This video has been fully demonetized by RU-vid because I'm using a licensed track from a different video game for a skit. I was given the option to change or remove the track, so I could monetize the video, but I've decided to keep it because I think the skit would be worse without it. It hurts though, as the track is only used for, like, 5% of the video 😞 But I get it... I hope you'll enjoy the video - it has been looong overdue 😅
I agree entirely; it was the most challenging Tomb Raider game and was traumatizing when I played it as a kid. As an adult, I had to face my fears with this game hahahaha
In my game, the 4th Soldier for the Wilderness Instructor achievement drowned in the shallow pool in the T-Rex cave, which was bizzare. Luckily I had a save at the start of the level and I rushed it in 10~ minutes before he managed to unalive himself again.
You are not the first person who's told me that, that's so stupid! 😂 Forget about dinosaurs, those morons need to be saved from themselves first and foremost!
Quick tip for anyone struggling with the Wilderness Instructor trophy. There is a raptor up in the trees in an earlier part of the level with guys underneath the tree trying to aim at it. Make sure you leave the raptor alive so that all the guys stay drawn to it rather than wandering around in the open area near the end of the level. As soon as you can use the cannon near the end of the level blast the wall away and run straight to the level end and the raptors will be nowhere near all the guys still fixed on trying to kill the raptor in the tree. I know its too late for yourself buddy but hopefully others may see this who are having trouble and get some benefit from it. Anyways this is a great video dude I really enjoyed it. Along with a congratulations and big respect to anyone who can get all the achievements/trophies for this fantastic remaster.
That's an awesome tip, I wish I had known about it. Would've saved me a bunch of misery, I'm sure. Thank you for sharing, and thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it!
This was without a doubt the most challenge platinum i've faced in a long time... and I loved it. It's my fav game of all time. But having to wait for the patch to play All Hallows was a pain, I feel proud though I'm the 7th to platinum it, thank you for reminding me the pain i went through! 😪🤣
Ugh man, yeah... That first month after the release was just brutal in terms of bugged trophies 😩 Luckily I didn't begin Tomb Raider III until after it had been patched, but I had my fair share of bugged trophy misery in the first game... And damn, 7th in the world!? That's extremely impressive, congratulations! 😮😎 Hahaha, you are very welcome! 😅
That was a sweet act of revenge at the end, but honestly you could've cranked it up to 11, by entering the all weapons cheat code and using the rocket launcher, now that would've been the most epic way to end the abusive relationship between those two.
Well, you can officially say you are a true, true, hardcore, hardcore fan of the 3 classic Tomb Raider games because of the things you've gone through to achieve these platinum trophies! 😂 Loved this video as always! 🎉
@@AxMania I gotta give you the double platinum, though, because not only were you working on this video, but you were also working on the Tomb Raider 3 PS1 experience lol if that's what you wanna call it! 🤣
23:40 I found that shooting a soldier once with your pistols and making them shoot at you causes the raptors to prioritize you instead of the soldiers.
As a huge fan of The Thing, seeing an Antarctica trophy called "Who Goes There?" gives me a lot of satisfaction. Congrats on getting all trophies, anyway! Once again I am impressed by your determination, because goooood God I wouldn't have the patience lmao (also that ending bit made me laugh super hard).
Agreed! One of the best horror movies ever, I just love it so much. Haha, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! There's a fine line between determination and stupid stubborness, I feel, however... 😅
12:15 That's an interesting way to "remove the competition" haha I was just thinking yesterday about your upcoming video about TR3 and I was glad to see it up today and what a pain it looks to get the platinum. Great video as always, Ax!!
Congratulations on getting this trophy. I’m sure tomb raider 2 was easier since you could save anywhere. But tomb raider 3 must have been a challenge with the save crystals
Ill never forget as a kid when my dad got me tomb raider 3 and strategy guide for Christmas. I cried my eyes out i was so happy. We had rented tomb raider 2 from hollywood video and i was so devastated whenever we had to return it so my dad got me tomb raider 3 for Christmas (it just came out in November). I still have the poster that came in the strategy guide up on my wall lol. I was 10 and i wanted to be Lara Croft so bad lol
Damn, that's awesome. I love reading memories like this. I also got Tomb Raider III for Christmas in 1998, and my dad got me the strategy guide a few days later 😃 I swear, I learned a lot of my English from that guide. It's awesome that you still have that poster 😎
Loved the video AxMania. Just got one more trophy to get and that the kill all enemies on TR1. I really loved this remaster. My game of the year. Hope it gets some recognition when it awards season.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! You can do it! The trophy is completely patched now, so it should unlock without any problems. Hopefully. And I agree completely!
Only 2 playthroughs for platinum on all 3 games wasn't too bad. Well at least post patch to allow speedrun trophy ln new game+ lol. Now we get the pleasure of seeing the platinum video for Legend too... Right?
I love TR and trophy hunting aswell and I therefore really enjoyed your platinum videos a lot! Will you do a video about the expansion trophies? I and a lot of people here would love that!
