Gameplay Tips
- There are several places in the demo where you have to use the new "monkey swing" or crawl moves to get past. To monkey swing, stand underneath a surface that has hand-holds (usually its covered with vines or holes), jump and hold down the Action key. As long as you hold down the action key, you will hold on to the ceiling and can use the arrow keys to swing across. To crawl, press the . (period) key and hold it down while pressing forward or back. This will allow you to crawl under low branches or into narrow spaces.
- To walk, hold down the Shift key while pressing Up/Down. Lara will take careful steps, and can't fall off any edge while walking.
- If you don't like the new side step controls (shift + left/right arrow), you can change to the Tomb Raider II style controls in the TR3 Setup application. Under Input, select "TR2 Style" for sidestep. In this mode, you can use the 7 and 9 keypad keys, or the Del and PageDown to side step.
- Pressing Jump alone makes Lara jump straight up, pressing a direction key after hitting jump causes Lara to jump in a direction.
- Press Jump while in water to make Lara swim, but watch the air bar in the upper right corner of the screen to see when to surface!
- If the health bar (in the upper left) turns yellow, you have been poisoned. Use a medpack to heal and cure the poision.
- When you press Action to fire at a target, Lara will track that target as long as the Action button is held down. To lock on another target, release the Action key and point Lara at another target.
- Use the Action key (Control) to grab on to ledges, pull yourself up, or climb walls. Some long jumps can only be made by pressing Action at the end of the jump to grab onto a ledge. Hold down Action and press Up to pull yourself up onto the ledge.
- To open locked doors, find the key and then stand in front of the lock and press Action. Select the key from the inventory ring that appears.
- To pick objects up, stand over them and press Action. Check enemies bodies for extra ammo and other supplies.
- You can make Lara push and pull large objects by standing in front of them and holding down Action while pressing Up(push) or Down(pull).
- The Look key (Keypad 0) allows you to look around. Hold down the Look key and use the arrows to move the camera. You can also use the mouse to look, simply hold the mouse button down and move the mouse.
- Press ESC to select other items from your inventory ring (medi-packs, other weapons, etc.). While viewing the inventory ring, press Down to go to the Save/Load game ring.
