I'm having enough trouble with the challenge in normal story mode, let alone a time attack lol.
I'll need at least another 20 odd attempts, but at least I'm at the mid-way checkpoint.
And here's another thing that might be pretty important, possibly even having to do with the few ridiculous sub-four minute times recorded for the speed run. Has anyone figured out what purpose the two wooden panels up in the tower at the end serve? They show up in Survival Instincts, so they're probably there for something. See here: photos.app.goo.gl/Bg7amM8tcsDyQ4wc9
Yeah, sub-four seem rather impossible but I'm guessing it has something to do with the raft. There might be a way to avoid it altogether. I think at some point you can skip to the co-op path and shave a few seconds by running on the platforms above, but I haven't given it much thought. I'd never noticed the survival instincts highlight in the tower, maybe it's just a hint that they can be climbed upon? From what I can tell, they're the rotating platforms at 07:42 in my video, but I could be wrong. The new DLC comes out this Friday, I'll give this tomb a few more runs after I record the new videos and share up any new information I can gather.
Sub four is very doable (I know that since I got the record) and actually pretty simple. When I did Rise of the Tomb Raider I used to share all my tips and tricks and upload my videos of my runs, but for Shadow I decided I wanted other players to give it their best shot.
@@WarriorofDoom Everything is pretty simple once you figure it out. Believe me, I've been trying all sorts of outside-the-box solutions, so far to no avail.
I've looked all along the route for places to get on land and maybe climb above the whole thing--the rope pull door under the raft got me part of the way.
I spent quite a lot of time trying to reduce the water level in the tower basin without getting on the raft by staying in one place and shooting the tower-lowering targets. The problem there is I can't find a place that I can stay on. Before you go through the big door into that tower area--up where the mural is-- you can't get a good angle to break the globes inside.
After the last big door (with the two switches to open it) when you shoot to lower the water the first time there's a ledge underwater behind the raft, but it's just too slippery to stay on (tried it 20-30 times). I tried swimming upstream as soon as the raft started moving--zilch.
And then there are those two wooden panels up in the tower--maybe they convert into a helicopter pad for all I know.
When you feel you can give out some hint I'll be all ears; and very appreciative. Cheers.
@@WarriorofDoom Simple, you say. I still have to give it a try, Tree of Life had me very annoyed yesterday lol, so I wasn't really in the mood...
Yeah of course simple when you know it. I am going to do Tree of Life tomorrow.
Great run! I really liked this tomb a lot. it felt so different from the other tombs and was a lot better than the previous one. Did you like it?
I did my run at the same time as you improved yours -- I saw you chip off 20(!) seconds of your previous time, congrats! I have no idea how you do it, especially on this one as it's pretty much dictated by the raft. I enjoyed it the first time around (during the story mission), but I don't know, it's not as fun IMO in Score/Time attack as you are pretty much bound by the raft all along... Hope to have the Score Attack up today but I can already see it's not going to be a good run (I feel I've improved a lot since the first tomb was released though, so it's not going to be the worst run on my channel lol).
I managed to improve my time even more to 6:54 :) I personally don't think score attack will be fun on this, but haven't tried it yet. You have definitely improved and I can honestly say I have enjoyed watching all your runs :D
@@WarriorofDoom Give me just one hint please so I can try to figure it out myself. Are you ignoring the raft altogether somehow? Swimming through the lake with active herbs? A lot of people seem to have cracked this secret (I should look it up, someone might have posted a video already)...
Yes, a hint would be great. I've recently tried swimming directly to the tower from the first time you can shoot at it to lower the water. It looked promising as the tower was transforming, but I didn't make any breakthrough. I'll keep trying.
@@duppenthalerj You are definitely on the right track. Combining all we now know a 4-min run is doable if you get everything just right, but I'm yet to swim through the slot consistently. I managed a few times though, will upload a short video first thing tomorrow!
