Husband Plays Tomb Raider 4 - Coastal Ruins

[@duffster84]

You let him use a medi just before a level change? -5 husband points 😂

[@Raidercast]

@@duffster84 😮‍💨 nooooo 🤫

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

Ha ha ha! Let the guy play! That the beauty of playing a game the first time.

[@duffster84]

@@sebastijanglozinic8630 oh it’s only Chris who’s getting the gentle ribbing here. For a first time playthrough Alfredo is doing amazing… took me days to figure out a) how to get into the adventure area and b) what to do with the hook 🥴

[@rvnholm]

Love how much more confident Alfredo is while playing! Like he controls Lara so damn well! This comes from a TR fan who has been playing TR since she was four years old in 1996 🤩

[@Raidercast]

@@rvnholm he’ll appreciate that!

[@gamer-8955]

Been binge watching the husband plays playlist while waiting for this. Love love love watching Alfredo go through these classic Tomb raider games

[@Raidercast]

@@gamer-8955 glad you’re enjoying the whole journey! 🙌

[@TombRaiderSyd]

The improvement in his control of Lara is wonderous! I checked out some TR1 videos too!

[@killadog84]

You can also shotgun the skeletons off a ledge if theyre close to a drop. They break as they hit the ground. Pretty cool little trick.

[@Aleksandr017]

2:23 that looked so in sync it deserves an actual achievement badge 🏅

[@lance694]

I've been waiting for Alexandria since you guys started TR2. Hands down my favorite hub. The carnival vibes, the gorgeous seaside view 😍 absolute perfection. So excited to see Alfredo's reaction!

[@Raidercast]

@@lance694 It’s one of my faves too, that sunset sky ❤️❤️❤️

[@lance694]

@@Raidercast 31:17 - your face when he first sees the ocean view 😭 I'm grinning right along with you, Chris. We need this level remastered. I would die 😂

[@Raidercast]

I love it so much 🥰

[@ReactionZero]

Looking forward to seeing Alfredo in the Amusement Park lol

[@Raidercast]

Such a fun part of the game 😁

[@ReactionZero]

I was hoping to see Alfredo suffer a bit at the target range and then you hit him with the explosive ammo trick just to see him mad at you... Dang.

[@Victorcolongarcia]

We got the remakes! So happy for all of us 🎉

[@manekineko6322]

I still remember that some years ago, while replaying the game, the scene at 40:31 went a bit different for me. Basically one of the two skeletons...uhm...how can I say? Miscalculated the jump and, well...fell to his death and crumbled on the floor 😂 I always think of that moment and smile whenever I get to that part. Loving the gameplay and you guys are great! Never stop being amazing. Hugs from Italy ❤ P.s. I would like to add: a way to make so that the skeletons don't disturb you anymore, would be to shoot them in the head with a normal dart. Tricky but at least they won't bother you anymore. Or just shoot them with an explosive dart, that surely works to annihilate them from existence!

[@Raidercast]

LOVE it when the enemies fail by themselves! 😂

[@LolaCroft]

Another Italian here - well I had the opposite luck, because I remember once I found a skeleton waiting for me on the hills of the coast right as I reached the area for the first time, rather than staying hidden and spawning later! So scary 😂

[@lionocyborg6030]

35:03 I remember as a kid in 1999/2000 my brother & dad saying the sea anemones here could sting you but they must have been talking about real ones (which I already knew) as when I got here myself on PSP in 2009 the in-game ones do nothing & are just scenery.

[@ahskogen]

Can’t wait for Alfredo to give the controls of Angel Of Darkness a try!

[@jacketnine4303]

Be ready for the Angel of Phantoms)

[@helibloo3867]

Thanks for another great level guys, Alfredo is doing so well, his confidence has grown so much which reflects in his game play & moves 😊

[@DazBradyLM]

Yay I finally have time to write a comment. Loving the videos so far. Alfredo is doing so well. This is my favourite Tomb Raider game and so many great memories are coming back. So thank you very much. And good luck for the next level.

[@Raidercast]

Thanks! Really pleased you’re enjoying the series. We had a lot of fun making it 🙌

[@drfudge208]

25 years later and coastal ruins is still just as beautiful as I remembered ❤

[@AndyHgaming]

Chris, for the skeletons, besides using the explosive crossbow ammo, you can also use the shotgun to shoot them off the ledge/ down into a pit/into the water. When they're jumping across the ledges, just make sure to shoot while they're in mid-air. Maybe next time Alfredo can also try that strategy :).

[@FreyFox87]

I always remember that you can blast the skeletons off the ledges with a shotgun and smash them to pieces, but for some reason I kept forgetting I could just blow them up too!

[@disapearingboi]

Swimming seems much harder in this game than any other TR. I don't know why but Lara gets stuck on everything. #Poor Alfredo

[@Raidercast]

YES! I don't understand why. I'm glad it's not just our version of the game though.

[@Magical8961]

I don’t think you can surface in a current!

[@Pencliff]

That perfect double kill of the low rate goons, gotta love it

[@scytheslash]

Alfredo hates using the "Look" button 🤭

[@duffster84]

I only discovered the explosion thing with skeletons on my most recent playthrough. Before that I had to use the slow way (shotgunning them off a ledge).

