Tomb Raider Anniversary Great Pyramid shaft climb "hard" bit

[videogamenostalgia]

That's right Lara! Climb that shaft! You might not get it right first time though- it's very hard!

Sorry, but someone had to say it!

Seriously though, if you thought this was hard, have you tried the original?

[vitorrs100]

i used the fly cheat to win this level :)

[GiorginaGJ]

it's very difficult!!! i'm stuck here for 2 days now!i cant do it!!!!! i dont want to abondon it now its a pity!!! damn!!!

[foliea2]

the camera angle really confuses but the real difficulty is reaching the proper height for the 2nd grapple. i believe that you can pass this part mostly with the help of your luck, if you're an average tr player like me. ( hopefully i was lucky) and this part is "the boss". killing natla and the giant mutant was way too easy compared to this.

[aa26i]

In all below mentioned process, dont do anything with the camera when you start jumping, go as it is coming ans specially no need to jump on the wall for second grapple. normal jump and on slide first touch jump and grapple and normal jump at the end of wall run. very easy ..right. it took me 2 days for just trying to jump on the wall at the first grapple and camera angle confuses me alway. then i played as it is and i find the way.. :P

[aa26i]

2 days & becoz of camera angle i always fail to jump on the wall and land on the slide & on 2nd grapple impossible to reach the max. height to grab the ledge.But then find the way.first dont leave the buttons like if u jumped & swinging on the wall with forward button, keep pressing to make action as it is, First grapple & jump,As soon as lara lands on slide immediately (dont let her slip) jump,grapple & at the end of wall run, just normal jump again

[MMAN2]

This is the PC version.

[Mety11]

My camera is SHIT_!!! I can't do it :(

[Anamnesismae]

This was the hardest part of the game for me - it took me 3 hours over 2 nights. The boss fights were easier! I couldn't even tell for sure what I was supposed to do past the 1st grapple - thanks for this video or I might have given up.

[warnahati]

it's hard enough.. and then that stupid camera view making forward not forward but to the right.... I've never seen something that stupid in other games I've played, like this camera shifting.

[husermarcio2]

CRAZY!!!! I gave up trying that :(

[Screamersmusic]

im stuck here and it pisses me off lmao

[FlamesAndCandles]

I was stuck here so long, I never made it to the second grapple.

then one day i made it the second one, i jumped towards the ledge, then Lara missed it, i fell and i had to do that part again. I was SO pissed, i nearly threw my tv out of the window :p

[meggyspencer]

I did this this afternoon ;) Lara died something like 10 times XD What I hated the most was that she was always shooting at the roung things on the wall AND NOT at the monsters. =.=

[ssaakkuu192]

A co tu takiego fajnego ?? :D

[rax7]

OMG. i stuck here too. the only thing i hate is that i always need to turn her to face the wall before i can jump to the next pole. that wasted some times. i hate this one.

[wjgmspeedy]

This video doesn't help that much. I know what moves I am supposed to make. But doing them is the hard part.

[UltimateNinjaStorm9]

i hate it how those huge bats knock me down all the time also the camera is part of the frustration!

[Roaringwithlaughter]

Its bloody hard :|

[nyhg87]

what the f were they thinking puting this bit in for, its nearly impossible to do. i just take the short cut and jump from the ledge to the ring in the wall its much easyer to do it like that and i can just about do it that way. You did it very well, good stuff.

[HillxBilly78]

I'm at this part now... wish me luck. Lol.

[birdgirl69]

i am in this part too

[Roaringwithlaughter]

SAME!! :L Its really hard :|

[BaVoBa]

The controls sometimes drive me crazy in this game. Its pure luck to get Lara jumping off a wall in a 90° angle. The camera adds to frustration also. In this particular sequence, the demons are SO uncredibly nervewracking. Couldnt they set autosave points AFTER you wreck them?! Its so annying to shoot them down on those tiny platforms every goddamn time...

[DarkShadowRage2]

WOO! I did it! :D

[DarkShadowRage2]

I swear ..I HATE those mutants...keep knocking me in the damn lava..

[cotterell55]

ye I agree, great job with the poles, I could not do that it way no matter how hard I tried, so in the end I went the short way lol. Kind of cheated but they shouldnt of made it that hard in the first place. ooooo 17 days until underworld.

