Hints & Tips

Aquatic Research Area: Finding the Dagger Of Xian
The Dagger Of Xian is the item on which Tomb Raider 2 revolves around. It also was shown as an Easter Egg in Tomb Raider 3 and can also be found in Tomb Raider: The Angel Of Darkness. Now sart the Aquatic Research Area level. Then go through the level until Lara changes her clothes. Then, go back to the main hall. Go toward the underwater area where you pulled the first lever, but do not go into the water. Go in the door here and keep walking until you come to the end of the room. Dive into the water. Swim under the water and through the opened door, but do not swim through the open door that is in front of you. Turn left and swim toward the pipes. After you reach to the pipes "roll" Lara. You will see a stair, and on its left side you will see a wall with lights on it. Now swim toward that wall and use it. Lara will execute the moonsault-like move on it, and the wall will be pushed inside. Go through the wall and swim toward the surface. Climb the ladder. Then, push the block in front of you. Keep on pushing it until it cannot be pushed any more. Look to the left and you will see a glass box with the "Dagger Of Xian" inside, with two spotlights shining on it. Note: You have to change Lara's clothes first, or she will not push the wall.

Beating mummy-type knights
Simply engage the knights in close combat. Now kick or punch them off a ledge to get rid them.

Aquatic Research Area: Big fish creature
To not get killed by this creature, stay still. After you have the wet suit, swim out to the main pool where the shark is at. Keep swimming in order to outrun it. Swim in zigzags, up and down, just do not stop. Go for the entrance to the Vault Of Trophies.

Hall Of Seasons: Getting past the red ghost
Once you have reached the top of the dome, go through the only door there. Follow the stairs to the top, where another door is at. When you enter the door, there will be a brief intermission sequence. After it is over, the red ghost will appear. When you first start the fight, grab every item scattered on the floor. If the ghost approaches you and attempt's to attack, press Triangle to duck. After you have grabbed all the items, search for a statue with a blue light. That blue light is an obscure painting. To get it, get the ghost in front of the statue and shoot him until he is stunned. Back up while still having your back towards the front of the statue. Keep your guns out. When you get close enough, the hand will appear in the corner. Swiftly put away your guns, grab that painting, and get out. An easy way to escape is to press Triangle duck the second you get the painting. When you are leaving, the ghost will follow you. Do not waste any time on him. There will be water to slow you down. Once you are in the water, an intermission sequence will start, and the room will start to flood. Swim up the hole and you will be back in a familiar room. It is the tomb of the ancients. Leave by swimming through the hole you first came in. You will end up back in the gallery. Note: The ghost can't be killed, but he could kill you. He will attack by running through you. An easier way to avoid this is by crawling.

Le Serpent Rouge: Night club
Simply turn on the disco lights that move up and down. Then, go up to the second level. there should be a box on the other side from the one that you came up from. Move that box and climb on top of it. From there you can climb up more. A catwalk will fall. Now make a running jump and get to the other side. Next, jump onto the disco lights and activate the walk feature. Walk to your right, then turn again once you get to the the end of the frame. Jump and grab the edge. You now have to climb the ladder. There should be a slide with a gap at the bottom. Slide down and jump to the other side. Then, turn left and make that jump. Ahead of you is a metal frame that you can jump to and grab. Shimmy across and pull yourself up. Walk to the edge of the wooden platform and jump to the next catwalk with a bridge. Now kick the bridge down and break the door open. Now go into the room and pull the left lever until the broken light is on the bottom left side of the square. Then, pull the right lever and you can grab the object. Go back across the bridge, then exit through the door that is in the room with the levers.

Le Serpent Rouge: Hidden ammunition
There is a "hidden" ammo clip that you can only see from the green platform. To ggrab it, after Lara has reached the green platform from the moving lighting rig, she needs to climb the ladder to get to a higher platform. Lara will now be facing the part of the platform where the broken end forms a downward ramp. Then after Lara slides down the ramp and jumps to the platform on the other side, turn her around so that she is facing the ramp that she just went down. Themn walk Lara towards the ramp. Make Lara jump toward the ramp, and press X while she is in the air. She will land on the ramp, slide down, and grab the end. Make her "shimmy" to the right. If you keep pushing the Analog-stick towards the right, Lara will "shimmy" around the corner, and keep shimming across a wooden board that is attached to the ramp. Lara will be able to pull up onto a small, metal grate to grab the ammunition.

