Escaping Meteorite Cavern without killing Willard

[@chrizopras]

What does Willard expect from being a monster spider? Now he can walk in circles in his cave and do nothing. Fantastic. xD

[@HenryMcGuinnessGuitar]

He wanted to accelerate his genetic evolution, as I recall. I wonder if he was disappointed with what he got. Well perhaps he got a magnificent intellect to keep him entertained

[@joelm5509]

@@HenryMcGuinnessGuitar Probaly true, he expected to become something different, not a freaking slow giant spider.

[@Vapor_Man650]

He was a molecular biologist, he would’ve been proud of what he’d become

[@No.Man.Is.An.Island9]

'm sure he would have been even prouder if he turned into a giant crab since that is the way the evolution often goes a.k.a. carcinization :D

[@KennySoftAir]

And now in the Remastered version there is also a trophy for this You should be proud of yourself 🙌

[@sakarinieminen3205]

Seems funny that she's got all the weapon arsenal in the world up to a rocket launcher, and some serious climbing skills but still a 3 meter fence is too much

[@theazimax9346]

the person who discover this trick should win a platinum trophy!! truly fantastic this tricky!!

[@Baseqq]

Well 9 years later... you should get some kind of platinum.... tomb raider remastered that have premiere in 10 days have possibility to get platinum if u complete this almost impossible challenge...😅

[@joelm5509]

Indeed, i love how the devs added this trophy in the game! @@Baseqq

[@CoolDudeClem]

I always hated having to do this level, I only ever defeated Willard once and I'm sure it was down to pure god luck. I never did undertand why he wanted to change into some kind of spider thingy anyway.

[@devonkaijuwarrior8009]

He proved lara right. He couldn't control the outcome

[@kevinbrandsuarez6238]

Lara: armed to the teeth also Lara: lol bye

[@roloqween]

Are you kidding... Lara is crazy fearless

[@Stefanonimo]

3:13 What an airshot. Willard got some skillz.

[@gianturion]

+Stefanonimo OMG 360 NOSC0PE

[@henryhammond7393]

You gotta love how the game designers made it possible to escape without killing the final boss… and then put a fence in your way at the end 😅😂… done it!!

[@xRikux89]

The button does nothing when Lara presses it. Enemies come from that building, and the door opens by itself during the events, assuming you defeat Willard.

[@numbjuhnu]

3:13 New sport: Croft hunting.

[@CenobiteBeldar]

Dropping croft hunting lol

[@xRikux89]

Take one hop back while shooting the Eagle 10 times. Roll around the instant you finish up. Take a running jump to the ladder. You have to steer Lara right in the air and press action as late as possible for her to grab the highest rung possible (For some reason, you just have to do that). You'll know you hit it if you have to climb up 6 steps to reach the level you need. Press right to let Lara's feet go. Shimmy once to the right. It's a very short shimmy, so press up quickly. Roll and Crouch.

[@xRikux89]

I tried that first, but if you turn that much to the left, the crawl collision will cause Lara to eject away from the wall, and you will get hit. I added annotations, it's mentioned there.

[@xRikux89]

Tried that. :( I think, with Trajan's Markets, it works partly because there are empty squares to the left and right of the square on which the gate is placed. Because the square on which the gate is is considered a "wall" square. Although you still end up on the gate's square when doing that (in TR5), which is why you get stuck and can spin around fast.

[@xRikux89]

@popfan95b If trying to get past this door would kill, half of the Tomb Runner crew would be long gone. Trust me, it's not happening. The doors in Maria Doria are specially designed to not have a wall square. If there was one, Lara would bump into it from the other side.

[@cherrytrucku]

So at 5:13 where you hear someone's footsteps (not Lara's) I assume those are the enemies from inside that locked door that Lara can't open? They're trapped in there for all eternity? That's messed up.

[@xRikux89]

@popfan95b Door objects are compeletely different from windows. A closed door counts as a full wall square, so there is no crack at all like there is with fence objects.

[@Jabberminor]

wow, very well done! wudnt the first bit crawling to the gap instead of standing up work?

[@LoonyLoo]

lmao great video. very interesting strategy too :P was it not possible to corner bug anywhere and somehow escape?

[@xRikux89]

@VocaloidRin12 I didn't "forget" anything. The whole point was to skip the fight, but yes, that is why the gate was closed.

[@Camera123]

I thought the ending was hilarious, especially the flashback reference. Poor Lara goes insane in every game. XD

[@Volvagia]

damn that sucks. you got all the way through that, and you can't even finish the level XD

[@xRikux89]

Nah, there is no room on top of the houses. The idea of getting past the gate has been brought up several times, but we've never found anything. :/

[@BlastoiseToiseGabriel]

loved it! Just put 2x speed. you'll see how funny it is with the annotations on! I laughed so much! :D please do more like this!

[@sparklywarkly89]

Just about to start the RX level but must try this when I can... I've found this game much harder than 1 and 2 mainly because of having to sprint and duck crawl in places... And the variety of different vehicles that you use... Was surprised I ever managed to complete Lud's Gate.. Struggled even with a written walkthrough and KZbin video!!!