[4fsake]

This bit has ruined the game for me, firstly crystal dynamics f**d up the control keys when they took over from core, then you get levels like this...I have no problem with jumping, grappling or grabbing.BUT why the F when your wall jumpimg does she suddenly grind to a halt, or your swinging then the F**ing camera changes, so you screw up...I need help....Fast....

And as for the adrenelin dodge, C'mon for F sake crystal dynamics!

[peposo7]

Heheeh! I played it mostly because of the adrenaline dodge. What bother me most however, was(like you said) is how the awkward camera movements can screw up your controls.

[stormyaussie2008]

Great to see you do it with the poles..(the harder way!!!!)...

For those who want a short cut on doing this... Look at Tomb Raider Anniversary: Great Pyramid Jumps by XcomCaveRat. I saw him do it a shorter way. I found this way easier then the poles.

Great job though with the poles.

[enclosure22]

I am stuck on this part...thanks for the video!!

[emiear]

Hey, what camera angle do you have it set on? By the way nice work.

[nl3paul3nl]

you can get the 50 caliber pistols in natlas mines

[gitb90]

I found this easy... but yah no good for the other people who got no idea wuh tooh do

[TheHappySquirrel]

Round of applause!!!!!

[b160121]

theres a easier version to this jump JUST JUMP OF THE CORNER OF THE LEDGE AND THE USE YOUR GRAPPLE. PUL UP AND THEN DO THE SECOND GRAPPLE

THEN UR THER

[jayblueridgesumilhig]

Holy shiT!! thIS one is The Hardest ive ever encountered in This game.....im Using PC version.......SHIT!! very hard.........

[Tyrannotaur]

Wow I did this like 9 times and either was too slow or the damn gargoyles killed me by knocking me off. But once after watching this I managed to do it. Thanks alot for the video. I think the main trouble I had was that the camera messes up my timing and jumps.

[vanschick1]

omg thx so much

[lkjkorn19]

MMAN2, the .50s are available in Atlantis. They can be found in the lava area of Natla's Mines.

[alucobh]

Xin bái làm sư phụ, tui chết ở đây không biết bao nhiêu lần mà ko qua được !!!

[Omaru1982]

got stuck here on the pc version and gave up, since then I played it on the ps2 and got stuck again, but thanks to you I was able to get past this part, I think the flying gargoyles add to the frustration of this section.

[Kobiic]

with which programm did you recorded your gameplay with sound? (if it is on PC...?)

[MMAN2]

PC version with FRAPS.

[tallpete33]

Nice one thanks. Tho even when you know how to do it, it's hard! Took me a LOT of attempts. Good news for those yet to do it, the following runs are much easier!

[leonmilo]

i didnt find the climbing bit hard i thot shooting the monsters was hard coz a wasnt even aiming at thm :@:@

[baphomet9]

this is the most frustrating part of the game thanks to the stupid camera. the had it fix on Legend, now its a mess I wonder why they added the extra ledge on the wii version!!!!

[loganit0]

fucking amen on that. this level shows perfect how lame that auto aim is. dumb ass who let that happend should be fired.

[elijahcider]

Hey mate, thanks for the video, it really helped me get through. I think the whole trick is in the wall walk thing not just the time. I was sure I wasn't going to do it at all, thanks again :)

[lillepiggi]

OMG.....I DONE IT!!!!!!FINALLY, and while I still had some hair left, don't think it's normal to feel this happy!I gave up trying to do it all at once. Jumped to the wee ledge, shot the target again, managed to hit it this time and then had enough time to do the rest. Hats off to all you guys who managed to do it with ease.

[MMAN2]

Which small ledge do you mean? If there's something that lets you cheat the sequence it would be helpful for people stuck on it.

[lillepiggi]

I think it may on be only on the wii version. The ledge is in the corner between the 2 grapple hooks. if you jump to the first grapple hook(i gave up on the poles)shorten laras rope, then do the wall run , you can jump to the ledge, turn around and shoot the target again. it gives you much more time to do the second hook. I tried it this way again cause I had seen the tip about the ledge on one of the forums. hope it helps.

