Obelisk of Khamoon - How To Avoid A Tricky Rope Wall / Spinning Blade Section

There is a horrible bit where you have to swing on the wall, avoiding spinning blades that move in and out of the wall - Guess what... it can be avoided !!

How To Avoid...

When you enter the Obelisk of Khamoon chapter you will almost certainly flick the lever on your right and access the first key via the draw-bridge that dropped down. That was easy wasn't it - sadly, the next three are much harder and this guide will help skip a tricky section.

To get the other keys you need to dive into the water below and swim to the ledge which would be on the right hand side as you first entered the chapter.

Leap through a few sliding doors and a few other minor challenges. Then you enter a passage that leads to a tall square room. You are at the top and need to get to the passage on the opposite wall at the same level as you. But all you are faced with is a slide down two sides to reach the bottom so slide down and deal with the baddies. Then find a swich to flip.

This opens a couple of gates and turns the slopes into giant steps. Explore for any ammo / health lying around and you are now ready to work your way to the exit... high up on the wall. This is where all the swinging and blade avoiding is required.


However, all the spinning blades can be avoided !! That's because one of the gates the switch opened leads to a passage. If you take this passage you will work through many other sections and eventually back to the main area you started the chapter in, as you will actually capture the other keys as you proceed.






Once back in this main area you can dive into the water and work your way back to the passage leading to the tall square room.

Now when you reach the room, the slopes have gone and you can climb down a step or two and then do a leap and grapple a wall ring. From here getting to the opposite corner should be easy and has avoided all those spinning blades.

Can't believe I only found out about this game until last year. Great that they remade it but the ledge jump bug in this level is just odd. If you're playing this game in 2023 :-) and are experiencing this enabling vsync does work. To enable it you need to do it in the setup before starting the game. If the setup is not showing when you press Play you can enable it in the Properties under the cog wheel icon.

how to access vsync in steam game ??

[Mr. Fancy Pants]

Thank you, kusaros! I'd been looking everywhere for how to get that jump to work! Everyone said everything from "change aspect ratio", "disable AA", to "reinstall game". I'd pretty much given up and was ready to move on to another game. I don't know why I hadn't tried V-sync, I'd tried every OTHER option in the display menu.

problem for jump to the balcony?

[mbutton15]

@ebortnikova - Long time since I played. Maybe change the vsync setting?
I also remember one Tomb Raider game I once ended up using someone elses save game to continue.

Невозможно запрыгнуть на этот гребаный уступ. И дальше идти не получается. Это какой-то баг, она как будто врезается в стену, которой тут нет. Что делать-то?

[Kúsař]

You must have V-sync enabled or you won't make final jump! Geez this game is bug ridden, that's sad...

[Kúsař]

Does this still work? I can make it to the corner without problem but everytime I jump for the balcony she fails terribly and falls down. I tried different timings, pressing action key and whatnot. Is this another bug or did devs made this route impossible?
