 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Tomb Raider
Ice Palace. That freaky monster at the end? was it a bird? (A plane? Superman?)For those who are feeling brave, try dashing past it to the door in the wall near the ice mountain for a secret, or into the small cavern on the wall opposite the pit for some pickups, but the thing will get VERY angry! My preferred way of picking it off is to stand in the small indented space at the very end of the room. I think it's directly in front of the stairs and shooting with my pistols. The beast will never attack you and will keep its distance!
| (TR3) - How many of the red serpent jewels do you have to collect in the Coastal village level to open the gate? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
3. I hate this level. Anything dark and quiet and full of cannibal natives is sure to set you on edge!
| (TR2) - How many circuit breakers must you collect to put out the flames in the Wreck of the Maria Doria level? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
3. Yet another menacing place. Then again, an old abandoned shipwreck has gotta be creepy. Give me wide and open plains anytime! Just be careful of the area where you're supposed to fit the breakers in, you'll be ambushed as soon as you leave the water!
| (TR3) - How do you get rid of the electrical yellow car on the mini rail track in the Thames Wharf level? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
You lure it into a room containing the circuit box. I was slightly mystified when I encountered that thing - I couldn't figure out what the hell it was, basically!
| (TR2) - What is the quickest way to get rid of the durable flying statues in the Floating Islands level? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
Use a grenade gun. I wish all the other options I put down were actually possible, but sorry, they aren't! Don't splurge all your grenades though, just use them in tight situations. Remember, a statue doesn't have to be animated for you to destroy it - launching a couple of grenades at it while it's still sitting pretty will see it explode!
| (TR3) - In the Nevada level, what machine, which is a mode of transport, has an annoying habit of shooting past Lara with a loud WHOOSH whenever she's on a certain high ledge? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
Plane. The first time that happened, I completely freaked. (My confession.)=P
| (TR3) - In the Crash site, which dinosaur attacks you as soon as you've picked up a vital key from it's nest? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
T-Rex. It took me about five loooong minutes to get rid of that thing with my pistols. I actually just put a weight on the shoot button and went off to my room! (Nice try, but didn't work too well!)Try hiding on the raised block of rock near the entrance to the cavern and shooting from there, but there will be times when you'll be found out and snapped at so don't think this is a fool proof method!
| (TR3) - In the Area 51 level, what do the panels the guards press as soon as they catch sight of Lara cause? | Tomb Raider 2 and 3
|
They close off easy access to certain areas. You have to be quick in this level, or the guards could make life a lot harder then it should be! Usually in order to be quick enough, I whip out my Desert Eagle and give what for. ;)
RX-Tech mines. You do NOT want to be stuck in a crawlspace leading out into a very dimly lit corridor while an overgrown mutate is standing waiting for you in the shadows! (This happened to me on one occasion, and has put me off Secrets for a while!)
Eye of Isis. Getting past Sophia is INCREDIBLY annoying, and if anyone has a good strategy that doesn't involve a whole heap of medi-packs, let me know! For those who don't know, the aim is to make your way up the building to the opposite building and getting across the walkway to the electrical circuitbox, shooting it out and electrocuting Sophia since she's invulnerable to whatever you throw at her. Plenty of blasting and getting blown off the buildings in the process....
Anyway, hope you enjoyed this quiz and keep trucking... er, raiding! :)
| In the 'Venice Level', which gun can you acquire from a gunman after opening the doors to the boathouse with the boathouse key? | Tomb Raider 2
|
Automatic pistols. You can find the boathouse key on the balcony where you shot the Sniper guy at the start of the level. This will give you a free ride on the Speedboat, but watch out for the appearance of a second gunman on the wharf! Knock him out and the Automatics are yours. :)
| What is the full name of Lara's enemy who is also after the Dagger? | Tomb Raider 2
|
Marco Bartoli . Now why on earth would you want to stick yourself with a dagger? Did this guy really think he could gain world domination by doing that? Actually, yes. =P
A plane. This was a nifty little movie sequence, although I doubt that in real life, you could just drive a huge plane out of it's hangar and take off without anyone noticing... unless you're Lara of course. :)
| Which new gun do you acquire along your path in the 'Diving Area' (New as in, previously unowned)? | Tomb Raider 2
|
M-16. Dang scuba divers - didn't those things just give you the willies? You can find the M-16 in.... well, you know the area where when you enter, Bartolli is just leaving in his helicopter? The corridor with the timed fire starters has a collapsable hatch in the middle, and at the bottom you'll find your little beauty of a gun! :) Now try to get out without dying! >:)
| In which level will you FIRST face 'The Colt' - a big, bad, durable thug with a pair of very nasty guns? | Tomb Raider 2
|
Opera house. The trick to avoiding a face to face confrontation with this guy is to hang off the ledge then pull yourself up immediately, thus triggering The Colt's appearance down below. You can easily pick him off with your pistols, there's no need to waste your better ammo. Get the Grenade launcher from him and go on a spree - although I recommend you pick off all other ground-level enemies before you do! My tip is to travel high via the boxes: you can jump to the nearest box tower safely and pick off the two dogs, then keep travelling around the room until you flush out the second guy. Don't drop to the ground until you've pressed the button on the right to where you first came in, because a sniper will appear! Best to avoid full-on confrontation with them, but you'll be leaving the level soon so you don't have to be as cautious with your health I s'ppose....
