Lara Croft, daughter of Lord Henshingly Croft, was raised from birth to be an
aristocrat. After she completed finishing school at the age of 21, Lara’s marriage
into wealth had seemed assured. But on her way home from a skiing trip, her
chartered plane had crashed deep in the heart of the Himalayas. The only survivor,
Lara learned how to depend on her wits to stay alive in hostile conditions – a world
away from her sheltered upbringing.
Two weeks later when she walked into the village of Tokakeriby, her experiences
had had a profound effect on her. Unable to stand the claustrophobic, suffocating
atmosphere of upper-class British society, Lara realized that she was only truly alive
when she was traveling alone.
Over the next eight years, Lara acquired an intimate knowledge of ancient
civilizations across the globe. Her family soon disowned their prodigal daughter,
and she turned to writing to fund her trips. Famed for discovering several ancient
sites of profound archaeological interest, Lara made a name for herself by
publishing travel books and detailed journals of her exploits.

makes Lara jump back a short distance. Pressing left/right turns Lara left/right.

To dive, preferably into water, hold down the Walk and Jump keys and then press
the cursor key up. This move has no real advantage over jumping into water other
than it looks great.
WALKING
Press the Walk key together with the cursor keys to make Lara carefully walk
forward or backward. As long as you hold down the Walk key, Lara will not fall
of any edge. If Lara walks up to an edge, she will automatically stop.

Pressing the Roll key makes Lara dive forward and finish up facing the opposite
direction. Roll can also be accomplished by pressing the cursor keys up and

breath for about two minutes; if she’s still underwater after that, she’ll take damage
until she drowns.

Lara swim. Lara can pull levers and pick up objects under water. Just position Lara

Attacking
Lara starts the game carrying two pistols. Later, she may find extra weapons.
SHOOTING
Press the Draw Weapon key and Lara will draw her guns. If Lara sees something
suspicious, she will point her guns at it. If there are multiple enemies, Lara will
lock-on to different targets, choosing the best one as she sees fit.
Pressing Action while Lara is aiming at something will assign that enemy as the
current target. It will remain the current target indefinitely while you hold
Action, regardless of whether or not Lara loses her lock.
While you hold Action, Lara will only fire at the current target, ignoring other
enemies in the vicinity. If Lara loses sight of the enemy, she will break her lock,
but that enemy will still be assigned as the current target.
The camera will track the current target, so even if Lara loses sight of it, you can
still see where it is. To make Lara continue shooting the current target after she
has lost her lock, just point her in the right direction. If you want to shoot a
different enemy, release Action and Lara will choose a new target.
While Lara has her guns drawn, she cannot do anything else involving the use
of her hands. This includes the actions described below.
GRABBING HOLD
If Lara is near a ledge while she is jumping, pressing and holding Action will allow
her to grab the ledge in front of her and hang there. Press left/right and Lara will
shimmy sideways. Press up to make Lara climb up to the next level. Release
Action and Lara will drop.
CLIMBING
If Lara is faced with an obstacle that she can climb over, pressing up and Action
will make her vault onto it.

Once she is ready, press down to pull the block or up to push it. To stop pushing
or pulling, release Action.

the cursor keys to look around. Release Look to return to normal view.
