Cant Pass This DAM Bit

[lara_lover999]

i am stuck in the bit in atlantis
on the third ledge above the larva where you are making your way up 2 natla
the ledge where u shoot the thing and kill the 2 mutents
then u have like 18 secs to pole swing and graple 2 the next ledge
i have tried and tried but still cant pass
i am using the cheat way (where u just run straight 2 the grapple swing and skip the poles)
i run and jump usally make the graple (but also often miss)
i struggle with getting lara 2 stop swinging and climb up higher
then as i am running out of time fast i make her swing, jump and then slide
somtimes i manage 2 catch the second grapple point but by the time i am starting the second swing the ring goes in and i fall
i have been at it 4 eva

im so sorry to sound like a prude or something, but really, you CAN do it, practise is the key :tmb:

[Drone]

it's the most interesting part in atlantis!!!

[MrBear]

it's the most interesting part in atlantis!!!

if by interesting you mean I-just-wanna-kill-myself!!-aargh, then sure ;)

but yeah, just keep trying and eventually you'll make it.. but I'd also recommend regular breaks :)

edit: I actually found it easier to do it the 'normal way'.. but that could just be me..

[NightWish]

yes this is an incredibly hard place. I was really frustarated too. But you just have to keep trying - there ar no tips that can help

[Drone]

nothing really hard. just don't stop and don't let lara spin around poles so 18 seconds is enough.I did it within 15 or 16

[Mytly]

This is a very frustrating bit, and it will definitely take some patience and trial and error to do correctly. However, here's a tip that might make it slightly easier: remember that the timer starts when you shoot the target to make all eight symbols light up - but it resets once you shoot it to light them all up again. So once you kill the mutants, take your time to set up your next jump, check out which path you are planning to take, and position yourself accordingly (for example, if you are taking the cheat route, then position yourself on the diagonal edge of the platform squarely facing the grappling ring). Then shoot the targets again, immediately holster your guns and start jumping.

[michaeldt]

that part is really hard when you first play it. but then you get the hang of it :)

[Tthe Spirit]

This is the most frustrating place.
I have been trying it in Time Trial for many times and still couldnt finish it on time because of this place.
But yes, it needs many trials.

[bloodstormaoa]

I don't recall either Dams or larvae in Atlantis :rolleyes:

[superduperme123]

I don't mean to be stupid but do you re-shoot the target after killing the mutants. I always thought it was the mutants that were the problem not the wall run and swings, i thought that was easy. I always fell off the ledge while killing the mutants but the other was simple. Im on ps2 so maybe its easier to control

[Cog]

Same here (on PC). Avoiding the damn fireballs is the problem. Having to do a back jump from the wall run appeared to be only a minor hindrance as i re-played the level again. And i didn't use the shortcut.

It's not just you...I found the original way easier as well.

Keep on keeping on! You'll get it!

Yes, reshoot the target after you've killed the mutants. I don't think it's possible to do it in the time otherwise

[Anubis_AF]

You might think you're not close enough to grab the opposite ledge, whilst wallrunning, but most of the times you are.

[jagged halo]

I hated this so much it made me scream. I kept trying and trying, then realised that I was throwing the grapple too late after I'd swung from the pole. The trick is to throw it straight after you jump, I reckon.

[mrkaplan]

I find the one where you can avoid the poles and go for the shortcut the hardest. Going the pole route I fail every time, and the shortcut I fail at least 2 goes in 3.

I shoot the target, shoot the mutants, reshoot the target and then leap at it. The grapple comes out almost immediately after the leap, but you're still aiming at very little.

Yeah, I don't think CD quite understood about when we asked for a challenging thing. They didn't make it challenging AND fun, they made it hard enough to get you swearing at the T.V!! :vlol:
They need to work on that

Oh thank God.

I thought it was just me.

I'm still trying to get through. Thank goodness I have a two week Christmas New Year break coming up.

OT Hey love the Christmas emoticons ;)

The Great Pyramid levels are NOT easy. But i think it really takes practise: you'd know when to move, where to move etc then we REALLY become lara & the runs become routine & 1 day we'd make it in time...man it sounds so sappy! :p

yep i love the Xmas emoticons. very festive :tmb:

Ah, sappy but accurate - I took the same approach with the Centaurs and the jumping-to-poles-while-avoiding-the-blades-and-slamming-walls bits. I practiced until I got the timing right - the rest was muscle memory after that.

If I find myself frustrated I simply turn off the game do something else and then come back to it when I was in a better frame of mind.

I have to say though - thank goodness there are check points at each platform!

muscle memory...i was too sappy to think of that! :p true, once you get the hang of it, you'd find it easy because it becomes routine, really :wve:

Thank goodness we don't need to do that for real :D :jmp:

[Eddie Guerrero12]

To be honest I never found this part hard.

[cristina8992]

To be honest I never found this part hard.

Ditto. When I first played that part, I already knew how hard people said it would be, but it took me 3 tries and I did it. I couldn't help but ask out loud: "That was it?":p
But really, you just need to focus and don't get nervous. Staying calm really helps.
Good luck!:hug:

[Nora Charles]

Amen to that!

[rowanlim]

OMG im so grateful for the checkpoints...else i'd be in a mental hospital now :wve:
