Cliffside Village - Collapsing Buildings

The next platforming sequence involves making your way through a series of rickety shacks built on the side of a cliff; hence the level name. The way forward is fairly obvious, but there are a few possible paths. The main thing is to keep moving. If you linger too long, the structures will collapse with Lara inside.

Start by going up the wooden ramp ahead on the left. Cross the platform.

Then take a running jump toward the hanging banner. Lara will grab on automatically.

Swing forward trapeze style and jump into the next building.

Here you can go up the ramp on the left or down along the right side of the room. If you go up on the left side, jump from the top of the ramp to grab the ledge above, as shown above.

If you choose to go down and to the right, skip to the screenshots for the alternate path. The rest of this page covers the left path.

After grabbing the edge as shown in the previous screenshot, pull up, cross over the ledge and jump onto the dangling crate ahead on the left. Jump from there into the upper room of the next building. Stay to the left as you go through, since there's no floor on the right.

As you go, the house tilts forward and Lara slides down to the lower level.

(*)Run through the room and jump into the next building. Again, the floor on the right is missing. So stay to the left.

Run and jump to grab a second hanging banner, swing forward and crash through a flimsy shoji wall into the upper level of the next house.

As this house tilts forward, jump down into the next one, which has a ramp on its near edge. Veer right to cross the floor of this house.

Then jump down into the next one. At this point, the floor tilts forward and Lara slides into a larger, more solid building, and a cut scene begins.
