Hey guys,
I was looking for some shortcuts in Research Base and I found those 2 OoBs, so that you can skip the stealth part in the forest.

There is this third OoB but it's a time loss... At first I wanted to skip the whole area, that's why.

So there was an Xbox One update. If clipping through walls seemed hard until now. Well now it is imposible at least with the backscramble and then turn your aim method. The game actively pushes you out of the wall. So absolutely avoid updating ^^.

Also they gave walls that didn't have colision in the Skip at the very end of the game a colision.

Kinda sad I wanted to speedrun the game but I can't now. Also this might mean that wallcliping by that method will not be posible in the PC version from the begining.

Here are the patch notes
http://forums.eu.square-enix.com/showthread.php?t=182991

I didnt do the entire Corela skip to check it if still works, but I guess I should check the whole thing out. I also tested the aim clipping and it still works, at least for the OoB in the gulag right before you obtain the rifle

I tried the whole Corela skip. It changes a bit but it's still posible. Just a bit longer. There is that one wall where you used to just walk through. now you have to AX-Pump up the right so you can get over the wall. then you have to jump over the Edge of the wall onto a white pillar. Then drop through the floor. It's not that hard to figure out but it's anoying. For some reason the start of the Corela skip where you jump through the wall at the dead tree is just as easy for some odd reason though XD

Oh yeah btw. There is kind of a... let's call it Setup... for that AX pump Jump in the Prophets Tomb. There is a big white rock in that wall and you want to try to get above the middle of that white rock with 3 Pump Jumps. Then hold the stick towards the Pilar you want to jump onto and jump. I had a 50% success rate with that. That's why I can't realy call it a Setup. But all my succesfull tries had 1 thing in common and that was that I Pumpjumped 3 times and that I was above that weird white stone in the middle of the wall.

okay, only 2 things are altered in the runs with Patch #2.

Narnia Skip is fixed

New Corela route at the end. with this wall here though, we might be able to get a bigger skip out of it? idk, needs testing.

Jup thats what I meant in the Corela skip. You can jump on the second little wall imediately though and you can walk around inside that tower. just the floor close to the big wall you climb is not solid.

Hey guys, here's a small skip, saves around 30 sec. Let me if that works on XBO.

brassmaster

Confirmed on XBO. a note for it as well, make sure you are turning a full 180 degrees to clip both the door and the wall/door (wall on one side, door on the other). pretty easy clip Cheesy

Glad to hear that is useful for everyone ! Smiley

I've found something else but it's not really usable in runs for the moment.
It may become interesting with an easier and quicker setup. Still fun.

Hey guys, coming in late I know but I got the game for Christmas and just now got around to playing/beating it. Looking forward to finding skips and running the game! Just a couple of thoughts, I noticed that several of the OoBs utilize objects in close proximity with walls. Seems like the game handles Lara being 'wedged' by pushing her out of bounds. I recommend keeping a look out for all occurrences for possible uses (I know there's tons. Sorry)

Also, has anybody checked for Step-up clipping yet? It's the same animation as in the previous game so I'm wondering if we can use it to get OoB as well. So far I've only found a few small time savers, nothing significant but I haven't really looked yet.

Oh, has anybody else noticed that sometimes Lara will instantly snap to the top of her 'climbing tool at the end of the rope' thing? (Can't recall what that's called) If we can find a consistent way to get that to work it'll cut down the time by a good bit.

EDIT: I've also noticed that the ability to jump or scramble immediately after a loading screen still exists.

PC version is out. Woot!
At the moment I can only run the game on my laptop, which barely gets 30 FPS on the lowest settings. Sad

But at least it means the next little skip should work on xbox as well:

Should save between 5 to 10 seconds, depending on how long it takes you to kill those 3 guys instead.
Hopefully I'll have a brand new PC soon and then find out what benefits high FPS has.

Found an OoB at the big statue puzzle that's really precise in how to get it. Hopefully it leads to something cause I have a really good name lined up

Hey everyone, first time posting.
While playing Rise of The Tomb Raider on PC i managed to find a little timesaver for certain cave openings.
It's very simple, you roll towards the opening and jump, if done correctly you'll jump through it skipping the animation.
Enjoy.

Nice find Eydas, this works on X360, it's just a bit harder to get over the fence. Lara doesn't seem to go as high on wall as she goes on PC.

I found those 2 things lately that make the route safer if not faster. I was tired of dying because of the randomness of these segments.
First one shows a way to avoid "death floor" at the end of Corela Skip. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work on XBO because of the fence clipping just before the fire camp:

Second one is an OoB to bypass the normal way at The Tower.

There is a last part I'd like to skip so much, it is the first part of the Chamber of Souls, just before the Chopper fight. This place can't stop killing my runs, there is nothing I can do...
Btw, what about Corela Skip on pc ? I saw on Ela's stream that the wall to go OoB is now always solid, I'm wondering if that works with 360 clipping strat.

So I don't know what this skip is called, but here is a different way to do it:

Eydas

2016-01-29 05:19:27 pm

New method for doing the skip in the Abandoned Mines:

This was done on PC but as far as I can tell there's nothing preventing this from working on both versions of Xbox.
As you can tell, this is not very consistent, but the previous method wasn't consistent either. Actually, I think this one's easier.
Just be aware that the clip's setup is very precise and can take quite a few tries.

I've been having problems with xbox live so I just got patch 3 a few min ago and unfortunately that's true. You can't get the Prophete's skip the old way either anymore (luckily Eydas has already found something else ^^). I'm afraid for the rest of the game.
I feel forced to go for a run to check and retry every skip, these changes modifies the 360 route in a way, especially concerning skill points.

EDIT: After checking all skips using Expedition mode, it seems that now (patch 3) X360 and XBO versions are true twin sisters: no more Narnia, Atlas, nor Flamethrower skip... Still remains the Safe Corela Skip on 360.

so since i couldnt do the method Eydas showed off i toyed around and found a slightly different way to do it

i just get in there by gaining height wich is easy the tricky part is to get under the floor. maybe this can be improved atm i am jumping against the wall and roll under there while pressing W and D to get down there simply jump Smiley
