Part 1 of the TR3 Lara's Home walkthrough. This shows you how to access the Artefact room, how to get the racetrack key and thus get to how to get the quad bike. Finally it shows you how to get the pistols back.
I always loved fooling around in that house, it was really fun to just run around, swim, shoot at things, it was awesome. Also when I was younger, I always thought the Butler was a zombie. The moaning didn't help.
My dad was very strict and kinda cool at the same time when I was younger. He would not buy me new games if I didn't complete them, so basically this was my very first game ever for the PS1, and it took me ages to beat it and figure it out. I had to ask him to print me a walkthrough from his office at work because this was really had, but anyways it's an amazing game. I can't believe how damn good it is and was.
i remember playing this for hours and hours as a child, and it never got old, no matter how many times i beat it. i dont why but i just cant do that with todays games. now, when i beat a game, it gets boring right away. i guess the fact that it was fully made for offline playing made it enjoyable even after you beat it.
Sweet nostalgia. This brings me back to age 15. And I miss the house and the butler in the newer games. Always loved locking the butler in the freezer or trying to lose him in the maze lol
I dont know why but old video games have this special something that makes them really special AND better than the new ones despite their bad graphics ! I just love this game :)
It's good to know that I wasn't the only one afraid of the butler. I never played at Lara's home because of the noises he made and he always followed you. Hooray for the freezer!
OMG, more 10 years i don't play this game. And memories comes back just with this video! We all put the old man in the freezing hahaha. I shot him too, but still alive....
OMG I FINALLY FOUND THIS GAME!!! i had very vague memories of this game form when i was like 8, i remember the underground aquarium and running to get into a room before the timer ran out. WOW it took me so long to find the name of this.
I love that to get the racetrack key you have to find a secret route through the attic, sprint down to the basement, move a massive crate and swim about for a bit, but that two loaded pistols are hidden under a tarp in the garden.
Watching this walkthrough and seeing you climb the fireplace and go in the basement, I'm like "Where did all of this come from?!!!!" Like seriously, I had no clue you could climb up the fireplace!!! This game gave me no guidelines at all. There's so much I missed!!
I remember getting excited as a youngster after reading in the games magazines that Lara Croft would be appearing in not 1, not 2, but 3!!! new costumes in the new game! And the graphics looked AMAZING! I never got the nude cheat to work though regardless of my efforts :D
Have you tried turning up the gamma setting? Go into the main menu when in the game, go down to where there is a passport, a controller and some glasses etc. Go to the glasses and select them. A menu will appear which will have a gamma option. Increase the value (up to 10) to increase brightness. I'm not sure whether this works on the PS version or not but that's how it works on the PC. Hope this helps :)
Lara's quite the eccentric - who'd think of keeping their keys at the bottom of the fish tank? Maybe it was that sneaky butler who hid them there - I can just imagine him swimming about with a snorkel mask on and still holding the tea tray!
This was the first Tomb Raider game I had and definately my favourite. But I've been playing it for years and NEVER have I managed to get into the artifacts room, the aquarium thingy or get the racetrack key. I was hopeless at TR and I still am:)
i remember this old man carrying this shit all over the house following lara!! hahaha he could never die...EVER!! i had locked him inside the fridge once and i found him all alive in the garden!! hahahaha lol great memories!! love it :D thanx 4 sharing ;)
I remember when I used to play this game when I was younger. I'd try killing the butler whenever he snuck up on me. That old man used to scare the crap out of me.
i rember when i was rly young (5-7) i played this but i never got it cuz i always pissed around in the gym and swimming place lol... brings back memories
When I used to play this as a kid, me and my friends always used to call the butler "Elmer", and we'd intentionally lock him in the freezer in the kitchen lol.
I spent many many hours over a span of YEARS as a kid playing this, and I never knew about the fish tank room until this..WTF!?!?!? How did I never find that!?!!?
love the song at the obstacle course ! has anyone noticed how weird the sky looks ? it's a huge black hole ! i always wondered about that when i used to play this game
if anyones struggling getting there on time for the racetrack key, instead of jumping onto the stairs after the attic run to the top of the middle of the stairs and jump forward then roll 180 and the doors right infront of you :}
haha I remember playing this when i was like 8 years old. That old man use to scared the shit out of me. I would lead him to the fridge and leave him there. ahh good memories.
lol so thats how you get the racetrack key! I always used cheat codes! 7:13 that song never gets old... XD And I thought me and my sister we're the only ones who locked the butler in the freezer! lol
@RuinHD It was happening to me as well,especialy with tigers,and also one situation in London when a dog jumps in front of you,I almost fall out of my chair than xD.Not to mention those creeps in Antartica.Bad tripping I've had than. Anyway,I've just finished the game(1st time) a few moments ago and I'm still under impression so I came here to watch:D.Even thinking about starting it over tommorow. Missed it so much.Played it when I was 11 but never finished(couldnt find the mallet in Aldwych:)
Well, at least it's challenging. =) You also have to follow the story from the beginning. Understand what she's after, why she's doing what she's doing etc. A complex game without motive is just a no-brainer to me.
I would lock the butler in the freezer and jump from the very top of the stairs to break her neck. xD I always wondered what all those secret doors were for and what the switches did! I was so little I had no idea what I was doing!
I'ma do the same thing when I get all 3 Tomb Raider gamez just lock him in the freezer and go by my business lol :3. I always do that when I was little and I'm glad I'm not the only one xD.
Thank you very much :) I seem to have one problem though. My game seems really dark in some parts, ex at around 03.10-03.55 it's pitch black, and you can't see anything unless you use your pistols like a maniac. Now, Im not talking "Aouw, it's sorta dark". Im talking pitch black. You can't even see Laura. x_x Im playing the original PS version (PAL though) um.. Is there something wrong with my game or did I just forgott to turn on a light switch somewhere? :S
I used to play this and Prince of Persia 1 when I was 5 years old. Other girls in my class, where like ''you, freak, stop playing this boy games''. Holy past years, Y U NO COME BACK????
I got a real adrenalin kick when that old butler came after me and when I got him into the freezer, he was walking against me, while I panicked to lock the door!
I Played this game every sunday with my dad, I guess /I was 6 or something... But That butler was soooo anoying and scary.. so I locked him up in the freezer :D Goodbye Old man!!
As I said, anonymity is crucial. You should pick up a book on computers. One of the golden rules of the internet since it began was: "Never reveal anything about yourself". That and netiquette.
