You have to press the right button yourself.
Otherwise, the protagonist will bounce off and die.
After sticking the axe into a wall,you’re able to lower yourself using the rope.
Using theclimbing axe with the roperequires some precision.
Lara can use it to reach higher latches or throw it to reach more distant climbing walls.
Later in the game, you will obtain climbing gear, which will includeclimbing shoes.
Combining them with the axe will sometimes allow Lara toclimb slanted walls.
The general rules of climbing remain unchanged, but orientating yourself and finding interactive spots can be more difficult.
Another important gadget arerope lines.
to get to do that, Lara has to stand right next to one of the objects.
TheSurvival Instinct is very useful, but it’s only available on lower difficulties.
Regardless of whether it’s your first visit in a location or not, you should not rush.
Check where you want to get exactly and place Lara in the right position.
Only fast reactions will save her.
All locations in the game are linked, but you cannot get to all of them right away.
We recommend you visited theWhere to upgrade Lara’s gearsection in this guide.

We mostly mean thetraps.
you’re free to jump over them or cut them with a knife.
Other popular traps aretiger pits -these are more problematic, since some of them are concealed.
You should buy theCrow’s Cunningskill (costs 2 ability points).
This allows you to highlight the traps in the Survival Instinct.
This makes the game and exploration lot easier.
Another threat are the wild animals, particularly wolves and jaguars.
When fighting them, focus first of all on dodging, so to avoid getting bitten.
In case of hunting, you might attack them from afar - a bow is very useful.
Obtaining theIllipa’s Sightskill is very useful here, as it highlights the hearts of big animals.
This makes killing animals with a single arrow a lot easier.
Some threats also lurk in the water.
The protagonist has a limited reserves of air.
Remember about that and resurface before she drowns.
You might want to buy theCaiman’s Breathskill, which allows you to stay underwater for longer.
Stay away from them (you might spot them with the Survival Instinct) or hide in underwater vegetation.
