so i bought the original tr for ps a week ago and have been playing it again and remembering all the good times lara and i had back during the first time i played through it. it's been all fun and games until this morning.

i'm on tomb of tihocan. i'd gotten pretty far into the level, where you slide down the big slide into a giant lake and flip some switches to open the actual tomb. i killed the first centaur and then went inside. pierre ambushed me and i shot him down. then i went back outside the tomb to activate the second centaur, whom i dispatched also. on the ps version there's a save crystal outside the tomb. having done quite a bit since the last crystal, i saved here and was happy to do so. i then returned to pierre.

flippin pierre! when he keeled over he actually fell INTO the stairs that lead up to the pedestal where he took the scion fragment. so i can't get the scion or the key from him! aaarrrggghhhh! i'm gonna have to do the whole level over again. so weak.

[Endow]

Ah but it's one of the best levels in the game!:D

[Laras Backpack]

Damn! Bad luck Stereopathic!! :(
But as Endow wrote-it's a great level.

[Pablo.CT]

Thats 2 Bad

[Tomb Raider Master]

That's bad. :(

[stereopathic]

oh well. like y'all said, it's a great level. i've had my outburst. now it's back to it!!

[stereopathic]

oh this is good. i got to the room where you come up out of the water and there's spikes in the floor and a lion there. i got the lion and shot the two gorillas lurking upstairs from safety before using the save crystal and climbing up. i lept across the hole (now above the same spikes) to a crevase on the wall. i should be able to traverse right to pull up into an alcove but she's sticking on the tile and can't shimmy far enough to get up there. goodie. i get to start the level over again. 8( are these bugs in the other playstation versions, too? mine is the one that comes with a demo for TR2 and ninja. what about the pc? y'all ever run into these kinds of things?

[Neteru]

I really can't think where you are from your description, but this sticking whilst hanging can sometimes occur. I usually find that releasing the action button and pressing it again quickly (before she drops) is enough to unstick her.

[stereopathic]

got it neteru! thanks!

[Neteru]

Good, but did you do what I suggested or something else?

[stereopathic]

there was a switch that i forgot to flip in the hall that the lion runs out of. when you flip this switch (which opens a door in the alcove), the tile, though unobstructed by the door, becomes passable. it'd be nice if i didn't have to fall into the spikes to realize this.

but you still deserve my thanks for trying to help with sound advice.

[Neteru]

... it'd be nice if i didn't have to fall into the spikes to realize this.LOL, yeah, bummer that eh? :D
