TRA - Obelisk of Khamoon 8:55

[acquamarine28]

you.are.incredible! I think I've fallen in love with you XD

seriously, great run!

[beefnoodles95]

why do i feel like the stunts look like uncharted stunts?

[GeorgietheevilRaisin]

The stunts you do in a few of the sections are absolutely insane. That is to say, genius :)

[artfact2]

Impressive! Makes me want to re-do the level again. Last time it was an absolute obstacle.

[jessicamay101]

u like own this game !! :)

[MrJavi94]

You couldn't be faster. Very well

[DarkTsubasa]

That run was godly! 6:08, thanks for that shortcut!

[Casper3701]

You've obviously completely mastered this series... I've always had a lot of difficulty performing the maneuver where she run across a wall with the grapple and then jumps OUT from the wall, like at a 90 degree angle... like 9 times out of 10 she'll just jump straight forward, (usually with very disappointing consequences...) Is there some trick to doing this move?

[xRikux89]

@Casper3701

Personally, I always throw the camera behind Lara so that she's running away from it. Then, while holding the left directional key, I press jump.

[xRikux89]

@xRikux89

I mean of course it's the right directional key if she's running right. xD

[RaeXsims]

Damn.. you make this look SO easy =/

[missLovefuture]

omg. verry goodd!

[ggddrr26]

AHA I lolled at 9:05, like; "Oh, a centaur-mummything. Let's go to the next side." x]

[armida55]

OMFG, best. end. ever. i was laughing so hard, didn't expect that... :))))

[yuequeen]

dude! you super tomb raider!

[NastyaRussianBeauty]

thnx i needed this! for the time trail.......

[lindawooliever]

it took us 5 hours to get through this level. this is absolutely astounding.

[ClickabilityForever]

I'm stuck at this level!

At 1:56 in this video, Lara got very close to the ledge at the other side. On my version, Lara won't swing high enough to reach that ledge. This is the same on 2 PCs...

I have an OEM version of the game that came with the Palit GeForce 8800GT card...

[xRikux89]

Those grapple swings can be very tricky. When you jump off the previous ledge, throw the grapple to the ring as soon as possible, hold to the direction of the swing beforehand so Lara can gain as much momentum as possible, and jump off just before the very end of the swing.

If you still can't do it in one swing, try lengthening the grapple cable: Hold Interact and press down to descend along the wall. Now start swinging back and forth until Lara swings far enough to grab the ledge.

[ClickabilityForever]

Thanks!

[Roaringwithlaughter]

I am lost where you do all the swinging for the Seal of Anubis because I didn't do all that and I am stuck because I don't have the Seal so maybe thats why :L

[Andreypd]

Hi guys,

I have a problem at this level...there are two rings for hooks on the wall behind me\(at one moment).A low placed one and a high placed one. My Lara won't go for the high one (she always auto-aims for the lower one) and i can't pass this stage. Can i switch somehow between rings or maybe i can turn the auto-aiming off for a moment somehow. Please help me! I really wanna see how it turns out :) In the video you don't eaven notice the second riing. she goes for the higher on her own

[frostycold111]

after watching your speed and comparing it to how long it took me... i subscribed XD

[SynthiaDemonica]

Remind me next time I watch your vids to keep a bucket. xDDD

This video gave me total confidence in the obelisk time trial.

So thank you very much O_O

[qebiko]

i can see y this is a 'recommended' run, lol well done

[LadyxHeartagram]

I love this game. Crystal Dynamics did an excellent job of this re-imagining. Even though it will never be possible to surpass the original (as dated as it is), this is an excellent ode to the series that rocked the gaming industry.

[RaymodCheval]

You obviously have a different version of the game..

At 7:23 you have enough time to even balance out Lara on that pole.. in my version balancing there is certain death as a postal stamp..

Jumping earlier than the walls are completely open results in Lara "missing" the pole while jumping in the right millisecond just gets her through if she doesn't loose balance and hops on instantly..

That is a hateobject in my TRA-version..

[xRikux89]

What are you talking about? The walls weren't even close to killing Lara. There is no problem in having to balance on that post if you're mashing Interact beforehand. I'm also certain there is no difference in that between my game and your game. You're just doing it different, or doing it wrong, that's all, no offence.

[RaymodCheval]

*smile* dont worry.. I dont feel offensed ^^

Your walls move half the speed they do in my game - thats all :D

Hmm.. maybe I'll make a short vid of that part just for you - like I done for ilovelctr ^^

[RaymodCheval]

here the short video..

compare the time you have at that part with that in the video:

watch?v=q-OjoqjEmdY

[xRikux89]

I see now that you are right. Your walls close about every 2 seconds, while mine close about every 3 seconds. That is weird, I thought they wouldn't tamper with gameplay between versions. :/ My game is the 2-disc collector's edition supplied in Europe, and I bought it on the release date I think. What version is yours?

[RaymodCheval]

I cannot tell you what my version is (unless 1.2) because a friend of mine gave me his DVD without anything else after he gave up frustrated by the game..

[RaymodCheval]

correction:

Version 1.1

[LadyxHeartagram]

I have the same problem as RaymodCheval. (PS2 Player btw). Every run I have done, and I do mean EVERY RUN. I have jumped RIGHT AT the pole, and she misses. Or she gets it and does not balance and then I end up dead. It takes me about seven tries just to get across it sometimes. Very irritating when you're trying to do a speedrun.