[lillepiggi]

It's in the BIN!!!!! I have turned from a reasonably balanced person into a complete nutjob. i just cannot do this. when I do manage to get anywhere near the second jump, my rope is too long and I don't have nearly enough time to shorten it and do the wall run. I've tried shooting the target from the lower ledge, but can't do it. I don't know if it's a bug or not, as I'm a newbie at gaming. at this rate I'm not going to ever be an oldie!Loved the game up til now.

[qwertyxxxyyyzzz]

what do u press when u jump from the first ring to the second ?

[tallpete33]

You need to pull away from the wall and press X to jump towards the next ring. Then quickly press square to grab it. It's not the hardest part of the move. Getting it all done in time is; you need to perfect the turn and swing on the higher bar to make it.

[lillepiggi]

I'm so addicted to trying to beat this thing, i was back on trying again today. I've almost got it, almost. It's so frustrating having to go over and over the same senario again and again.

[lillepiggi]

this is driving me insane!!!!!!!!I have(up til now) really enjoyed the game, but I must have killed the flying thingy a hundred times...at least. I'm not giving up just yet, the eternal optimist in me always thinks I'll do it next time, next time,next time, one of these times I will

[MMAN2]

Like the person below, I'm asking, are you using the PC version?

[lillepiggi]

I,m on the wii version. the camera angles throw me off at times. Spent another fruitless hour on ot last night,think i'll give it a rest for a bit.

[MMAN2]

Damn, that means I can't test something that may resolve the possibility of whether it's a bug.

[meerameera8]

It is VERY VERY hard ive been trying this for a whole week.I mean come on its a game and its meant to be fun, but this is very frustrating.

[MMAN2]

Are you on the PC version?

[fikujez]

Hey, 50. caliber ARE available in Atlantis:) you can get them in Natla's Mines in the lava room, below the entrance.

[ChewiePoopants]

Skip the poles, after killing the mutants jump straight towards the first ring and grapple it, climb the wall a bit and then continue onto the slope..... only way I could do it! :o)

[MissFancyDay]

Hey thanks! Never thought about that! :P

[Samantha4812]

this is the part i was trying to beat when my sister deleted my saved game, now im at the beggining.

[pretender2u]

hey guys this is FUCKING IMPOSIBLe, im uninstalig the game, fuck it...

[kieran7777]

lol u joka!

[pretender2u]

This part is the most shitty in the whole game, My message to the Eidos, "we are not inmates, serving to life, with nothing to spend our time, "!!!! Anyways, i uninstaled teh games onces, from this point, but i ll give it a try again, if not, it uninstal and delete for it. By

[socialbutterfly70]

I've been wearing out my controller trying to get past this part, wish it was as easy as this video..

[LouthChick]

I am finding this particular part VERY hard. I will try again soon then leave it for a while if I fail......

[marshymelpi]

that took me about 80 tries to accomplish.

[20Rowey07]

This Game Is Only Good On The Wii :)

Haha

[2050bugatti]

they are avalable. search "tomb raider stella" on google and enter tomb raider anniversary walkthrough>natlas mines there is a big chapter with 50cal. pistols written on it. u can find them in the first lava room after getting the normal pistols

[myemark94]

after shooting the mechanisms. release the guns then aim again. that way lara will not shoot the buttons but instead she will shoot the flying annoying thingys!

[myemark94]

this level is easy just use the shortcut. dont use the vertical poles. just jump (press hold X) then graple. it easy you can do it too!

[niffermarie]

Awesome job. Usually I don't have too much trouble with Tomb Raider, but this part was particularly difficult for me. Not so much as doing the jumps, but dealing with the crappy camera angles the XBox gave me. It wouldn't let me have behind views, just from the side, so it messed with my controls and ability to beat the timer.

[lawdilaw]

fair play to MMAN 2 for doing it first time.... but would have been much more impressive if u had some humility with it.

[MMAN2]

All I did was mention that I found it easy, which is true, and I found some of the jumping challenges in Egypt MUCH harder than this (which is why I was mystified why this was found to be so much more difficult by a lot of people).

However, there's been the development that there really are bugs in this section that can make it near impossible for some people (and easy for others), so it can screw you over regardless of skill if you get unlucky.

[Domzdream]

Question to anyone out there: I noticed one guy does the jump onto trhe 1st pole then 2nd, but on 2nd he does a twirl facing automatically other way elliminating the slow turning around and beginning to swing again. How does one do that twirl?

