Tomb Raider Anniversary Damocles Room Solution

[Biohazardableful]

yea thx...jump is very easy:)

[MadridNFRoses]

Wow man! never find the fucking white pillar there! hours triying to clim the columns..... xd!

[DirtyKameSennin]

This game is pretty hard, but that's the only Tomb Raider game I could finish with Legend and Underworld. Underworld wasn't that hard just freakin full of bugs. The earlier games are simpy way to hard for me.

[IvyInsanity]

i cant ç_ç someone helps me

[Bieeanda]

fiddlebender88 said exactly what I was thinking. This area is a lot of trial and error, and undocumented 'features' like this just make it even more frustrating.

I'm just glad that there are folks like you uploading walkthrough videos, otherwise I'd be totally flummoxed.

[fiddlebender88]

Also, the game never tells you how to execute this kind of a jump, not even in Croft Manor.

[fiddlebender88]

This greek god puzzle points out the obvious flaws in this game. Don't get me wrong, I like this game a lot it's just like the old ones. It just happens to have annoying camera angles at times and Lara sometimes jumps but doesn't reach out to grab onto the ledge. It's incredibly frustrating especially in this level. Also, one time when climbing the walls I mysteriously fell through map into infinity and the only way to recover was to go back to main menu and load the last checkpoint.

[Punkrockfan001]

doesnt matter.

figured it out myself

[Punkrockfan001]

thumbed down.

you didnt show how you got up there from the floor

[SuperMasha12345]

thanks a lot of!!! =)

[patnchrisnmary]

I am so stuck on this level! Thank you!

[GibsoNSlasheR]

the jump works .. just jump when shes almost on her way back..

[szarancza86]

dzięki pomogło mi to przejść dalej

[ljolik1982]

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaank u very soooooo much!!!!at the end i finish with this prblem!!

[RobertArsenalFan]

how did you do a backwards jump WHILE moving?

[Minimus57]

Move the control button in the appropriate direction, backwards and jump.

[IvyInsanity]

@Minimus57 so left direction??

[Minimus57]

@IvyInsanity In this instance, yes.

[IvyInsanity]

@Minimus57 ok i tried and i won :P now i fall from the pillars xD

[RobertArsenalFan]

this is tha Hardest god room! i god as far as the grapple part in the room and deactivated few of the worst spikes.

[Juulliiaah]

waaah i can't the jump at 0:25 -.-

[Reyodor]

me neither :(((

[ememem3]

i cant do the grapple jump, im so fustrated :(

[godofwar2k6]

One of the worst games ever made. Horrible camera, abysmal controls, and also sorts of graphical and technical glitches. The story blows too. The game is friggin hard and poorly paced. It took me 2 hours to beat the 3rd level but only 10 minutes to beat the 4th. If it weren't for Lara's tits there never would've been a second tomb raider game. Prince of Persia this is not.

[JeremyRodriguez06]

you just really really suck at it then

[godofwar2k6]

Thanks, asshole.

[JeremyRodriguez06]

Anytime

[SketchyReplica]

0:25 that jump is a pain in the ass , but seeing this now I know its possible

[SketchyReplica]

Ive done it now, I think the trick is to jump on the first swing over , not keep swinging back and forth. thnx for uploading the vid

[poprage]

thanks for both the video and your comment

its true, just jump at the 1st swing =]

[bubbleheadification]

@poprage i love this thanks

[xgatinhax]

this jump is to 90 (90) IMPOSSIBLE !!!!! I tried it longer than 1 hour !! fuck -.-

[NeoDoRant]

It isn't. I tried also long time, you have to wait a little bit, then, when you begin to swing back, you have to jump. Should work.

Cheers

[k24skin]

@NeoDoRant , I just got this game used about a week ago and have spent alot of time trying to get this sideways grapple jump to work with no luck, but I figured that I couldn't have been the only one out there dealing with this and turned to my fellow YouTubers for some tips, thanks for posting this vid, it should save me at least 1 headache from this game.

[Xotradutus]

@NeoDoRant It's only difficult to to if you don't know you have to wait 'till Lara swings back. I did it with success and I'm now out of the damm Damocles room (thanks God!).

[lluissmiguel]

thanks i forgot that she can fix in pilars ;)

[Idioverse]

Having to retrace your route over and over just to perfect one jump isn't called 'practice', it's called bad level design.

My tip is go into the next room and practice the jump on the wall there. You need to jump on the upswing. It can be done, but it's ludicrously hit and miss. Some Level Designer really messed this game up.

