Merry Xmas and Happy holidays to you Suzanne, Frederick, Binxi and everybody watching ! Sharing with all of you the best vibes, infusing my monitor with lots of positivity ! 🥰😂 I love this level so much too ! It's definitely an improvement upon the already beloved level in TR1 ! 😍🥰
Totally with you on the grapple jump in this section! The worst part about eventually making it is not realizing what you did differently to make it work!
They really outdid themselves with the challenges in this level, the Atlas challenge made me hyperventilate, and the sounds I made yesterday (after not playing for years) in the Damocles challenge every time a sword caught me by surprise and killed me. My brain was so fried when I was finally through it haha
I've always loved this level too. And this was a great version of it. The wall swing back jump on to the pillar in the Damocles room here is always tricky, so well done on doing it Suzanne 👏 And Merry Christmas to you, Frederick & Binxsy 🎄🎅🎄
Yayy, I could see you having so much fun with this level! I think this is the only level in Anniversary which is better than its TR1 version imo 😎 And also, loved the Atlas and Damocles Room deaths 😂😂😂 And of course, your story and explanations amazing as alwayss, and I especially love how you're comparing and constrasting Anniversary with TR1 regarding all the differences 😌 Merry Christmas! ✨✨🥳🎄
I played the first two Survivor games and, while waiting for the third, I played Anniversary (not understanding that playing Legend first would have given me experience with the controls). Because of that, the South American level was struggle for me, and it wasn't until Saint Frances Folly that I really started to enjoy myself. I must admit, the Damcoles room is my favorite. All the firigging swords in the ceiling dropping down was just so much fun for me. It's just so over the top! Anyway Suzanne, I enjoyed watching you play this morning. Happy Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas Suzanne🎉 I hate those jumps away from the wall while rope swinging, I remember rage quitting multiple times in the last level of the game where you have to do multiple of them on a timer, absolute furyyyy!!!
Merry Christmas, Suzanne! This level is probably one of the harder ones, at least to me. I liked the scene with Pierre, making him all mysterious, as a nod to his ability to magically disappear after each fight jn the original. Brings the giggles.
Merry Christmas! Hope you and your family had a fantastic holiday! I enjoyed this level back when I first played it as well! Nearly every room is recreated/reimagined to be more visually ambitious and challenging without sacrificing/butchering everything. Only thing they left out was the crocodile pool, (and I laughed when you gleefully cheered for its absence!) 😅 I have too much nostalgia for the original to say that I like this remake version better, but if someone said they like TRA's Folly better, I wouldn't disagree with them! Either way, This level is how you do a remake/reimagining the right way! If only certain subsequent levels followed this blueprint...
Merry Christmas, Suzanne! 💖🎄🎁 And man, as much as this game holds a special place in my heart, I will always prefer the og game's version of Damocles' room because adding floor swords was too much for me to handle. In fact, it was that room that stopped me from completing the game as a kid, and I didn't go back to finish it until I was an adult 😂
The absolute irony Suzanne that you don’t like Anniversary that much (whereas I love it) and your favourite level so far is my least favourite level out of this entire game! 😂😭💀 That tower structure is an absolute nightmare mate! I would happily take the Egypt or Lost Island levels than take on St. Francis Folly! The amounts of times I’ve died from jumping to the wrong places and getting lost trying to reach the trap rooms whilst navigating that obsolete tower is unreal! 😂😩💀
Haha that is very ironic 😅🙈 I really enjoyed having to jump around and try and figure out the way to get to each place! I thought it worked really well, but I do get how the constant falling would get really annoying also 😂❤️
Babyyyyy, one thing about Lara Croft; SHE STANDS ON BUSINESS!!!!! She says what she means and means what she says!!!!! 0:54 and onwards is the epitome of a woman NOT to be fucked with!!!!! 😍🔥
Well now you explained all the reasons why I love this level and game in general. There are several things that needs to be mentioned here and it will be a bit long, so please bear with me. 1) The symbol you saw at 1:17 is known as Vergina's star or sun and it was the symbol of the Macedonians ( a Greek race). 2) I already mentioned what happened to Medusa in the Croft Manor and here you see her fate. She was beheaded by Perseas, who was the son of the Danae( she was the daughter of the King of Argos, Akrisius) and Zeus, so he was considered a demigod. This is actually a constellation and depicts the scene, where Perseas fled with her head after beheading her. 3) There are some trivia about poseidon and Hepheastus ( for Poseidon there was a competition with the goddess Athena on who would become the Protector of the City of Athens. Poseidon offered to the Athenians his horses, whereas Athena offered an Olive oil tree and since this provided much more utility, it was decided that Athena would be the protector of Athens, thus the name. As for Hepheastus, he created the weapons of the gods and was in a relationship at some point with Afrodite, the goddess of love). 4) the name is pronounced Hefaestus and ends with - stus not - sius ( I know it was a bit difficult to pronounce so I understand you) Congratulations on your wedding and I wish you both, as well as all of the community Merry Christmas.
