    These are a few simple guidelines to follow here to avoid spam issues and keep the forum interesting and entertaining to all. Things may be added at a later date, so check back occasionally. 1. Keep your posts to the topic of the thread. Don't interrupt them to say "Hi" to a member, instead use the Private Message feature of the board. And try to make your posts more than one word, although sometimes that is all that's needed, don't make a habit of it, we want to hear your voice(well, read your messages). 2. Read what you have written before you post it. Make sure it makes sense and is readable enough. We all make those bad speeling meestakes once in a while. 3.…

  3. I am stuck on Area 8: Base Exterior Well Guarded Building and First Solarii Guard with Shield. When he busts out of the doors and comes after he gets close and it triggers a screen that says Dodge incoming attacks and it shows the arrow key but the screen freezes that way but the music is still playing. I have to exit the game and go back in and it just does the same thing. There is also another screen that pops up that says defend and it shows which keys to press and it freezes the screen. I can't get past this point!!! I haven't had any problems with the game until this point. ?

    I have been playing the definitive edition of tomb raider on a PS4. I have tried for months to get past the Russian guy who chokes you and fights you with a gun. After kicking him and biting his ear we struggle on the ground and I always get shot in the head because there are no directions on how to go from there. If anybody could give me any heads up here that would be great otherwise I’m just going to give somebody the game because at this point I can’t play it either way. It’s ridiculous that there is no information on the subject anywhere. I literally just started getting into the game and was forced to stop because I can’t pass the stupid guy!!!

    I am at the top of the radio tower trying to get the emergency channel. I think I have hit a bug or something, as no on screen instructions have come up and I can only move the dial a little bit. Picture looks weird too, like some of it is missing ( comparing to walkthrough screenshots) Any ideas? I have reloaded checkpoint three time, switched console off twice. going to leave it until later but so frustrating!

    While I'm waiting for a new TR to come out, I've been replaying some of the older games. Currently I'm playing TR (2013) on the PS4, I've already played it on the PS3. I've got to the point of no return and, before I finish the game, I'm having a look around for the bits and pieces that I'm missing. Trouble is that wherever I go, it seems to be night time and everthing's dark. Using survival doesn't help, in some cases it makes it worse, and lighting a torch can bring in the bad guys. Anyone else had this problem?

  8. Can someone give me advice on how to kill the large dude on the shipwreck. I’m playing Tomb Raider Definitive Edition on my PS4. Every time I get a triangle prompt to strike at this very annoying large dude, I press the triangle button. Then it gives me another triangle prompt and I press the button again, but then the guy grabs me by the neck and throws me to the ground. It’s becoming beyond annoying. Am I not pressing the button at the right time or holding it down long enough? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I've completed the battle in this area and am now inside the bunker looking for ways out -- but nothing seems to work, including the roped door, which I pulled slightly open and cannot go through when I jump and grab it from below. Tried grenades on doors, floors, every possible barrier! Please tell me what i may be overlooking or not using!?

    Hello! (I'm playing on PC) Near the beginning of the game, when we much retrieve our belongings from the wolf pack, I have a problem with the quick-time event that occurs while exiting the cave. The wolf will jump out at me and I will keep pressing the Left and Right keys to stuggle free. Once that is done, what should happen if i should be able to press F at the appearence of the red reticule to bash the wolf, or something of the sort. The problem is, the retucule doesn't appear, and the wolf tears Lara appart with no further do. I have tried many times pressing F anyway, I have also tried shooting at it but this seems to be a bug. I only got the game yesterday and i h…

  12. FROM THE HUTS TO THE BRIDGE AT THE TOP OF THE FALLS: All right, then, back to the goal at hand. Cross over the ledge at the front of the hut and jump onto the wooden platform in the middle of the stream. Jump from there to grab the rickety wooden arch above. Pull up and jump onto the ledge ahead (i.e., the one where you lit your torch earlier). Climb up to the level with the lantern. Jump from the wooden cart to the climbable rock wall. Latch on with your axe and climb to the top. Cross this ledge and jump to latch on to the next climbable wall. Climb to the top and pull up onto the rickety wooden bridge. (screenshots) Turn left and start across the bridge. As you approa…

  13. I avoided detection until the Russian found her. I'm frustrated and board trying to figure out what this game wants from me. I'm tired of the constant iterations because the game is unlcear what needs to be done next. OK, he finds her. I press "F" twice to ward him off. She knocks him down, her hands become free, I shoot him in the stomach then what? I keep hitting the left and right arrows one at a time, Then this icon of a red hand shows and he kills her. Then it go back and do the same crap all over again. Remember, have a keyboard. What am I supposed to do ? - - - - - - - NEVER MIND, GOT IT !!!!!! - - - - - - - - - -

  17. Please help, as this is driving me crazy! I have watched countless videos and read countless walkthroughs. Basically, I'm at the Solarii fortress, and the cut scene with Nikolai as you drop over the ledge and find the grenade launcher. When I pick it up, I have no ammo. Should I have picked up grenade launcher ammo earlier? Anyway, even with ammo at 0, I'm still able to fire and I think I get Nikolai every time. But then Lara dies. Over and over. I have done it quickly, I've done it slowly. Nothing works so far. Any ideas?

    Lara has a speech with the man at the village overlook base camp and I am stuck from here. When you run down from there, there is a huge drop and a rope at the bottom. I have looked on youtube and it shows Lara firing at the rope and climbing down. I have tried firing my arrows at the rope but nothing happens and I am running out of arrows. Do I need a special arrow and if so where do I get it? I have been stuck here for ages.

I decided to make a thread here as I'd like to share my gameplay videos with the community so they can be used in a way as a guide that helps new raiders on their adventures.I aim to keep a steady schedule that uploads once or twice every week or two as I am still playing the classics at this point but I intend to cover them all with the best of my abilities from playing the games for so long so I may miss one or two pickups but everyone has little mistakes they make.I hope you guys would find my videos interesting and I am always open …

  20. After finally reaching the Ziggurat Chasm, and finding the battle with the giant and others way too frustrating and unsuccessful over many days, I chose to use a save file to the end of this battle. Unfortunately, and although being forewarned, I ended up with corrupt files and my last save (in the #99 slot) was unusable. When restarting the game, I was thrown back to Shantytown, "Area 15"! Now I'd like to know if there's a way to get a save file for the last area (Ziggurat Chasm) again and retry finishing the battle, instead of playing all the previous levels again? I'd rather battle it out -- or get to the part just after the battle --in the last level than play all…

    Hi I've been through the game 3 times, and this time I swore that I was going to find everything. Well I'm almost there, 98%. But I need to get to the last Relic in the Research Base and I need a grenade to open the entrance to it's location. This has been going on for several days, I'v run around looking for the other stuff, and figuring that eventually I'll pick up a grenade someplace but it hasn't happened. Two days and I haven't gotten another grenade anyplace. I seem to find tons of everything else. Anyone have any idea how I can get one so that I can finish this? Mike Sorry I think I placed this in the wrong forum.

    Hi I've played through Tomb Raider 2013 before. I decided to start over and I can't get through the first sequence. It took me about 10 minutes to get her to swing to the point that she set the hanging bag on fire, and after another 15 minutes I can't get her to swing far enough to set the robe on file and drop to the floor. She does respond the the keystrokes but it just seems like it isn't enough. Very frustrating. I'm using a mouse and keyboard. Same one I used to play through the game before. Anyone have any idea why she seems so laggy when trying to swing. I logged into an old save and things seemed normal. Mike
