Thor room bugged??

[adams_apple]

I beat this game multiple times on PC and Saturn and never had an issue getting through the Thor room in St Francis Folly. It is IMPOSSIBLE to not get hit by lightning. What the hell??

It's not, you need to go to the side of the room and do a running jump off the edge of the second tile and performe a swan dive and you won't take damage. It's always been that way
There's even an achievement for not taking damage in that room

[shadowgravy]

It felt that way to me also, but the damage is minimal so I moved on and forgot about it.

au début de la salle sauter directement dans l'angle gauche une fois dans l'angle de la pièce avancer en longeant le mur et juste avant la dernière dalle grise sauter en face pour aller dans l'autre zone et sur le retour même procéder mais inverser ^^

I didn't figure that out. Neither in the original nor in the remaster. It has to be the same. 😋

It seemed the other way for me - I rarely avoided damage on the old PC version, but I got none this time. I think it's just a matter of making a good jump and timing it right.

Chances are the lightening is going to hit you lol it's always been that way because it tracks the target as soon as you enter the room. I can never run through it without it happening once going in and once going out LOL but you can keep damage to minimal by being fast and taking a big run and jump and keep running forward, it'll only half nip Lara.

You can also do safety rolls to minimise damage by more than half when dropping a certain distance. When you want to get the secret by running over the grey pad in the St Francis Folly level you have to be fast and take a bit of damage when dropping down (you'll know what i mean when you do it).

The first and the last bigger drop if you hold Roll while dropping you don't take much damage as you would if you didn't hold Roll. That part is good for practising doing quick movements and safety rolls so use that to practise.

As a side note, remember that to get the achievement you need to avoid the lighting, grab the key and avoid taking damage on the way through the exit. If done right it should pop-up afterwards.

I swan dived across and didn't get hit.

I just noticed I got the "You really are Loki" achievement for not getting struck by lightning. I recall I died inside the Thor's Hammer room and I had to run through the electricity bolts a second time. So yes, it is possible to get the achievement.

Just hug the left wall, wait for a gap in the lighting and jump, it's what i always did on ps1. No need to swan dive even.

Took the time to record a 30 second little video of how to get in and how to get out just in case anybody needs it

I didn't have any issue with this room myself. I just kept to the right side of the room and walked near the metal pad on that side. I then stopped and waited until I heard the lightening hit before I just ran, jumped and continued to run into the room with the hammer. I repeated the process on the same side I entered from and had no issues.

I will say though, the original versions (doesn't matter the platform, it was the same either way) I also took damage regardless of what trick I tried.

That seems more like an exploit than a solution. I thought there was some trick to it, like you have to time your jumps or something.

sawn dive my man (up + alt + shift)
