Tomb Raider - Underworld: the 5 best tips
Tomb Raider Underworld offers new adventures with the explorer Lara Croft. With our five tips, go armed for a treasure hunt.
Tip 1: Find your way in Tomb Raider Underworld
- At many points in the game you have to climb over dangerous passages with Lara Croft. If you do not know what to do next, there is a little trick.
- If you are hanging on a cliff or similar, let go of both analog sticks.
- The camera now automatically pans in the right direction for the next jump.
- In addition, stones, protrusions on walls, columns, etc. are often a little lighter than the surroundings. Lara can hold onto this and advance in the level section.
Tip 2: weapon choice in Tomb Raider
- At the beginning of each chapter you will be asked for a weapon of your choice. You then carry these with you in addition to Lara's two pistols.
- However, we cannot make a real recommendation here. The two known pistols are usually sufficient throughout the game.
- Thanks to the adrenaline feature and the many distributed medipacks, most fights are not too difficult.
- So you can take your favorite weapon with you on a discovery tour.
Tip 3: return to Lara's Underworld
- As in all parts, Lara blocks the way back with triggered traps, stone avalanches or even blows up the safe exit in the Underworld part.
- So if you have to find a way into the fresh air after a successful treasure hunt, do not try to get out in the same way.
- Examine your surroundings and look for a new way to get some fresh air. Tip one could also help you here.
Tip 4: Stupid opponents in Tomb Raider Underwold
- Even in Tomb Raider Underworld, the AI (Artificial Intelligence) didn't eat wisdom with spoons and is not a really tough opponent for Lara.
- You attack the units either from a distance with a firearm or in close combat with your bare fists.
- The best way to defeat a long-range opponent is with the adrenaline feature. Just shoot him down in an adrenaline rush. Often, after you are successfully shot down, you have enough adrenaline to use this tactic on your next opponent.
- However, if you are fairly close to your opponent, you should overwhelm him with kicks and punches. After a certain number of hits, the enemy lands on the ground. So you prevent damage and can progress easily.
Tip 5: relics in Underworld
In Tomb Raider Underworld you can find relics in different parts. Before you despair on the search, we show you a short list with the approximate localities:
