Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation Hints
How do I get past the spike traps in this level?
1 of 13: Do you see the scarabs on the tiles in front of the traps?
2 of 13: That's a hint of what you're looking for.
3 of 13: Try to solve some other puzzles in this general area, and you'll know more about what to do here.
4 of 13: You need to get into the black pyramid back in the Temple of Isis.
5 of 13: Once you do that, you should have a Mechanical Scarab.
6 of 13: The Scarab won't work without something to activate it.
7 of 13: There was a Winding Key back in the Temple of Isis as well.
8 of 13: It was in the room to the south of the central hall, next to the button that you needed to press to open the door to get back to the main hall.
9 of 13: Combine your Mechanical Scarab and Winding Key, and then use the combination in front of the spike traps.
10 of 13: You'll need to go into your inventory and select "Use" manually -- the usual shortcut of pressing ACTION and letting the game pick the appropriate item does not work here.
11 of 13: Even then, Lara may be picky about where she's standing before you can use the scarab. Move around a bit if at first you don't succeed, but be careful not to walk onto the traps themselves.
12 of 13: Once you've cleared a trap, there is no need to do so again. The traps will be disabled permanently.
13 of 13: Don't forget to pick up your Scarab again before moving on -- you may need it later.