Ooh I agree with you. This is a much better layout! I love how they expanded the challenges and them more, y'know, challenging and with changes to the names as well, nice little detail (although yes, Zeus would have made much more sense, but hey). Even an Indiana Jones reference with the Atlas room! Ah, that was cool. If only the controls weren't riddled with jank. You'd think by 2007 they'd understood how to make good jumping controls. But still, really fun level and really fun to watch you! 😊 now let's see if the rest of the game is decent.
About how to do the jumps while grapple wall running - the direction you jump is determined by the direction you move the analog stick relative to the camera - it is not relative to where Lara is facing. ie if the platform you want to jump to is on the left of the screen move the analog stick to the left and and Lara will jump towards the left of the screen regardless of what direction she was looking at the time you press the jump button. Once you know this, with practice it is possible to jump in the direction you intend to reliably - it is just not really explained in game very well.
I loved how you combined Hephaestus and Theseus into one merged pronunciation 🤣 Hephaestus is more like HefesTus. He ( as in he the pronoun) phaest (as in fest , festivities etc) us (as in how you already said it). I am not one to complain about pronunciations as they can be tricky, I know, but this one was like not just off but a fully made up name that you said at this point , sorry 😅 It was rough. You said it like Hefecious (I don't know if you were thinking of delicious 😅) You did nail all the other pronunciations of the greek names though🥰 (to soften my judgement 🤣) And with this comment I would also like to wish you merry Christmas !! (after judging you for the pronunciation 🤣🤣🤣 sorry)
Haha 😂 sometimes I’ll just make up a pronunciation in my head and think “that sounds good, I’ll go with that” 😂😂😂 So sorry to have butchered it so badly 😅💔 Happy Christmas to you too! I hope you have an amazing holiday 🥰❤️❤️❤️
This and the obelisk are my fav levels from TRA but especially St Francis Folly is just pure perfection ❤ Edit: In Hephaestus room in order to not get electrocuted you have to stand on the platforms that lower cause if you stand on the platforms that go up you get hit by lightning 😭
I loved playing this with a infinite health cheat 😅 it's so much easier for getting down from that... stone... tower... sculpture thingy with the Gods chambers😍
well. happy xmas! oh yeah. Pierre in this version is not very good when it comes to that electric room i always run through it 😆 that atlas globe really took you some time huh 😆 those grappling hook sections are not that bad when you master the controls
Happy Christmas to you too 🥰 haha the Atlas Globe was just kicking my butt 😅 I don’t think I’ll ever master those grapple controls, but I will keep trying 😂❤️
I thought of bellybutton as well 😅 The Atlas montage 😂Lara rag dolling was hilarious. Lot of good shorts to be made out of this video. The grapple wall run sucks so bad. It’s why I kinda stopped at the manor for awhile and just played other stuff. Not looking forward to that either. Merry Christmas (early) 🎄 Suzanne. Only thing I’d like to have seen in this level would be the lions at the bottom. Pierre can (as you say) feck off :P but it just feels anticlimactic in comparison.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought belly button 😂❤️ haha I will be getting back to making shorts soon, I have so much back up to get through, but the Atlas room will absolutely be a short 😂😂😂 ye I hate grapple runs and jumps, they’re so annoying and difficult. They’re a huge reason why I dislike this game 😩 Happy Christmas to you too 🥰❤️
I like TR Anniversary (I don't care much for the latest TR trilogy tbh, they're mid at best) but the original version of these levels are objectively better.
I wish you Suzanne, Frederick, this community, Larson and even Dr. Willard a merry Christmas and a healthy 2025!
Merry Xmas and Happy holidays to you Suzanne, Frederick, Binxi and everybody watching !
Sharing with all of you the best vibes, infusing my monitor with lots of positivity ! 🥰😂
I love this level so much too ! It's definitely an improvement upon the already beloved level in TR1 ! 😍🥰
Between the winking to get your contact lens back in and the bellybutton on his back, this level had me howling looool 😂
I think I was malfunctioning in this one 😂❤️
perfect balance of puzzles and fun without forgetting pierre another magnificent scene I loved it👍
Totally with you on the grapple jump in this section! The worst part about eventually making it is not realizing what you did differently to make it work!

And Merry Christmas to you, Frederick & Binxsy 🎄🎅🎄
My favorite level in this game! It's so beautiful and intricate
Anniversary is such an underrated gem, I really love how it also fleshes out the story of TR1 more, I would love to have a similar take on TR2
Yayy, I could see you having so much fun with this level! I think this is the only level in Anniversary which is better than its TR1 version imo 😎 And also, loved the Atlas and Damocles Room deaths 😂😂😂
And of course, your story and explanations amazing as alwayss, and I especially love how you're comparing and constrasting Anniversary with TR1 regarding all the differences 😌

I never did like swinging and jumping using the grappling hook in this game. Merry Laramas! 🥳🥳🥳