Le Serpent Rouge: Shortcut to reach the green platform
When Lara jumps and grabs the moving lighting rig, turn her to face the green platform. Wait for the lighting rig to reach its highest point. Lara can then grab and jump the green platform from here. The other way's suggest a total of three jumps and climbing; this is not needed and riskier.

Easy weapon selection
Press R1 while playing to activate your weapon. Then press Up or Down on the D-pad to cycle through your weapons as you need to. This is quicker than going through the select menu.

Fire more rapidly with shotgun or handguns
Instead of you holding Action to fire, tap it continually. Lara will shoot the weapon faster, making it easier to eliminate targets.

Get gas masks early
Stand in front of the cabinet and press Triangle. When the hand appears, press X. If done right, Lara should reach through the door while crouched and grab a gas mask. This could also work in other places.

Louvre Galleries: Get past first laser grid
After you make it up the stairs and take out the first guard, go into the room with the lasers. Climb up on the first case in the middle of the room. Then jump onto the stone piece on the wall to your left. Jump over the first three sets of lasers. Hang off the high showcase in the center of the room and shimmy across. Now climb up on the last showcase in the room to your right. Hang from the ledge above it and shimmy across until you are sure you are away from the laser grid. Then, open the door to go on.

Parisian Backstreets: Secret path
First enable the "Level skip/select" code. Go back to the first level, Parisian Backstreets. Follow the normal path and at the end of this, level 2 cannot be loaded and you are free to go downstairs and finish the forbidden part of the training level. Note: You can pass through the second gate, but it is better to use the key, as this will allow the game to load the first/second part with policemen in this semi-level. It is on a balcony close by.

Parisian Ghetto: Unlimited money
Enter the pawn shop after you talk to the women. After you talk to the man in the pawn shop, leave. Then, go straight until you reach a sewer drain cover and an object or item on your left. Pick it up. It will be money. Return to the pawn shop. Then, walk back out of the pawn shop. Go back to the sewer top where you found the money. There will be money there again. Keep doing this for unlimited money.

After the Louvre Storm Drain
After you finish the Louvre Storm Drain you will use a hallway that leads up the way up. On your way there, you will see a door that Lara not strong enough to open. Keep going up until you reach the last door. Upon going in the door, you will see security lasers. If you step into them, a policeman will attempt to kill you and both doors will be barred. If you do make a mistake, go back to the entrance and press Action on the wall to your left. Climb up onto the first glass case, turn right, and grab the ledge of that hanging "box". Next, go to the end of that hanging "box" and execute a running jump to the tall glass display. You have to land directly on it if you try to jump and grab the edge, the doors will bar again. Then, jump to the glass case that is to the right of the one that you landed on. From there, time your jump to the next case. You now have to walk to the edge of the case you landed on. Grab the edge and shimmy across it, then turn the corner and land. There will be two tall glass cases with a checkerboard laser net. Go to the glass case on your right. Jump up to grab the ledge, shimmy across it, land, and open the door. You will now see a room armed with a laser, and a policeman with a white shirt. Step into the laser and start shooting at the cops. The one with the white shirt drops a card that you will need. Next, go to the to the back hall and pick up the medipack and press Action by the sign. Lara will say something. The door by the medi-pack is where you will come out. Return to where you shot the white-shirted cop and go thru the door. There will be another cop in the room. While armed, run into the room and kill this cop. You will see a portrait of Mona Lisa barred with laser in this room. Go to the end of the room and pull the small glass case away from the place it sits. Now that Lara is stronger, go to the glass case in the middle. Push it towards the painting of Mona Lisa until it stops on the stools. Next, go to where the small glass case used to be at. You will see a card swipe. Press Action, then run to the glass case in front of Mona Lisa. Now climb the back and execute a running jump. Press Action and grab the ledge over the painting and go into the vent. After you take these vents, you will reach the rooftops.

