Escaping Meteorite Cavern without killing Willard

[vinrainbows]

Never seen a better video

[xBigxJxProductionsx]

Is it not possible to perform a corner bug at approximately 4:20 after you kill the baddies? And get to the other side of the gate from there, or is it not not possible to walk up there?

[xRikux89]

@xBigxJxProductionsx There is no open roof, so a corner bug at that place doesn't lead anywhere. :(

[bryanashford]

I've got an idea, why don't you turn on a flare and hope the helicopter sees you and flies to where you are?

[THINGYTHINGY100]

This level scared me bad. I was shooting Willard when I heard a noise from downstairs, when I turned back to the scream, Willard was flipping in the air, and flung Lara down like an old rag and I jumped back and screamed: FUUUUUUCCCCKKK!

[Magicacoca]

Lol, hilarious x°D

[gabydias63]

should kill him before would be better

[SGPMPSGA]

I guess that's a flash-forward instead of a flash-BACK :D.

[DinaSan1]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! the last bit was so hillerious XDDDDDDDDDDD!!

"gate closed. we didn't save the world!"

"stupid door/stupid buttom/stupid gate"

"guess we're stuck here"

-flash back from an other vid of your's with the same situation-

"no...no...NOOOOOOO!"

"OMFG NOWAI NOT AGAIN"

*~lara screams go like~* "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

[bad1boy34]

What about trying the movable block glitch, but on the door?

[popfan95b]

I've got an idea how to get past the closed gate. Mind you, it's just a guess and I never had the chance to try at this scenario, but here goes...

Would it be possible to "squeeze" through between the gate and the wall by doing a well-placed running jump? I remember to have been able to jump out of a window in Lara's Home in TR2, so unless they fixed the engine up a bit, it should be possible in this case.

[xRikux89]

@popfan95b

Door objects are compeletely different from windows. A closed door counts as a full wall square, so there is no crack at all like there is with fence objects.

[popfan95b]

@xRikux89 But I also remember to have been able to jump through two adjacent doors in TR2 (Wreck of the Maria Doria). And as long as Lara doesn't bump into the gate (she should still run in one spot), there's still a chance of this working.

It wouldn't kill you to give that a try, would it?

[xRikux89]

@popfan95b

If trying to get past this door would kill, half of the Tomb Runner crew would be long gone. Trust me, it's not happening.

The doors in Maria Doria are specially designed to not have a wall square. If there was one, Lara would bump into it from the other side.

[pkzadam115able]

@xRikux89 hey u um u cud deffanatly use flight patch and yes of corse u can so :)

[rikkejh]

ahahaha i like the fact that the deaths are in the vid too!!

[artsyalchemist2009]

Oh well, guess she'll just have to freeze to death, lol

[xRikux89]

@VocaloidRin12

I didn't "forget" anything. The whole point was to skip the fight, but yes, that is why the gate was closed.

[afonie]

Niice! o__O

[TheEdox99]

Ahah doesn't knows that beautiful, Lara Croft and Cries ahah 5:12

[LaLimen0s]

Xaxaxaxa!Guess we're stuck here! :D

[imogen123456789]

hahaha thats sooo funny but if she was stuck in that dessert place then how did she get there??? lol

[xRikux89]

@imogen123456789

It's from another video of mine. Look for "TR4 - KV5 without the Jeep."

[CoolDudeClem]

I always hated having to do this level, I only ever defeated Willard once and I'm sure it was down to pure god luck. I never did undertand why he wanted to change into some kind of spider thingy anyway.

[thegoldbarracuda]

LOL You failed alot. But still nice and epic.

[glowee123]

This was good and hilarious at the end!!!!!

My dog was by me and when she heard the scream, she was scared.

[hammycheez]

If you download flight patch then kill him 4 times if you got the artifacts then use any key to get flight patch and fly away in the level.

[seekah1]

Hilarious, thanks for that!! A great challenge once completed properly.

[koenne69]

Maybe you can use a bug to roll true the door , i did it in TR2 .

[utterrandomness]

Would it be possible to bug on top of one of the houses?

[xRikux89]

Nah, there is no room on top of the houses. The idea of getting past the gate has been brought up several times, but we've never found anything. :/

[utterrandomness]

not even that dodgy flicker motion thingy? That's a shame :(

[MrShalise]

I had my volume turned way up and Lara's scream at the end scared the SHIT OUT OF ME!!!!!! OMG I THINK I ALMOST HAD A HEARTATTACK!!! :) LOLZ

[LambentBoleyn]

3:12

xDDD EPIC FAIL! omg, this made me laugh so hard! awesome work dude! loved this!

[silentprince89]

haha the flash back is too funny

[blackfairyprincess94]

lol at the flashabck

that was from the video "TR4 - KV5 without the Jeep"

XD

[TyWalkerMusic]

lol at the flashback

[pilllunaaama]

lara raukka :D

[unsubdu3d]

nice movie . and really cool (weird?) idea about not killing final boss xD

[kamil0706]

Ha! Great job, i never try it ;P

[xxxcallofduty008xxx]

the flashback is too funny :D :D

[LadyStardustVertigo]

Damn I thought about not killing Willy and now it`s useless since the door is closed. We`ve cheated so many times in the whole series and at last Core owned us <_<

[Rocksabileelapapdi]

hehe^^ cool ;)

[IronFist175]

Its also possible to stun Willard as normal from the start then quickly make your way up the right ladder & backflip to the statues hand just in time before you get hit. From here its relatively easy to run & jump to the exit platform without being torched. At the base of the swing, I used the mp5 to stun Willard then made my way accross. Great vid btw :)

[wizzewis]

GREAT!!!!! it really work!!! thanks

[LittleSchleich]

This Is Awesom! I Can't get There xD But Know I Get There And I Didn't Kill willard xP

[Gamemaster863]

Ya cause the only way to get through is by killing willard!

