Tomb Raider Anniversary – How to Clear Egypt Obelisk of Khamoon Jump

How do you clear the below jump in the Tomb Raider Anniversary level Egypt – Obelisk of Khamoon?

A visual tutorial on tomb-raider-anniversary.com implies that you should just jump straight at the ledge, but I've tried it about 50 times with no luck.

What happens is that she stretches one arm out, and appears to be reaching for the long platform on the left, but hits the protruding edge on the right with her body, falls straight down and dies.

I also tried different timings with Lara's movement before she jumps. None seem to have any positive effect.

It appears there are a number of people who encountered the same issue.

Possible reported solutions include:

  • Changing the aspect ratio
  • Using manual grab
  • Changing anti aliasing
  • Reinstalling the game

After a bit of tweaking with the screen resolution, I was able to make the jump.

In my case, I was using a 4:3 aspect ratio. I changed it to 16:9 (1920 x 1080), retried the jump and succeeded.
