Prophecy
I Semerkhet, high priest
of Horus, forewarn that
he who removes the Amulet
shall have released Set.
He who walked abroad
with the Jackals at the dawn
of man shall once again
violate the earth.
Set, Ruler of Evil, will
again be Free at the turn
of a distant Millennia.
At his heel plagues
and locusts.
Harvests fail under the
broken skies.
And Set sayeth: “I am
the shadow across the sun;
I am the bringer of plagues.
My wrath will consume
all lands, and shall be
ceaseless.”

The Beginning
The daughter of Lord Henshingly
Croft, Lara was brought up in the
secure world of aristocracy. Wanting
for nothing, she was surrounded by
servants, social events and high
society.
Lara attended Wimbledon High
School for Girls from the age of 11.
Now that she was 16, her parents
decided that Lara should broaden her
education by studying for her A levels
at one of England’s most prominent
boarding schools. An adventurous
soul, Lara found the idea of being sent
away from home an exciting prospect.
By chance one day Lara came across
a copy of National Geographic on the
hall table. The front cover featured a
familiar name – Professor Werner Von
Croy. A respected archaeologist, Von
Croy had once lectured at Lara’s
school to pupils and parents alike.
The experience had a profound effect
on Lara, triggering a desire for travel
to remote locations in search of
adventure. In some ways Von Croy had
become an inspirational figure for Lara.
As Lara read further, she learned that
Von Croy was currently preparing for
an archaeological tour across Asia,
culminating in a potential new
discovery to be made in Cambodia.
Unable to contain herself, Lara burst
into the room, thrust the article in front
of her parents and without hesitation
demanded she accompany Von Croy
on his expedition. Lord Croft could
hardly disagree that travel was an
education in itself.
As Lara argued the case further, he
found himself walking over to the desk
and penning a letter to Von Croy,
introducing himself as an influential
society figure and offering financial
assistance in exchange for his
daughter’s place on the expedition.
Von Croy’s reply assured the
Henshingly Crofts that the territories
were friendly and that he had ample
76
Page 6
experience to look after both his and
Lara’s well being. Lara’s company as an
assistant would be welcome, as was
the offer of such a generous check. He
remembered Lara from his lecture – her
incessant yet insightful questions had
made quite an impression upon him.
And so it was agreed by all that Lara
would accompany Von Croy for the
duration of the tour ...
Once the game begins, listen carefully
to Von Croy. His teachings and advice
will prove invaluable on your travels ...
Actions
Moving
RUNNING/SPRINTING
Pressing Up moves Lara forward at a
running pace; pressing the Sprint Key
makes her temporarily sprint. A small
energy bar appears; when the bar
depletes Lara will revert back to a run.
Pressing Down makes Lara jump back
a short distance. Pressing Left/Right
turns Lara left/right.
WALKING/SIDESTEPPING
Press the Walk Key with the Up/Down
Cursor Keys to make Lara carefully walk
forward or backward. Press the Walk Key
with the Left/Right Cursor Keys to make
Lara sidestep. While the Walk Key is held,
Lara will not fall off any edge - if you walk
up to an edge Lara will automatically stop.
ROLL
Pressing the Roll Key makes Lara roll
forward, and finish up facing the opposite
direction. This also works underwater.
JUMPING
Press the Jump Key to make Lara jump
straight up. If you press a Cursor Key
immediately after pressing Jump, Lara will
jump in that direction. Pressing Down or
Roll right after starting a forward jump
makes Lara somersault in the air and land
facing the opposite direction. This also
works when jumping backward by
pressing Up or Roll immediately after
takeoff. Press Jump while holding the
Action Key to make Lara “inch” forward
and grab those tricky ledges.
Swimming
UNDERWATER
Lara can jump in and swim around in
deep pools of water. She can hold her
breath for about one minute (shown by
an on-screen air bar). If she remains
underwater after that, her health bar
deteriorates; if it empties, she drowns.
