SOLVED: Cant make jump after collecting River Ganges Secret#1

[Chelle-corn]

Is anyone else having the same problem, after collection the first secret where you do a series of jumps over water.

Once the secret is collected you have to go back on yourself, but I can't make the first jump after leaving the secret room, she does a long jump misses her grab every time.

I loaded up the original Tomb Raider 3 and she can make that jump no problem every time. It just seems to be a problem with the remaster.

Bit frustrating because I'm adamant on collecting all the secrets so I'm stuck until it's fixed.

Edit:

OP can you try it this one way please, that is hang off the edge next to to secret room and climb up and do a roll and try the run and jump exactly from there.

Im testing it and i'm finding i consistently don't grab if i'm facing even slightly to the left or right

Appreciated but nah, didn't help, seems as though that person is just having trouble playing over it being a glitch since I can make that jump on TR3 original, installed it specifically to try so not just me being rubbish at controlling Lara.

I just went and tried the jump you are talking about on the remaster and I made it fine I don't know what is up with yours. (I use tank controls)

[VintenDio]

Stop playing with modern controls lmao

[Chelle-corn]

I'm using tank controls and I'm Tomb Raider veteran so I know how the game is supposed to play. It's just playing up.

This might be one of the very few edges that are not easily grabbed because of a very curious height. Either do not grab, just make a long jump, you'll land on it, or hit the grab button just before you pass the edge.

[Chelle-corn]

Thanks for your input but this isn't that case, I know the areas you mean though, one specifically in Nevada close to the water.

I've literally just restarted the level and tried it again, loaded up my original Tomb Raider III game on steam and the exact long jump and grab works every time on there, just not in the remaster.

I 100% think it's a bug.

I'll try and upload a janky video of what I mean in a bit.

Video of me performing the jump in the remaster unsuccessfully and successfully in Tomb Raider 3.

Huh. Yeah, then this is a bug.

Try grabbing LATE in the jump. This is a common trick for some jumps in the trilogy. I recall there's a few jumps I memorized where you need to press + hold grab right before you get to the ledge to latch on.

It might be a bug with the remaster, but try this tactic to see if it works

this particular jump has nothing to do with grabbing late it's just a very tight alignment.

Thank you, that actually worked, I can continue playing now. :D

It's weird though, no matter how straight I align myself after walking to the edge, it won't work. I definitely think something has been changed in the remaster and is affecting it. I guess there is less error acceptance to how close Lara is when grabbing perhaps..

Really appreciate the help, ty!

I remember finding this particular jump wiffy on the originals too I used to have to try a few times and because i always played TR3 on pc i saved at every single jump hahaha glad it worked. I had to go check because I knew exactly what jump it was, I've played TR3 the most out of all of them

Yeah I kind of recall now having trouble with one of these jumps after this secret, I'm totally perplexed though having no trouble on the original and finding it impossible without your technique on remaster. Thankfully if I come across this again, I know what to do courtesy of you, thanks again! All the best! :)

I manage to find a way to make the secret 4 jump.
Don't walk to the edge and hop back.

Hang in the cliff/ledge, climb, roll, and run. She is always grabbing for me with this technique.
(I think hanging there she will be pixel perfect straight.)
