Tomb Raider Anniversary on hard lv13 The Great Pyramid

[bastidador]

i might try throwing the console at the television and see if that helps get through the 3 poles 2 rings part

[bastidador]

what about a how to do this for normal people please

[ilovelctr]

@bastidador If you mean the 3-poles-and-2-rings sequence, all I can say is that pressing Q on the keyboard (grapple key if you're playing on console) as soon as possible can get you through.

[Dragoon5079]

can some1 plz tell me is there any trainer or cheat for super jump; or something like that, i cant do that damned lvl?? plz if any1 knows email me. ty vm

[djab2]

ffs just walk x)

[RRRAAALLLUUUCCCAAA]

for me, the hardest part ever in this game was to reach the ledge after that 3:55 part... I stayed for like an hour to manege the buttons on that part!!!!!!!!

Anyway... I finished the game today.. so happy :)

And thanx a lot ilovelctr, couldn't have done it without ur help, u rock at playing tr!!! :*

[Goudariffic]

Nevermind about the parallel bar question; I just found that you'd already answered it xD

[Goudariffic]

Woah, how did you do that flip on the parallel bars at 3:55? It looks faster (and way cooler) than the simple turn-around at the top of the bar.

Great job, especially with the combat, by the way (:

[oerstadt]

never succeded to get over this level :(

[333877499]

SUPER!!!!

[macza80]

you are great !!!!! very good :-)

[glimmerE]

[glimmerE]

yeah.thanks a MILLION

[NymphetamineAdina]

never mind i found a way for lara to take the higher jump in the end

[NymphetamineAdina]

pls tell me how to jump at 9:04

[AllieX7]

.. You cant sprint in anniversary ..

[EvgenyTM]

Can I ask u a question... How did you do the the swinging on the bar at 3:55

[ilovelctr]

Press E on the keyboard (interactive button) while changing swinging direction.

[EvgenyTM]

thanks... This is really cool!!

[Vboy1810]

lol all the flipping made me dizzy at the begening. LOL

try sprinting??? anyway good job!!!!

[ilovelctr]

Thx. ^^ And you're welcome. :P

[AJOxYuichiro]

thank you

[flumpingjumpers]

Arg, I hate it when they put in these difficult bits that take weeks of repetition to do. I mean I like a challenge but not to be watching that bloody loading screen on loop for hours D:

But thanks for posting these, they're very very helpfull.

[Antonmilaouxx]

So i made it, but it costed me a finger, PSP is not really adapted for games...

[ilovelctr]

Oops, sorry I didn't get notified when your comment that was posted 3 days ago was posted. o.O

So your finger hurt? :O

[Antonmilaouxx]

Hi, actually i do it on PSP. Can you tell me if there's something special to do on the lasts jumps, 9 times on 10 i can't grab the wall just after the last grapin fly, and i can't take more amplitude because there's not time enought to make a back and forth...And the ultimates jumps on the corner, i couldn't go far than 3 metters from them.

Does anyone knows if it is similar on pc version or is it a special feature realised for the hasbeen shitty PSP?

[nukleopatra88]

I'm having a lot of difficulty with the vertical shaft, could you send me a save file about around the checkpoint at 5:07?

[ilovelctr]

You could get all the save files from tombraiders (dot) net, which is TR walkthru web created by the most famous TR-walkthroughs writer Stella.

[metalJBC]

You're a pro!

What the hell was that at the bar at 3:55 hahahahaha. I couldn't stop laughing.

[ilovelctr]

Ah, yes. In Anniversary they combined several lvls together, for which the reason might be due to the game's being sort of rushed. For example, Cistern and Tomb of Tihocan were also appended into one lvl, namely still Tomb of Tihocan, which is however, much shorter than the original one.

[ilovelctr]

The Great Pyramid is a construction located in the Atlantis Island. So is Natla Mines, which is the 1st lvl of Atlantis.

[lkjkorn19]

You can post videos over 10 minutes? So it's a while back you've joined, then.

[ilovelctr]

Nah, I can't... well, maybe I should say I can. ;) It's just that vids lasting for 10:xx are allowed but those lasting for 11:xx are not. So the limit is 11:00 in fact. :P How desperately I hope I can post vids longer. XD

[TombGurl]

i hate the creture that copys whateva u do! thanx u help me!

[Junanagou]

Can't you stop doing those stupid jumps/rolls over and over ? That's useless, pitiful... And BORING ! =( However, you played well.

[ilovelctr]

Well I've changed to doing swan dives over and over now.

[kejucha]

Your game is great. Very profesional!

[robertooooooo4]

how do you turn her so fast when she climb???

[ilovelctr]

Do you mean how I make her moving along the ledge faster? If so, that's pressing 'E' repeatedly while holding a directional button to make her move.

[ThunketAlien]

To open the door, took alot of hard work.

I kept trying and finally I did it.

[EwilAndNice88]

This level is so cool ;]

[heatherlyrodriguez]

lol i just blanked out everything after you made it past the fourth pillar, I made it to that one and for some strange reason I had Lara jump around and then she rolled back right into the lava :( I threw a huge fit. Luckily theres auto save.

