Notes and Comments
Beyond the Falls of Wadi El-Rayan
Magic Amulet of Bastet
Whenever you see a plate on a pedestal, you can get a hint how to proceed. Just step near to the plate. Of course, if you want don't want any hints, you can just ignore these plates.
Secrets (Enblems) aren't counted in the inventory. You have to look up the statistics to see how many secrets you have already found.
Weapons are only pistols and shotgun which can be found in the level to fight the skeletons. And if you you save enough ammo the final bosses are faster to defeat. (Of course, the final bosses can be defeated without the shotgun, it just takes a bit longer.)
For technical reasons, I decided to remove the torch out of Lara's hand once the task with the torches is done. This was done to prevent some unpredicted incidents.
The waterbags are also removed automatically from the inventory once the scales puzzle is done.
Unfortunately, this level cannot be played only with a controller as you need a key on the keyboard in one area.
The Secret of the Sphinx
Mystery of the Dark Pyramid
Goddess of Time
Some players may experience heavy lag when text is displayed on the screen. This is a bug that unfortunately could not be fixed.
Dark Secrets of Abydos
It is recommended to set Bumpmapping to OFF for this level.
There are three possible endings based on the number of secrets, but they are not much different from each other.
Don't save/load while Lara is walking on a tight rope as it can mess things up.
There is one particular scene in the level which some players may find inappropriate
and/or offensive. You will be informed about it in the game and you will have the
opportunity to skip it without any consequences. My only goal through every level I've ever
built has been to entertain you in funny, clever and sometimes shocking ways. I just want to
make something unique and if I happen to cross some lines here and there, I never intended
to offend anyone, especially not our beloved Lara Croft or any of my fellow raiders. If you decide to play through that particular area, don't forget - I gave you a choice and
it was your decision and your curiosity.
Still, if it ends up disturbing you in any way, I sincerely apologize.
Protecting Isis
A Legacy from the Past
Enemies sometimes run into the walls or get stuck.
The skeletons sometimes get stuck on pillars or walk on them, especially if you shoot them with the shotgun
There may be small stutters in the larger areas of the game, unfortunately this is due to the engine.
Sometimes it can happen that the pushable does not trigger the triggers correctly, simply reload and the problem should be solved.
Challenge of the Highpriest
The ammo is limited in this game, Lara has no dual pistols. So, here's a hint: one poison arrow kills any mortal enemy, but it can take a few seconds or even a minute, for the enemy to die, depending on its stamina.
Another hint: To reduce backtracking, make sure to pick up the Shovel after every use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please pick up the Mechanical Scarab (Golden Scarab) after every use, even after the third use. This will prevent some bugs/glitches that could mess up various triggers in the game.
NOTE ABOUT LAG (FPS DROP): Depending on your PC, you might experience a lag (FPS drop) at certain places in the game. However, this is only temporary. I made sure that the lag doesn't exist, or that the lag is minimal, in all battles and in all areas with tricky jumps and platforming.
Moonlight Temple
Lara cannot move any further after shimmying around a corner. Simply press and release the action button and press it again immediately.
Some objects are not reflected in the mirror room. Unfortunately, this cannot be fixed.
The Tale of Hatshepsut
Temple of Amon-Rat
Gardens of Ash
Peak Pyramid
The binoculars had to be removed, as they were crashing the level when used.
Legend of the Lion Prince
Developer's Note: On non-Windows machines, the game's lighting and fog may NOT look as intended. It has been confirmed that on Linux-based systems, the levels may have flatter lighting and some special effects may prevent the player from finishing the game.
The level set has 2 endings. All secrets must be collected and then at the end there will be an opportunity to use them to open a secret door for the true ending.
There are also 3 easter eggs in the game that tell more story content. Good luck to all those who can find them.
Ashes beyond Time
