I prefer playing the game with keyboard and mouse most of the time due to the better accuracy and control, but there is this ledge in the Sanctuary of the Scion where you must latch your grapple hook in a wall and jump onto a ledge. I've tested every input possible with a keyboard, but it seems a controller with true analog input is obligatory to grab this ledge. Can anyone else confirm if they ever managed to grab this ledge when playing KB+M? Because it's an important heads up IMO, in case you don't have an Xinput controller.

Link below, it's this part.

It is possible with keyboard and mouse as i completed the game several months ago with those controls.

But i remember this part gave me a lot of troubles (every areas in the sanctuary of scion level gave me a lot of troubles anyways) , maybe my old fingers agility of pressing the wrong key instead of the rope key while jumping didn't helped :D but i had to redo it hundred of times , very frustrating.

So much that i had to watch how people were doing it on youtube videos like this one :

still failed a lot, until i managed it.

Reinstalled the game, and loaded the save i had from this exact section.

I moved to the special point that you have in the screenshots and ... succeeded 3 times in a row to jump and catch with the rope grapple.

Here's what i do , move to that specific pillar ledge, and leave the Right direction key pressed, so Lara looks ready to jump like in my screenshot :

now -without leaving your finger pressed from the Right direction key- , press the Jump key and just after pressing it and Lara started to jump, you should see the wall ring icon appearing like in my screenshot :

Press the rope grapple key immediately, Lara will launch her grapple and catch that ring on the wall.
During this jump and grapple throw sequence, you do not need to touch your mouse, only the jump then grapple throw key (while holding the Right direction key too) .
Some finger gymnastic ;)

Then the tricky part .
once your grapple got stuck to the ring, you're going to run left and right on the wall to get some speed and height.
BUT there's a point in that running left and right loop in which the camera will change when you'll gain her maximum height : it's there you will fail if you jump as the camera change will screw up completely your jump.

You must jump 1 loop before the camera change, at that exact point of my screenshot

When Lara is at the same level as the edge, if you don't jump there and do another right then left run in the wall to gain speed and height, it's when the camera will change and you'll miss your jump.

At that point of the screensht, while you are still pressed on the LEFT direction key, it's when you need to press Jump and Lara will be able to catch the ledge of the next pillar.

If the camera change, just stop running, and when lara is static (but still holding the grapple), start the wall running again until you reach the correct moment to jump
