♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ documents

[Kamikazi Watermelon183]

So is there some kind of trick or cheat I could use to get 1 document in the area where you fight yaga baba? It's the one where you have to shoot an arrow with a rope to a set spot and then she hooks it to a pulley system.
You have to jump on one of those rotating platorms to get to other side in time to jump to the platform you just raised.
Getting so damn annoyed I'm too slow or I fall and then have to climb all the way back up to try again and it's pissing me off.
I just want to continue with the game but I don't want to leave this document as I knows its there and will need to come back for it anyways.
Any easy trick to this or is it really just a stupid timed event where the dev teams have given you the finger and said ♥♥♥♥ you we like having to make you climb miles just to try again.

Most players struggle with this.
Do you have the grapple axe yet? If so, that's the only "cheat" there is.
However, if you want 100% in Baba Yaga & don't feel like spending "hours" trying to get it, you can always go to Stella's Tomb Raider (Google it) and download a saved game for this.
Good luck

It took me a number of tries, but is doable if you don't mess up in the process.

You just need to be quick.

How far in is the grapple axe?
I honestly do not want to use anyone else saves or anything I do like to try and do things myself but I am really getting frustrated at it. It's not the messing up its the big ass climb back up over and over thats the problem.

Sophia gives you the grapple axe after the fight in the tower.
You have to get through Geothermal Valley first.

I've got all docs so far in the game - the one in question.
The story progress I am at is just after escaping after being captured and meeting Jacob for first time. Right after the escape this dlc mission becomes avilable so I have done this and the side missions in the area, I think the mission objective at the moment is to go through the saw mill or whatever building it is to find Jacob who after saving you said he was going to his village.
I'm no far in the game and based on Sams reponse I guess I have a little way to go before I get the grapple axe.

You'll be coming back to the area at that point anyway - there's another document in the DLC that's impossible to get without the grapple.

Sweetie, you have a very long way to go. You still have to make it thru the Saw Mill, Abandon Mines and the Acropolis. Then comes Geothermal Valley.
Be patient. Once you get the grapple axe, you can immediately return to get that document.
That's what I did. I had the grapple axe when I returned to clean the place out.

I love this game! It's great :) One question as concerns completing things in the DLC though...

I didn't realize shooting those lamps was a challenge until it was too late (Why are they glowing? Couldn't think of a reason until I saw those glowing weights above them - OH!) so I was only able to get a couple before the gondola reached its destination... Am I able to ride the gondola again to get them or is that lost forever?

Yeah...you can ride it back and forth all day...there's a lever at each end.

Just use fast travel to get back Wicked Vale, enter the lift and shoot 'em up. But I see some players got problem when they not active/finish challenges through campain progress so besure you beat them in one-time play through.

You can even mess up a little. My timing with the rope arrow was not entirely perfect and on the critical jump I came in a little short and Lara had to pull herself up from the edge. Still made it. It's really not that hard but I also did it after finishing everything else so I had the grapple axe.

Shoot the thing to raise the platform. Jump and grab the lowest of the three rotating platforms. Ride it around and jump to the decking near the platform you raised by shooting the thing. Jump to that platform. Jump to the place where the document is. If this isn't clear enough (I'm tired and it's been a long day) look it up on youtube. Hope this helps.
