying to pass this place, still didnt pass though, makes me too angry and hate lara too much, they most awful thing is the time limit , its hard enough without it
waleedffx 2 years ago
Don't usually comment on things like this, but I want people to know that if they're using a PC, it's MUCH simpler to use the intended route (i.e. with the swinging poles). The camera gets very confused with the slide between grapples when using the method shown here. I have just spent an hour trying to do this. Succeeded on my third attempt using the designed route. Think I've reduced my life expectancy by ten years.

This part is freaking ridiculous. My game glitches out here, too, with Lara preferring to stand on the corner of the broken column instead of sliding down it. I like the rest of the game, but this part is pissing me off.

I'm trying to get through this part right now. It is indeed stupid hard. I would have given up on the game if it weren't for helps found on the 'net. Maybe they should package a ball-peen hammer with the game so that you can bash your head in to alleviate the frustration of these stupid hard sequences. These tough spots really ruin the flow of the story.

The dodgy controls real add to the difficulty. I press right to dodge a fireball and she vaults left and off the platform into the lava. Maybe I have a ball-peen hammer around here somewhere. :)

This part of the game was just brutal, it took me many many hours to pass, and I've played pretty much every TR game! Kind of agree with the camera, it just moved all over the place while using the grapple, still loved the game though.

I've actually gotten the designed route to work twice just now; you have to make sure you can move directly from each pole to the next without stopping. Of course, once you get your shortcut method down, that's a lot easier than the designed way.

Cool video, but after trying maybe 20 times, I gave up. It gives me (i counted) 9 seconds to do this part. by the time i get to the second ring i have 1 second left.

I have tried this the traditional way 100 times and smashed my keyboard atleast 20. It's ridiculous. Hopefully this shortcut helps.
In a walkthrough it says I have 18 seconds to get to a safe ledge. On my pc, it's about 10. If that.

I've been playing with Lara for 12 years. I've played every game in the series and the extras on a PC with a keyboard. Lara and I have always had a love/hate relationship especially with the controls. Until this game they were never as horrendous. This game is a bi*ch using a keyboard n' that jump is a pain in the butt. The checkpoint system sucks and is only implemented universally because all in all the game would be easier then Tomb Raider 1 if camera and controls were friends. Will try this.

What made Tomb Raider Anniversary such an un-fun, frustrating mess is that the camera and controls are never as responsive as they look in this clip. The game wants you to be incredibly precise, but the camera _regularly_ switches angles without warning in the middle of do-or-die jumps. I really enjoyed TR: Legend, but if TR: Underworld is more like Anniversary (impossibly precise while camera and controls work against you constantly) Underworld will be the last TR game I ever buy.
drsedula 3 years ago
The camera is still wonky in TRU, even more than in Anniversary. But they nerfed the difficulty significantly. There are very few time critical passages, and they are nowhere near the difficulty showed in this TRA clip.
But its still a great game, looks awesome and playes fluently for the most of it. If you're really into TR, its still worth a buy, but if youre really sensible with the camera stuff chances are you get frustrated pretty quickly.
Anyway, i liked it. Just got through.
BaVoBa 3 years ago
Thanks. I picked up Tomb Raider Underworld and I'm liking it quite a bit so far. As you say, they nerfed the do-or-die jumping enough that you don't have to suffer if the camera and controls won't co-operate fully(and, as you say, they still don't on a regular basis).
All in all, I'm finding TRU more fun (like Legend was) which is why I play games. I may never get past the point in Anniversary shown above, but thanks to TRU, I may no longer care.
drsedula 3 years ago
Have fun with TRU. I liked it better than TRA, but i finally got through that also. ;)

It's actually pretty easy to do it the way they've meant to do it. I guess this "alternate route" is about the same difficulty as the normal one, provided that you know how to do the normal one.

I have to say I'm impressed to see so many people having a hard time doing this, considering I'm probably the worst Tomb Raider player around, and even I could do this in my 6th or 7th attempt, going the traditional way, jumping from pole to pole. To me, jumping around the pillars in the end of Egypt before picking up the 3rd part of the Scion way harder than this.

I agree, especially with the camera angles changing, that causes your direction keys to change to, and that system is flawed. the physics in this game are horrible when it comes to parts like these. this level is definitely the biggest piece of shit. it is impossibly hard, even for expert gamers. you even have to fight those mutants every time. this level was made with the intention of pissing you off, no doubt about it. some designer is sitting and laughing thinking they are cool.
peoplez129 3 years ago 5
for those who still have a hard time doing this, even after watching the video, here is how to do it step by step. This is PART 1 because i cant post more than 500 characters.
First you should assign the Grapple to the Right Mouse Button (RMB) because it is easier to use than the Q button.
Then: Shoot the button to release the flyers and kill them. Shoot the button again to reset the timer. Holster weapons (G). Jump and grab the first ring(throw the grapple at the highest point of her jump)
darkstud2 4 years ago
PART 2: Wait for Lara to stop moving and quickly move up the grapple line to where you see in the movie. Swing to the right then swing to the left. At the highest point PRESS RMB TO RELEASE the grapple then press and hold LEFT and JUMP buttons to make it to the slope. Before the end of the slope, press and hold JUMP button. Throw the grapple to attach to the second ring (on my computer, Lara throws the grapple on her own, without me touching any button, I have no idea why, she just does it)
darkstud2 4 years ago
PART 3: Then swing all the way to the right and all the way to the left to gain enough momentum. At the highest point PRESS RMB to RELEASE the grapple and quickly press and hold LEFT and JUMP buttons and you should grab the crevice.
If you do it right you should make it in less than 20 tries. I did it in 2 hours.
Releasing the grapple is extremely important. You will easily grab that ledge if you release first. Good luck!