[SynthiaDemonica]

I adore this game.

This room is a definite challenge, I like that. Yeah, you risk getting killed over and over and over but it's called practice xD

[KadajxSephiroth]

lol, thats really easy!

i haven't seen that first column

u used;;; kkk ty very much

[FlashFizz]

What's worse is that there is a bug (at least on the XB360) in which a new checkpoint may arise along the edge by the large medi-pack. If you save your game at this point, you reappear on the other side when you load this position, resulting in even MORE backtracking!

This is more frustration than fun. There are too many critical junctures whose solution is not based on logic or intuition, but on weird controller combinations. Also, the scenery isn't better than the 1996 version.

[thoomie]

I think Tombraider is a great game, but when game designers have no creativity left but to make up this stupid jumps, it's all over for me. This sucks and destroys a potentially great game. Before Damocles-room: 8/10, after 3/10. Thanks for nothing losers.

[Slime01]

It's so unintuitive that you have to press *backwards*, along the wall, not towards the platform, to make the jump. Plus the timing is so picky. I hate how they made such a good game and then ruined it with nearly impossible controls in just a few places that should be trivial.

[Billieboy44]

I did all rooms nice and easily....but stuck with this fu....damocles room. Can`t do this jump, everytime I tried I fall into those swords....but I don´t give up.....it´s a fantastic game....

[Daiseii]

I try to get on the the pilar from the rope thing and she keeps falling, i dont know how you do that :(

[jlandgraf]

I quit - goodbye Lara - I'll never play or buy a tomb raider game again. This sucks.

[technofranki]

Thanks for the video and tips.

I don't know how many times I played this over and over before I got it. I hate that I know what to do, but still can't do it how many times I try.

[crazypoulada]

This is the worst room! poseidon's is the coolest!

[digitti]

But how can I get back after finishing all of this? I'm in the room, opening the door and in the other side is the stone I've put under the door mechanism in the other side and I can't get back trough!

[xCookieCowx]

IM SO STUCK ON THE ROPE

[kalsolarUK]

Ok, heres the secret of jumping backwards properly off that damn rope. Just before you pull the left anologue stick down, you have to release it momentarily to let it center itself. If you don't she won't jump backwards as needed.

[xCookieCowx]

thnx i did it alredy, but NOW im stuck on those damn horse - fire - things at the end of greece, just before egypt.

[shaolinsword]

Thanks for the vid I've tried doing it hundreds of times before watching but finally got past it first try

[kalsolarUK]

Jumping of the damn rope onto the pillar behind is the most frustrating thing I've encountered so far..and I'm a tomb raider veteran. How do you jump backwards of the rope while running along the wall??

[scatterbrain73]

When she gets to the apex of the swing (middle of the left mural), hold left analog stick down and press jump.

[kalsolarUK]

[TrueGroup]

the vid makes it look easy - must have done this 300 times - every combination possible. It's not the jump that grits me, it's the going round and repositioning, over and over and over and over. I would pay $50 for a ps2 save card with this done!! Fed up with all the 'easy' comments too. This is ruining a great game for me.

[violentkittin]

i am really stuck here during the jump

[Matt5188]

Thanks!! i didn't realize the final mechanism could be turned all the way around!

[Altyr5]

That room was easy!

[Airheadsrock1397]

the mechanisim thing doesnt turn for me?

[NeoDoRant]

its easy, just swing, and then wait till lara swings back a little, then press jump, and there you go ! =)

[edula666]

@NeoDoRant Holy bleedin' hell, it works!!!!! Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!

[NeoDoRant]

@edula666 No Problem! :-)

[DamnedSalvation]

how do u turn on the grapple im so bludi stuck on the ps2 lol. please help !! thanks

[sauk00]

Question, how do you land on the platform when you are swinging from the grapple hook? Every time I try I land up falling onto the spikes. Thanks

[Mokharah]

thanks i was stuck on that lol

[BiteTheDust5]

Hey! How did you turn yourself on the grapple? I'm finding it really tough to turn, I've tryed so many times! HELP!

[NeoDoRant]

its easy, just stand a bit more far away, so the stone falls with the ring to your side, then you can climb up!

[Merricat42]

Yep, that's one good way. The one I used was to drag the stone under the door (which blocks the gate-handle higher up), then jump on stone, jump up to gate-handle, jump up to entrance-hole.

And thanks for the Damocles video. I was having a devil of a time in that room.
