Stuck in St. Francis Folly

[cpoce2007]

I am still in TR1 and I cannot get finished with this level. I have no health packs left. I have all 4 keys and keep getting killed while trying to get down to the bottom level. Is there a way to skip this level? I have been here for almost a week trying to move forward. I have played all the other TR games but these 3. Please help. Thank you.

There are cheats to receive infinite medipacks or to skip levels, you just have to search the internet. Anyway, I don't understand why you die when you try to get down, I assumed that you have already had to descend at least once to press the switch. What is the problem?

You must have "Tank controls" activated. Then do this:
('step' means: press 'walk' button)

to skip level:
Step forwards → Step backwards → Turn anticlockwise 3 times → Jump forwards

All weapons & infinite ammunition:
Step forwards → Step backwards → Turn anticlockwise 3 times → Jump backwards

I *think* there is no cheat for infinite medipacks in Tomb Rider 1.
But I could be wrong, of course.

Have you simply been sacrificing health by falling off of ledges???

[cpoce2007]

Thank you. I will give it a try.

skipping the level probably won't do you any good in the long run. i would recommend restarting the level and just trying to do better. you know, consume less medipacks, take less unforced damage, make better use of shotgun, dispatch enemies from safe distance - basically learn to better deal with the game's hazards. because it's not getting easier.

At least you get an achievement. So you have to do it at least once if you want to get them all.

yeah, but good luck getting any other achievement after skipping a level. because most of them will be locked out.

[cpoce2007]

It worked for me! I don't mind not getting achievements right off the bat. I could always go back with a new game to aim for achievements. I just didn't want to restart that level. It took me too long just to get the keys. TR1 will help with 3 & 4 hopefully.

How are you not able to get to the bottom without taking damage? You know you can jump backwards off a ledge while holding CTRL and she'll grab onto it, then you can drop down to lessen the drop height by a lot.

I would just restart the level.
By that time I think I had some 15 small medipacks and some 10 or 15 large medipacks (maybe more)..
I would not mind sharing some of my 20 small medipacks or 40 large medipacks I have at the last levels.
Engage the enemies "smart" not "going at them", you waste far less medipacks that may come handy at the last levels.

If you are using modern controls you can hold action button while running into ledge below, Lara will automatictly turn around and grab the ledge while falling.
It's a new thing that isn't explained anywhere in the game, the tutorial only explains tank controls scheme.

best not to use cheats i'm sure it stops many achievements if that triggers you :P
also its always best to drop backwards of a ledge while holding action so you don't fall to your death, another tip would be to use tank controls rather than modern if you want to keep your sanity.

how to drop down without taking damage the right way
