Cheat
mode: Have Lara face exactly north and enter the inventory screen.
Highlight the "Small Medipack", then press L, Up, X,
Up, R, Y. All weapons, unlimited ammunition, and
unlimited medipacks will be available. Note: Have her hang from any
north-facing object to face in that direction easily.
Level
skip: Have Lara face exactly north and enter the inventory screen. Hold
L + R and press Y. to advance to the next level. Close
the inventory screen to advance to the next level. Note: Have her hang from
any north-facing object to face in that direction easily.
Unlimited
Lasersight ammunition: Have the crossbow or revolver combined with the Laser-sight. Zoom
in, hold L then press Start. While still holding L,
select the pistols and press A. While still holding L, exit
the pause screen. The sound of the pistols being drawn will be heard. Note:
This can be repeated as needed.
Hint:
Lighting flares: Press L + R when Lara does not have any weapons in
her hands to light a flare.
Hint:
Turning on all the switches in the Star Room in the Lost Library: First, start at the switch across from the reset pad. Face the
reset pad and number each switch starting with the one you are at as
"1" and then going left, 2, 3, 4, up to 7. Then, activate the
switches in the following order: 1, 3, 2, 7, 5, 4, 6.
Hint:
Save health packs: You can save health packs by going to a different level, then
coming back for health because the levels are so numerous and close
together.
Hint:
Save explosive ammunition: Save explosive ammunition (grenade launcher, Cross Bolt, etc.)
for tougher opponents when fighting the skeletons by using the shot gun
against them. Get the skeleton between you and a ledge and blast it. The
skeleton will fall off the ledge and cease the exist. Since shot gun ammo is
more prevalent in the game than the explosive ammunition, this will allow
you to save it times when there are no ledges to help.
Hint:
Level 1 golden skulls:
At the beginning, take a left
up the small ledge.
In the room where you make
your first jump, drop down into the water and go in the middle of the
water.
In the room with the where
you have to make two more jumps, fall down at the beginning. Run to the
far end and turn to the right.
In the next room where you
have to swim -- swim down to the bottom in the center of the room where
the floor goes down slightly. Note: There is also a small and large
medipack in a back room which is also under water.
In the area with the two
boars, go around to the back and find the exit. Do not go in. Instead,
turn right and go forward.
In the room where the
skeleton has been impaled with the spikes, take a right when you enter.
In the crawl space, go to the
left when you enter it.
When you get to the area just
past the place where you have to "dive though the gap", go to
the right and past the railing. Note: When Lara gets all eight golden
skulls she will chose a different, harder path when Von Croy asks her
where she wants to go.
Note: To take the easy route,
the Path of the Virtuous, only seven skulls can be picked up when Von Croy
opens the gate. Do not pick up the eighth skull until after he opens that
gate and starts walking down. Then, go back, grab the skull, and take it
easy.
Hint:
Killing the red ninjas: Shoot at them. When they start spinning their blades, put up your
gun, bring it out, and start shooting. When your gun is put up, the ninja
will begin to stop spinning his blade and will not start spinning for a few
moments. This gives you enough time to blast him.
Hint:
Killing knights: To kill the knights found in The Lost Library, shoot the blue gem
in their chest. Do not attack from the back, as it is just a waste of
ammunitions. Six or seven direct hits with the shotgun or the crossbow will
kill them.
Hint:
No damage from Horus: Step into the blue light Horus was standing in before you put the
armor on him. He can keep attacking, but it will not get through the light.
Do not get behind it. If you do, his weapons will still hurt you. You must
be inside the blue light. This works best when the "All weapons"
code is enabled.
Hint:
Underneath the Sphinx: Getting out: You can sneak past the bulls without waking them or worrying
about locking them in their cages. First, make Lara face north and enable
the "Unlimited items" code: Open the inventory screen and you
should have all four keys you are supposed to collect in the level. Go to
the far right and walk slowly past the cage and the pillar. Then, sidestep
to the right until you are almost in the right corridor. Then, go behind the
bulls and enter the stone tablets: right, left, middle. Sneak to the left
and go to the gate you opened. From there, cross the two pits and place the
keys in their correct locations. Go through the gate you opened and head
across the monkey swing. Grab the scriptures and exit the level by the
monkey swing. Remember to walk across the empty room after the scripture
room, as there are spike traps located there.
Hint:
Chambers Of Tulun: Avoiding damage: In big room in the Chambers Of Tulun where the man that makes
shockwaves chases you, wait for a gold beetle to appear then start running
around. The beetle will grab you and you will hover around. If you move too
much, hit a wall, or get hit by that man, the beetle will let go, slice up
your neck, and you will take damage.
Hint:
Diving death: Go to a ledge with a long drop and do the special dive. Lara will
land on her head and die.
Hint:
Depth charge launcher: If you have the grenade gun, it can also double as a depth charge
launcher. Point at a pool of water and fire. The grenade will sink slightly
and explode. Normal ammunition sinks slightly deeper.
