Tomb Raider 2 Hints

How do I get through the obstacle course?

  • 1 of 4: The obstacle course is designed as an interactive trainer to help you learn the game.  That is, Lara will tell you when you make a mistake.  Listen to her instructions, since they will generally help you get through any particular obstacle.
  • 2 of 4: I found that toward the end of the course, she tended to become less instructive.  If you're having trouble finishing the course near the end, read on for some further instructions.
  • 3 of 4: Once you run across the rope bridge, you will need to jump in the water and swim until the end of the pool.  If you do a running jump just after crossing the bridge, you can jump over the water and onto the bridge above it.  Doing so will "disqualify" you from the obstacle course, so be careful that you land in the water and not on the bridge.
  • 4 of 4: Also, you can speed your time at the end of the course by sliding down the rope slide just after you climb over the wall at the far end of the pool.  To use it, just walk up to it (make sure to walk, or else you'll fall off the edge) and then hold the ACTION key (CONTROL by default).  Keep holding until you're ready to jump off the line.
