The Extras
Swan Dive: To do a Swan Dive, press the run, walk, and jump keys. If you dive
into water Lara will go deep down very fast. If you dive onto ground Lara will do a
somersault on the ground. Watch out though, if Lara does a Swan dive from a platform to
the ground (water is O.K.) she will hit her head and die. Lara's swimming pool in her
mansion is a great place to practice this. If you press the roll key while in mid-dive
from a high platform Lara will turn a somersault in the water. The end of the bridge in
the Assault Course is a good place to learn this.
Safety Drop: If you drop very far Lara will lose
quite a bit of heath. To prevent this she can do a Safety drop. To do this stand right at
the edge of a platform facing away from it. Press the backward button with the action
button. Lara will jump off and grab the edge. Then let go of the action button to drop to
the ground.
Handstand/walkover: Do a safety drop but hold the action key. Or you can jump
while you're right next to a platform. Press forward and walk at the same time. Lara will
climb up straight into a headstand to an immediate walkover.
Direction Change Jump: Jump forward
and press backward. Or you can jump backward and press forward. Lara will change direction
in mid-jump. This is useful if there is an enemy behind her.
Wall Jump: To jump off a wall simply press jump while climbing. Lara will flip
off facing the wall. To flip off and face away from the wall press walk before jump.
Extra High Backflip: To do this move
Lara must be by a slanted wall that is too high to walk up. Do a running jump onto it. Let
go of the run key but hold down the jump key Lara will backflip off the wall twice as high
as normal.
Jumps: Lara can do several kinds of jumps. A standing jump moves Lara about
one block and is done by pressing jump and run at the same time. She can also do a running
jump which moves her about two blocks. She can also do a grab at the end of her jump. Even
if she is grabbing anything she will still go about three blocks. Lara will also jump to
the side and to the back if you press those directions instead of up.
Monkey Swing: When underneath a set of monkey bars. Jump up and hold action.
Use the direction keys to move. *