Beat Boaz
When your in this battle, you are playing as Kurtis with plenty of ammunition. First, start shooting at the person on the underside. Watch out for its charge attack. It will cost 10% of your health. After six shots, it will be stunned. It will now start shooting green balls from the four pods on its back. If you are hit, you will lose 10% of your health. Aim at just one and destroy it. After that, Boaz will start to attack again. Before she starts to charge, it will shoot green slime from left to right from its mouth. Dodge it by jumping or by getting behind Boaz. You will get 20% damage if you are hit. Redo this until Boaz falls. A brief intermission sequence will show the second form of Boaz appearing. Now shoot twenty-five to thirty times to bring it down. It is easy to dodge, but if you are hit by its spike you will lose 10% of your health. In the battle with Boaz, use a weapon then press X + Square.

Beating Eckhardt
This battle is easy. When the battle between Eckhardt and Lara starts, a magical barrier will appear around the middle of the room. You cannot touch it or you will lose 10% of your health. Eckhardt will keep on running around the barrier, launching his attacks. First, he will shoot two lighting attacks. Each attack will do 10% damage. To dodge these, duck down. Next, he will jump up and teleport to another area of the room. When he reappears, he will launch two more lighting attacks. He will repeat this one more time, then he will start to copy himself. He will do this three times. His copies will then run to the center of the room and launch their powerful attack. It will make you lose 20% of your health. You will see little sparkles on the floor. Now either get close to the barrier or stand in between to avoid the hits. After this attack, Eckhardt will fall in the middle to get his strength back. You have five to seven seconds before he gets up. When he is down, run up to him and punch/kick him. A short intermission sequence featuring Lara stabbing him with one of the shards will be shown. Repeat this two more times to bring him down. Note: Eckhardt will switch between lighting and fire attacks. There is no difference between them. In the battle with Eckhardt, do not use any weapons just kick him.

Beating Karel
This battle is easy. After the intermission sequence, Karel will start flying around the room. He will be firing energy balls, but they only do 10% damage. Karel will be unharmed. The goal is to destroy the sleeper. Now grab Eckhardt's glove. It is lying in front of his body. Turn around and go over to the pillar behind you. There will be a switch. Press X to use the glove on it. This will make two ladders to drop down. Climb up either one to make it up to the first platform. Search for another ladder to go up to the first platform. You will now have two options. Either go to the stone marking and attempt to jump, or climb up to the third platform and jump from the platform facing the sleeper. A intermission sequence will start that will mark the end of the game.

Gain access to Bouchard's hideout early
After you have talked to Janice, run towards the canopy with the stack of money under it. From there, turn around and walk to the manhole cover until the hand shows. Now press Action and Lara will climb into the sewer.

Madame Carvier's room
When you are off the rooftops and into a storage room, you will see a hallway beyond the door of the storage room. You will see a door with a card swipe, Madame Carvier's office at the end of the hall, and two doors on the side. Open both doors, kill every cop, and take what you can. Now, go to the second door where you can look into the cameras. Find the one with Madame Carvier's room and zoom in on her computer. You will see the numbers to open her door. When you open her door, grab everything. One Ancient Sign is in her office. Then, go to the card swipe door and go in. These halls will lead you to the Archaeological Dig.

Archaeological Dig
When you go in, you will have a few enemies. Now run to the end, and open the door to the room. Now shoot the people inside and press Action on the gadget on the wall. Run out of the room and on your right until you see a path leading to a large room with a computer. Look into the computer and search the ground, and print it. You  willnow have two of the four Ancient Signs needed to enter the Tomb Of Ancients. Now, climb down the ladders to the bottom of the archaeological dig and climb up the wall. Drop down at the landing at the top. Look up, and you can monkey-bar across the bottom of the bridge above you. Just be careful, as it is a long bridge and Lara's strength is limited. Theb climb up onto the bridge and go to the place that you saw in the intermission sequence when you pressed Action on the gadget in the room. Press Action on the door. This will lower the elevator. Now, drop down to the ledge under the bridge. Jump to the elevator landing and you will now see a large wheel. Look all the way in the back of your notebook. It will show you the first and last Ancient Sign. The middle two are the ones that you got from the printers in Carvier's office and the plot. Turn the wheel until you find the sign, and go up the stairs and turn the wheel to lock the sign in place. Once you have arranged the signs in order, the wheel will also lock. Return to the top of the bridge, and you will the see the circle on the ground has opened. You will now fall into the next level, The Tomb of Ancients.
