Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation Hints
How can I complete the hard course?
1 of 13: It is possible to die on the hard course, as there are all sorts of spike traps and similar such things scattered about. So it's important to watch your step, especially your first time or two through the course.
2 of 13: In general, if you need help, you can generally figure out what to do by letting Von Croy stay ahead of you and watching what he does. There will be a few places where you can jump ahead of Von Croy, and I'll describe those in the hints that follow. Note, however, that the following hints will read more like a walkthrough than a hint file, since there aren't many real puzzles here.
3 of 13: The first two obstacles will require you to jump over gaps filled with spikes. A standing jump is sufficient to get you over the first gap, but you'll need to do a running jump over the second. Be careful to position yourself correctly, since there's not a lot of room for error and it's easy to fall into the gaps if you jump too far or not far enough.
4 of 13: I found it easiest/fastest to do a running jump over both gaps, stepping back while holding ACTION on the block in between the two gaps to get into position for the second jump. You'll probably fall off the back end of that block, but you can climb back into position for the second jump. This generally seemed to be faster than walking into position for either jump.
5 of 13: Do a running jump off the edge of the pit in the next room, and then press ACTION to grab hold of the far edge of the pit. If you jumped a little too early, you may need to climb up the side wall of the pit some.
6 of 13: Turn to your right, and go through an arch. There are two paths here -- one to the left and one to the right. Von Croy will take the one to the right and block the door behind him, but you can go to the left.
7 of 13: Run across a bridge that will fall behind you, and jump while sliding down the two slopes that follow to avoid falling into the spikes. From there, keep heading forward until you find a pile of rocks in your way. Jump over or climb them and take the next turn to your right. If you've done everything more or less right until here, you should be able to gain quite a few seconds on Von Croy.
8 of 13: The next room takes you across a bridge over the water. You can find an underwater passage to the next room at the bottom of the pool if you fall off the bridge or if Von Croy beats you and cuts the bridge behind him.
9 of 13: Then, cross the zigzag path over the water. You can jump across the corners to save a few seconds. If Von Croy closes a door behind him, turn to your right and look for a path near the ceiling that takes you to the next room.
10 of 13: Either way, you'll be at another bridge with a rope swing above it. Take the rope swing if Von Croy cut this bridge away.
11 of 13: From there, climb into the gap above you and turn left. You should come to a path that leads you to a giant head if you're ahead of Von Croy. If not, you'll have to jump down to the canyon below and then climb back up the vines to reach the head. You can also climb the vines if you fall off the path for any reason.
12 of 13: The path to the iris is through the mouth of that head.
13 of 13: From there, head forward and take your first left to reach the iris.