| In the 'Home Sweet Home Level', what is the only weapon that Lara is equipped with? | Tomb Raider 2
|
Shotgun. This level was cool and freaky at the same time - like a very thrilling, dangerous, outrageously violent bonus level. :) End the level by eliminating the Colt on your front lawns!
| In which level will Lara collect the 'Seraph Artifact'? | Tomb Raider 2
|
The Deck. You know, it would've saved Lara a lot of time if she'd just shot off the locks on the room where 'The Seraph' was kept instead of running around in circles for a single key. Logic doesn't seem to work in many games unfortunately. =P
| In the 'Offshore Rig Level', what is the third weapon that Lara will get back in her inventory? (That is, if you don't run past it!) | Tomb Raider 2
|
Harpoon gun. The second weapon you should get are the Automatic pistols, if you don't run past that one too! Both weapons are in the same room on the bunks in - what I assume is - the dormitory.
| In the 'Great Wall Level', how many 'T-Rexes' is it possible to encounter? | Tomb Raider 2
|
2 . Dinosaurs? Alive? In China? And Lara ruining their triumphant return from extinction? Tut tut. :) To deal with the T-Rexes, my tip is to use yourself as bait to lure them out of the shadows then run like stink into either the area where you came out (which is too narrow for them to fit in) or the area at the end of the pit where the Secret lies. (Likewise, too narrow.)I'd recommend that you only come down here if you're after all three Secrets, or if you're a trigger happy maniac who likes shooting dinosaurs.... O_o
| In which level will Lara ACQUIRE the 'Dagger of Xian'? | Tomb Raider 2
|
'The Dragon's Lair'. *Yoink* At last! The dagger is mine! Mine! MINE! Mwahahahaha! Now I can complete my cutlery set!
| What makes it difficult to get to the final doors in 'Venice' without the aid of a speedboat? | Tomb Raider 2
|
Underwater charges are placed at the exit. Crocs in Venice? What was I thinking.... align yourself (in the speedboat of course!) with the bombs, back away then charge and jump out for a spectacular (sorta) fireworks display! Alternately, take a break and go cruising around 'Venice' to a nice orchestral tune and destroy some of the gondolas. ;)
| Who does Lara have a little chat with at the end of the 'Diving Area' Level? | Tomb Raider 2
|
A wounded monk. This guy didn't know when to stop talking. Or when to avert his eye! O_- Anyway, hope you enjoyed this quiz and keep tomb raiding! ^_^
5. Chronicles is the fifth game in the series. I didn't count The Lost Artifact (which belongs to TR3) or The Golden Mask (TR2).
36. Collect all 36 secrets and you'll be able to get into the Special Features in the Menu.
Colloseum. Thor the Gladiator - Big Bad of the Colloseum level - causes Lara lots of troubles. Jump around a lot and use your Uzis!
| Part of the game called 'Search for the Spear' is going on on submarine from which country? | Tomb Raider Chronicles
|
Russia. Lara is not the only one in search of Spear of Destiny. A mafioso boss has bribed the Admiral of a Russian submarine to take him to the resting place of the Spear...Lara - of course! - kicks mafioso's booty and retrieves the Spear.
She hides on a boat that goes that direction. Young Lara overhears Father Patrick and hides on the boat as the Father heads to investigate.
13th Floor. Getting the Iris from that room is pretty tricky. Time is everything!
VCI Headquarters. You can't afford to lose a single clip of ammo for this gun - it is really limited.
Labyrinth. Lara uses the Bestiary and almost gets herself killed by undead cossack. Father Patrick saves her and gets wacked on the head by the evil guy.
Natla. Natla only made Lara to search for the Scion, so she can use it for the Great Pyramid.
