madmadmary Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 I'm nearly finished with this room but there is a bit where you have to grapple, wall run then jump to a column. It seems impossible as I can't tell when to jump. Any tips for anyone who has reached that bit? Ta! Mary Quote
Guested Account Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 when she's standing on the wall, press the forward button a few times without making her jump to get a feel of how far she goes.... she really doesn't wall run that far; as soon as she is as far as she can run, press the jump button and grab the L shaped ledges Quote
Shrensh Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Do you mean the bit where you have to get Lara to jump backwards off the wall? That drove me a bit insane... What worked best for me was to press left to send Lara swinging, let go while she was swinging left, and press back and jump as she reached the apex of her swing. Some people have recommended waiting until Lara Lara has turned back after reaching the end of her swing left and them pressing left and jump together. Quote
Guest Fusion Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 That is driving me insane im in Natla's mines and there is a wall run which i need to jump backwards and she keeps going left AAAHHHH!!!! annoying Quote
madmadmary Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Posted June 3, 2007 Thanks. What worked for me was getting her to jump when she was as high as she could go. The pillar was further away than I thought. Mary Quote
Guested Account Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Pull the Lever, jump on the block, jump on the raising gate and jump up to grab the ledge before the gate closes again. I can't get it!! I pull the lever, the camera angle is screwing me up and instead of jumping on the block she's going all kind of ways and if I do get her on the block, she can't jump on the raising gate fast enough before it closes OR if she does jump on the gate, it's not high enough for her to reach the ledge above. I tried adjusting the Camera Angle by moving the mouse after she pulls the lever but that only takes up valuable time. p.s. playing on the PC with just the keyboard and the mouse makes it even more difficult!!

Ms.Croft Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) It's all about rhythm lol. When you climb on the gate, wait for it to reach the top. When it reaches the top, you should hear three metal clinks (Or heartbeat clinks). On the third one, jump! The gate descends on the third one and Lara will jump in time just to grab the ledge without the gate blocking her! Good luck! MsC EDIT: I'm on about the wrong room lol, push the block underneath the gate and then jump onto the block and then onto the gate. Edited June 3, 2007 by Ms.Croft Quote
Shrensh Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Push the block under the closing door. Then you'll be able to grab the gate and then jump up to the gap above. Worked for me anyway. Quote
Guested Account Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 ok I did all that and got the key now I can't get out of the room with those blades on the floor appearing and disappearing!! Quote
Ms.Croft Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Look at the pattern on the floor, red equals bad, white equals good. Just remember that and you should be fine. I don't want to give too much away just yet as figuring it out for yourself always feels better lol. But yeah, just watch the pattern and all should go well! MsC Quote

MsC I stepped on the first white square, then when the next white square was safe, I tried to step on it and she got killed but there are no blades protruding from it!! Quote
Ms.Croft Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) You may have just got clipped by the last white square. You have to be ultra quick to step onto that white square. You have about 1 second to move judging by the rhythm of the blades, the best thing to do is memorize the sequence before you begin the sequence. That way, you know where to step to next without having to think about it. Anyhow, just remember that speed is the answer! Good luck!! MsC Edited June 3, 2007 by Ms.Croft Quote
Guested Account Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 now i'm stuck trying to do the wall run to the pillar... Quote
Ms.Croft Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Lol, my tip for wall pillar jumps is the following: Make sure that Lara is level with the Top of the pillar you want to jump on when she is stationary. Afterwards, run back and forth at least 5 times and when she reaches the optimum position press the button away from the wall and jump almost immeadiately. She will land on the pillar safely. Good luck again lol. MsC Quote
Guested Account Posted June 3, 2007 Report Posted June 3, 2007 Whoohooo I have finished St. Francis Folly!! Thanks for all your help!! Once I have completed the game I can play any levels in any order, right? I will never have to play St. Francis Folly level again for as long as I live!! Quote
Guested Account Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Oh...you know you'll play again... the game I will play again but not St. Francis' Folly Quote
Guest Fusion Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) i posted somewhere else (I JUST KILLED ANNIVERSARY if its still here) that if you put the block under the door which i did hence the title that the switch is down on the other side so you cant raise the door to get back over. heres the link http://www.laracroftonline.com/forum/index...?showtopic=2486 Edited June 5, 2007 by Fusion Quote

The door on the other end isn't affected by Lara's weight when I did it so I could get back out no problem, must have just been a rare bug when you did it. MsC Quote
BPanther Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 I HATE that jump.... I can't do it either in the Croft Manor... :angry: :angry: Maybe one of those things to try with the controller instead... BPanther Quote
Raekwon Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 It's well hard with the keyboard.. I can only do it with the controller. I try to press the equivalent keys when I do it on the keyboard and it just doesn't happen. Very frustrating. Quote
Blade Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 I've gotten the key and I'm trying to get across the middle of the room where there are moving spikes...I've stepped out there several times, with disastrous results....how do I get through there safely? Quote

No easy that i can see other than to study the pattern and then run for it i'm afraid! good luck Quote
Kera Jeir Posted June 9, 2007 Report Posted June 9, 2007 Thank God I found this was driving me insane 4 hours wasted!!!! Quote
Rika_Croft Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 (edited) I pushed the block under the door, but Lara won't reach to the top ledge!! EDIT: nv lols I'm a retard when I pulled the block it fell the wrong way so it wasn't high enough. Edited June 11, 2007 by Rika_Croft Quote
