The Lost City - From the Broken Spire to the Highest Tower

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshot
When you're ready, take a running jump off the wooden ramp and latch onto the ice wall. Climb to the bumpy stone wall above.

As you ascend, a fireball from one of the distant trebuchets smashes into the wall above...

...and you must press Interact to hang on.

Climb up to the damaged area. Then jump to the left...

...continue climbing, and finally scramble onto the ledge above

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshotHere the view shifts as Lara looks down over the edge to spot hundreds of Deathless warriors streaming into the citadel.

She steels herself and peers around the next corner. Looks like the only way forward is up!

When you regain control, press Forward to sidestep along the narrow ledge.

More fireballs strike nearby, destroying the ledge on which you're standing.

You must then jump to the right and latch onto the wall of ice.

Climb up and around to the right.

Then continue climbing straight upward toward the tower as Trinity and the Deathless duke it out above.

When you reach the stone moulding above, wait here momentarily as part of the tower above crumbles and a shower of stones falls around you.

Then climb around to the left, jump and latch onto the ice wall...

...and then quickly climb to the left (not upward) as the ice gives way. Continue climbing straight up as far as you can go.

Rise of the Tomb Raider screenshotWhen Lara is clinging to the ice below the metal cross, jump straight up and grapple the cross. Climb the cable and...

...pull up onto the cross.

Before she can scramble all the way up, the Deathless soldier who's been following Lara overtakes her, grabs her foot, and nearly causes her to fall. Lara automatically draws her pistol, and you must then shoot the enemy repeatedly to dislodge him. (See the bug note in the main walkthrough if you're having issues here.) Now climb back up to trigger the next cutscene.
