Devs dont the qa team probally did and lack of documentation prob didnt help them the devs only do a test around that region other factors can bring in bugs this was hell
The play testers didn't say anything. This puzzle should have had more prompts. Didn't even know I could swing on the golden piece. Usually you get hits for these but this was the only puzzle I was completely lost
@@senkkella7664 Well, according to the views on this video, the other comments and the likes on my comment, I do not seem to be the only one who was frustrated by this riddle. Based on your style of writing you seem to be the little one and not me... Using words and phrases without even thinking what they actually mean
When you've got 273.000 human beings looking up how to beat what is a main-game mandatory-puzzle - you've officially screwed up. Only thing worse is the incinerator room puzzle in Resident Evil Biohazard - which has close to 1 million views last time I checked. Screw designers who pull this. Completely ruins the flow of the game. EDIT: @Gregorioooooo First of all - in the span of the 4 months since I made my original comment - this video has gained an additional 33.000 views. Regardless of your belief system - our brains aren't wired/designed/evolved to comprehend numbers on this scale. 100 human beings? That we can envision. 1000? Lined up or clumped together? Definitely harder. 100.000? Now we're beyond the breaking point. Way beyond it. God or evolution - or something else entirely - the point remains: 100.000 human beings is an astonishing number to consider. 100.000 human beings. They're all from somewhere - they've all got their own personalities, life-experience - so on and so forth. We're talking 306,363 views on this video - as of me writing this. Why am I even replying to you? Because as it happens - Shadow of the Tomb Raider just got added to Game Pass for PC - and I'm playing it. Twice I've had to fire up TH-cam - and in both instances/puzzles - which are both main-game/mandatory aka unavoidable - the videos have 453.000 and 340.000 views - respectively. I didn't forget this section - nor the comment I left on it - so curiosity got the better of me - because I wanted to know how much it'd gained view-count-wise - since then. And boy - I wasn't disappointed. My original point stands: when you've got hundreds of thousands of human beings looking up a solution to a puzzle in what is a mandatory section of your video game - your game design sensibilities should insta-net you a written notice IRL. I would be nothing short of HORRIFIED - regardless of my capacity on a project like this - if someone where to inform me that 306.363 human beings felt a section of a mandatory part of the experience was so frustrating - that they were willing to de-immersify themselves by firing up TH-cam to figure out what they were supposed to do. How do I know this? Because - this particular section occurs extremely late in the game. Isn't it the final chapter in the game? So - the player got circa 90-95% of the way through the ENTIRE GAME - and yet - despite everything the game had thrown at them - still felt the design at this particular stage was so bad - that 306.363 of them got out of the game - to figure out how to just get through this part of it. That is an incredible achievement - and in all the worst of ways. I'm planning to do an entire video on this trend for my TH-cam channel later this year - and will be including instances from both this game and SOTTR. It is a trend that needs to stop. It breaks the entire flow of the experience. It doesn't make sense from a narrative POV - with all the action/climax peaking. I'll save the rest of my comments for the video I'm doing on the subject later this year. Oh - and by the way - like others have asked you: why are you here again @Gregorioooooo ?
I literally made this in five minutes lol, is just common sense and its super easy haha. Also the puzzle in re7 was easy too, i cant remember because i played that game a long time ago but wasnt a problem, sometimes yeah, the problem is the game but definitely not here
Dude shut up he had a point i also made it on time but running back and forth to test height before realizing water controls the height actually destroys the game flow.
Dear god, this puzzle is horrible. Even with your guide lol been on this for 3 hours lol she has exploding arrows, a shot gun, why is this puzzle even included at this point? lol thank you so much!
dawg I got stuck on this puzzle for so long that I stopped playing my copy of the game for two years, bought it on another system then caught up here AGAIN and still got stuck and had to look this up, crazy
*When you have this many people in the comments talking about the ridiculous puzzles this game made, you feel so vindicated. Do these companies even have Game Testers anymore? Or do they just assume us Gamers will instinctively know every thing they create? If those aren’t the options, the only remaining one is they want you to spend half your time on these puzzles as there is nothing memorable about this game that would make you want to take your time…*
As a reminder: after the puzzle you need to destroy the gate. I actually got stuck after doing the puzzle on my own cause i spent so much time doing it that i forgot about the gate. Then died several times trying to get to the objective without there existing a path to it. Shoot the gate with the trebuchet and then magically a rope post will appear that easily enables you to keep moving on.
Thanks I am having a blast with this game I beat the 2013 one for the first time in the series and I am new , you just need patience and focus and to hear what Lara is hinting at in theys games great video
This video does this puzzle in such a convoluted way. You can just attach the bucket, go back to the trebuchet side and do all the moving, then run around to get to the middle and swing over to break the ice.
I’m not an imbecile. I’m over 7 years old. I can tie my own laces. Time wasting shite like this isn’t fun. I love puzzles, but make them reasonable? Thanks for the help!
Almost stop playing because of these puzzle. Who in the name of ass can find this fun? Unnecessary and left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the game.
This the only shit in the game I had to look up what a load of shit puzzle my god I can’t believe that was the solution is there ever a moment when the devs play the game and think to themselves maybe this should not be in the game? I’m thoroughly enjoying it but god this one little puzzle pissed me the fuck off.
The year is 2022. I’m playing on Steam Deck. I knew I had to tie it to the bucket but didn’t know how to climb the tower. Then to try to save my intelligence I didn’t finish your video and spent 5 minutes not filling the bucket. Then filling it too much…
On mine it doesn’t even have the balance arm, it did but I think I fell and died on accident and now it won’t even show up. What do I do? I’ve restarted checkpoints several times, went to main menu and continue and still won’t show up. Talk about fucking bullshit
“Laura, trinity is breaching the lost city! There’s no time!”
me: fucks around with a bucket and rope arrows for an hour 😌
🖐️💀
FACTS
Real
Definitely left Zelda encounced in a burning Ganon infused demon pit for months.. If citizens want to be saved, they can call Spiderman.
I’m convinced the devs never play tested some of these puzzles
Devs dont the qa team probally did and lack of documentation prob didnt help them the devs only do a test around that region other factors can bring in bugs this was hell

