------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tomb Raider Walkthrough Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GJ - Grab Jump(Action button + Direction) SJ - Standing Jump(Jump + Direction) SJG - Standing Jump Grab(Jump + Direction + Action button) RJ - Running Jump(Direction/Jump + Direction) RJG - Running Jump Grab(Direction/Jump + Action button) Left or Right is in relation to Lara. ================================================================================ The first 2 levels are easy and therefor don't need a guide. If you're stuck on Level 2, remember you can push things(use action button). ================================================================================ Level 3 - Lost Valley. ---------------------- The Shotgun is located near the Cog Mechanism, which is near the source of the river. To kill the Tyrannosaurus Rex find an entrance in the cliffs and shoot from safety. To do it in style run to the place where the 2nd Cog is located(on the broken bridge) and shoot it at leisure. You now need 3 cogs. Here is where they are situated: 1st Cog - Go into the Temple entrance(at the end of the valley). Dive down to the bottom of the waterfall, on the righthand side. 2nd Cog - Climb up to the entrance located to the left of the temple entrance. Do a RJG to get to the other side of the broken bridge. 3rd Cog - Find the waterfall which has water at the base. Swim underneath and then climb up to the highest platform. Secret 1 - Find climbable rocks located to the right of the temple entrance. Climb to the highest point and then jump onto the temple entrance roof. To get down slide down the slopes on the lefthand side of the temple roof. Secret 2 - By the 3rd Cog, in the corner of the rocks. Secret 3 - By the 3rd Cog, instead of swimming underneath the waterfall find the climbable rocks on the lefthand side. Climb up and then shimmy across the crack, you will be at the top of the waterfall. Secret 4 - By the Cog Mechanism. Drop off the lefthand side of the bridge and shimmy across the crack to the rivers source. Secret 5 - Use the 3 cogs on the Mechanism and swim to the end of the redirected water. Don't forget to collect the Shotgun. The entrance to the Tomb is behind the Waterfall. ================================================================================ Level 4 - Tomb Of Qualopec. --------------------------- Easy, just operate the switches and make the jumps. The switch next to the collapsing platform cannot be switched. Look out for the boulder trap located straight ahead as you enter the Tomb. There are 3 secrets on this level but I haven't a clue where they are. As you come out of the Waterfall entrance you will be shot at, if you carry on and climb over the rocks as if you were going to the Lost Valley you will find another MediKit. ================================================================================ Level 5 - St Francis Folly. --------------------------- To open the doors either side of the big room push the block onto the Ankh switches. Secret 1 - Door above block and switches. To reach the higher ledge position Lara with her feet next to the bottom of the sloped block on her immediate left as she walks through the door. Jump onto the slope and she will backflip onto another sloped block, she will now jump forwards towards the ledge, hold down the Action button to grab hold. Watch out for the weak platform at the top. Secret 2 - When you have opened the second locked door carefully walk around the corner and slide down the slope. Just before you reach the bottom jump so that Lara hits her head and falls onto the sloped platform, wait for Lara to reach the bottom of the slope and JG to the opposite door. Secret 3 - Instead of operating the switch to drain the water(right after Secret 2), fall into the water and find the other room in the ceiling. The next part has Lara climbing down a tall room, don't walk off any platforms without looking first, it's a long drop to the bottom!. Occassionally Bats will attack Lara, hold down the L button to prevent her from walking of a ledge whilst shooting them. Flick all the switches on the way down and they will open the doors to 4 sections. These are: Damocles - As soon as you collect the key the Swords will be activated. Either walk slowly through the columns or run and heal quickly any damage, be careful though as 1 sword can take 3/4 of your health if it hits you perfectly. Don't forget to collect the items above the Damocles Key. Thor - Run straight through the electricity. Stand on the switch until you hear a click, and then MOVE. Push the blocks to reach the high door. If you do these 2 first then Pierre will appear and try to shoot you. make your way to the bottom again to shoot him. Atlus - After killing the Gorilla walk through the gate. If you walk close to the boulder it will roll towards you. Quickly turn around and drop backwards(holding Action button) off the ledge at the bottom of the slope. The boulder will roll over the top of you. Neptune - Dive down and operate the switch, you cannot return to the surface without doing this. After operating the switch return to the surface for more air, and then collect the key from the end of the underwater corridor. Put all the keys in the locks at the bottom of the main room. ================================================================================ Level 6 - Colosseum. -------------------- To get into the Main Colosseum, go to the back of the Entrance Building on the right side and then climb up the 2 balconies. Secret 1 - Instead of going through the entrance to the Crocodile Pit jump over to the right of it(to the left of the water). The jumping is very tricky and one wrong jump will send you right back to the beginning. Shimmy across the crack above the Crocodiles to get past. Secret 2 - Climb up in the middle of the crack above the Crocodile Pit. Lions Den Puzzle - Timing is the key to this. The plate at the back opens the 2 gates. As soon as you walk over this RUN to the left gate and quickly pull the switch, turn around and quickly run to the next room. Timing is very tight so cut every corner. If the door is closing then try and jam yourself in it, it will reopen if you get caught in