How to unlock the Central Shaft Survivor achievement in Tomb Raider: Anniversary - Definitive Guide

The Central Shaft is the massive room you have to make your way up in the second level. It's really easy to make a mistake and fall to your death, and there's also a chance you can be knocked off the platforms by enemies fireballs. So save every time you reach a checkpoint (which is whenever you reach a new platform), and reload if you die.

This is obtained in the 'Great Pyramid' level of 'The Lost Island' chapter.

Near to the beginning of this level you will reach a small open area that is very very high. This is the central shaft, there is a lava pit at the bottom of it and ledges/platforms/poles etc scattered around the edges as you move higher upwards.

Altogether there are 5 ledges for you to reach. To get from one ledge to the next you need to perform certain moves and skills. Most of the time there is a button for you to shoot when on a ledge, shooting this button will make poles or rings appear from the wall. The rings and poles are timed so therefore you need to be quick to use them so you can get to the next ledge. You simply need to reach the top of the shaft without dying to earn yourself the trophy.

TIP: As you reach each of the 5 ledges there will be a checkpoint, I recommend you save at each checkpoint in case you die. That way you can load this save and the death will not count. There are sometimes flying enemies that appear out of cocoons on the walls, just be alert for when they spring out and attack you because some of their fireball moves can knock you off of the edge.
