Hi all! I am new to this forum. Have usually found Stella's TR walkthroughs very efficient until now. I have tried everything I possibly can find on this particular sequence but I cannot get Lara to jump back to the pillar behind her. I have printed out the picture on Stella's TR site showing the wall run, decorative border and I have followed it to the letter. Alas, Lara continues to jump to the left corner and loses some health. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. This has caused me mega frustrations as well as making my rear sore from trying so many times! All suggestions welcomed!

Welcome MarshaK!

I'll tell you what works fairly well for me. Once Lara has caught the grapple point, let go of all keys so that she comes to a stop, hanging on the rope. Use the camera reset button (wish is "Display HUD" in the controls list, and is J by default on PC) to position the camera directly behind Lara. Don't move the camera at all after that. Start Lara swinging back and forth a few times until she gains sufficient height, let go of left while she is swinging left, and quickly press back and jump.

Hi Marshak and welcome to LCO.

Wall running + jumping backwards is probably one of the hardest moves you have to perform within the game. Took me ages to get it straight and I know how you feel, it gets you really frustrated.

My only tip to you is to position the camera exactly behind her and jump back before she reaches the end of the wall (if that makes sense). Because if you leave it till the very end, she's already twisting her body to turn around... so you need to make the jump a second before. And of course, be sure the camera is behind her.

Good luck and don't give up! The game is too good and these small things that annoy us so much, will be meaningless when the game is over!

hi there had the same problem and it really started to pee me off

when ever i tried to keep the camera behind it would move when i swing

but i found if you tap LB when in the wall run ( swinging ) it would centre then back and jump

easy first time

hope this helps
