The Norse Connection - Column Room

Tomb Raider Underworld screenshot
With the room's entrance behind Lara, climb the first column on the right. When you reach the top, climb around the column so Lara is facing the second column, which is broken off at the bottom. Point the camera toward it and jump to grab it.

NOTE: If you're having trouble jumping from column to column, understand that it doesn't matter how Lara is positioned on the column where you start. The important thing is to point the camera toward the column or ledge where you want her to go. Then just press Forward + Jump and she'll do it correctly.

Climb to the top and jump onto the ledge behind Lara (i.e., above the first column). Here it may help to point the camera at the ledge behind Lara and then jump forward to land there.

Cross the ledge and turn to face out over the room. Jump forward to perch on top of the broken column ahead. Point the camera toward the next column and jump forward to grab it. Climb up a bit and then jump to the broken ledge beyond.

Turn right and take a running from this ledge to perch on the nearest broken column on the other side of the room. Turn left, point the camera toward the next broken column and jump forward to land on it. Finally, jump from there to the ledge ahead.
