Rope Arrows, Tomb Raider

[weeve9]

Help - I'm playing Tomb Raider. I'm deep in an area called Geothermal Caverns. There is a steel door that I need to open by shooting a rope arrow into a pole that has a steel cage suspended from it. I need to fire a rope arrow into the roped pole, pull the rope causing the steel cage to swing in front of the door then fire a flaming arrow into a natural gas vent which blasts the cage through the steel door. Problem is my arrows aren't attached to a rope for me to pull. When i check my weapons the rope arrow is activated. Does anyone now of a solution? Tx much

Wrong forum. Try the discussion hub of whatever title of the Tomb Raider franchise you're talking about.

Use alt fire, also see:

BUG NOTE: Several PC players have reported problems using rope arrows. First, you cannot use rope arrows until you've unlocked them. This happens automatically during the Cliffside Village part of the story. After that, you should be able to fire rope arrows as described under "Alternate Fire" in the grid above. You don't need arrows in your inventory to use rope arrows. If this doesn't work or stops working after a while, there may be a glitch with the controls. Try resetting the controls to the default settings under Options > Button Mapping. If you find rope arrows aren't working in a particular spot where you know they should work, try reloading your last checkpoint. In most cases, that should fix the glitch.

And yeah, next time post in the proper forum.
