Tomb of Ascension
Is there an easy way to "get up top". I know what I'm supposed to do but there's just not enough time the way I'm doing it - any hints PLEEEEASE. I've been here forever! I only made it on to the platform once and then I panicked and totally missed the timber on the wall
Indeed your timing has to be right but this doesn't mean that you have to be REALLY fast. Here's how I did it:
Close the windows first, then go to the other mechanism. Press 'action' so that Lara puts her axe into the wheel, but wait for the first window to spring open before activating it. Now you have to be fast: Climb the higher block and jump onto the raised platform from there. The second window should soon release the wind, so make yourself ready: Once you reached the highest point jump towards the marked part of the wall.
Thanks for that Soul. I finally made it

. I think I was thinking I had less time than I actually had - like some of the "timers" in the old TR games. It was still pretty tight though
