Bolivia: Gold statue
After using the stone seesaw to boost the iron cages
up to the platform, open the gate the normal way. Then, move one
of the cages on the side off its plate just enough to lower the
door one notch. Quickly move the cage back. Climb over to the
exit and scale the side of the doorway to get on top of the door.
The gold reward is at the top.
Bolivia: Silver statue
On the first rope in Bolivia, turn left to find the
cave that has the silver reward.
Croft Manor: Gold statue
Before you can get the gold artifact, you must complete
the Bolivia level. Otherwise, the rest of the manor will be closed
off. After you enter the manor, get the grapple. It is located
in the computer room in a safe behind Zip. To unlock the safe,
use a laptop on the floor. After you get the grapple, get the
pistols in Lara's bedroom. To get the pistols, there are two knives
that both need to be pulled. Then, go head to the library. To
your right is a wall that can be broken by shooting it. Once that
is done, move the bookcase in the wall to one of the pressure
switches on either side of Allister's desk. Then, use the grapple
to get down the other bookcase, which is above the pressure switch
on the right. Put that bookcase on the other switch and a wall
will open up. Grab the PLS on Allister's desk. In the dark hallway
is a switch. After you pull it, a large stone tablet with a clue
will come out of the wall. The clue reads "Above the Waters,
Twin Sisters turn their backs one upon the other to leave the
Ambages unguarded". Go to the end of the hallway and pull
the second switch. Another wall will open up and lead you back
into the bedroom. With the first clue in hand, go to the pool.
On the right side of the pool there are two fish statues that
can be pulled out. Do so, then jump onto the shortest one. Jump
on to the pole, swing to the ledge, jump to the other statue,
onto the second pole, then onto the balcony. There are two Greek
statues. Rotate them so they face away from each other. Once they
are in position, another clue will appear: "Within the Hall
of Knowledge, Tomes of Cerulean, Topaz, Viridian and Crimson in
turn reveal their Arcanum". Go back to the library. Push
in the blue book to the right of the door. Then, go to the small
room upstairs. Push in the yellow book, then the green book, outside
the room. Go back downstairs and push in the red book. After you
do this, a wall will open, revealing the third clue: "Above
the Hearth, revealed visage and countenance touched in haste raise
up the Steward". Go back to the front lobby. To the right
of the door leading to the library is a switch that just came
out of the wall. Before you use it, use the grapple to pull out
the poles leading to the other switch. After that, push the switch,
swing to the other side, and use the other. The fourth and final
clue then comes out of the wall: "The risen Athena turns
to face the Sun, whose burden then reveals the Golden Laurel".
A statue has arisen in the middle of the front lobby downstairs.
Turn it so that it faces the window above the stairs then stand
on the pressure switch. The statue then goes back into the ground
and a stone pillar with the Golden Artifact appears from the ground
in its place.
Ghana: Gold statue
At the end of the level, when you stand on button that
opens the timed door, do not enter that door. Instead, go to the
under the door to find a golden statue.
Japan: Alternate costume
When you reach a room which has a hanging dragon in
it, you will find a large red box. Throw it to the floor to break
it. You will get a gold statue that gives you a new costume.
Kazakhstan: Project Carbonek Boss level
After the creature is released, run around the dome.
Turn the switches on by pressing Y. When you have pressed
all the switches, four balls with come down from the ceiling.
Get onto the magnetic gun in the middle of the room. Make the
balls come to you by using the magnetic gun. This might take some
time because the monster will keep knocking you of the gun. When
you have all the balls pointing towards you, a chamber will open
above your head and the sword fragment will appear. Get off the
gun and point up towards the sword fragment and grapple it. When
you have it, an intermission sequence will begin and the level
will end.
Peru: Play soccer
At the beginning of the level, look to your right to
see a soccer ball. You can shoot the ball around with Y.
Hit it past the dummy in between the fences and for a goal.
Defeating Amanda
Use the following trick to defeat the final boss Amanda in Beast form. When fighting Amanda, do not go near to the edge, go near Amanda while she is fighting, or go into the center of
the platform. The easiest way to die is to jump off the edge, so be careful. When you get Amanda's health down about halfway, the beast will fall to the ground and an image of Amanda will
appear on the beast's body. Get in close as quickly as possible. Face Amanda, and press [Interact]. This brings the beast's damage threshold down. If you do not do it quickly enough, the beast will rise and heal to full. You must down the beast four times to win. The beast will start by using a random attack every few seconds. Every time you down the beast, the chance is increased that the it will perform another random attack immediately after the first. This means that when you have downed Amanda three times, she is likely to attack four times very quickly. The following is a list of her attacks.
- Spreading attack: The beast will stick its arms into the ground. After a slight delay, slow, red projectiles will fan out. This can be easily avoided by jumping over them. Note: This attack is when the beast is most susceptible to damage.
- Upwards blast: The beast's quickest attack, it will pound the ground with its arms and a burst of energy will appear beneath Lara. This is the best reason to keep moving.
- Melee attack: A simple swipe. Stay away from the beast and it will not use this attack.
- Homing attack: The most commonly used attack. The beast fires a pink homing smoke-like projectile which will explode on contact. This has area of effect. The more accurate the blast, the more damage Lara will take and the farther she will fly.
- Shockwave: The most devastating attack. It does not do a lot of damage but can fling Lara halfway across the platform. Avoid it at all costs. It acts like the homing attack, but looks bluish. There is a distinct difference in appearance between the two projectiles.
Defeating the Unknown Entity in the Tesla room
The goal is not to destroy the Entity, actually. The
main objective is to remove the sword fragment for the machine
directly above the Tesla turret. Ignore the Beast the entire time.
First, pull the four levers around the room. They are on the outer
wall and easily accessible. Then, hop into the Tesla turret. If
you are knocked out of the turret, hop back in, healing as needed.
Here, you must use the turret's "repel" function to
launch the four lowered Tesla balls into the beams of energy.
Do not use the "attract" function, as this will just
slow you down. Once you have completed the entire circuit, wait
for the electricity to die down then do it again. When you complete
the circuit the second time, get out of the turret, switch to
first person view, then use the grapple on the sword fragment
and pull it out.
Acrobatic Lara
Xbox 360 While performing a forward roll, when you see Lara put both hands on the ground press B. Instead of rolling to her feet Lara will perform a handspring. In addition if you press B again just before her feet touch the ground, Lara will backflip. This is what happens; hold Forward and press B (Lara will roll). Press B again (handspring). Press B again (backflip). Press B again (another backflip). Press B one more time and Lara will finish with a "Roundoff", meaning she will do a 360 spin in midair while bringing her legs over the top and land facing forward. Note: The timing must be very precise.
Legacy Of Kain reference
In Croft Manor, on the right-hand side of the main stairs is a portrait of Kain, as it appears in Legacy Of Kain: Defiance. Eidos, producer of Tomb Raider, also produces the Legacy of Kain series.
