Tomb Raider I 1 Walkthrough Palace Midas

Tomb Raider I 1 Walkthrough Palace Midas

Hi, Welcome to the Palace Midas. Level 7 Objectives: Find the room with the five switches and use these in different combinations to open four different doors. Three of the doors lead to areas where you'll find lead bars. The three lead bars must then be turned into gold by a magical process, which you must discover. The fourth door leads to the level exit, where you'll use the three gold bars to open the final door. NOTE: See that large medipak way, way up there on top of the light stone structure to the left of the switch platform? You can't get it without cheating, but it can be done. Check out the note on the Unreachable Large medipak, at the end of the walkthrough. USING THE CORNER BUG TO GET THE UNREACHABLE LARGE MEDIPACK: There are many seemingly unreachable places in the various Tomb Raider games. One particularly enticing one is the light stone structure with the large medipak in the ROOM WITH SQUARE PILLARS AND FIVE SWITCHES. To get there, you can use a technique that players call the "Corner Bug" or "Jump Trick." (Jeff Reid brought this to my attention, but I believe the corner bug was a known quantity before it was applied to this particular spot in the game.) (The following sequence is shown in this set of screenshots.) Take a standing jump from the switch platform to the tall, square pillar to the left of the switches. From there, take a running jump over to the middle ledge of the light stone structure. Turn so Lara is facing the light stone block and the open room is on her right. Sidestep to the right until her right foot is at the edge. Then turn about 45 degrees to the right so Lara is facing the switch platform. Jump straight up and down in place repeatedly and Lara will creep forward toward the corner of the block. If you've positioned her correctly, after a couple of jumps, you'll notice her left shoulder and foot start to merge into the block. Keep jumping. Then, at a certain critical point, she'll suddenly pop up to the top of the block above, right next to the medipak. Why? As Lara creeps forward, the game program interprets her position as being INSIDE the block. It knows this can't be true, so it "corrects" by repositioning her on top of the block. This is obviously a bug in the game, but apparently the programmers meant it to be exploited, or they wouldn't have put goodies up there. If you need more help using the corner bug, check out my useful bugs page for additional tips and screenshots. After getting the medipak, drop back down to the lower block, jump over to the nearest square pillar and from there, jump to the platform with the switches.
