I often see people complaining about how low on medipacks are, and for the life of me I can't understand how you all are having all this trouble with health management.

Is it because you are being careless when dropping from heights? Or is it the combat that's giving you trouble (for example, you're being a sitting duck)?

I have been playing these games for the past 20+ years, and I think I'm a decent player. I'm no Footi but my Remastered saves for the last levels for each game all have 30+ medipacks of each type, so I hope these few tips can help you get better at managing Lara's health and medipacks.

General advice

1. You don't need to be at full health all the time. It's okay to have Lara's health dip to a critical level (when the health bar is flashing) and then use a small medipack.
2. Lara's health replenishes at the start of a new level. It's okay to finish a level at critical low health.

Movement

1. Lara won't lose health when dropping from a fall of approximately 2.5 blocks. With pratice, you'll become able to estimate if a fall will hurt Lara or not. If you're in doubt, drop from the ledge facing the opposite direction and grab onto it. This will help reduce fall damage.
2. Floor spikes won't damage Lara if she's walking. Wall spikes, on the other hand, are always damaging and you should avoid getting near them.

Combat

1. Don't be a sitting duck! Enemies with ranged attacks use hitscan weapons for the most part, so you have to manipulate their AI to prevent them to get a chance to take aim. In Tomb Raider 2, enemies with firearms telegraph their attacks very clearly, and they need a few moments to take aim. You can use this to your advantage by jumping around in order to get on their back and land a few shots. They will need to return to their walking stance and take a few steps in order to turn around. Rinse and repeat in order to save huge chunks of health. Human enemies in Tomb Raider 3 have less stiff animation and can also rotate their torsos to a larger degree to take aim, so this strategy isn't as OP in TR3, but it still saves some health. Non-hitscan enemies, on the other hand, don't lead their shots, so you can easily avoid their attacks by simply jumping left to right. In the case of scuba divers, you can avoid their harpoons by swimming in a zig-zag pattern.
2. Enemy AI isn't that sophisticated. To simplify, enemies have two distinct behaviours, based on whether they have a melee attack or a ranged one:
   1. Melee enemies, i.e. animals, men with batons, the jade warriors, and the monks, will run straight to Lara and, in the case of human enemies, can also climb walls up to 1 block high in order to reach Lara. If there's a ledge that they can't reach, climb on it and shoot them from the high ground. Once they figure out they can't reach Lara, they'll try to get out of her line of sight, but dropping down to a place they can reach will reset their AI to the pursue state. You can use this to your advantage to kill them without taking any damage most of the time.
   2. Ranged enemies will pursue Lara until she's in their range of attack, at which point they will stop in order to take aim. As counterintuitive as it may seem, it's best to engage ranged enemies in close-quarter combat, in order to take advantage of their aiming behaviour.

Hello, i just got "Lara Croft and the guardian of light" on Steam 2 days ago, and i've been trying to launch it since then with no success. It says launching on Steam and then Randomly stops, or it opens minimised on taskbar and my pc freezes and mouse cursor says loading. I've tried EVERYTHING i could find online, starting from lowering screen resolution, lowering my pc core to 4 cores, uninstalling and installing again, nothing works.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem pls?
My pc specs: intel i7 gen 14, 32GB of RAM, 4060 TI

I recall bad resolution and frame rate for the port.

Idk why but I somehow can’t shoot, I’m pressing my mouse buttons with an equipet weapon, and nothing happens

I am curious if they will change anything else besides the graphic, because of the issues the original had. Like the plotholes, bugs, clunkiness etc.

I actually played it through a few months ago, and i am really curious since this game was not really well received. (I Liked it, but it's understandable)

Do you guys have any ideea how i can open this chest in cozumel i dont have any lockpick and it not let me to load this save on newgame+

I love tomb raider underworld but the dlc is only available on Xbox 360 I think is there any way one can play it on PC or something like that

I am reposting per the moderator instruction. My image didn’t load the last time. I wanted to go back and collect this relic but I don’t see any base camp. I believe it is directly behind Kulkulkans Temple.

I wanna validate everyone that suffered through Luds Gate, that yes, the underwater upv section is not only the worst part of the game, but the worst part of the entire franchise, and in my opinion, potentially one of the worst moments in gaming! It's soooo bad. Even with the remastered version that significantly increases the lightint it still sucks! And I'm currently trying to 100% all the achievements and last night I did the achievement for "The Silent World" where you have to kill every scuba diver with the horrible upv harpoons that are so hard to aim, which made it even more unpleasant. Especially since I was doing it on new game + so they had even more health than usual. Also I know this isn't related, but do y'all know how many harpoons it takes to kill a crocodile on new game +? It must've taken like 20 or something!

In these old games. TR3? 4? Later? The aiming system is stupid, you can only keep track of targets when not moving ans that makes you a sitting duck for burning all your health kits. And in 2 it is made worse by the abuse excess of mafia guys thrown at you. Then there are mandatory vehicles with controls not explained, not shown in the menu, and with changing effects. The venice boats can be boosted with a button that, on the snowmobile, fires mg.

I hope everyone is enjoying my posts here and not getting tired of them. I'm doing an outfit showcase of every outfit from Underworld in iconic scenes from the game. We're still on the first level 🫨 it's the Bathing Suit next. The Blue Wetsuit was an Xbox 360-exclusive DLC outfit as part of the free Wetsuits pack, along with the Red Drysuit. Please feel free to share any suggestions for an iconic Med Sea scene for the bathing suit!

So, I've been stuck on this mission for about an hour now, and nothing seems to work. I lowered all my settings and changed inputs, but none of these worked for me (I've also tried mashing slower and faster).

I was watching other lets play and saw that in their videos they got another one of those times circle thingy which allowed them to stab the wolf once. And as you can see in my video that second circle thing does not pop up for me but instead just stabs the wolf on its own which bugs the rest of QTE for me. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Im using steam.

I can't play Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC. I played it on Xbox One back in the day, and I just replayed TR 2013 on PC with only minor issues (memory leaks causing random crashes). When I try to play RotTR, the game crashes in the 3rd scene of the benchmark or after about 15 minutes in the opening sequences. Edit: The memory leaks from 2013 were a game specific issue and not related to my hardware. The crashes also weren't super intrusive, and would not happen every single time I played the game.

First, I tried 4 different fixes to get the game working. I edited Windows registries, gave permissions to myself for a bunch of random files and applications, and as a final resort I clean installed Windows 11 Home and every single driver on my PC. None of that worked. The game still crashes in the exact same spots, and Event Viewer in Windows tells me it's because of random issues that should've been solved by the registry edits. It's never the same cause for the crash according to Event Viewer either. I'm also not blue screening when I crash, it shuts my PC off entirely (screens go black, RGB turns off everywhere including mouse and keyboard), and then it reboots quickly to Windows login.

The game doesn't even touch my computer while it's running, I have a 10 core i7 CPU and an RTX 3080 10GB GPU. I guess the game is just unplayable now on the latest version of Windows. I have no other fixes left to try, unless a genius here has an idea.

Edit: SOLVED - I had to enable DirectX 12, and that fixed all my problems. Shoutout u/E_E_Lightning for making me realize I should have tried that to begin with.
