Tomb Raider Underworld

Guide

Do you like fuzzy math? Then you dropped by the

wrong place, because IGN has a pinpoint guide to

Dr. Lara Croft's latest escapade in grave robbing

areas held by foreign nationals.

IGN quickly cuts through all the chuff (by

conveniently skipping chapters and cutscenes) and

gets straight to the source of the puzzles and the

hard to find relics.

In IGN's Tomb Raider Underworld strategy guide, you will find:

GYMNASTIC BASICS // All the moves little girls learn from gymnastics coaches

who are so strict, they defected back into East Germany.

RELIC SIX-PACK ROUND-UP // An easy to refer to page for the six hidden

relics.

WALKTHROUGH // Of Lara's story mode, complete with undead wiener enemies

trying to force some kinda nasty blue soda down her throat and how she can beat

them off without breaking a sweat.

You may also find helpful to refer to these other guides (especially the basics section)

since Tomb Raider Underworld uses the same grappler and movement properties:

TOMBRAIDER LEGEND GUIDE // The Tomb Raider game covering the origins

of Amanda's vendetta.

TOMBRAIDER ANNIVERSARY GUIDE // The original Tomb Raider game that

tells how Natla came to be.

Environment

Attack & Weapons

Parkour - Art du Deplacement

IGN will be using some terms commonly employed in our previous Prince of Persia

guides. Each architectural element will serve as both noun and a verb. When used as a verb,

IGN's telling you to do all pertinent actions for that element.

Lara Croft may not be a skilled traceur since she's a big fat British archaeologist

scientician, but her atheletic skills are helpful. Moving quickly from one place to another is

beneficial for Lara, since many of the traps and secrets are only available for a brief

moment before something happens (usually resulting in death). Therefore, you (playing

Lara's controller) need to familiarize yourself with the various elements in the game, so you

can react instantly when you see it come on screen.

Element 1 - Ledges

The ubiquitous ledge is on every wall you want to climb or somehow interact with. Ledges

can collapse, much like any other element, if it's been trapped by Crystal Dynamics. Fast

move is possible on poles, bars, and especially ledges, when you need the extra speed to

avoid death. Ledges come in two types the hang ledge, which is one way down, or

normal, which lets Lara move in all four directions (up, down, left, right).

Ledges are the catch all of the game, allowing Lara to move around places where the floor

is broken, missing, or too rough to continue. Lara can stand on ledges in Underworld,

provided they are wide enough to fit her twin talents, and a ledge stand is now the sole way

for Lara to change directions in her cliff scaling.

Additionally, there are two forms of ledges (excluding the crumbling ones). Ledges with

footing (above left) and ledges without footing (above right). Ledges with footing allow

Lara to ledge jump, while those without only allow for mantling onto (if the ledge is even

with flat ground). Beware ledges without footing will restrict movement along the ledge

itself or straight down. If the surface a ledge is built into is rough, do not expect Lara to

have good footing.

Element 2 - Ladders

Ladders are for vertical movement, but in Tomb Raider Underworld , CD takes Lara and

lets her move left and right on it via jumping to other pipes or ladders as well. Keep that in

mind when looking for a way onward. Ladders cannot be swapped sides like in Prince of

Persia but there's no need to during the game. Fast move is only possible going up on a

ladder, and you can always just drop off a ladder if you want.

Ladders are like ledges, but they are climbable withouth any other assistance. Lara can

jump to the sides or away from the ladder like a ledge with footrest, but she will not turn to

look away. Instead, Lara simply presses jump to transfer away from a ladder (unlike a

ledge).

Ladders are often rare and a secured path up and down a great vertical displacement. If Lara

falls from a ladder, expect to paint the point of impact with a lot of Heinz 57. Think of it as

the British Airways method of wishing you happy landings.

Element 3 - Bars

Bars are horizontal elements, but serve mostly as pieces where Lara can swing on and vault

off, like a gymnast. Bars in succession are used to traverse gaps, while longer bars may

occasionally bend and allow travel around corners and such.

Bars are tricky elements, since they can be set in a way that Lara cannot reach a bar she

swung off of. The momentum from a bar swing is fairly powerful and brings her really

quickly across gaps. Lara has near perfect grip with bars and can instantly jump swing to

the next bar or element provided it's safe.

In Underworld, Lara has the ability to mantle onto bars and balance on them like the

balance beams. While she can still swing on them, bars are now treated as swingable

beams when you have her stand on them. You will need to stand on those bars to get the

extra height needed for some jumps.

Element 4 - Rope and Grappler Wire

Ropes are the grapple wire in Underworld Lara can hang and swing from the wirerope.

There are no ropes in Underworld, but their element is retained in the grappler wire. Lara

may hold ACTION to ascend and descend the length of the rope (this shortens and

lengthens her wire), or without ACTION, push forward and back to swing on the rope to
