They did. This is also pre patch so some of the ceiling that you see in here is now gone, I was just going through the level for my secret video and they opened it up in a lot of places.
Your videos have helped me alot. Your movents are so elegant and precise 😂 im still getting used to the controls. Used to play these as a kid loved them. Im 37 now wanted a bit of nostalgia.
Yeah I loved these as a kid too. Do you use modern or tank controls? I use tank controls and the D-Pad which makes it feel just like the old games. Then muscle memory basically came back.
@TheHiaira haha I switch between the 2 but d pad is actually feeling better to use it's just remembering to use it . I get what u mean with the muscle memory. Loving the game so far I think 3 was always my favorite looking forward to getting onto that one
Yup. When the developers put it up there, they thought it was reachable. When testers discovered they couldn’t reach it, they left it there as a joke. That’s when Jason McAllister came along and discovered the glitch to get up there. I’m glad they left it in and even have an achievement to get to it.
This level took me 3hrs!!! My average time per level has been around 2hrs. I cannot move forward 20 steps without consulting a walkthrough. Cannot believe how difficult these original TR games are. I blast through the modern ones with a breeze, no help needed.
It’s really been great to see how different time periods of gamers have been with this game. One of the main reasons I started these walkthroughs was because a friend who had never played games back in the 90’s was like “Mrs H I do not know how to get through these levels.” He found it very challenging at first and not in a good way. Now that he is beginning to understand the grid system and controls better he is beginning to enjoy the challenges. For me, coming back to this has been like muscle memory however I can see where people more used to modern games will find these difficult. Give yourself some time and you’ll start to see where you will be getting through levels easier.
I loved figuring out the 5 switches, absolutely brilliant! No hints anywhere, just stuff to do and things to try. Went to the video to see if there was any trick to get past the fire pillars, and all i saw was that there's no trick. The only thing i needed to do was play the game better. Took a few tries to line up all the jumps with the d-pad, i'm on PS1.
@@TheHiairaold school hard, this is that era, they really stayed true to that because they could've added hints or a skip puzzle option like other remasters have done
I think I understand why you didn't do the second room after the first one. In Palace Midas, there are 3 doors you have to go above aqueduct the one above the aqueduct and that takes the longest to get the lead bar so you probably did the two easy trials first.
Yes, it keeps you from backtracking so much if you do the other two first and then that one. Once you complete that one you can go straight to the garden without having to backtrack for the other two.
@@darkego123 lol. It was a mistake by the developers who left it there because they thought it was reachable. This glitch was discovered by Jason McAllister.
I'm very confused, how is anybody supposed to know in what order to pull the levers and which door will open, also how are you supposed to know what to do, because everything is so specific, the game doesn't even give you a hint.
@@mrMoneybags-x6i So above each door to be opened are five symbols. You’ll notice there are technically two Greek symbols: Y (Upsilon) and Ω (Omega). So with this in mind you would test out the five levers to see which one means up and which means down. So they do give hints they are just very vague, I remember figuring this out with no internet back in the day. Lol
@@TheHiaira wow, it's funny games I used to play back then, when games were actually challenging, I'm surprised I actually made any progress, I guess my brain became lazy over the years and I relied too much on constant hints and yellow paint lol
@@mrMoneybags-x6i That's not a bad thing. These types of old-school hard games and puzzles frustrated people back in the day. A lot of these puzzles, nobody liked because they were thatso hard.
I'm sorry to hear that. It could be a recent problem with the newest update. Did you try going back and forth between new graphics and old graphics to see if maybe it was popping up on one?
That door switch behind the tree is a piss take
i really liked the details on the columns here: 18:55 they did a good work eheh

@@TheHiaira wow didn't know it! thank you 🙂
@@Darklatinus Yeah it’s pretty cool to see the changes they have made the last patch like that.
Thanks for the video. I was stuck because I didn't know you had to turn the bars into golden bars to use them..
@@freshamero3834 glad it helped!

I like how you took out that 1st crocodile...very nice move.❤❤🔥🔥
Thanks!
this helped sm but still I took an hour💀💀
You’ll get faster as you proceed!
Took an hour and a half 😂
Is that reach / jump at 4:25 a glitch or something?? I was trying to figure out how to get up there for ages!!!

atleast you are getting your moneys worth for what is supposed to be a "17 hour game"

You may be surprised to learn that the symbols above the door are actually hints as to how the switches should be positioned to open them. 😉
I figured that out, but there wasn't anything pointing it out. No hints about it.
@ ah gotcha. That’s the thing I love about these games though, no hand holding like most modern games.

How to back jump while standing? I can't get it done. Not even the side jumps. Wasn't a problem with PS1 but can't move in the remastered version
Are you using modern controls? I have heard it’s an issue with those. I use tank controls and haven’t had any issues with directional jumps.
@@TheHiaira yep I am. But I did find a turnaround and now it's working better. Not as good as you, of course 😅

They should've remastered tomb raider IV also.
@@hectorferla5612 I agree, I hope after the success of this they do.
Hey guess what
