prior to playing. If you experience any of the following while playing a
video game – dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of

extreme caution when apprehending the suspect.

The press have sensationalized this latest outbreak

of killings as "The Monstrum’s Dark Renaissance,"

referring to similar atrocities in the capital over the

last decade, and possibly as far back as the 1950s.

There are definite links to atrocities in other

European cities going back at least fifty years.

Forensics have made no headway regarding the

bizarre metallic eruptions found on the bodies of all

victims. At present nothing appears

numbers of casualties within Parisian gangland

It would all appear to be the work of a sin

fixation. There are no known survivors of these attacks

LARA’S ATTRIBUTE UPGRADE

Lara can improve her physical attributes
by collecting upgrades at various points.
For example, when she collects a “lower body”
upgrade she’ll be able to sprint and jump higher
and further. She can then retrace her steps to reach
previously inaccessible areas.

Note: Kurtis does not have attribute upgrades.

LARA'S SPECIAL MOVES

SWIMMING ON THE SURFACE

If Lara finds a deep pool of water, she can jump in and swim.

surface of a pool. Press the Jump key to stroke forward.

At the edge of the water, press the *cursor key
and press the Action key to climb out.

GENERIC ACTIONS

HAND OVER HAND

To jump onto a zip wire, position your character directly
under it and press the Jump key. Use the cursor keys
to travel along the rope. Press the Duck key to tuck your
character’s legs up to rest or avoid objects.

JUMPING, GRABBING & SHIMMYING

To jump, press the
Jump key. To jump
in a certain direction,
use the cursor keys
while jumping.

Jumps onto ledges
or rails over a great
distance require
a jump and grab.
To perform this jump,
press the Jump key
while pressing the *cursor key, release the Jump key, then
at the apex of the jump press and hold the Action key until
Lara or Kurtis grabs the ledge. You can then release the key
Use the cursor keys to shimmy sideways along the ledge.
Press the *cursor key to climb up onto the ledge.
Press the Action key to release the grab.

Once the grab is activated, a Grab Bar appears onscreen
to monitor your character’s energy (see page 13). If the Grab
Bar runs out, the character’s grip will loosen immediately!

GRAB BAR

Lara and Kurtis are very fit and strong but even they can’t
hang from ledges indefinitely. When either one is
grabbing a ledge, a Grab Bar appears onscreen. The bar will
immediately begin to decrease. If it’s allowed to run out
completely, the grab is released and the character lets
go of the ledge. The bar is automatically refreshed
with each grab.

LAST CHANCE
GRAB

If your character
begins to slide
on the scenery, press
the Action key to make
the character grab
before falling.

INTERACTING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT

Lara and Kurtis interact with their worlds
in different ways. One example of this is
opening doors. Approach and stand
by a door. When you are near enough
to open it, a hand icon appears. Press
the Action key to make your character
try and interact with it — in this case
by opening the door.

You may want Lara or Kurtis to climb
through windows or climb up onto boxes.
This is achieved by walking your character
up to the object. If the character can
climb up or squeeze through the gap,
he or she will do so automatically.

PUSHING / PULLING

Both Lara and Kurtis can push and pull certain objects.
Position your character next to the object and press and hold
the Action key. Lara or Kurtis will then adopt a ready posture
(if the object can be manipulated). Then, press the *cursor
key to push the object, or press the @cursor key to pull
the object. Release the Action key to resume normal stance.

AT TACK I NG

Press the Weapons key to draw the currently selected weapon
from the Inventory. While the weapon is drawn, press
the Action key to fire, or tap the Target key to switch targets.
Press the Weapon key again to holster the weapon.

Both Lara and Kurtis are always ready for a fist fight. When
an enemy is close by, tap the Action key once for a single
punch, twice for a double punch, and three times to kick.

STEALTH

To remain relatively undetected, both Lara and Kurtis
can adopt a Stealth mode. Tap the Stealth key to toggle
this mode active/disabled. Lara also has a silent neck­breaker move, activated by pressing the Action
key when she is standing directly behind an
unsuspecting enemy.

While in Stealth mode, when your
character is near a flat upright surface, press the Action key
to hug the wall. Use the cursor keys to perform a leaning­look around a corner. Press the Action key again
to resume normal stance.

Stealth mode is designed for “silent-running.”
Any enemies whose line of sight you cross will be
instantly alerted to your presence.

CHARACTER STATUS BARS

Two different bars display the current state of Lara
or Kurtis’s well being:

HEALTH BAR

or Mr. Trent is no more! If Lara or Kurtis is poisoned
or breathes in poisonous gases, the Health Bar will flash
green and begin to drain away. Poisons can be treated
by selecting a health item from the Inventory. Gas alerts
are solved by leaving the area, if possible, or donning
a respirator!

BREATH BAR

bar starts to decrease. If it reaches zero, Lara’s Health Bar
will appear, decreasing at the same rate. If Lara doesn’t
reach the surface before it’s gone, she’s a goner!

Our heroes can retrieve objects and store them in their
Inventory. Position Lara or Kurtis so that the object you want
to gather is in front of the character’s feet. Press the Action key
and Lara or Kurtis will pick it up.

Often enemies drop items, so it’s always worth your time
checking their bodies — just in case.

Certain weapons can be loaded with different types
of ammunition. When these weapons are
highlighted, a sub-option appears allowing you to
combine alternate ammunitions. Follow the
onscreen instructions that guide you through
the re-arming process.

Initially Lara has no weapons and the only
weaponry available is her hand to hand
combat skills.

ITEMS

— All the interesting items and
artifacts that Lara and Kurtis collect are
placed into this section. Highlight an item and
press the Enter key to use it. At the start of the
game, Lara has only a blood-stained fax as a clue.
