the offical Lara Croft/Tomb Raider Club
- Thread starter susan rocks!
- Start date
I am stucked in the stupid Lava room that you go up platform by platform and gargoyles come out after you shoot the target the first time. HATE IT!!
Did I mentioned this is Anniversary?
Did I mentioned this is Anniversary?
yeah, sorry about the fightingwe dont enjoy it as much as you hate watching it....
you can join though!!
yeah, anniversary is very, very, very, very good. we're stuck on like the second to last part. in the first one, do you know where your in the great pyramid? were there, and it is impossible!!!!!! you have to shoot these like eyes, and then you get attacked the first time, so you have to do it again, and then your timed to jump across to this other ledge, but you have to do all this tricky stuff to get there, and the bit were stuck on is impossible, becuse you have about 10 seconds to do it!!!!
Yes, the same part!
On the fifth floor where the gargoyles come out and the bars pop out of the wall.
I have killed the gargoyles and ran and made the first jump to the first bar or side pole. Here the camera angle sucks because it changes right after Lara grabs the pole and this causes her to lose momentum. The result is that she does not jump right away to the second pole. And even if she were to jump to the second pole, she still has to turn around, jump, grab the ledge, shimmy left, jump and grapple the first hook, wall run, jump backwards and grapple the second hook, another wall run, jump and grab the crevice and finally to the next platform.
NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO IT AL!!!!!! AAAAARRRGGGGG!
I may never get past it!!!
THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE POST ABOVE
Sometimes you just have to cheat!! LOL
Well, it's not really cheating, its more of a shortcut.
First, I will show you the video of how this is done. Only I can never do that. Secondly, I will give you a link to the shortcut. NO USING THE DUMB POLES WHATSOEVER!!
Watch this:

My games changes camera angle when she jumps back to the first pole so she loses momentum. I lose a lot of time there and will never make it across like that.
NOW, THIS IS THE SHORTCUT (Sorry, no video).

I haven't tried it yet. I don't have time right now. I will post when I do.

I hate the way the direction/camera features changed
That is the one thing that bugs me the most about the new versions of Tomb Raider.
In versions 1-6, the arrow keys were mapped to Lara.
Front was ahead of her, back was behind her, right and left where those respective hands were.
So, for me, it was an instinctive process to know what to do.
I'd look at a jump sequence and say, okay, go up, left, right, down, jump, done.
But now, when the camera moves away from looking at the back of Lara's head, the arrow keys rotate to make her move in different directions.
What took me 2-3 tries under the old system now takes me 20+ in the current system.
It's because I have to memorize the ways the camera move will alter the direction keys. And if the camera moves in an unexpected way, I either send Lara plummetting to her doom or have to stop to realign the camera.
I don't like doing this because this is supposed to be a fast paced game and when the series of jumps is on a timer, I don't have time to stop and adjust the camera or think about how the arrow keys are randomly remapping.
Anniversary is the only Tomb Raider game I could not complete because the modified gameplay mechanics (it's not like game 7) made the game more or less unplayable. It took a monumental effort to even get to the point where I was forced to stop (about a 3rd of the way in, near the obelisk of Khamoon somewhere).
I hope they've fixed this for game 8.

WEEEEEEEEE! I used the shortcut method and it worked fine. I moved up to the next floor and also to the next one after that. I am stucked there again, but now I know I can make it. Thank you to the person who posted that shortcut.
By the way, I saw a video of this guy actually making Lara switch direction WHILE swinging on the second pole. That saves at least a second or more. I will have to practice that. But not in that level of course
Fly cheat trainer
Well, after what seemed like the 200th run through this area, I tried to install the fly cheat tool.
It didn't work, so that was when I abandoned this game.
The demo for Tomb Raider VIII is coming out soon, if I can download it (it's probably very big), I look forward to giving it a try.

Oh, yea, I heard about the fly cheat. There's a video out there on YouTube but I did not see it. I have to get me that code. How do you get it?
I downloaded it from http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/
At least, that's where I think it got it.
But I never got it to work.

The code apparently gives Lara the ability to do almost anything in the game. However, this cheat code is only for the PC version because it is a computer code and would never work on the consoles.
On YouTube I saw videos people shot using that cheat and I saw Lara walking on air, swimming underwater without drowning, climbing mountains or impossible buildings, swimming in LAVA, and even getting off the map. However, it has some limitations.
I am not downloading the thing because I do not play TR on my PC, only on my PS2 or 3
If you want to look at where to download it or read what it does ot does not do, go to the following link:

And some people have a hard time making those codes run because of their computer configurations and their anti-virus software which sometimes detect these codes as trojans. They get either deleted or disabled by the anti-virus.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that is so suckish!!!
Well, yes, because you could never do anything like that for the console games.
Those codes are usually developed by independent programmers who know about game coding and stuff. They usually make that available to the general public. The codes are also known as "hacks."

Oh ok. Well I hope you have fun with that.
Have you tried the short cut to get out of the lava room?
