Tomb Raider 3 Walkthrough - Level 14: Lud's Gate 

I agree. The only classic Tomb Raider game I can get 100% on is Tomb Raider 2

Eidos wanted CORE to churn out a tomb raider game every year after the 1st. They never stopped. They reached burn out at TR4 but I think 3 you can notice the level design having less flow, I don't blame them. The music for the 1st tomb raider game was made in 2 weeks and its iconic, he mentioned it was a stressful time.

Why do you dislike the underwater puzzle so much? I expected to hate it too, but the mini submarine is really not that bad and you have a constant supply of breath that is relatively easy to reach as long as you are systematic with the underwater labyrinth. I found it kinda fun tbh :x

@@idr121 The underwater puzzle with the hub area is just disorienting, it has many twists and turns and places where you can get stuck, also the multiple openings are hard to distinguish from one another. Not to mention that at one point the air pocket is gone, and to top it all enemies spawn a couple of times. The rest of the level is bearable, and almost good, like the museum part

​@@cardenasr.2898 To be fair half of the holes in the hub are just empty ones that make it much easier to be systematic with your search once you have figured it out. I do agree though that the getting stuck part and the disappearance of the air pocket were pretty terrible . I guess you could say the part is somewhat unnecessary in a sense, even though I kind of liked it in its weird way - I suppose it sort of emphasizes a thought I had about TR3 the other day: The devs didn't know when to stop adding stuff at times.

@Frays77 movable blocks are a different shade of colour.

I feel like the only one who liked the London levels 😆 I thought they were quite satisfying to complete and progress through. The canoe was the worst design in the game.

Just this one, its dumb

Me

This level was by far the worst tb i did, lack of inspiration, redundancy, absurd complexity, incoherent.

Also the Prima Official Guide for TR3 was one of the worst. It only gave the player general directions on where to go, unlike the Prima Guides for the first 2 Games (had them for the secrets). TR3 just felt like a chore in many places.

I hated these same levels too and Temple Of Puna. I just can't get past that rolling blade thing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Same here. Plus fighting the Willard spider.

Aldwych made my head spin with the sheer amount of backtracking it required

For me Thames Wharf is by far the hardest, because my PC crashes if I try to change the ingame brightness and my screen's 100% brightness is barely anything. So half the level I couldn't see shit. I think if I play this game again, I will just do London first, so I'll have like 40 flares from India and not lose them to Nevada. This and Aldwych on the other hand felt really difficult and complex, but the challenge felt generally fair (although Aldwych could have used perhaps a 5 or 10% reduction in its incomprehensive complexity).

​@@idr121 you have to use a program like 'gamma panel' to do that. had the same problem, fixed it by using the panel. you can even select hotkeys to change between gamma settings.

Having the same issue, ready to frisbee the controller out the window

Literally just happened to me You can get by without it though

The museum in the game is closest to the British Museum. It is also located closer to St Paul’s and Aldwych

kinda racist

@@xjay1234 ??

@@xjay1234 Wahhh everything is WAYCIST

if you go down on the that slide and grab on the edge, there is a route to go back, never understood why

​@@xjay1234 kinda stupid.

LMAO

Get gud

I thought this leveo was pretty fun

Same here, but isn't that the beauty of the game? You can take multiple different paths and get a different experience.

"but this one truly is my least favorite level in the entire series" same

Loved every bit of it. TRIII is so satisfying for me exactly because of the things it’s heavily criticized for. I feel after TRIII things went downhill, first slightly, then rapidly. Streamlining the gameplay made the games less interesting for me.

@@janpoelkamp4229 Totally agree with that. I don't even play TR anymore. I don't like this level but I enjoy the first part and the last part, jungle and Antarctica.

@@janpoelkamp4229 this lvv is bs, the water part, come on...

PC

It is only of you use the "climbing" glitch

No its not, this game is full of bullshit

I remember getting both the rocket and the secret in the sphinx room. There are several ways to return to certain points in this level (room with the shallow pool, the long climbable fence, Egyptian room, etc.). In TRIII it’s important not to lose track, or make notitions, because the levels are so open and large. Honestly, if you really want to get EVERYTHING in any TRIII level half an hour of playtime simply doesn’t cut it.

But you gotta admit there's some best level design in history. Yes, it is challenging and easy to get lost. But it's awesome how you get back here 14:48 to the start location. Totally unexpected. I've never completed this game since childhood, now almost 20 years later I can finally make it with a little help of youtube walkthroughs.

Damn. The f guard dropped it. How can this level be so BAD. I hope they fired the designer

@@VictorcolongarciaI’m so mad right now, I made it all the way here without a guide. I was like, WHAT KEY AM I MISSING. I’m so glad I saw your comment lol.

@@user-bc7ec1gu1n 🤟😅

that's because previous levels in London sucks

Same here

The important thing is to save your game upon entering this area and make sure you have a full health bar. Also, you want to remain unseen to the guard and the diver patrolling the area, so avoid walking or jumping in the open (as you can see in the clip). After you take care of the guard in the small room above the water tunnel make sure you’ll get into the underwater cage (the last secret) before the diver does. Ignore him, collect the goodies (and get hurt), then take out the diver with the unit and the guard before heading for the huge underwater area. If you get noticed you’ll see a quick cut scene of the diver and the guard being alerted and the cage will be sealed shut no matter what.

There is a second water scooter if you swim further

@@FantasyLover88 well Thank you, but all i get is attacked from "2" alligators after a diver chases me in there! where is that 2nd scooter may I ask?

@@scottd. If you enter the large under water room then on your right hand there are 4 corridors, than i believe its the upper right corridor.

@@FantasyLover88 I'll try if I get past that diver AND the 2 crocofiles!, before I drown 😅😋 Thank ye Dear!

you should save at next slot for each progression around at least 5 slots in circle (overwrite the oldest one) so that you can load any previous save in case of you recent saves are ruin by some mistake.

umm microsoft doesn't build PC's Microsoft also doesnt own the Tomb Raider IP. The HD Textures/upgrades on the PC are from the Developers who made the game.

dropped on guard's body right before you get underwater vehicle