Pressing Up, Down, Left or Right
makes Lara rotate in that direction.
Pressing the Jump Key makes Lara
swim. Lara can pull levers and pick up
objects under water. Position Lara as
close as you can to the object and
press the Action Key.
SWIMMING ON THE SURFACE
Left and Right rotate Lara, and Up and
Down make her swim in those
directions. You can also use the
Sidestep actions to swim left or right
when on the surface of the water.
Pressing the Jump Key makes Lara
dive under the surface again. Pressing
the Action Key along with the Up
Cursor Key when Lara is close to an
edge makes her climb out.
WADING IN SHALLOW WATER
Lara won’t swim in waist-deep water;
instead she wades. The controls are
basically the same as when she is on
dry land, except it is slower going
and she can only jump on the spot,
not in a direction.
At tacking
DRAWING AND FIRING WEAPONS
Press the Draw Key to arm Lara with
her currently selected weapon. Press
the Action Key to fire the weapon.
TARGETING
There are now two Targeting Modes:
Auto and Manual. Both modes allow
you to switch lock-on from one enemy
to another. To switch targets, tap the
Look Key. Set Targeting Mode in
Options Mode from the Main Menu.
AUTO LOCK-ON
Press the Draw Key to make Lara draw
her weapon. If she sees a potential
target, she will lock onto it. If there are
98
Page 7
multiple enemies, tap the Look Key to
change targets. Press the Action Key
to shoot at the selected target; tap
the Look Key to switch to another
enemy. If Lara loses sight of the
enemy, the lock-on is broken.
MANUAL LOCK-ON
In this mode, you must tap the Look
Key for the initial enemy lock-on.
You can then cycle through targets
by tapping the Look Key repeatedly.
LOCK-ON LIMITATION
While Lara has her guns drawn,
she cannot do anything using her
hands. These actions are described in
the following section, Other Actions.
LASER SIGHT TARGETING
By combining the laser sight with
some weapons, Lara can enter a
targeting mode used to solve some
puzzles and defeat certain enemies.
When the laser sight is combined with
a weapon, press and hold the Look
Key to enter Targeting Mode. Use
the Duck and Sprint Keys to adjust
your aim by zooming in/out. While in
Targeting Mode, Lara cannot move.
Oth er Actions
VAULTING
If Lara is faced with an obstacle that she
can climb over, pressing Up and the
Action Key makes her vault onto it.
CLIMBING WALLS
Some walls are climbable. If Lara comes
across such a surface, pressing Up and
the Action Key makes her jump up (if
there is room) and catch handholds on
the wall. She will only hang on while
Action is held down. She can then climb
up, down, left and right when you press
the Cursor Keys. Lara can also climb
around the edges of some surfaces.
Pressing the Jump Key makes Lara
jump backward away from the wall.
When Lara arrives at the top of the
ladder, she may be faced with a small
opening. Pressing the Crawl Key makes
Lara duck and pressing Up Cursor Key
makes her crawl into the gap (if she
will fit).
CLIMBING POLES
Lara will come across certain poles that
she can climb. Either walk up to the
pole and press and hold the Action
Key, or run, jump and grab the pole.
While climbing, keep the Action Key
pressed or Lara will let go.
While on the pole, press Up and Down
Cursor Keys to make Lara climb up and
down, Left or Right to make her rotate
around the pole and the Jump Key
to backflip off.
CLIMBING ROPES
Lara grabs hold of ropes, rotates, climbs
up and down and jumps off the same
way as when climbing poles. To make
the rope swing from side to side, press
the Sprint Key. Press the Jump key to
make Lara jump forward off the rope.
DUCK AND CRAWL
You can make Lara duck by pressing
the Crawl Key and crawl by keeping
that key pressed while using a Cursor
Key to move her.
