Who likes this game? and T-rex help needed!

You see those three spiky things? Run towards one of them and "enrage" the Rex by shooting at him. Stop shooting, then dodge the Rex as he attacks you with his "rage" attack. Now when the "aim" turns red hit the shoot-button to make a head shot.

If the timing and direction of the T-Rex movement is right, it will run straight into the "spiky thing" and lose about 1/3 of it's hp. After that you "only" need to do the same thing two times more. YES!

Yes it's a jolly darn good game. Altough one bug have caused me to have to replay one hour in her mansion. Remember this if you play it; don't die after taking the bow before a check point, because you will then lose it and have no way of getting it back.

Thanks, i'll try it later

Why won't that adreline shot work??? The t-rex gets enraged, I use the right mouse button to lock on. I then use shift left and arrow keys but the screen won't slow down and it does not give the enemy any more damage than usual.

I managed to kill the t-rex in a different way, maybe I was just lucky. I didn't even think about the spikes! You know the temple ruins, where you can't climb up... well I ran along the front of the temple keeping Lara close to it (if you look at the temple entrance, I ran from right to left). As soon as I reached the end, I went around the corner and ducked down. The t-rex couldn't get to me from there. I then managed to stand, did a right mouse click to aim and fired 10 shots at a time, waiting for the rage to go down each time. It took about 20 minutes and about 400 bullets! but I eventually got it.

I havn't got a clue about what your saying about those red spiky things! The first time I tried, I got his health down about an 8th and then he smashed his head into that temple ruin! Maybe I could have climbed up it and ran away, but now he won't do it again!

It was a great game until that happened!

The spiky things aren't red. They're those big horizontal logs on stands. There are two on one side of the valley. One on the other.

Enrage the the T-Rex. Pre-position Lara so she's between him and an intact spiked log. Use the Adrenaline Dodge to avoid the T-Rex when he charges. He'll hit the spiked log and lose about a third of his health.

This will also destroy that spiked log. Use the other two spiked logs in a similar fashion. This will trigger an interactive cutscene where the T-Rex smashes into the Temple and dies. Walk up his corpse to find a cog and the path to exit the Lost Valley.

Here's Stellalune's detailed walkthrough of The Lost Valley. Search for "FIGHTING THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX."

It's a long section, but worth reading all the same.

Here's a video guide with step-by-step instructions.

I did this. You can too.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

well read the manual.. you need accuracy.. too soon and it will not work.. too late and the monster hits you

well, me and my dad play this game and we were stuck too. We didn't try the above suggestion, which looks like it would work, but another way is to get it stuck or find a place where he can't kill you. Then, just shoot. It's worked for us. Helpful or not.

Good for you making it past the T-Rex! Just know that there's a later boss where you have to master the Adrenaline dodge to beat.
