This level did feel criminally under beta-tested to be honest. It was nightmarishly hard, and not in a fun FromSoftware kind of way. In the type of way that makes you want to pull your hair out.
I've just turned my PS2 off as I cannot be bothered to try the climb again for the 50th time today. It's almost random if she makes the jumps or not haha! I also thought in Natlas mines, when you are swinging from rope to rope - that can't have been scrutinised in testing much as SO MANY TIMES I just flew straight through the rope instead of grabbing it. Ugh. I really do prefer the OG on PS1.
I'm living this hell THIS YEAR, THIS MONTH hahahaha, playing Anniversary for the very first time. I just can't pass the second retracting ledge. It's the jumps and grappling the two rings what is driving me crazy.
Level design is not a problem. This level was interestingly designed. The problem is the controls and camera. You never know for which side Lara will jump. The controls change according to the camera's position. Feels like gambling. BTW I am also here after dying from the nth time in that lava pit.
I can’t even begin to tell you how pissed off I was with this shit level. With the other bad levels in the game there was always at least a small part I enjoyed or liked, with this level there are genuinely no redeeming parts of it.
make this shit look like a cake walk.....meanwhile I've been stuck trying to make it up the pyramid without falling to my death for the 1000th time...smh
I hate this fucking game so much, but I just can't give up being this close to the end. The second I beat this game I uninstall it immediately. I've never raged this hard in my life.
This level is practically impossible on steam. The camera angles fuck with how and where lara jumps towards. I wanted to slap tf out of my lap top and spike my controler as hard as I can to the tile floor. No way in hell this guy did this his first time. Probably took forever to make this video.
4:33 You Make it look So Easy. When it Not Easy. It Very frustrating. I Have This Game on PS2 and I am on level The Great Pyramid. This level it is Very hard.
@@jackw1014 I hear you. Sometimes she makes it but 75% of my tries, she just hits the lip, stumbles and falls into the lava. Then you have to go through the fight again, and again, and again haha.
4:30.. all throughout my playthrough of this on PS3.. I meshed really well with sliding off slippery stuff like this off poles and platforming off them. I managed this in one go (I did accidentally jump right off stupidly off the platform though... I forgot how to jump) because for whatever reason, I managed to perfect (most of the time) this style platforming.. I worried about the end a bit, but I managed. I tried the shortcut I heard about but it broke my brain trying to piece it together from videos. My issues were wall run grapples and specific platforming off them.. But not in moments like this apparently.. I got really lucky.. I wasn't as smooth as you were off the poles (probably cause I was panicking) but I usually am.. Got past it one go somehow..
@@tartancroft ahhh, i was wondering, because you didnt skiped it in the video, now i understand, thank you! very cool that you still answer on these old videos!
Oh well, I can see I'm not the only one who has/had/having a greeeeat deal of trouble with this FUCKINGLY ANNOYING level! I've lost count of my failed attempts already.
Forgive my harshness but this really is cobblers - it hasn't improved on the original game in any way, it's overloaded with pointless extra detail and additions and I'd hazard that playing Lara in this rehash must be very frustrating, control-wise. Just my opinion; I haven't played any computer game seriously since Spider-Man 2: Enter Elektro.....
I'm not really too qualified to comment on the Tomb Raider sequels, relaunches, anniversary editions, reboots and whatnot but I found watching this video underwhelming. The puzzle quotient has been amped up considerably but I did like the idea of the lava rising up underneath the big platform where, in the first game back in 1996 (!) you fought the big Torso monster.

I think they beta tested it, then instead of altering the level, they just slapped more checkpoints in and called it a day
I play this on psp, my question was "who the fuck tested this", he should not be a tester ever again

this level is probably worst level in game history
It is. and Very hard and frustrating. It worst then Any other levels of this game.

It's easy to succeed if you down(Back) the L3 stick the moment you grab the second pole.
I literally uninstalled the game over this BS at 4:30.
As mentioned in Renato Nogueira's comment, I suggest you try this approach as well. th-cam.com/video/objoDnoXRZs/w-d-xo.html
@@tartancroft I can only make the first jump about 1/3 of the time, much less do all the swingy stuff.
@@jackw1014 I hear you. Sometimes she makes it but 75% of my tries, she just hits the lip, stumbles and falls into the lava. Then you have to go through the fight again, and again, and again haha.
@@jackw1014 you skip this mission easily i have a link bro
and of course a checkpoint before the enemy's spawn very good idea and great game design 😂
"Talk about being your own worst enemy" really cracked me up, I had forgotten she says that in Anniversary.
4:30 nice moves! I can get out of here to the poles, but I can’t back in time. And I’ve been stuck at this checkpoint for a few months 🤣🤣🤣
If you can't make it in time, there is another way.

I legitimately broke a TV screen as a kid trying to complete this
09:40 this is madness
Great, now for the Final Conflict!
Have the people who find this difficult ever played TR 3?
which cutscene do i have to skip to get 22 kills? only got 21
Skip the cutscene starting at 0:52. Then, the Cat Mummy that appears at 2:00 will appear and 22 of them will appear.
@@tartancroft ahhh, i was wondering, because you didnt skiped it in the video, now i understand, thank you! very cool that you still answer on these old videos!
Camerawork in this level is atrocious.

what the version this is?

after 100 trys i delete the game this level isn't possible for me 🤷🏻♂️

Stick to Mah Jongg, the big Torso monster is in the next level Final Conflict LOL