[@xRikux89]

@xBigxJxProductionsx There is no open roof, so a corner bug at that place doesn't lead anywhere. :(

[@ozzman123]

i do believe theres a trigger that closes the gate, if you bypass it you can finish the level, i just don't remember where it was, it was in Brotherhood of Gaming's TR3 speed run

[@xRikux89]

Rest assured, there is no such trigger. A Tomb Raider room inspector called FexInspect can tell you this in 10 seconds. Furthermore, TBoG's speedruns are fake. The rest of their content isn't exactly in point either.

[@benwyatt7619]

Collecting the artifacts opens fhe the door

[@arnold_gamer]

Actually, if you kill the first enemies quickly, they won't press the button, so you won't have to fight more enemies.

[@xRikux89]

I tried a bit, but couldn't find any way. Most of the corners have nothing but ceiling above. I'm not very good at corner bugs though. But I think rr_carroll tried it some time ago too, and couldn't find a way.

[@RadxxRyan]

What an awesome way to end your TR3 speedrun! I think I tried doing this but didn't know to use the rocket launcher at the monkey swing XD.

[@gamerglitchexpert777]

I did this right after watching this video a few weeks ago and ya do get stuck and none of the corner bugs work in the area because of the solid "sky" (low ceiling)

[@bad1boy34]

What about trying the movable block glitch, but on the door?

[@xRikux89]

There is indeed the other way where you pull up at the right time, and have Willard hit the wall right below you. I find that requires near frame precision however. I must've tried about 50 times loading the same savegame over and over, and only succeeded once. This method on the other hand, requires precision. I do this: (Cont. in next comment)

[@xande59o]

recuerdo cuando lo pase la primera vez tenia como 9 años y queria evitar el stress de matarlo, pero nunca se me ocurrio matarlo antes para poder subir las escaleras, siempre trataba de subir las escaleras y por mas que intentaba boom me mataba con la bola esa

[@yyzeco]

How about tryin' to bug on the top of the buildings?

[@unsubdu3d]

nice movie . and really cool (weird?) idea about not killing final boss xD

[@phoenixracing1681]

That means that Lara eventually got evolved because of Willard and the world evolved lol because he was still alive.

[@wishingwell12345]

If collecting the artifacts opens the door, could you do the usual routine of grabbing them then escaping without killing Willard? Or will it only work from the exact positions he and Lara start the level at?

[@Watch-Yisus]

wishingwell12345 Don't think it's possible, you have to stun Willard to get out, and if you stun him after getting all artifacts, well... he dies.

[@wishingwell12345]

Good point.

[@IronFistLaw75]

It is possible due to the discoveries made by Chreden (secretub) and GreenApple968. There are a few exploits that you can use to avoid Willard's death ray, alongside abusing his positioning, which both involve saving/loading strats.

[@JohnZahVideo]

Stupid door ,stupid button ,stupid gate Lara SCREAMING: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[@DoctorFruitbat]

So what does that door/button do? I've got a downloaded save (because TR3 still gives me the willies too much to play through) where the door is open but there was nothing but a small, empty room inside, and the button wasn't yet pressed - and pressing it still did nothing.

[@jeanlafayette7152]

Maybe it opens the gate that Lara's next to at 4:26.

[@xRikux89]

Yeah, it's from a previous video of mine. Look for KV5 without the Jeep.

[@kingofnaples3241]

I've made this without saving the game. But it was very hard.

[@rikkejh]

ahahaha i like the fact that the deaths are in the vid too!!

[@__MPires__]

Wait? you just save the game until you'r out of the cavern?

[@koenne69]

Maybe you can use a bug to roll true the door , i did it in TR2 .

[@FrancescaGorman]

I did it once haha. It was not an easy task to do! :P

[@vinrainbows]

Never seen a better video

[@roloqween]

Epic!

[@seekah1]

Hilarious, thanks for that!! A great challenge once completed properly.

[@DanDan115]

Used this to get the achievement on the remasters 😂

[@djfull4442]

Stupid door / stupid button / stupid gate // Flashback xD

[@deriruamsl]

the flashback is too funny :D :D

[@LambentBoleyn]

3:12 xDDD EPIC FAIL! omg, this made me laugh so hard! awesome work dude! loved this!

[@LoonyLoo]

Aaah that's a shame. Still fun to watch though :P

[@Pirelli913]

Get to the Choppa!

[@xRikux89]

@imogen123456789 It's from another video of mine. Look for "TR4 - KV5 without the Jeep."

[@TyWalkerMusic]

lol at the flashback

[@Tombrunnerh9]

Wow amasing

[@LittleSchleich]

This Is Awesom! I Can't get There xD But Know I Get There And I Didn't Kill willard xP

[@KratosBadass]

I trying same trick long time ago and daaaaam i was killed many times...

[@pkzadam115able]

@xRikux89 hey u um u cud deffanatly use flight patch and yes of corse u can so :)

[@VideoGammerMan]

xD so fun !

[@TekkenGirl4Lyfe]

I know how to get through that gate. Press L2, R2, L2 x2, R2, L2, R2, L2, R2, L2 x4, R2, L2, R2 x4, then L2.

[@thegoldbarracuda]

LOL You failed alot. But still nice and epic.

[@Magicacoca]

Lol, hilarious x°D
