Hello everyone, I am brand new around here, and I sure would appreciate some help. I play Anniversary on a PS2, and I am absolutely frustrated with one move -- the fast swing on a horizontal bar. I am so completely stuck in a room in Greece. I'm in level 11 (Sanctuary of the Scion). I have completed the part with the room with the two statues and all the changing water levels. Now I am in the room with the moving scarab below a horizontal crack on the right wall (that is, to the right when you come in from the water). There are two horizontal poles to swing across to a crack on the left wall, both of which are on vertical tracks and descend when you jump over to them. So, Lara must jump up off the scarab to hang on the crack, then jump backwards from the crack to the first horizontal pole, which she has to "fast swing" off of to the next one before the first one descends. I've had to do one fast horizontal swing already, at the foot of one of the statues in the last room, but I cannot figure out how I can get it to work here (maybe because that one was left-to-right and this one is right-to-left?). When I am hanging on the crack, looking over my shoulder at the pole, the camera is giving a side view. I need (if anyone will please take pity on me) a control sequence from that point. When I jump off the wall, do I adjust the camera first or leave it in side view? which way should I move the left stick? at what point do I press triangle (to trigger faster movement)? at what point do I press X (release)? I have looked at several walkthroughs, and they all say some variation of "Go to the right wall, jump up to grab the scarab switch and immediately jump to grab the handhold above before the scarab descends. Jump back to grab the first of 2 horizontal poles. Quickly jump from the first pole to the next before the first pole descends." They all seem to assume this is a regular movement that has been explained so everyone can do it, but I don't remember that happening! Thank you for any help you can give me. I have been stuck here a long time, and I want to be able to go to Atlantis! I've been playing this game all the way from the original, and I love Tomb Raider! _CAt