cool thanks saved me some time figuring it out. this point in the game I ran out of patience with every annoying tedious puzzle
Yeah the worst part of this game is the godawful pacing towards the end
get good
@@bracksza Get good at what exactly? Solving pointless retarded puzzles made for brainless bums like you? Lmfao
Yeah, I'm sick of this now. From repetitive puzzles to the silly posh bitch forgetting to hang on. It just refuses too end.
Same
Thanks man this helped a lot I've been stuck on this part for hours
TopFlight1277 lets be honest we get this game from ps+😂
Me too!
This riddle is just unnecessary and stupid
Bruh u acting like u are 10. Just cuz u had problems with it u hate on it, grow up, pipe the fuck up little boy

I'm glad that I've waited so long to play this game. These puzzles are infuriating.

Thanks mate, totally flubbed it on filling the bucket! Wasted an hour running around, then gave up the tedium to find your fine solution!
It's not that I don't like puzzles, I just hate that this one is so convoluted and Lara can have like 3 different ways to blow up ice at this point.
I had the same thought, two years later lol
Thanks dear , i've been stuck here for 30 minutes 😅
definitely the dumbest and most convoluted puzzle on this game
You didn't even start where you show how she got up to the top.
Right 💁🏾♂️🤦🏽♂️ I figured I had to get up there to tether the end of it. But how TF you get up there
I’ve been searching this walkthru for some time. I had to search “just a bit higher” and it popped. Thanks 😂😂

Omg i forgot to shoot the gate and was stuck at this part. Thanks man
thanks, i couldn't find the rope to get back to the gate lol
This was torture. Thank you for easing our pain
holy hell there is 0.0 chance i would have ever figured that out on my own
glad i’m not the only one who was stuck on this
Thanks, my friend! That was doin' ma head in!! Onwards and upwards now...........
What a tediously obnoxious puzzle 🤣
There was no need for a puzzle at this stage of the game.
Thanks for this video, saved me a lot of irritation
Omg. THANKYOU!!!! I FELT LIKE SUCH A DUMMY 🤣
This game has the most infuriating puzzles omg thanks my guy
Thanks I am having a blast with this game I beat the 2013 one for the first time in the series and I am new , you just need patience and focus and to hear what Lara is hinting at in theys games great video
I can't thank you enough for helping to solve a psychic puzzle
Im a bit late for playing this game cause the new one coming out btw thanks man!👌🏿

great video, pointless, frustrating and absurd puzzle
thank you for making this short and sweet
I can't stand this fucking game these developers hav taken the piss they hav made it as hard as possible
On top of that the silly posh bitch refuses to hang on sometimes.
Thank you so much this drove me crazy
Wow. I was right the entire time. My dad won’t give me credit for figuring this one out.
This video does this puzzle in such a convoluted way. You can just attach the bucket, go back to the trebuchet side and do all the moving, then run around to get to the middle and swing over to break the ice.
tnx man
i don't know why i couldn't figure it out by myself

Ikr the puzzles are so bad, like amnesia level bad and that game is 11 yrs old and had a tiny budget.
I beat the game less than a year ago, and I couldn't remember any of this...
there’s different outcomes. not everyone finds the city
@@dooleh84 Because it was so unbearably annoying that your brain shut it out of your memory to spare you the pain of having to relieve the trauma.
@@MARKHENSTROM I remember it now, because I platinumed it, had to speedrun this crap.
Thanks a new to grab the ladder but no mater what a do I was missing the basket. It seems impossible to grab on to even with the bar
This shouldn't have taken me so long, But it did
thanks you are a good human
I guess I will never complete the game because I can't get the weight lined up with the ice
Thanks that saved me some time.
So after I did this on my own I can’t find the last tower to burn
Help
Thank you
Thanks homie!
Which now are you using
Thank you I was stuck for about twenty minutes
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you so much!! 🖤

Thank u bro, i help me.
God the first one was so much better.
This the only shit in the game I had to look up what a load of shit puzzle my god I can’t believe that was the solution is there ever a moment when the devs play the game and think to themselves maybe this should not be in the game? I’m thoroughly enjoying it but god this one little puzzle pissed me the fuck off.
You'd think the ice could be melt with fire arrows and many other ways, but no, not in this game.
whoever designed this puzzle needs to be fired, its not even interesting, just bothering.
Thanks ❤
