Stuck outside temple of the sun

[eyeofthenight]

I just completed the temple of the sun challenge tomb, found the exit, but after the rope crossing I get stuck: there's a climbable wall with a ledge above it that I should grasp, but doing a wall jump from the top of the climbable area does not give me enough height to grasp the ledge.
Oddly enough I've seen videos on the internet of people who did the exact same thing and did grasp the ledge, maybe playing the console version or so. Is this a bug in the PC version?

I think I know the area you're talking about. If I remember correctly, by holding only to the left (I think you're jumping left) you won't get enough height. Holding up and left instead (diagonal) should give you enough lift.

It's not a PC bug so much as a gamepad vs keyboard bug. Not the first nor the last time that'll happen either. You're generally better off not using your mouse while climbing, as that will usually screw with the camera and thus angles will be wrong for the jumps. It's stupid, I know, but alas, we are all victims to the console era.

There's also a possibility that you're not actually at the top of the climbable area. This is what I refer to as the "climbing axe glitch". It can happen in the middle of a climbable area sometimes that Lara simply stops climbing as if she's reached the top, and looks like she wants to jump upwards. Sometimes she'll even grab a wall outside the climbable area, and as you start moving, simply slip and fall. Very glitchy. Try dropping into a repel and climbing back up - that usually fixes that glitch.

Hi, I'm just going to re-post here as I am having this same problem as the one above. I have tried everything that was mentioned by dak in his post, but no matter what I do, I am a good 1/2 metre away from making the ledge?? I'ts seriously doing my head in now! I have even gone back to a previous save and completed the tomb again, but still the same, I cannot get out of there.

I have watched 3 videos of the tomb on youtube and all the players make the ledge with ease, they do like a double grab, which I am doing as well, and they make the ledge, but I fall way short each time. I do not want to skip this tomb, as I want to complete the game, but I am at a loss about what to do?

Anyone else having this issue and does anyone have a solution? Perhaps I am missing a skill?

Thanks,

Stu

There are only a few "jump to a grab" that require you to add that extra jump to complete it. There is also a trailer in the store page, high lighting the Pillar DLC that shows how to do 1 of the special jump to a grab. I think once you see that the rest of this issue will start to come together for you.

Hi, i had the same problem. With some other duble "jumps"as wel. In most cases it is the computer age or/and grafikcard settings. When i pulled the screenresulution down (1200x800) and turn most of the effects off.Then set the screen to WINDOWED! Play with this setting just untill you are past that section. I learned this from assassins creed unite(paris) and it works for al games with similar grafik problems. good luck

Thanks for the replys guys.
I did it in the end by turning the screen resolution down to 800x600 in the options, made it easy then :)
If anyone else is having this issue, I would recommend trying the resolution method first.
Cheers

Thank you so much! The resolution tip saved me!!!

Just wanted to say "thank you" for the solution with changing the screen resolution. Really annoying issue, I spent lots of time trying to beat this wall. Also there's one more glitch (I think related to my hardware) that I cannot press more than 2 buttons at once, so I really needed to do the straight up jump. And it worked :)
BTW, there's another bug - if you revert the screen resolution back to 1920x1080 - the interface texts are distorted. What you need to do is to change resolution to some other (i.e. 1620x1050) and back to your original. it worked for me!

This is one of those walls you walk up to, use "E" to plant her pickaxe and "W" to climb.
If you use the jump, she will not jump "high" enough to make it to the ledge.
This is what I used to get to the ledge.

WTF - thanks a ton; setting the resolution to 800x600 worked for me too!
