On my PC Tomb Raider Legend, how do I get Lara Croft to let go of her pistols quickly ?

Question

I keep asking this question and people have given me nice answers but still does NOT help. On my PC Tomb Raider Legend, I'm at King Arthur's lake with the serpent. After shooting the bell and distracting the serpent, I CANNOT LET GO OF THE PISTOLS QUICK ENOUGH TO USE MY GRAPPER. By the time Lara puts away the pistols and I can use the grappler, the serpent is no longer distracted. I have tried using the Z-key which creates a red circle with dot in the middle. If I push the Q-key fast enough, Lara will throw the grappler. However, while firing after pressing the Z-key, I cannot see what the serpent is doing because the screen shot is narrowed. IS THERE ANY WAY TO HIT THE SERPENT WITH THE CAGES WITHOUT FIRING ON THE BELLS FIRST? IN OTHER WORDS, CAN THE SERPENT BE HIT WITH THE CAGES WHILE NOT DISTRACTED?

Answer 1

I also got that problem. However, the problem wasn't that Lara draws pistol too slowly as I thought :P

My best solution here: When you shoot the bell, as soon as the serpent turns its head, IMMEDIATELY stop shooting and patiently use grapple.

Special Note: DO NOT wait for the serpent to be attracted to the bell after a long time. DO NOT worry that it will turn back because you don't use enough bullets for the bell to distract it. It won't. Absolutely won't ^^