[b160121]

ello ther i am on this level n stuk on the part after 3:30 plz help i play on the PC thx

[ilovelctr]

Many players have told me that they were stuck on this part, which is actually all about practice regarding your speed and fluency of controls. So there's no better way in fact. Just do as my vid shows. Notice that on the second pole, there should be no hesitation when you adjust your swinging direction (swith from 'S' to 'W' asap). And for the grapple part, you'd better press 'Q' asap too.

[marlyonama]

I'm at the final obstical of the fire pit challange in which one of the flying creatures gets to high out of my shooting range and keeps knocking me off the platform with it's fire balls.

Tell me a good tip on how to deal with it plz.

[ilovelctr]

Sorry for the lateness, I didn't really notice this comment when it was posted. :/

Killing these creatures can be kinda hard cuz like you said, their fireball attacks are a bit tricky to dodge when you play this part for the first times around. However, it works pretty well if you do a left or right roller when they're GOING TO hit you - just pay attention to their movements.

[XxBAYBEExCAITxX]

who woz tht on the floor at the beginning

[ilovelctr]

The dead body of 'The Kid'.

[laracroft2222]

How do you do the somersaults?

[ilovelctr]

Sorry for the lateness..., but do you mean swan dive? If so, press Space and then Shift immediately. Those somersaults can be done by simply pressing Space twice in a row.

[Kobiic]

why are you jumping nearly all the time

[ilovelctr]

What do you mean by "nearly"? Swan dive? It's just a way to move faster by covering more distance.

[QueenLeTigre]

Great gameplay! 

By the way, at 5:30-5:54, did you notice that on the ceiling, there's targets you can shoot to make the doors stay open temporarily?

[ilovelctr]

Thank you.

And I didn't know that when I was recording this vid, but later I knew it while checking some other walkthroughs.

[marshymelpi]

I'm experiencing a glitch at 4:02. Lara doesn't seem to slide when she lands on the slope :O

[LittleMissNaoko]

Oh my gosh thx for showing this lol I couldn't figure out where to go D: Thx thx and thx!!

[uncomphrensive]

At 03.55 how do hell do you do that? Hm, i think this is the hardest part in the game so far, jesus christ.

[ilovelctr]

The most important point is to press "S" first then quickly switch to "W" to turn the direction you swinging to. In fact, I don't even know how to tell you how I did it, cuz I succeeded this the first time I tried it. Many players complained to me that they can't finish this part. But actually, it's pure controlling skill issue. So all you can do is to pratice.

[uncomphrensive]

Can you make a trip to north of sweden and help me out? Christ so damn hard.

[ilovelctr]

Hmm... it's so damn hard for me to make a trip. ^^ I live in China.

Btw, any of your mates plays this game? Maybe you could turn to them.

[AJIN5]

You know I just Beat this game and the whole time i used pistole.

I tryed the outher wepons but i manyley use pistoles the whole game.\

[ilovelctr]

It's not that hard for me too actually. :) These videos I made are walkthroughs, which is a guide for average players, but not something showing off. So I've gotta use the most proper weapon for each part to show them what to use best. I'm making speedruns for this game currently, which are really challegeable. Any chance for you to make some vids btw?

[marshymelpi]

Really? I never really noticed you using a specific weapon at the right time.. :O

[Rainmakerlola]

how many levels does this game go up to?

[ilovelctr]

15 levels altogether including Croft Manor. :D

Btw, last time you told me that you love the fact that Lara is British. So, just curious, are you also British? ^^ These emails that notify me of your comments all link to uk.youtube something.

[Rainmakerlola]

Yes i Am. and i cant belive theres 15 levels

[ilovelctr]

That's cool. ^^ A friend of mine is studying abroad in Britain now. :D

Btw, I'm from China. :)

[superfardis]

That's Absalutly Exellent. I love China ^^^

[ilovelctr]

Haha, thanks. :)

[Rainmakerlola]

Your very Welcome . what is so funny? lol ^^^

[Roosmarijntje]

Your SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Good man :O

I like your walkthroughs =D

[ilovelctr]

Thank you. ^^

[nitesh03]

wow 0.0ur good at dodging enemies n ur camera control amazin:D even playin with key n mouse^^am havin hard time dodging those enemies itz hard 4 me:(((they alwayz catch me=(((

[ilovelctr]

The advantage of using a mouse is the fact that you can adjust the camera to the proper angle at a faster speed than using a controller. :)

[marshymelpi]

Once I got knocked down by 3 panthers, I couldn't get away from them.. so Lara died.

:( lol..

[bonitaxoxo]

I am from Canada and this game is imported from California U.S. I am myself still playing this game with keyboard and mouse, and for me it is sooo frustrating difficult. Especially this part when Lara have to jump to those poles very quickly. I am like 4 days still struggling with this.

[ilovelctr]

Uh...just sorry to hear that. I think you might consider buying a USB-slot controller for your PC if you prefer the controller control system. In China, this game hasn't been imported yet. But it has been set that it'll be imported by 北京娱乐通(Beijing YuLeTong). The quality of the discs that they produce is always a little poor and certain DVD drivers even cannot read it.