[Domzdream]

Holy wanking christ! I think I must be on my 65th try. I'm not joking. To say the least, a really dissapointing ending. Pc boys battle this bit due to dumbass camera. Foreward buttons become sideway buttons. How badly programmed is that? also she keeps aiming at the dial and not the monsters.

[uncomphrensive]

YES SO DAMN HARD, im gonna have to quit tthis game.

[Domzdream]

I finally finished this game, past that hard bit. It was so funny because I accidentally in random order pressed the buttons on my keyboard and I swear to god, before I knew it I was hanging on the required edge. So I was ecstatic! Oh, try perhapse pressing crouch while swinging. She'll change direction in mid air swing, giving you more time, instead of slowly turning her around and beginning the swing again.

[worbsie]

BRILLIANT

[pretender2u]

this level is shit, u cant do it becouse u run out of time,me and all friehds try it, and we end up in quiting and uninstaling the game, fuck it

[Jode007]

Easy ^^

[xenojobeia]

anyone know that south park ep where they curse alot and unlease a plague? well if anyone is feeling sick its cuz i unleashed a plague trying to do this "£$%^&* part IM STILL STUCK urge to kill rising!!

[xenojobeia]

im currently at this excat point and its really spoiling what has so far been a great game, it's the fact that if u mess up and fall u have to fight the winged guys over and over. i cant even make the first jump now im so nervous about falling :@

[MMAN2]

It's said that you can run back down the corridor you came from to trigger another checkpoint; so you have to run a bit further but don't fight the mutants again. I don't know how far it is though.

Its been found there is a genuine bug in this section for some people; try using a program that can limit your framerate (such as FRAPS) and use that to limit the framerate for this part, as grabbing can become broken otherwise.

[xSamhain72x]

actually what frustrates me is the camera angle shifts that make Lara turn the wrong way when shes on the bar, kills my time.

[bandicootbbzcrash]

i tell ya sumfing the only way 2 get unlimited ammo 4 those guns is 2 complete all the preu timetrails n ya'll get 2 cheats

1. unlimited ammo 4 the 50 caliber pistols

2. show enermy heath meter (includin the range meter)

[fosehill]

this is a piss easy part, and was a piss easy game !! and i hardly play games any more too, maybe its jsut easier on PS2 than pc

[geckodust]

you can pick up the .50 under the entrance of the first lava pit in natla's mines :)

[miguelnoche]

I was going insane trying to complete this - HERE IS THE EASY WAY. Avoid those poles. Run and jummp (hold shift to jump further) and you can grab the first grapple. You'll need to climb the grabble line a little bit and you can jump the ledge to your left...Theres no need for those poles.

[popapopas]

The game is too hard to pass... it gets boring anyway. They should provide a more friendly save system, or anything like this. I've tried this level for many many times and I just want to uninstall this great game... that's a pity.

[csonicp]

The hardest part is turning around quickly on that second pole and quickly leaping to the crevice, to give yourself enough time to do the wall running before the hook retracts.

For those who are concerned about doing this level on Time Trial mode, don't be! I died THREE times during this section and still finished the level with 3 minutes to spare!

[Potkanka]

It was really hard, I don't know how i passed it, but finally I did it :D

[Angelcake2003]

You say in your description that the 50 caliber pistols are not available in the actual game, I found mine in the Coliseum level.

[MMAN2]

They aren't in Atlantis. I'll clarify it.

[murderismyart]

ha..did tht first timne lol!!

[Bampy]

I loved this level. <3

[amateurdude]

That part was easy imo.

[jaggedhalo6]

I hate this bit more than I've ever hated anything. I'm stuck and I can't get past it even thought I know what to do!

[JonnaHammett]

i so hate it.. pls.. a saved game...

[jackwyatt51]

Thanks for posting this!

[darthkahn45]

Piece of piss

[iamkillermonkey]

where did u get teh magnums? i couldnt find them in natla's mines?

[MMAN2]

This is on replay mode. I'll put a note about that.

[raindrop444]

I havent got the full game yet but what buttosn do you use?

[GemmaHayesFan]

Hardest part in Anniversary.

[Timewaster34]

this was so hard!

[Banim]

What a face wash that pyramid had!

[thekingz]

Awesome i had trouble with this!