[@Potkanka]

There's also the option of using the crossbow with lasersight to shoot off their head (so they can't see you) or shoot off their arms (so they have nothing to attack you with). Probably the slowest option unless you're a very good shot :D

[@Raidercast]

It’s a good method, especially if you want to save explody-solutions for later in the game 🦂

[@LolaCroft]

I always thought explosive darts were pretty much the only way to kill those skeletons! I even restarted the game once cause I had used a few of them in some previous level and didn't have a sufficient amounts for all the skellies 😂

[@lionocyborg6030]

11:59 Sunset? This section takes place in afternoon, as seen in the FMV.

[@LadyCroft1981]

Ah the skelly boys...so fun making them go boom!

[@owenjolley351]

18:50 *His face.* 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jackkiernan5950]

I'm enjoying the journey with you guys it's a delight watching the last revelation being played, the catacombs is going be fantastic! 😎🙏🌟

[@lionocyborg6030]

24:30 What do you bet this machine was built in Hyrule? 😉

[@suburbantimewaster9620]

Tomb Raider 4, my very first Tomb Raider game!

[@saintberry6460]

"Over my dead body..." and all I can hear is "sexy, sexy body, sexy se-sexy..."

[@UltraMelancholia]

Alfredo and the Egyptian Adventure was everything I hoped for 😂

[@enid9911]

30:55 I loved how he jumped into the cutscene but then she slid back. The area is truly beautiful but the skeletons.... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

[@Yonatan_Max]

2:42 It sounds like the henchmen are puking lol

[@ggerehrt3249]

Vest watch: only Lara. Having not played this game in years I really am blown away by how cinematic this is and what they achieved on the hardware. It’s such a huge step up from TR3.

[@Raidercast]

@@ggerehrt3249 🎽

[@-havgab-5576]

No way, that explosion ammo works down there😭😭

[@Demowan]

The part where you have to take the hook from the wall had me lost and stuck in this set of levels for months back then ! Horrible. So counter-intuitive. I would go back and forth endlessly, between the coastal ruins, the catacombs, Poseido's temple etc, to no avail.

[@Raidercast]

100% - one of those tiny little 'not even remotely obvious' points of the game that could be helped slightly by, well, anything? Possibly a diagram of a stick with a hook that Lara sees on the floor. A cutscene of Lara saying she can't reach and needs something to 'hook it' with. Anything.

[@rosannam7623]

Did you know if you use your lasersight you can zoom in and shoot the skeleton dudes in the head and it makes them run around like crazy it's actually pretty funny 😂

[@Raidercast]

Omggg this just gave me the biggest flashback! I’d totally forgotten this! 😂

[@JoaoGabriel-hk8ub]

I'll drink for every time Alfredo curses o the next level haha

[@Raidercast]

DANGER GAME 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@jordannbauer6186]

Alfredo I'm sorry but Chris read my mind "and then he goes and runs into the same spike trap"😂

[@Raidercast]

🤭🤭🤭

[@Potkanka]

12:42 I might be wrong but it sounded like Chris was about to start singing Secret Mission from Galavant. If so, great taste! Ha, the way Alfredo considered taking the key with the hook obvious, I wonder if herhaps other not-so-clear puzzles will actually be super simple to him? Like the sprinkler in Cairo :D Well, congrats on entering the Catacombs! I kinda feel the Alexiandria area is the most complicated (more than Cairo or Giza), but perhaps you'll prove me wrong in the next episode(s) :)

[@Raidercast]

@@Potkanka hush hush hush.. but first another drink darararRARA 😂 Galavant reference unlocked! ❤️ Loved that show!

[@Potkanka]

@@Raidercast Yay! Love that show too, I've been listening to the songs again lately :D

[@bambi9935]

I LOVE watching your face Chris as Alfredo progresses in the game

[@jackmccullagh9417]

I just want to know what the guy who came up with "Egyptian Adventure" was smoking when he thought having a theme park with death traps was a good idea 😂😂

[@foxywoxy0w068]

I think what we should really be asking isn't what he was smoking, but what what he DIDN'T smoke.

[@Teletubbo89]

My favourite part ❤

[@lionocyborg6030]

27:47 I thought the same as a kid when I first saw this part in 1999/2000 and was disappointed it just led to the catacombs. Especially as the catacombs is one of the worst most boring levels in the game.

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

So have the remasters been confirmed yet or is Aspr too focused on Legacy of Kain right now?

[@Raidercast]

Nothing confirmed yet, but I’m trying to build some buzz and get people talking about them more, in order to make them more likely to notice the demand for second set!

[@PuppyPiers]

Alexandria is where the exploration and back and forth between levels gets really complex and I love it so much. Loved the Egyptian Adventure struggles lmao, such a wacky lil area. I'm mad you didn't let Alfredo struggle for at least a bit with the scope on the target room before telling him about the explosive trick 😒 lol another great vid.

[@Raidercast]

As the series goes on I do give him more time to figure it out, but it always has to be a balance - ultimately to keep levels within around 1h - but also due to file sizes on my old pc (you can hear the fans go mad a lot!) - and also because I don’t want viewers to be bored waiting for him to solve it for too long! 🙈

[@PuppyPiers]

@Raidercast understood lol, just wished you let him try the manual aim ay least once 🤭 but it's cool. Excited to see more 🫶