[ilovelctr]

Btw, those staff who work at the importing association will add on Chinese subtitles which is translated from the English dialouges in the game. But since English is my favourite subject, I won't buy this Chinese version ^^ , the poor disc quality of which is what I cannot stand.

[bonitaxoxo]

Oh, I thought u playing with xbox 360 or something. Cuz its so difficult play with keyboard.

[ilovelctr]

Hehe ^^

I know most western players like to use a controller. But I'm from China, in which only the games on PC are imported. That means I never play a game on consoles, judging by which you could understand how unfluent my gameplay would've been if I'd played this game with a controller thing. ^_^

[ilovelctr]

Btw, My genuine TRA DVD-ROM was presented by a friend of mine who is studying abroad in Bratain. I'll have to wait for a long time if I purchase the imported version. Plus the quality of the disk cannot hold a candle to the European or American version. Just feel a lot of gratitude to him, lol ^^

[bonitaxoxo]

I am soooooo frustrated with the part when Lara have to jump to those 3 poles, then have to jump into 2 ropes. OMG I am always burning & dying. And I am playing game on PC.

[ilovelctr]

Many players told me that they were stuck here. And actually all that I can tell has been showed in my vid. So... = =||

Maybe to keep on trying is the only way to work this out. Btw, I play this on PC too, using a mouse and a keyboard but not a controller. I prefer to play games on PC.

[armida55]

i've been stuck with the 2 flying bat thingies, the retracting poles and the 2 ropes for MORE THAN A MONTH now, the whole thing is just so frustrating that i lose my patience after like 15 minutes of trying, and now i feel that i may never finish :(((((

[ilovelctr]

Well I've just received tons of feedbacks regarding the frustration here, actually it isn't hard if you do it at the fastest pace. One thing you should notice is that you have to change the swinging direction on the second pole very quickly. If you found it hard to do, then I suggest stopping swinging the moment you reach the 2nd pole, and change the direction you're facing to, then move on with swinging. And be sure the throw grapple out ASAP (this is very important).

[armida55]

thanks for the reply!

actually i somehow mastered the direction change while swinging and got as far as the second grapple, but i always run out of time and just drop into the lava and its SOOOOO frustrating :(((((((( i wanna finish the game so badly!!!

[ilovelctr]

You're welcome. :)

Hmm... =/ grappling as soon as possible could make you do the wall-run much faster and higher. And did you make sure that you re-shoot the button to gain the largest amount of time? And maybe it's not a bad idea to have a look at that part of my video again, so that you could see at what part you were slower in comparison and try improving it. ;)

[armida55]

i've looked at that specific part of your video like a million times, you make it look so easy

and yeah, sure, i reshot the button, but still, time doesn't seem to be enough for me, but i'm gonna have a lot of free time this weekend, so i1m gonna go for it

[ilovelctr]

Well, best luck with it then! :P And feel free to ask for any more assistances if you need.

[armida55]

assistance needed

OK, so now i can almost always get to the second grapple and jump off towards the ledge, but i can never reach it cos it's just too high up, what am i doing wrong?! :( cos i know that i don't release it too soon

[armida55]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!

i did it

FINALLY I DID IT!!!!!!

UNF*@KINGBELIEVABLE but i did it

omg, i'm gonna have a heart attack... lol

[ilovelctr]

Congratulations! ;D

As for your last comment, it's still about how soon you grapple with the ring I'd say (Actually you can keep pushing the grapple button repeatedly like crazy once you've jumped off the ledge, which lets you be inclined to grapple ASAP). And it's always better to release the grapple after Lara almost stay still (that's where she reaches the highest position after a wall run).

[bonitaxoxo]

Thanx I tried kills monsters it helps, but now, u know the time that it giving me to jump to ne place to another is very short.

[ilovelctr]

You're welcome. :)

About this, I suggest you jump to the first column thing, starting your jump from a not-too-short distance. Otherwise, you might fall into the lava. And then immediately jump to the second then to the other side. One thing that should be noticed is that the first jump had better be done as soon as the column comes out. Hope my vid and suggestion would be helpful to you. This part really needs some skills.

[bonitaxoxo]

damn. I still struggle 3 days,with part where Lara has to kill those 2 flying monsters n then just while floor is moving.

[ilovelctr]

I think you might just have a try on jumping onto the first moving column first and then the second and then to the safe ground, ignoring the third one. In my vid, I jumped onto the second one straight ahead but that could sometimes be frustrating.

[marshymelpi]

when you were in that room and you had to pull the circular thing in a circle motion (what?lol..) ..was that reflection Lara but in a muscley (huh?!) version? And then that cut scene... where lara says "talk about being your own worst enemy".. is she talking about that reflection muscley thingy that fell? i dont get what i just said..

[ilovelctr]

Yeah, she(called "doppelganger" in the game) just does the same action as Lara does at the exactly same time. If you try to shoot at her, she will also shoot back at you. And she will be hurt to fall down just as Lara.

You're right. "talk about being..." means it is the doppelganger herself that killed herself.
