Hi,

I'm really loving this game but sometimes the fun can end when you're really stuck so lets provide some assistance in this thread.

im stuck on the first level, i have a big mechanism with three floor tiles - two open the cogs the other the door, how do i get all three to stay open? :confused:

There are three monkey cages, on the left hand side there is a "seesaw" that you can use to flip the monkey cages up so that you can use them press down on the floor tiles.

Also make sure you jump off the central walkway onto the see saw to give the crates enough 'launch' :p

Oh, and the crates only have to be on the see-saw a small amount, I actually got stuck there for a while because I didn't think they were on properly due to sliding down.
 
If you are facing away from the door you just open (at the back of the room) there is a chain on the right hand side, jump onto the chain and then onto a ledge and work your way around (I'm having to do this from memory as I'm at work).

just got stuck on the same part :) I think I should be able to do it now, I couldnt figure out you could see saw the boxes up onto the top level.

I had the exact same thing, it was a "oooohhhh" moment when it flipped up.

sorry i should say i have managed to get the cages up and open the door... how do i get up to the door!!!

That bit was rather simple, I believe on the left (looking at the door) there's a chain, jump on that, off that onto a crack in the wall, it follows all the way around to the door.

Then again, I've been wrong again. If you look you will see a crack in the wall.
 
Ok im stuck at the bit right after you open the middle door, climb up the chain, make your way around to the door via the platforms on level one. when i run through the door the floor opens up left and right and you have to run forward. there is a blue arrow that points down. doesnt matter what i do here i always die. Any help?

If its the bit i think you mean you need to copy the onscreen arrows with the d-pad so if it shows an arrow pointing down then press down on the pad.Bit like the cut scenes in RE4 if youve played it.
 
listen to what they say to you at the start, even tells you what to do


Go round and activate the 4 wall switches which unlock the central artifact - then get into machine in middle and shoot all four tesla coils (ball things) and complete the circuit. Then get off the machine and grapple the artifact above you.

takes about 2min to do, its very easy and can do it without even being hit

Now I remember why I hated the Tomb Raider games. Miss a jump, fall down and then make my way back up again.

Frustrating but really enjoyed the demo. Tempted to make a purchase.

yeah but in this one which makes it all to easy, if you die you start from where the last checkpoint is and there is simply to many per room, in previous games checkpoints was few and far between. Think they done it to make story flow better.
 
I'm on Bolivia still......

Stuck in a room with 3 rotating evil spikey looking things......She grabs on to them and they do a quarter turn......Obviously there's a seqeunce to this but i've tried everything i think......I must be missing a ledge somewhere?......

I can see where i think i'm meant to be heading but having no luck......

:(

It wasn't working at first, restarted game and it was fine :).
 
Has anyone tried any of the time trials yet?

I have only completed the normal level of Bolivia and then thought I would gibe the time trial a go. Well you get 12:30 minutes and I am can get nowhere near the end! I can just about get through the door of the large room where you have to place the three crates on the switches to release the door. There is quite a bit to do past that and I just can't work out how one could possibly do it?!
 
I am stuck in the room with the big screen, I thought, and the walkthrough guide confirmed, that once I have pulled the screen down, I should shoot the supports off to make it fall down ..... only trouble is I cant seem to get the so called "accurate shoot" mode to hit the things .. I cant see were the bullets are hitting when its near the angles, because Lara gets in the way !
Anyone know how to aim or see something ?
