Blade Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Ok I've tried several times, unsuccessfully, getting past this timed section. I'm on the second platform and I can kill the two winged creatures that come out after you shoot the target that brings out the poles. I can get to the first pole no problem, but after that its a problem. I get to the second one and I can't get Lara going fast enough to turn in the right direction and swing over to the ledge. By the time I get there I have to go back and do the shooting over again. I did manage to get to the second wall run, but I ran out of time and died. I die so much I just turn the game off....I hate being stuck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPanther Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I know how you feel... I hate being stuck myself! can you post a screenshot of where exactly you are and I'll try to help. My memory isn't so good sometimes... BPanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Oops I forgot to mention that I play on a PS2......but I can try to describe the area I am on a platform.. looking forward i see two of those cocoons, one to the north and one to the east....above and to the right is a target that has to be shot 10 times to make the poles come out of the walls, and this also makes two grapple rings appear as well, also the platform moves out more when the timer starts.

Shrensh Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 If you are where I think you are (where I got horribly stuck too) you can do that section by jumping straight to the first grapple point, holding the jump button in to make Lara jump further.

Blade Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm going to give that a try now....thanks for the video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 That is where I got stuck for a day too!! Upset me badly! I just kept doing it over and over, until I FINALLY GOT IT. Shrensh, if I would had seen that video sooner! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade, Thanks for the details. Shrensh, that is the BEST tip ever!!! Thanks! BPanther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrensh Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 lol, you're welcome. That bit was making me absolutely insane and I just about cried with happiness when I realised I didn't have to do the bit with the bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Well I finally passed the Great Pyramid..... i did that part the way it was supposed to be done with the poles....Now all I have left is to defeat Natla.... I'll leave this thread open for anyone else that may have problems with this level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Croft Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 You mean you don't have to do the poles..... Anyhow, I eventually did it with the poles with about 2 seconds to spare on the last jump. That is a killer part of the level however it was nice to see (For me anyhow lol) that CD had developed a lot harder jumps and stuff than Legend. But for tips on how to do it the normal way you have to master pole flip refersing (Where she turns in the opposite direction on the pole) and one swing jumps on the pole. Also, make sure that you keep shooting and target and then edge your way towards the slope whilst still shooting the target. As soon as you're opposite the slope, jump forwards and let go of shoot and begin the sequence. It's hard but it's well worth it when you finally do it lol.

I would pratice the "turning around" on the second pole and drop down on the platform and do it again until I was fast enough. I also did the shooting until I jumped. It does save 1 sec! From what I remember from the "Dub, Dub, music" you only had 8 seconds to complete the task, right? Even those damn winged bat demons' fireballs do not help! Lara didn't want to aim up at them! The Time Trial for The Great Pyramid is 17 mins! I finally completed the "Caves'" Time Trial. You only had 6 mins. To unlock cheats you must complete the antire place, eg. All levels in Peru to unlock a cheat, all levels in Greece, etc. I hate those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_mcb Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I know I'lazy, but I'm really tired by shooting these demons over and over again. So can any body send me over email a save game from the next platform, after the two grapple spots. I would be grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wizard Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Blade, Thanks for the details. Shrensh, that is the BEST tip ever!!! Thanks! BPanther I watched one of the other vids and realized I missed the slope to jump off of... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notokdave Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm playing on PC and I'm having the same problem I've had all through this game. That is jumping in the right direction while doing the grapple/wall run. I'm up to the top ledge and cannot get Lara to jump in the same direction two times in a row. It's really frustrating killing the creatures a zillion times only to have Lara jump into the lava from the grapple. If you take any time to adjust the camera angle you'll then run out of time. I'm totally stuck here. This a a major flaw in this game for PC players as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dfaye4 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Reading all of the Wall Walking/running to get to a platform to grab another ring to go to another one, yeah, right! Well, the 3rd retracting ledge was difficult, but wait till you get to the 4th. I've played every TR game...never had this problem whereby I could not go on. She just will NOT run high enough to reach the second high sliding area so that I can get her to the far corner and grab the handolds to finish the CheckPoint 8. I've tried every run at that first ring...straight on and also the first corner ledge. Nothing works! Tired of killing those dang ugly winged demons, too! This game really sucks! Anyone have any ideas on this one? I am playing on PC and have been at this for days now. So frustrated, my heartrate, I'm sure, is so high I have to quit for a day. Maybe I should just go get "saved" game and call it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremybrewer Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Anybody know how to get past the second post in the large room? I killed those things numerous of times and the timing for Lara turning around on the poles is a bit off. I've watched the videos posted but I'm on a different one that isn't posted for some awkward reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
