mhughes1212 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Not sure if anyone else has encountered this glitch but its almost game breaking unless you are perfect. Im in Peru where I just get Excalibur, use Excalibur to break through the door and start the process of jumping fast from platform to platform. The first time I died and when I respawned I was back inside the tomb and needed to break through the door........problem is I DONT HAVE EXCALIBUR in my inventory anymore. So I restarted and did it again.................made it to the last platform and missed my jump.......restarted inside the tomb with no damn sword....awesome job testing the game. I tried contacting CD to tell them of this glitch and how its unbelievable that you respawn without the necessary tools to beat a time trial mode but was unsuccessful Lame Anyone else or am I the only person who doesnt spawn with the sword if you fail the jumps? http://www.ps3trophies.com/card/10/mhughes1212.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bic80 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Ive got this happening to me right now, its driving me insane having to go back to the beginning every time because i suck at jumping the last 2 platforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigSplasher Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 so, it took me 3 tries to get past this horrendous oversight in game testing... there's no way to even reload your checkpoint from the main menu either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigSplasher Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 not sure if this would work... but try Wield Excalibur Hold L2 and press Triangle, X, O R1, Triangle, L1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuffgamer1 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 No, it wouldn't, because that cheat is earned by beating the Nepal time trial in the first place. The best advice is "don't screw up." The sad part is, I seem to recall this bug happening in the original version of the game, too. So it's not like they ADDED one, they just forgot to fix it.

BioshockMasterGOW23 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I hate this glitch a lot it made me do it around 7 times i think i found a solution to this glitch while playing 1. break the door and a checkpoint should appear (don't go forward or you're fuck up) 2. Then back up go to the door that you came first and a checkpoint should appear 3. (i think you have to repeated step 1 and 2)( not really sure about it) 4. a checkpoint should appear when you are going out And if you mess up the jumping you should restart without the weapon but with the door open. OFF TOPIC will cheat disable trophy because i start hard mode with cheat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDouglasLJr Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I too got hit with this even though I knew it existed. Just mistimed that final jump, had to play though a second time and got it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxia Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 i just finished my first play through on normal difficulty and died many times there lol but i always had the sword when it reloaded so is this only on the time trial mode or did they fix it?

Pissed me off no end yesterday. I don't know if you still need the trophy or not, but if you do then I have a little tip that will help you breeze through this time trial. On the third jump - make sure you land at least on the middle of the platform (or ideally slightly to the left) this gives you enough time to get to the end of the platform before the boulder hits and makes it tumble. First time I tried this - success at last! If you don't really understand what I'm saying - this youtube video should help (fast forward to about 7.20): [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAHa5FHVAws]YouTube - Tomb Raider Legend Nepal time trial[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dw1986 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Oh goody, another Tomb Raider glitch... I died a couple of times at this spot during the hard playthrough, and respawned with the sword. So why the f&*% does it not appear during the TT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrizs Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 That tactic worked for me but for some reason the middle platforms weren't there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakihara301 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I also just had this happen to me. Fell and died at last jump 2 separate times having to restart because I lost Excalibur. I found a surefire way to NOT get this glitch to happen... I had one hit kill cheat on. After my 2nd glitch, i turned off the game, restarted game, then went to Nepal TT with NO CHEATS ON!! That is the key. Its no problem, either. There are only 2 leopards and the one merc section with 5 or 6 baddies. I purposely fell and died on last jump, and lo and behold, I still had Excalibur! So, if you dont want this to happen, just make sure not to put any cheats on for this TT. I still finished with 4.5 minutes to spare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anax Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Cheats have nothing to do with the glitch. I've encountered it both on Time Trial and Chapter Select. The only way I've found to prevent this is BioshockMasterGOW23's triple checkpoint method. Do that and you'll be in the clear. ...I hate this glitch. I loathe this glitch. This glitch has made me play Nepal 8 times in total. @#%$&! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadistboy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Same here. Will try the triple checkpoint method, I suppose. Or I could just not suck at simple jumping, that would be nice, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFF TOPIC will cheat disable trophy because i start hard mode with cheat? I don't think this method works! As soon as you get Excalibur, a cutscene appears... Then you head to the "back door" and use the sword... Soon afterwards another cutscene and there is no checkpoint to go back to at all. The door will get blocked by debris and the only option is to go forward. A second late reaction will most certainly end up in death. Didn't get the chance to use Stella's shortcut though. Waiting for the checkpoint to do a treble save (which does not exist) actually got me killed. Came respawn, no sword! Ugh. Had to do the chapter again.... Anyhoo, got it on my second try the natural way. Same with the 2 Ghana (West Africa) "shortcuts". You spend more time trying to learn how to do them. Got annoyed on how uncooperative the glitches were and just went ahead the normal way... and guess what, even with about 3-4 deaths I still made it with time to spare. The secret weapon though is the "one shot kill" cheat/assist. You really have to use that especially at the boss level.

himynameismattyk Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I was having this issue and I had no clue what I was doing wrong. I went to search Google for it and sure enough, this topic popped up. What a horrible glitch. I got it on my 3rd try finally. Cannot wait to be done with this game. I'm so close.

Beasel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Used this during first TT run just to ensure I didn't have it happen to me. Great find for that workaround though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
