I'm stuck on the wall run on the Damocles room.not the first run but the second.I can't seem to get Lara to jump on top the pillar.any ideas or help I thank you for.

This is the same move you use in the Croft Mansion exercise room to get the artifact. At the top of the swing, let go of the joystick, then move the joystick in the direction you want to jump and press X. You can practice this move at the mansion.

thanks SteveF for your info.I did not go to the Croft home to practice or even look there.but I did cause you saud that is were you practice this move that you do on the pillars.but I can't do that move there either and I'm tryed of trying.it never jumps backwards while she is swing on the grapple.and there is no going higher on the swings,she swings the most she can and it is never enouch.I run into the same problem on Ledgends to.I got to a piont where I could not go any farther no matter what I tryed of did,and this looks to be the same thing.the old tomb raider worked better for me.I had no trouble with the control,but the control is just not working well for me.so I guess I really done with this one to.unless someone has a code or good idea...thanks.

This may not be the good idea you're looking for, but I figured out in another part of the game that if you are just hanging in place and press X, Lara will jump backwards just like jumping off a ladder. I may have been wrong about using the joystick when I want to jump off a wall. I probably just got lucky the times it worked. The point is, if you press X when she is moving, she will jump in the direction she is running. At the top of a swing, there is a moment when she is facing the wall. If you press X at that moment she should jump away from the wall.

I also struggled with this . However it is really easy, it all just depends on the angle you approach it from.
I found that the best way was to get yourself facing along the length of the wall (rather than facing the wall itself)and then pressing up and then down on the joystick to get the swing going. At the end of the swing when pushing 'up' you should be opposite the pillar that you want to jump to. At this point press and hold left followed by jump. I guarantee you that you'll need maximum one practice if you do it this way!

Yea I had lotsa trouble with that level 2.........
I'd scream and almost rip the PS2 controller in half.

At the end of the wall run,point the analog stick toward yourself (this requires LOTS of practice!)and Lara will leap backwards to the pillar.

Happy to help!!!!!!!!!
