Is your question here? If it isn't please email me.
I'm at the part of the stage where you climb out of the top of the elevator,
I'm in a shaft where there's two elevators. I tried climbing up the chain, but I can't see anywhere
to go.
You get to use Lara's new move here, go to the edge of the elevator roof and face the cables. If
you look onwards, you'll see that there's a platform and a horizontal pole. Take a standing jump onto
the horizontal pole and Lara will grab on and start swinging. Let go the Action key and Lara
will jump off onto the next platform.
I am now to this point where I used the iris and then I deactivated the control
room (the one that identifies you when you pass with a weapon).
I went through a secret passage that led me back to 13th floor.
Now all the doors are closed and the only way is to pass through the laser beams
to reach the elevator.
I need your help.
I'm not sure if this is the bit that you mean, but if it is, it's very clever. I'm going to quote the
famous Stella here, because there's no way that I can add to this explanation, I'd just be doing TR
fans a disservice! Here ya go:
If you take Zip's advice and equip the headset then press Action for infrared, you'll notice the
hallway to the right is crisscrossed with 5 sets of invisible lasers. (The scope on the HK also
reveals them.) Before attempting to get through, pick up some HK and grappling gun ammo on top of
the crates. To make passing the lasers easier, equip the HK in sniper mode and shoot the red valve
on the pipe at the end of the hall beyond the lasers (shown in the screenshot at
http://stellalune.com/TR5walk/screenshots/redalert8.jpg).
Steam escapes, making the lasers visible on one side.
Approach the lasers carefully. The lasers are not in synch, but each has a distinct pattern: on,
off, on, longer off. If you watch the pattern you can run past each one in turn on the long-off phase.
You can also use the white lines on the floor as a guide. After you pass each laser, don't approach
the next white line, because that's where the next laser is. For the last line of lasers,
be sure to move to the right to run through the doorway when the laser goes off.
Big thanks to Stella by the way!
