(PC) Natla's Mines - OoB Shortcut

An out-of-boundaries glitch that can be used in Natla's Mines after obtaining Lara's pistols. To perform it, use the xRikux89 airwalk glitch, give Lara a little height by moving up the nearby stairs, and then go back towards the hall from which you enter this area. Keep Lara to the left, she'll embed in the ceiling, and then you can roll over the invisible barrier on that side and work your way around the area until you reach the lava room. Backtrack slightly to allow the area to load the graphics (but beware, as you can pass through the wooden barred gate if you go too far), and then continue on. Once you reach the room where you have to climb the stones up to the cutscene, you have two choices. If you're doing an individual level run, finish the level as normal. If you're doing a continuous run, then I suggest staying in airwalk mode and using another out of bounds trick shown in segment 17 of jardart's speedrun of the game. jardart's OoB for the end of the level isn't useful in an individual level run because it bypasses the trigger point for the end of the Mines and you'll have no choice but to finish The Great Pyramid to trigger it then. Good luck.

NOTE: I hadn't thought of this before, but jardart informed me that by using this in a continuous run, you'd be skipping over the shotgun obtained after the Larson cutscene. As the shotgun is very useful for the remaining portion of the game, it more than likely saves more time overall to do it like in his speedrun segment, and thus you should probably only use this shortcut in an individual level run. Thanks for the heads-up, jardart!
