Is anyone else having a problem with throwing lanterns? What happens to me is Lara picks up a lantern , aims it in the right direction, but instead of throwing it, she drops the lantern and draws the gun. I was unable to get past the lantern room and had to use a savegame. I also couldn't do one of the tombs, for the same reason. Any advice?

So far you're the only one I've heard from who's had this problem. My first suggestion would be to try changing the controls for Aim and Fire just temporarily to see if that makes a difference. Also, I assume you're already doing this, but just to cover all bases...you do need to continue to hold Aim as you adjust the lantern's trajectory and then press Fire.

Until we figure out a solution, I'm happy to take your save, do whatever lantern thing needs doing, and send it back.

Anybody else know something we don't?

Many thanks Stella, I can always rely on you to help! I do hold the aim button, but I haven't tried changing the controls. Will do that next.

Hey, it worked!! I changed the aim and fire on the mouse, to z and v, (randomly) and Lara threw the lantern and blew the place up. Thanks Stella, I would never have thought of doing that. I guess it will work in the Tomb as well, I shall go there now, and try.

Awesome! I love it when one of my wild, random guesses actually works. I can't remember if this game allows you to assign multiple keys for the same thing, but if not, you can always swap them when you need to do the business with the lantern and then change back to normal for combat.

Stella ... "random guesses from the TR Goddess?" .... NO WAY

I'm having the same problem and changed to X and V, but it still won't throw the lantern. So frustrating!!!

That's a drag. I have save files on my site for after the various lantern sequences. You could use one of those to skip that section if all else fails.