[oddball324]

you missed an artifact or relic back in 2:10

[Carrieee0x]

Wow this makes my time trial time look rubbish, you are a pro :)

[Anoria2003]

well that so quick how did you do that!!!! i never gonna make it, i always go dead bij that two blades at 4.30, i don't know what to do there XD

[Bampy]

Even I can't do that.

[Triforcechen]

fucking shit you ´re so fast

AWESOME!

[wangman85]

that was awsome but this game just keeps getting more and more challenging with every passing level doesnt it?its so freaking good....

[orochi248]

nice death....

[fannyc90]

Zomg....that wasn´t human.... O.O

[shannamuffin31]

did any 1 happen to find the mummified cat in this lvl? if so, what is it for?? ♥shan

[danimusgrove]

the cat is in the level b this, it gives u another outfit

[CommanderCartwright]

That was freakin good.

I thought i was good at this game.

Shame about the death.

I liked the bit with the centaur at the end.

Lol.

[jaskotel2]

Nice job! Indeed is rather the matter of luck than abilities.

[NoodleMoogle]

Welllll yeah- s/he (?) Is really lucky in this but they also look like a pro too :) That was soooo awesome, it smashes my time into dust....

[jaskotel2]

Mine too, lol. And I am a hard TR player. I'm jelaous! ; ) Indeed, for sure it's luck + great pro abilities.

[xXhayleyroxXx]

i hope so :S lol i think i might have to turn the sound off hahaa, the noise the mummies make is sooo freaky

[xXhayleyroxXx]

lol if i get scared on the playstation i hide beneath my bed covers and sing random songs

i guess ur right im gonna have to face them :(

cheers for reasuring me JennaTate

[JennaTate]

Hah!

You'll make it.

I guarantee you. =]

[xXhayleyroxXx]

Saruman38 - yeah i agree they wer so freaky!!! i still find the ones on anniversary scary though, it's just the fact that they're mummies i dnt like. im scared of real ones as well lol

[loouuni]

okay, if you hadn't died this one time you will be better. you and iloveltrcs are the best tra players ever!

[loouuni]

oh i see you head died one more. ^^ no that's okay, im not better. :P

[xXhayleyroxXx]

erm.... now iv seen tht im seriously frightened... is there anywey possible you can avoid the mummies? at all? u c i have a really bad phobia of them and won't be able to finish anniversary otherwise unless im feeling pretty brave

[Saruman38]

I find the mummies in TRA far less scary than in TR1.

[JennaTate]

Aww,Hun,Your not the only one.

But I still made it!!

Perhaps putting on some music could help?

Or,Just think; ''Okay,Im gonna make it,Hold on.'' xD

I always do that. and it worked!

It wasnt so bad. =]

[myemark94]

I think this person playing this game is not human. amazing!

[pole52]

Man! You Are Good! I Always Die On This Level SpeedRun Or No SpeedRun.How Do You Do It?

[Winxie101]

If you didnt die that one time youd be the ulti champ for TRA

[MetalGearRider]

Is this the PC Version? Because the graphics look awesome. XD.

[Darius320]

Of course it's a PC Version and yeah the graphics look awesome.

[MetalGearRider]

Kool. I got it on PS2.. Getting it on Wii shortly.

[MissFancyDay]

Oh my god can you come and do the time trials to me lol 5/5 and to my playlist...

[chaneeraider]

I wasn't ask you,how you can take this video?

[chaneeraider]

Great tips and walkthrough game!

[Thorpe]

I just did this time trial on Xbox 360. It was a real pain and I died a few times. Still, had some time left though at the end. You were very quick. I finished it in 13 minutes.

[rawrilyy2]

rofl. i did it in 16 min. and i thought i was fast. O:

p.s. but i did it with no walkthroughs the first time and not watching youtube viedos. I'm watching them now so i can try the time trial again. lol. (:

[seriousred]

great

[fatkii]

ta hanksha main ne cice te majt

[RadxxRyan]

wow, really nice work. love how you ignored the horseman at the end lmao.

[Bambaindust]

i can do all good despite the fact that this sampler is not human :D, i try to avoid my mistakes, but there always come the time when Lara is a dope and fails to jump from the edge or one rope, or achieve it on even ways i do.

[alwayzfamous]

i hate that bit at 1:10

[alwayzfamous]

so fast it hurts my eyes lol

[GirlWhoPlaysTR]

Wow... EVen though she died that is the fastest thing i've ever seen. I tried doing the time trial for days and havn't been able to because I get her chopped up or smushed.. Your really good

[clockworkcookie]

It's a cool video, but I'm afraid I agree with dragerian. for example, not killing the centaur before placing the artifacts, it's just luck that she didn't get trampled a lot more. also, the rotating blades. no real technique there. not to mention the pillar jump at 5:51, that jump is extremely buggy, most people have trouble going through with one attempt, unless they get lucky.

[xRikux89]

All the things you mentioned go pretty easy for me actually, my only problem in running this level is with the three Atlanteans at the bottom of the one room.

[clockworkcookie]

well my hat's off to you then, I've been trying to finish this time trial all day, and I just can't! She keeps dying on the pillars. It's so frustrating.

[dragerien2]

i saw a few EXTREMLY lucky moments.

[lilaluft]

why did you have so little medipacks left?!

[LaraPL]

Unfortunately she die ;) but it's brilliant anyway
