SPECIAL MOVES

SWIMMING ON THE SURFACE: If Lara finds a deep pool of water, she can jump in and swim. Use the mouse or cursor keys to move Lara around on the surface of a pool. Press the jump key to stroke forward. At the edge of the water, press the UP cursor key and press the action key to climb out.

SWIMMING UNDERWATER : When swimming underwater, Lara can hold her breath for about a minute - any longer and she'll become fish food.

CLIMBING PIPES/LADDERS: To climb up drainpipes or ladders, walk Lara up to the object and press the UP cursor key to make Lara climb onto the object. Then use the cursor keys again to climb up or down and to dismount.

MONKEY SWING: Where the opportunity exists to monkey swing from bar to bar to cross a gap, position Lara under the first bar and press the jump key. When she's holding onto the bar, press the UP cursor key to monkey swing forward. Press the jump key to dismount.

GENERIC ACTIONS

HAND OVER HAND: To jump onto a zip wire, position your character directly under it and press the jump key. Use the cursor keys to travel along the rope. Press the duck key to tuck your character's legs up to rest or avoid objects.

JUMPING, GRABBING AND SHIMMYING: To jump, press the jump key. To jump in a certain direction, use the cursor keys while jumping. Jumps onto ledges or rails over a great distance require a jump and grab. To perform this jump, press the jump key while pressing the UP cursor key, release the jump key, then at the apex of the jump press and hold the action key until Lara or Kurtis grabs the ledge. You can then release the key. Use the cursor keys to shimmy sideways along the ledge. Press the UP cursor key to climb up onto the ledge. Press the action key to release the grab. Once the grab is activated, a grab bar appears onscreen to monitor your character's energy. If the grab bar runs out, the character's grip will looses immediately.

GRAB BAR: Lara and Kurtis are very fit and strong but even they can't hang from ledges indefinitely. When either one is grabbing a ledge, a grab bar appears onscreen. The bar will immediately begin to decrease. If it's allowed to run out completely, the grab is released and the character lets go of the ledge. the bar is automatically refreshed with each grab.

LAST CHANCE GRAB: If your character begins to slide on the scenery, press the action key to make the character grab before falling to their doom.

INTERACTING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT: Lara and Kurtis interact with their worlds in different ways. One example of this is opening doors. Approach and stand by a door. When you are near enough to open it, a hand icon appears. Press the action key to make your character try and interact with it - in this case by opening the door. You may want Lara or Kurtis to climb through windows or climb up onto boxes. This is achieved by walking your character up to the object. If the character can climb up or squeeze through the gap, he or she will do so automatically.
