I have watched 'Outrun the Landslide' (Falling Apart, Mission of San Juan) being done on YouTube but I am finding this insanely difficult, even dialled down to lowest difficulty.  This is the first time I have been genuinely stuck and 35 tries later, I am wondering about seeking a saved game right after this is over (I am not even getting halfway, I guess my reflexes are not what they used to be ?)

A few of those spots are tricky.  I can't remember all of it but, I think this flee sequence uses the rappel rope and grapple hook rope a few times IIRC

Yeah I have watched it being done on YouTube so I know in theory what to do, but actually doing it... ?

I can't even get half way (I had it glitch out once but all the rest were just straight fails)... I am up to 41 tries now & I am going bug-eyed ?

I surrendered at 45 tries.  Oh well, I guess this is beyond me, such it life ?

When Stella gets on/has time she can use your savestate and get past it for you probally. She had to help a person who had a glitched out jump on the Unuratu prison segment.

Yep, I'm happy to do it. Just attach your current save here or email it to me (stellalune at tombraiders dot net).

Just got to this today. Took about 20 for me. It's the hardest sliding sequence yet, but keep trying! The one that kept getting me was right at the end with the shipping container (?) and I kept going too far left.

Many thanks, Stella! ?

My pleasure. Glad I could help.

 

This one did take a while. And it was the shipping container that gave me the most trouble too. Though the blue truck was kind of a pain.

Hello Stellalune. I'm having some issues with this level.. not a problem with reflexes or anything.. but after running the first part, jumping over that pick up truck, through the house, and then on some horizontal poles that swing.. she cat walks the poles, jumps, climbs on top of the ledge and stops. Nothing happens. i can move, slide doesn't come, music stops, people keep pulling a guy on the roof over and over again.. lara looks around herself.. but nothing happens. I can't move forward...

any ideas about this glitch??

um.. never mind... I've downloaded your save on the beginning of the level.. took me 4 tries, and I've passed it. My save was obviously glitched...

@ChILd_ReBoRn I can't see the picture, but I'm glad you were able to work it out. :)

 

Found this sequence quite difficult, she seemed to fail on certain actions even though I was fairly sure I had it right.  It's the two sequences, running through flood and landslide, that put me off "Deadly Obsession", I didn't want to get so frustrated that I'd end up on a YouTube clip.

For me part of the difficulty was that the timing is different than prior Tomb Raider games, with SOTTR, Lara has to react earlier than what I would expect to hazards, while in prior games, Lara generally had to wait until the last moment before reacting to hazards. The other thing is SOTTR continues the tradition of Lara being able to magically turn mid-air during a jump or drop, something that goes all the way back to TR1.

 

Hi Stella or the other heroes.

may I ask you for help as well? I am pretty frustrated and cannot do it. If anybody could get me through it would be much appreciated. I have attached my latest save file. Is it possible to modify it?

Many thanks.

Regards,

Heya, @Kiwi-Frank. Welcome to the forums! Here's your save after the mudslide. Good luck going forward. Feel free to post here if you run into any more trouble.

Hi Stella, thanks very much. I will test it tomorrow.

-> Tested and it is working.

Game drives me sometimes nuts. I am on easy level....

Edited April 30, 20197 yr by Kiwi-Frank

this was probably the trickiest bit in the game as it's consistently difficult and is the one that really put me off trying Deadly Obsession, I pictured myself getting more and more and more annoyed and breaking 3000 worth of console and TV and thought . . . I can live without a few Xbox gamer points

I wish the developers had put an option to skip if you repeat a sequence more than 10 times or something. After 50 tries or so it basically ruins the fun and I'd rather just shelve the game and move onto something that would actually be fun, rather than waste half an hour doing the same boring thing over and over and over.

Yeah lol How about enemies that just keep on coming and coming. I was playing a survivor is born and was shooting forever and was disgusted.

It wasn't how many you bad guys you decaffeinated but how many in a short period of time. First time I ran into that and really frustrating.

I can understand why some people give up sometimes but it just means 50 times you didn't figure it out. I YouTube it sometimes and go oh yeah lol.

I'm chiming in as well! I won't admit how many times I've tried this landslide business only to fail each time. Let's just say it's been months and then I shelved the game a few more months only to want to come back and try again - to no avail. I am a Mac user so getting a save to move on might be more difficult to obtain, but I don't know. I also don't know how that's even possible with such a huge game! Does one download their entire game so far up to the stuck point? I'm clueless on that. I'm so close to the end, I figure one more chapter. I'd really like to complete this but I've had it with the landslide and if I hear, "Bad bad bad bad bad" again, I'll scream! lol. Thanks for any help...

 

I found this article  It says if it's a .dat file it might work.  with Windows saves to mac Save files here . I'd back up the files before you experiment.
