Croft maner time trial

After you've obtained the gear just jump from the crate where the gear was. Lara will lose a little bit of health, but there is no need to worry about that, since there are no enemies in this level and this will save some time.

Now it is time to go to the library, make sure to roll while Lara is on the stairs to cover more ground. Move forward along the straight hallways using the "Swan Dive Jump". This is the fastest way to cover flat ground in Anniversary. See the TRA controls page for details. If you have already played any of the other Time Trials and unlocked cheats for other weapons, you must still get Lara's pistols from this room ; otherwise a glitch will occur and Lara won't be able to shoot the ring behind the painting and rope in the pool room.

This will prevent you from completing the level. Once you have the pistols, open the secret passage and go get the bucket, which you'll need soon. The "Swan Dive Jump" is also the fastest way to go downstairs. When leaving the library, if you swan dive from the top of the stairs, Lara will be at the bottom in 2 seconds, and every second counts in the Time Trial.

Proceed to the gallery to get the Sundial Gnomon. After you've obtained it, you can jump straight down from the balcony. Once you are in the main room again, there is no need to use the stairs to get down; just jump from the balcony.

Now it is time to go to the garden. Make sure to "Swan Dive Jump" from the beginning of the stairs to get down faster.

Climb over the wall and cut across the grass, rather than following the walkway and, again, "Swan Dive Jump" here to reach the "clock" faster. You know the combination, right? My first suggestion for the maze part is to "Swan Dive Jump" along the straight paths.

If necessary, print out the maze map from the main walkthrough before you start. You can use Stella's route or, if you prefer going through the left side of the maze, use this alternate route. That way you will save a lot of time and your nerves as well. After you've obtained the grapple and used it to open the gate, it is time to go back in the house. Again "Swan Dive Jump" in order to cover more ground faster.

Now it is time to go to the gym. This time you want to concentrate on getting the wrench. No need to bother with anything else. Greece would be next as having all weapons available is ideal for the Lost Island levels, and infinite shotgun ammo is always fun. There is no correct order though, so deal with them as you wish. The levels will be listed in the story order so they're easier to find.

Some of the levels will also have specific tips attached to them, based on the order above and the cheats you should have unlocked. The T-Rex can be defeated in one shot, negating the rigmarole of the rage meter Golden Shotgun. Use the infinite health cheat to jump into the doorways rather than do the platforming Infinite Health. You've completed Tomb Raider: Anniversary! Feel free to check out the levels with commentary as there's quite a lot of detail in them.

When you complete all of the levels set in Greece, you'll be able to replay any of those. And so on. To replay a completed level, first, make sure you have saved your progress in the level you are playing currently, so you can go back to that point later. Then, from the main menu, select Play Game, then Replay Level.

Replayed levels include the same enemies, items, puzzles, etc. When replaying a level, you can change Lara's outfit or choose a new Difficulty Level, including Time Trial below. After completing each chapter i. To do this, select Play Game from the main menu. Then select Replay Level. Select the level you want.

Then cycle through the difficulty levels and choose Time Trial. The goal in Time Trial is to complete the level before the timer at the bottom of the screen runs out. Beating all the levels in each chapter Peru, Greece, Egypt and the Lost Island in Time Trial mode unlocks various cheat codes see below. I encourage players to send me their suggestions, both general time-savers and specific shortcuts for each level. You can replay them by choosing Rewards then Cinematics from the main menu.

If you like, you can turn on Subtitles in the Options menu so you don't miss any dialogue. To unlock the music tracks from each chapter of the game, you must first complete the Croft Manor level by unlocking Lara's music room.

After that, completing each chapter unlocks all of the music for that section. Access the soundtracks by choosing Rewards then Music from the main menu or by using the stereo in the music room in Croft Manor. From the main menu, choose Rewards, then Outfits, to view all the clothes you've unlocked for Lara. Once you have unlocked an outfit, you can try it on by going to the bedroom in Croft Manor.

Lara's closet will look familiar to anyone who's played The Sims. And check out the vast array of stretchy, aqua tops on the hangers in the closet. You can't choose Lara's outfit when starting a level for the first time, but you can change outfits before replaying a level. To do this, choose Play Game from the main menu. Then choose Replay Level and select the level name from the list. Then next screen allows you to choose the difficulty level Easy, Medium, Hard or Time Trial , as well as pick Lara's outfit from the ones you've unlocked so far.

Click the Outfits option repeatedly to cycle through the choices.
