WTF!!!

DAMN!!

welll it is a Tomb Raider you always always have to look around!!!

[Zeratul8697]

WOW

[erichmark]

I have done this a hundred times and she just always slides back down!

[sinuspi]

From the sandslide or from the column? On the sandslide you just have to jump forward just before you start sliding down, and time your jump back as soon as Lara starts sliding (as far as I can remember it, anyway). Hope you make it :)

Cool, thanks!

[finloser]

nice

[laralegends111]

well done, that bastard room took me so long to get through

notice how one fuck up in this game and u have to backtrack a mile?

[Gandarufu]

nice shortcut! but i still think the left roll way is much faster since u directly end up in front of the gate...

or is this whole left roll stuff cheating in your oppinion?

[sinuspi]

Yes, nice and useful cheating, but cheating nonetheless. I wouldn't use either left rolls or "invisible ledges" (like the one on the front gate of the sphinx, used for passing Sanctuary of the Scion in 2 minutes) in any "official" time trials, anyway.

Reaching that ledge I found only involves finding it - it's there, just hard to see. Hence, my shortcut is for those who might consider rolls a glitch.

However, unending kudos to you for finding so many rollable/glitchable shortcuts :)

[Gandarufu]

hahaha, no problem. well, then it`s just different opinions, right ;D since there are no official rules who state what`s cheating...

well, actually for me cheating is using 3rd party software, like trainers or cheat-progs or anything that differs from the original behavior that`s possible in a game. but since the game is designed to do leftrolls, such shortcuts should be called "happy glitches / accidents" instead of chearing since there`s no chear at all involved.

[Gandarufu]

anyway, hope to see more of your alternative shortcuts ^^ cheers

[sinuspi]

Whenever something unlikely to be put there by design is found by the users, I can imagine the game authors responding in two ways: First is, "Hey, that was cool. I thought we put those ledges far apart enough NOT to be able to jump them. All right, you have some skill." The second, "Hey, that's not right! You're not supposed to be doing that at all! We'll need to fix that..."

[sinuspi]

If I feel something belongs in the second category, I consider it a cheat. Many of Lara's moves were redesigned not to look/act overpowered and bring her physical abilities closer to an actual human's - her left/right rolls, however, still have that ridiculously high sideways salto that I'd think required a nerf as well.

Again - not that there's anything at all wrong with cheats :P

Good luck with yours, as well.

@sinuspi WHAT?IT'S NOT CHEATING!Why would you say that?Lara has many abilities.And TR games always had multiple paths until crystal dynamics started making them.So it's not cheating.They accidentlay made the game look realistic and they accidentaly made Lara be able to do more that what she's programmed to.>_>
