Tomb Raider Reboot Handstand
So if you've played some Tomb Raider games you probably know about those cool handstands Lara used to be able to do when she climbed on to a ledge. In the early games she was much more acrobatic and we all know that the newer two games (Tomb Raider 2013 and Rise of the Tomb Raider) are way more focused on realism and good motion caption of the body. This is why many people claimed that you aren't able to do that 'ledge handstand' anymore.

In the older games you accomplished this trick by pressing a combination of certain buttons. This combo was found in the menu itself (correct me if I'm wrong) and 'cause there isn't one to find in the newer two games people figured that it just wasn't in the game anymore.

So here's the weird part. Some time ago when I played the new Tomb Raider I saw her doing this trick. This really amazed me, I found it awesome how they still added that old Tomb Raider feel to this game since I thought they removed it. It was later when I looked up on the Internet for getting a tutorial on how to manage this again when I found out it wasn't do able in the newer two ones, atleast not to get it on purpose. I've also looked for videos where people accidentally did it but with no result. I started to question myself if I really had seen it but in my memory it was clearly a better rendered Lara Croft and I was certainly playing it by myself and for the record, I haven't played the older ones in a long while. Slight problem is that I do not know for sure if it was Tomb Raider 2013 or Rise of the Tomb Raider but I believe it was Rise of the Tomb Raider (somewhere in an ice cave near the end).

My question now is if anyone can confirm if what I've seen is not my weird imagination and in fact something that now and then happends in the game, maybe a rare easter egg. For what I remember I've only seen it happening ones so it definitely is a rare occurrence. I do understand that it may have been a weird dream of mine I had but it for sure doesn't feel like it. If anyone has further information or a way to get this trick to happend or even a video then that would really help me out!

Thank you, have a nice one.

Play Tomb Raider for 4 hours. Go to bed immediately. Play Tomb Raider some more during the REM phase of your sleep, do the handstand.

That's probably also what happened previously.

Yes I've already thought of that and that could be the thing that happend but this is really clear in my memory, too clear for it being a dream.
