Hall Of Ascension - ridiculous arcade madness (solved)

it doesnt work at all like that. I saw another video where Lara stood on the edge of the platform , the one closer to the wall and the wind just pushed her exactly where you are supposed to get.

I tried both ways and it just doesnt fraking work.
I also tried jumping on the platform the moment the second window opens and the platform starts to move but failed miserably xx times. I've already wasted 1h+ and i cant beat this sh!te
And here i thought they finally got rid of these stupid arcade elements.

Any hints and suggestions?
I really love the game so far and i did hope that they got rid of these arcade elements from the previous parts.It seems they have not.
It has come to the point that i am on the verge of deleting it completely from my ssd
In my age i just cant cope with this f1cked up arcade madness like i used to when i was younger.

Oh man, I feel your pain. I just did this a minute ago. Took me forever. I don't think it matters when you jump on the platform, but it might. Once on the platform, wait until the very last possible second as the wind pushes it toward the wall and then jump toward the wall in the same direction. Lara should grab on. As the wind pushes the platform, it sort of dips making it seem like it is time to jump. WAIT a nano-sec and it'll pick up again. Then jump. It's hard to explain, but once you get it, you'll see what I mean.

It's difficult. This is the way to do it, though. Do EXACTLY this and you will make it:

1. Crank the window shut, then run immediately to the second winch.

2. Wait until the first window bursts open, then immediately start cranking.

3. As soon as the platform has been raised, climb the box and wait 2 seconds before leaping onto it.

4. Be ready to double jump as soon as you hit the wall.

I tried it dozens of times before doing it this exact way and managed it first try.

Cheers, guys,
I'll give it another go in an hour or so. I just can't do it now. I'm afraid if i fail yet again i might break my keyboard ;)

Close windows, Run to center and raise platform (i didnt wait), Jump up and stand on platform get ready for your jump, Jump when you get close to the wall (you have to do the double jump thing to grab to top), Shimmy over and your gold.

This method won't work every time, but the one listed above will if you manage to time the jump right.

Ok i did it. i followed what Zakalwe proposed and it worked first try.

Thanx a lot again, guys.

You're welcome! ;)

I think it has to do with raising the platform into the slightly lesser air stream made after the first window bursts open. It'l raise into a slightly different position than if you winch it before.

I basically did what guy did in the video, without seeing the video first, and it worked fine. I didn't think anything of it. All the tombs were pretty straight forward. I had no idea people where having issues with this one.

Not meaning to sound rude, but you likely lucked out the first time. It's very awkward and inconsistent if you don't use the above method.

maybe. i just think i grasped what to do and did it. as long as people can now do it.

Grasping "what" to do is incredibly simple.

The fact is it's incredibly imprecise and doesn't seem to behave the same way each time UNLESS you follow the rules stated above.

This worked, #2 the delay to start the cranking seems to be the key.

I've been stranded here for a long time. The perfect tutorial has finally been found. Thanks a lot
