Chapter VI: Not the Rabbits, Not The Bees Climbing Struggle

[egghole]

I'm in the ice caves. I've almost back at the surface, but I have to climb a surface and somehow do a 180 jump to the other surface to continue. I cannot seem to do this. The game never taught me how to do 180 jumps, only lateral jumps. What is the trick?

It's a bit counter intuitive.
You need to hang on, look at where you want to jump, then press the key for climbing down [s] and jump.

Thankksss for this! I would have never guessed it... they should have added that in the climbing "tutorial"

[lowmagnet]

yeah, even knowing how to "back-eject" (as tomb-raider calls it) does not guarantee you'll get hooked on the opposite wall. I think it needs a patch.

Thank you, Bird_Dog. Counter-intuitive indeed, I wouldn't have pressed down to jump across otherwise ...

"back eject" with a controller is quite tricky.

1. hang on with both axes
2. look in the direction you want to jump
3. hold full down on the left stick
4. press jump (a) twice
5. grab on with both axes as you hit the target surface

Took a while to figure this out!

damn, i tried it so many times, searching here, read your text --> boom first try :D ty

FYI you don't actually have to "look" back all it is is gold the down keu press jump

and indeed a tool tip is required there its the only part i ever got stuck on because lets be honest holding the button to go downwards is not something most people will think of is the button to 180 jump

I am stuck at the very beginning of this chapter. I can't move.

cOoklesan,

If I recall correctly, you start out in a rover and drive to the overlook where you can see the Odum facility. After a cut scene (where you throw the red case into the valley), you must first "F" (scan) the facility and report back; then you must "F" (scan) to the right building where you see a light and then finally "F" (scan) the cable car and declare it unsafe and note you must find another way down.

This will unlock movement and you can turn around and exit to a gap in the guard rails to your right and start finding a path down.

I found in another thread the nuance that I needed. Hang on with both pickaxes, then at the same time, Release both and press S and Jump

Yes! Thank you!