But good freaking job escaping!

[nath1016]

that scream at the end scared me

[ericcroft22]

my favorite videos by riku are tomb failure and KV5 without the jeep!!!!!

[AgentFalkan]

haahahha XD this is awesome XD

where are you in the flashback??? o_O

is it one of your vids? have you a link??

this is great lol finally Core didnt forget to make a closed door if you dont kill Willard XD ROFL

[xRikux89]

Yeah, it's from a previous video of mine. Look for KV5 without the Jeep.

[AgentFalkan]

Ok I've seen :D great vids!!

[StormtheRebel]

I feel so sorry for you putting so much effort into escaping but finding out Willard can control the switch with his mind.

[Piranha239]

Whaaha xD

Stupid Door .. Stupid Gate .. Stupid Button !

Flashback xd.

"Scream" ^.^

[VideoGammerMan]

xD so fun !

[tombraiderman1997]

lol

[metalgirl3135]

Love the flashback lol!

[TJW11alpha]

lol willard hit you in the air.

[ejrwen]

loool, stupid door, stupid gate, stupid button.... and then flashback :DDD

[GeorgieLicious]

LOL! the flashback was so funny!

[keithrodriguez15]

That was awesome XDDDDDDDDDDD

[Camera123]

I thought the ending was hilarious, especially the flashback reference. Poor Lara goes insane in every game. XD

[rrcarroll252]

Do a turning corner bug at the right-hand ladder. When Lara flickers at the top of the corner, turn right w/Forward held (for speed) until she disappears into the corner. Then press Roll repeatedly to eject BACKWARDS onto the shelf. But all this takes 15 or 20 seconds. (Damn YouTube for erasing this 4 hours ago.)

[Tombrunnerh9]

Wow amasing

[RobinSchouten]

Can't you, just like in TR5 (Trajan's market), crawl through the gate's corner?

[xRikux89]

Tried that. :( I think, with Trajan's Markets, it works partly because there are empty squares to the left and right of the square on which the gate is placed. Because the square on which the gate is is considered a "wall" square.

Although you still end up on the gate's square when doing that (in TR5), which is why you get stuck and can spin around fast.

[gamerglitchexpert777]

I did this right after watching this video a few weeks ago and ya do get stuck and none of the corner bugs work in the area because of the solid "sky" (low ceiling)

[toffee2k7]

lol xD

[LoonyLoo]

lmao great video. very interesting strategy too :P was it not possible to corner bug anywhere and somehow escape?

[xRikux89]

I tried a bit, but couldn't find any way. Most of the corners have nothing but ceiling above. I'm not very good at corner bugs though. But I think rr_carroll tried it some time ago too, and couldn't find a way.

[LoonyLoo]

Aaah that's a shame. Still fun to watch though :P

[rrcarroll252]

My first thought is that the only corner bug spot is the right edge of the ladder, and the 7 other equivalent spots. But it seems likely that Lara would be stuck BELOW the platform. At least it's worth trying. BTW, the crawl corner bug would be faster.

[rrcarroll252]

OK, I just tried. Crawl corner bugs don't work, of course, because the "floor" on the other face is at a different height.

1. Two of the non-ladder corners allow flicker motion, but there are no platforms there.

2. Only the corner of the right-hand ladder works. Do a turning corner bug, turn right w/Forward held (it speeds the turn) until she disappears into the wall(!). Then press Roll repeatedly until Lara ejects backwards onto the platform. (Cont. next comment)

[rrcarroll252]

But maybe she escapes the energy bolts while inside the wall. I did my testing while Willard's dead, so I don't know. If you try this, I strongly suggest you first do it after Willard is dead.

[rrcarroll252]

Oops, I left out the worst part: all that bugging takes 15 or 20 seconds.

[RadxxRyan]

What an awesome way to end your TR3 speedrun! I think I tried doing this but didn't know to use the rocket launcher at the monkey swing XD.

[rrcarroll252]

This is a great video. You illustrate the pitfalls and what to do about them.

I suspect you knew perfectly well about the closed gate, since it's been discussed. Building some drama, eh? ;)

After trying many times, I once pulled up onto the upper level, but immediately ran into the wall and got shot. I didn't realize that you could pull up still half on the ladder, maybe I should try again.

[xRikux89]

There is indeed the other way where you pull up at the right time, and have Willard hit the wall right below you. I find that requires near frame precision however. I must've tried about 50 times loading the same savegame over and over, and only succeeded once.

This method on the other hand, requires precision.

I do this: (Cont. in next comment)

[xRikux89]

Take one hop back while shooting the Eagle 10 times. Roll around the instant you finish up. Take a running jump to the ladder. You have to steer Lara right in the air and press action as late as possible for her to grab the highest rung possible (For some reason, you just have to do that). You'll know you hit it if you have to climb up 6 steps to reach the level you need. Press right to let Lara's feet go. Shimmy once to the right. It's a very short shimmy, so press up quickly. Roll and Crouch.

[qebiko]

wow, very well done! wudnt the first bit crawling to the gap instead of standing up work?

[xRikux89]

I tried that first, but if you turn that much to the left, the crawl collision will cause Lara to eject away from the wall, and you will get hit.

I added annotations, it's mentioned there.

[gloverrandall]

damn that sucks. you got all the way through that, and you can't even finish the level XD
