   They’ll probably patch the workaround glitch first, leaving you stranded by the crate glitch

   A friend of mine was just telling about this last night – he was playing on the 360 and he also had this glitch happen to him. I also played on the 360, luckily, there were no issues for me.

   Unforeseen stuff like this is why I think all games like Tomb Raider should let you save any time to whatever save slot you want. In situations where I can make multiple saves, I usually have 3 or 4 saves that I rotate, like backing up my hard drive. So in an event where a glitch like this happens, you can go back to a previous (and hopefully recent) save and try it again. When there are auto-saves like in TR, this isn’t possible.

      I do exactly this too.
      Been burned in the past so I do the grandfather, father, son method of saves rotation. That’s the problem with auto save only on one profile. Lucky I did not get this glitch on PC though.

   reminds me of when i played Warp on XBLA. Didn’t want to replay the whole game to get a collectable that was in a “non-backtrackable area” but through persistence managed to exploit the clipping and walk around on the ceiling edges of the map to get over a locked door. good times!

   i really loved that game, didn’t seem to gather too much attention though. kind of like abe’s odyssey meets portal. XBLA version, do not play PC.

   So i maybe brought this upon myself but I am on the shipwreck beach. instead of going straight to the camp like you are instructed to I was messing around and ended up going a bit ahead in the level. a couple voice checkpoints later i tried to go back to meet with the crew. doing this made me not able to get the required equipment off of the pirate ship and therefor i did not get the compound bow. now the game expects me to prance merrily on my way without the necessary tools. does anyone have any ideas on how to get around this glitch/bug and get the compound bow.
