| − | ==Checkpoint Reloading== | + | ==Introduction== |
| − | Possibly the most basic and commonly used trick, is reloading checkpoint in certain areas to skip short cutscenes. To perform; simply wait for the "TR" logo to appear at the following points, pause the game and select reload checkpoint.
| + | Tomb Raider 2013 is a great game to speedrun, with several runners and lots of glitches and tricks to show off. Generally all the tricks on console work on PC with some exceptions. There are many PC only skips which are labeled as PC only on the skip page. |
| | | | |
| − | Checkpoint Reloading is used in the following places in the any% speedrun (Chronological order).
| + | This KB will get you up to speed on known tricks on the [[Tomb Raider 2013/Techniques|Techniques]] page, and help you select a route for yourself on the [[Tomb Raider 2013/Selecting a Route|Selecting a route / Skips]] page. |
| − | * Intro: After pulling the arrow out of Lara's hip. (1-2s)
| + | |
| − | * After sliding down the slope after the "Sam's pack!" cutscene. (1-2s)
| + | |
| − | * After the QTE where Lara shoots wolves while her leg is stuck in a trap. (This stops the game from crashing at the next campsite after doing the door clip.)
| + | |

| + | |
| − | * After jumping to safety from the crashed plane chase sequence. (After lighting the fuel) (5s)
| + | |
| − | * After performing the "Fire Arrow Skip" and triggering the next cutscene. (This one is needed to "heal" Lara. Because you skipped the cutscene where she gets the medical supplies. You monster.)
| + | |
| − | * Before Performing the backup "Grim Skip 2" (This is to despawn guys on the second platform, or to manipulate AI, depending on who you ask)

| − | * During a cutscene with Mathias on your way to the helicopter. (20s, this one actually requires a quit to main menu, then reloading)
| + | |
| − | * After the QTE on the bridge shortly after the above skip. (This allows you to skip the next cutscene. 5s with the cutscene skip.)
| + | |
| − | * After retrieving the block and tackle and sliding down some ropes, you'll get a checkpoint just before Lara falls in the water. (10s)
| + | |
| − | * As part of the "Bunker Skip".

| − | ==Tackle Flipping (Door Clip Method #1)==
| + | Current best runs are: http://www.speedrun.com/tr2013 |
| − | Tackle Flipping is a method used primarily to clip through doors. To perform, hit the tackle button, then immediately move press backwards and forwards (Roughly a 0.2 second window). Lara should flip directions very rapidly, then continue straight. You can use pause buffering to make this easier. This technique can also be used to clip very steep slopes. (See "Alex Skip")
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''This technique requires that Lara has NOT unlocked tier 2 abilities yet. Or else the tackle is replaced with a melee attack which doesn't work nearly as well or even at all.'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Tackle flipping can be used in the following areas:
| + | |
| − | * After shooting the Deer. (1m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu2SP-SJfiY
| + | |
| − | * Inside the Fort before the Radio Tower. (12s) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8fxDVhhtuI
| + | |
| − | * At the door to the radio tower (2m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2h7A00DZZU
| + | |
| − | * At the Shanty Town gate (1m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jetcq7fe4IE
| + | |
| − | * For some versions of the Bunker Skip. (~2m) ::Video Needed::
| + | |
| − | * For the Alex Skip. (4m) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yo59WJK_bc

| − | ===Pause Buffer Method===
| + | |
| − | You can use pause buffering in some cases to make this trick easier. It seems to work easier on lower FPS setups such as Consoles.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | With pause buffering the technique becomes:
| + | |
| − | * Hit tackle, then pause immediately.
| + | |
| − | * Hold backwards, then mash the pause button to pause/unpause the game until Lara switches direction to face the camera.
| + | |
| − | * Hold forward and unpause. PC runners may then need to continue buffering Lara's direction backwards then forwards a few more times, depending on your setup.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Without Pause buffering===
| + | |
| − | * Some PC runners simply mash backwards and forwards extremely quickly after tackling to produce the same result without buffering.
| + | |
| − | * It can help to bind additional keys which are easier to mash than the defaults for this.
| + | |
| − | * (TODO: Add PC runner's video, maybe get some more info added from a PC runner as well.)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Dirty Tricks Slide==
| + | |
| − | The dirty tricks slide is a very easy technique which allows Lara to slide through areas where she would normally be walking slowly while talking on the walkie-talkie. To perform, you need to have Dirty Tricks skill unlocked, then while going over any trigger where Lara pulls out her walkie-talkie, scramble, then press the tackle button during the scramble. If successful, Lara should slide around for the duration that she's talking, much faster than she otherwise would be moving.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Dirty Tricks Floating===
| + | |
| − | While sliding in this animation, gravity has no effect on Lara, so if you can fall off a ledge during the slide, she will float around for the duration of the call. After the call, gravity returns and Lara falls wherever she is at the time.

Tomb Raider 2013 is a great game to speedrun, with several runners and lots of glitches and tricks to show off. Generally all the tricks on console work on PC with some exceptions. There are many PC only skips which are labeled as PC only on the skip page.
