I just got the game tonight and i am a long time Tomb Radier fan. But I am stuck!!! I played past the radio tower just fine and was on my way to saving Sam but got sidetracked with wanting to finish some older tasks so ... i fast traveled to an earlier camp and now when i go back to the radio tower i can't go any further! i shimmy across to the tower and then when i get to the ladder ... I can't climb it !!! I REALLY don't want to have to start a new game ... ! HELP PLEASE!

What platform are you playing on, and have all the patches been installed? When you go and look at the fast travel locations, is there a location with a quest marker above it?

Hi, odell4life, Just to to flesh out Shrensh's excellent suggestion.... You mentioned in your post that you got "past" the radio tower before you got sidetracked. Does that mean you completed the radio tower sequence, sending the transmssion and calling the rescue plane? Did you then make it down the mountain and meet up with Roth again? If so, there's no need to go back to the tower. You just need to continue on from the Mountain Village. My Mountain Village Part 3 walkthrough has details about exploring that area and what to do when you're ready to go after Sam.

If I misunderstood what you were saying and you did not yet climb the radio tower and can't now, then it does sound like a glitch. Which system are you playing on? If PC, I have save files on my site, including one for before the tower climb. See here.

You do know you're inviting comments about sucking eggs with that awesome sig image? Or do people not even use that expression anymore? Lord, we're old.

Ha ha, never thought of that I swiped it from the http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/7025-Tomb-Raider'>Zero Punctuation review of Tomb Raider. I had no idea what he said after that image showed up, I was too busy laughing my head off at the image of Lara devouring bird nests and growling over them like a dog

Nom nom nom...grrr!

ModRadier, I never found the tunnel or the wooden bridge mentioned but your Direction (East of the village) got me to the parachute jump and all is well! Thanks !
