Lara's Secret Artifact Room

First, go to Lara's home. Then go passed the indoor training course and into the indoor swimming pool. Once you are in there, go to the swimming board. There should be a button on it. When you press the button, a door will open on the right side of the lower main hall. Go there, and you will find a switch. Pull the switch, and a door will temporaliy open on the opposite side of the main hall. Quickly run to the other side of the hall and into the secret room before the door closes. This secret room has artifacts from the other games, like the Dagger Lara got in Tomb Raider 2. There's even a T-Rex head on a plague in there.

PS1 | Submitted by morehtml@hotmail.com

Training Mode Bug

Visit theoutdoor assault course and go to the point where you're about to ride on the zip line. But don't get on it! Instead, walk to the top right corner of the square you are standing in (assuming you are facing toward the shooting range.)

Position yourself so that you are standing diagonally facing the perimeter wall. Get as close to the corner as you can then jump straight up and press the ACTION button. Do this until Lara leaps HIGH into the air and winds up very high over the course. Don't run around.

Now face the red square that's floating in the air and WALK to the edge. Move Lara so she is directly facing the red square and do a regular STANDING JUMP. When on the red square, move so that she is facing the opposite way that she was facing when you were in front of the zip line. Now walk to the corner facing the back of the course.

Press back once then run and jump. If done correctly you should be on the roof. From the roof you can jump into the area where the quad bike is. NO KEY REQUIRED. Cool huh.

Lara's Museum Tip:

Activate the switch on the back of the diving board in Laura's pool room. Go to the door it opens in her lobby. Pull the lever, and quickly roll. Sprint straight across her lobby and roll into her museum, barely making it in time. The Dagger of Xian among other artifacts are in her museum.

PC | Submitted by GamesRadar

PS1 | Submitted by BLAKE DAY

GET ON LARA'S ROOF (Trick)

Go to zip line obsticle.(like in TR2)look diagonal from the perimeter wall and jump 2 or 3 times.instead of bieng on the pillar you are above the pillar.turn so you are facing her mansion and walk forward (pressing the walk button!)and you will see a red square.jump on it.then jump on her roof.

NOTE:there is a red square on her roof that looks like it has water in it.I have no reason why this is here.you can also jump in the quad bike race track...no key!but you can't get out unless you start the game over.you also will have very little life!

PS1 | Submitted by GamesRadar

Combat Tips

Don't overuse the fire button when fighting multiple enemies. Once you kill a enemy you must immediately stop pressing the fire button and move on to the next enemy. This way you can acquire a new target and not waste ammo on a corpse. Lara can aim very accurately while jumping around, so try to keep moving to minimize enemy damage.

New Vehicles

5 new vehicles here including a boat, Kayak, Mine Cart, Quad Bike (ATV), and an Underwater Propulsion Unit (UPU).

How To Find Lara's Basement And Race Course Key:

First, go to the Library. When Lara walks in the doorway, there are 2 bookcases to the right. Approach the one on the left and press Action. Lara will pull a book and the fire will extinguish, allowing her to climb up the side wall inside the fireplace. After reaching the top, follow the passageways until reaching a room with two levels, with a switch on the top level. Pull the blocks in a way that a hallway leading into the attic is revealed. When Lara pulls the switch, the basement door will temporarily open. Quickly run through the attic, and down to the main hall to reach the basement. Once in the basement, walk through to the second room and look in the tank on the right side. Inside is the key to the race course. To collect it, pull the block in the other room to the center. Climbing up to the hall that leads into the tank.

Not Really A Code But Cool!

Go to Laras House. Go to pool past the training course. Walk to the end of diving board using R2. Then once at the end of the diving board hold in R2 and press jump. Still holding R2 press foward and you will do a dive! You can do this at any place that is high. Example: Nevada.

Lock Butler In Freezer

Ok. This is a really cool cheat. First of all you have to go to Laura's home. You start in her bed room and you have to run down to the kitchen. Before you actually enter the kitchen wait for the butler to walk to you then go strait into until you can't go any further than stop. Than, again, wait for the butler to walk up to you. Then you go to the button to your right (if you are facing the kitchen entrance). Press CTRL and the white door will open. Then run into the freezer and turn around and wait for the butler to walk up to you. Then Run out of the freezer and press the button and hopefully the door will close and lock the butler in the freezer. If it doesn't then you have done it to slow and you will just have to do it again faster.