it. Secret 3 - Instead of leaping across to the platform that leads to the Gorilla Room, turn around and climb up the rocks behind. To avoid the rolling boulder fall into the hole. The KEY to the gates is hidden behind the moveable block, near the switch which opens the door at the end of the Gorilla Room. ================================================================================ Level 7 - Palace Midas. ----------------------- Don't step on Midas's hand, it will turn you to Gold(hint). The doors by the 5 switches can be opened by matching the symbols above the door to the switches. Y means ON(down) and the Ankh means OFF. YOOOO - This room is VERY tricky. The objective is to jump across the platforms and collect the Lead Bar at the end. The first 3 platforms can be made easily by running and holding down the Jump button. The last platform requires a RJG and this takes time to do. The flames will reignite whilst you are on the last platform, setting you alight. Quickly grab the Bar and then jump into the water, use a MedKit if your Health gets low. YOOOY - Save point. This is where you must take the 3 GOLD bars to. OOYYO - Pull block(with purple dots) and return to the room before. The roof will have collapsed making a slope. Make your way across the slope to the exit. Jump across to the T-Shaped water area. Secret 1 - Below you now(see above). Secret 2 - Swim down the centre of the T-shaped water area and swim under the ledge. The item can be obtained by going down the right side of the room. Position Lara at the bottom of the first V-shape(at the bottom of the first steep block) and then jump forward twice. It takes a bit of practise!. After killing the 3 Gorillas in the arches you will have to do a RJG to the opposite side. Look for the lowest point of the crack and aim for it. Look out for the weak platforms ahead. OOYOY - Pull back the block to find the switch. Carefully check every jump you make. The last jump is tricky, take 2 STEPS backwards and then do a SJG. Find MIDAS by going to the Garden Area and find the entrance above the Sundial. Secret 3 - By entrance to MIDAS. ================================================================================ Level 8 - The Cistern. ---------------------- 1st Key - On the HIGHER platform in the corner of the main room(above the bit where you have to shimmy across the crack). 2nd Key - In the room next to the Cistern(located off the Main room). Dive down through the grill floor and climb up to the top of the next room. Secret 1 - Look in the dark areas of the pool in the middle of the Main room. Secret 2 - Climb up the to the top of the Cistern room. Use the Cistern to change the height of the water. This will help you to get to the room containing the Gold Key. 1st & 2nd Grey Key - Located in the rooms found by going through the entrance in the pool in the Main room. Use the Switch to open the gate to the 2nd Key. Secret 3 - After going through the Gold Key door push the moveable block through the doorway(opened by operating the switch). Use this block to climb up to the high ledge. Exit by falling down the hole by the moveable block. ================================================================================ Level 9 - Tomb Of Tihocan. -------------------------- Go through the LEFT door at the top of the second tall room, timing the Swinging Blade. Find the way forward by pulling the switch(after shimmying across crack) and then falling into the water and swimming right. Look out for the Crocodile. Gold Key - Find the switch(behind the room with the spikes) and then go through the door. Jump for the crack not the door, when exiting do a SJ. The doors in the next section are opened by pushing the moveable block over the floorplates. Climb onto the block after pushing it, as Gorillas and Rats are released. Look out for the Double Boulder Trap in one of the rooms(look for the room with a MediKit near the doorway). Collect the Key. Collect the other Key by going through the high door. Walk slowly until the Metal Teeth start, walk as close as you can(1 STEP away is enough) and run when the teeth are withdrawing. Use the Keys on the 2 locks and slide down the slope(look to the right through the door to see an unused switch). Kill the Crocodile by climbing onto the nearest platform. Continue forward from this platform to find an important Switch. To find the door opened by this Switch swim directly underneath the Main Entrance to the Tomb(look for the lit area). As soon as the Main Door to the Tomb is opened a Stone Statue will come to life and attack you with Fireballs. Run into the Tomb to protect yourself, try and shoot it from inside the Tomb. Shoot Pierre to get the Scion and a Gold Key. Secret 1 & 2 - ? ================================================================================ Level 10 - City Of Khamoon. --------------------------- Use the lower moveable block as a bridge to drag the other across.

SECRET 1 - Long fall(by the switch that operates the floor under the Cat Statue). Back off and grab the ledge to lessen the fall. Look out for the Spike Trap underneath the Cat Statue(CERTAIN DEATH!). SECRET 2 - By the 6(!) Panthers in the pit. Do a RJG to the opposite side. SECRET 3 - ?. Use the Switch to operate a Trapdoor which lets grain through a hole revealing the exit. ================================================================================ Level 11 - Obelisk Of Khamoon. ------------------------------ Quite easy this one. There are lots of surprise attacks, so tread carefully. As you come through the doorway, by the Keyhole, there will be 2 doorways(behind blocks) on Lara's left. The left door holds a Key and the right is a red herring. The doors straight ahead as you come through the door are both dead ends. The one on the right holds a Panther and a MediKit. The Key opens both the door next to the Keyhole and the high doorway. The objective of this level is to find 4 switches which operate the bridges in the Central room. These bridges enable you to collect 4 artifacts(Eye Of Horus, Scarab, Seal Of Anubis and an Ankh), these artifacts are to be taken to the Obelisk(reached by swimming down the long tunnel under the bridges), which is next to the Sphinx(seen on the previous level).