GRABBING HOLD OF LEDGES
If Lara is near a ledge while she is
jumping, pressing and holding the
Action Key allows her to grab the
ledge in front of her and hang there.
If a wall is climbable, Lara can catch
onto it anywhere (not just on ledges).
Press Left or Right, and Lara will
shimmy sideways and even around
corners of certain surfaces. Pressing
Up makes Lara climb up to the level
above. Release the Action Key and
Lara will drop.
MONKEY SWING
If Lara discovers an overhead frame,
she may decide to monkey swing
across it. To perform this, press the
Jump Key to jump up to the frame,
and immediately press the Action
Key to grab onto the frame. While
still holding the Action Key, press Up
Cursor Key to swing forward. Pressing
Left/Right Cursor Keys makes Lara
hang and rotate. Releasing the Action
Key causes Lara to release the bars.
1110
Page 8
PICKING UP OBJECTS
Lara can retrieve objects and store
them in her Inventory. Position Lara in
front of the object you want to retrieve.
Press the Action Key and she will pick
it up.
Often, enemies drop objects when they
are defeated; it’s always worth
checking out their bodies just in case.
Some objects can be broken, revealing
valuable pick-ups. Objects may also be
placed on blocks and hidden inside
walls – in this case press the Action
Key to reach in and grab it.
USING SWITCHES/SOLVING
PUZZLES
Many puzzles await Lara; these will
take many unusual forms. You may
simply need to flick a switch by
positioning Lara near the switch and
pressing the Action Key. For other
puzzles you may need to collect two
halves of an object, combine them in
the Inventory and use them as a key.
THE CROWBAR
Lara may need to pry items from walls
or pry open doors. To do this she’ll
need a crowbar. Select the crowbar
from the Inventory to use it.
USING FLARES
If Lara finds herself in the dark and
has any flares in her Inventory, she
can get one out and light it by pressing
the Flare Key. This will light up her
surroundings for a minute or so. While
she is carrying the flare she can still
vault or climb – flares even work
underwater. To discard the flare, drop
it by pressing the Draw Key. To throw
the flare a longer distance, press
the Flare Key again.
PUSHING/PULLING OBJECTS
Lara can push certain objects around
and use them to operate pressuresensitive pads. Stand in front of the
object and hold down the Action Key.
Lara will get into her ready stance.
Press Down to pull the block, and Up
to push it. To end this task, release
the Action Key.
LOOKING AROUND
Pressing the Look Key makes the
camera go directly behind Lara and
look in the direction that you are
currently pointing at. With the Look
Key held down, the Cursor Keys
allow Lara to look around her. Once
you release the Look Key, the view
returns to normal.
TIP: When lining Lara up for a jump,
pressing the Look button will show
you what direction she is facing in.
Inventory
While in-game, press the Esc Key to
display the Inventory. Use the Cursor
Keys to navigate and the Action Key
to select. Depending on the object
highlighted, a menu may be displayed.
For example, highlighting the crossbow
presents these options:
EQUIP – Arm Lara with the weapon.
COMBINE – Allows the item to be
combined with certain other items held
in the Inventory, i.e. the laser sight.
CHOOSE AMMO – In some instances
Lara may collect different forms of ammo.
This option allows you to choose
between available ammunition for your
selected weapon.
Press the Esc Key to exit the Inventory
and return to the game.
MediPaks
Using a small MediPak (when collected)
will restore 1/2 of Lara’s health. Using
a large MediPak will fully restore Lara’s
health. Beware: some enemies will
poison Lara. In that case, her health bar
will appear and begin to flash yellow,
decreasing as it flashes. Use either a
small or large MediPak as an antidote.
Sav e /Load Game
To save the game at any point, press F5
or display the Inventory Screen and
select Save Game. Select a slot and press
the Action Key. Your Save Game will be
automatically named. There are a total of
10 save game slots; select a previously
used slot to overwrite. To load a saved
game, press F6 or select Load Game
and choose the game you wish to load.
