Madubu Gorge - Longer Route Downriver (part 7) -
Getting Back from Secret #2
The next jump is a little tricky. So save the game if you can. You're aiming for the tall, angled block on the right side of the pool, just below the ledge you jumped from to reach the rock ladder. (It's marked with an 'X' i the screenshot above.)
To set up the jump, start by walking backward to the edge of the wooden platform. Then sidestep to the left corner.
Take one sidestep to the right.
Then pivot to the right so Lara is facing just a smidgen to the left of the overhanging block. This is crucial. If you angle her too far to the right, she'll hit her head on the block when you jump. Too far to the left and she'll miss the landing.
Check the angle by holding Look and pressing Up/Down.
Now take that running jump without grabbing.
As soon as you clear the overhanging rock, tap Right just lightly to veer in that direction...
...and land on the corner of the tall, angled block.
NOTE: If you're having trouble with my strategy, you might try positioning Lara at the back edge of the wooden platform, with her right hand against the wall. Then take the running jump along the wall and veer to the right in the air to stick the landing. I find the first method works best for me, but several players suggested this alternative.
Climb onto the ledge above. Turn right and take a running jump to grab the same rock ladder you climbed earlier. Climb to the top and follow the passage on the left to a small, flooded room.