You've done it, Ax!!! You're a freaking beast! I just completed Tomb Raider 3 for the first time ever about a month ago, and the pain & difficulty of this game is still fresh on my mind. I got stumped in India as a kid and never finished it. I loved (almost) every second of it- I felt so incredibly proud any time I finished a level and made progress. Beating it was one of the most rewarding feelings I've had at a game's end! Too bad I didn't get all the secrets... time to do it again :) Amazing content as always & look forward to what you may have in store for future videos! It was great to see Remastered footage for your content too- weird that it's become normal to me now haha. Sorry to hear about the demonitization, always frustrating.
Hahaha, thanks mondily! 😃😎 Aw, that's awesome to hear! And it makes me very happy to hear that you loved (most of) it, because Tomb Raider III gets A LOT of hate. I think it's the most divisive classic game. Btw, I was also stuck in India forever as a kid... Which part of the game did you enjoy the most? Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰 Haha yeah, I need to figure out how to cover Tomb Raider games in the future, because it almost feels weird to go back to the old versions now.
@@AxMania I was so concerned when I started TR3 because I was NOT enjoying it... Jungle was great, but probably my most unpopular opinion is that India was my least favorite lol. The cobras are a no from me. It was just such a brutal start to the game- perhaps I'll change my mind on a replay! I absolutely loved Nevada!! Definitely my favorite portion. Though I really loved at least one level from every region! It was incredibly challenging and frustrating at times, but overall a ton of fun. I love how different all three games feel from each other!!
@@mondily Aww, no, I get it. I hated India when I was a kid, and I still hate those cobras. Plus, that chapter is just so dark and eerie - and brutal! I'm not sure how well it works as the opening chapter of the game. I've learned to adore those India levels over the years however, but I totally get you! Ah yes, Nevada is awesome! And I agree, the diversity in these first three games is so good. They are quite similar as games, but they still feel very different.
What a worthy finale of the platinum trophy run! The videos became better and better with every game, the wilderness instructor montage being a pinnacle of art, chefs kiss. As well as that sweet sweet victory over that backstabbing douchebag in the end! Super entertaining videos! I am really looking forward for any future content!
Thank you so much for your kind words (and donation!!!) man, I really appreciate it! I hope I'll figure out some kind of worthy content to follow this little series.
Just watched the levels video for the umpteenth time 🤣 Can’t get enough of tomb raider. Another great vid mate. Got a suggestion for a vid: Ranking all enemies. Ranking the characters.
Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate that! 😮 I have actually thought about ranking the enemies, or at least a top 10, so that might happen some day.
Now that I’ve finished TR3, I could finally sit down and watch this 😍 What an achievement, congrats! TR3 is difficult normally, but to get all the trophies and do pistols only on NewGame+ with the time limit? You’re a legend 🥳🥳🥳 I can’t believe how close the timer was at the end of your run! I was so relieved for you that you just made it 🥰 And oh my god, that ending had me laughing for ages! So glad you got revenge on George that backstabber 😅😅😅❤️
Thank you so much for watching Suzanne, and congratulations with your own completion of the game - and your New Game+ completion of the first game! That was an epic final stream! 😎 Yes! I knew my time would be terrifyingly close to the 6 hour mark, because I sort of kept track of my cumulative time in my head, and honestly, I thought I had spent a little too much time in Meteorite Cavern to make it, but apparently not! 😂 Haha, I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed the video 😎🥰 Thank you for watching, and have a lovely wedding Suzanne!
Well done, that looked brutal. I got to the second to last level on ps1 I think, was doing the lever puzzle and stopped playing for whatever reason. Then I tried to solve the puzzle later but was so confused cos I'd saved the game mid puzzle! Haha. Nice video 😊
Oh yeah, saving mid-puzzle is never a good thing 😫 I've done that a few times, and it's just really difficult to resume your game mid-way through one. Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Still the greatest video game of all time. Congratulations on getting the Platinum trophy. All those hours playing and sleepless nights were well worth it. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁
Just a tip for everyone struggling with Wilderness Instructor: simply get to the area with the first 2 soldiers and do the glitch to bypass the wall and end the level. Since it's a trophy unlocked at the statistics screen, you can glitch and still get it. The setup for the glitch is very easy (look at youtube). Btw, congrats on the platinum and great video. I'll join the club very soon 🤘
Literally today i randomly thought "when is HE gonna upload the TR3 platinum video?" so imagine my surprise when i saw it. I knew it'd be hell from how long it took you to upload alone 😂great accomplishment, bravo!
Man, I absolutely loved all your other TR videos, but what took the cake for me in this one was Aria Port theme from Turok 2!! Let's Go! That trophy was annoying for me too, I hated it but I got it!😄
Been looking forward to this - sorry to hear about de-monetisaton (ive seen some channel record the songs themselves, as in a terrible version which adds to the comedy, we would understand if you changed, but respect your integrity)
Wow! To platinum all 3 remasters is some feat of achievement! I'm just happy to play through all 3 games again. I've completed 1 & 2 and am just starting TR3 now. I don't think I'll ever get the platinums 😂😂😂 I keep trying to get the trophy in TR2 where you kill all the enemies in the ballroom of Lara's house with the music playing. I can't do it 😂👍 Great videos and well done on getting the platinums. Difficult is an understatement in these 3 games 🔫🔫
That ballroom trophy sucks so much! 😩 It was possible the least enjoyable trophy in the entire collection. But you can do it! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😃 Sorry for the late reply!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! Actually, I suppose it's not really a cornerbug, but something else. I looked it up myself. Lara needs to sprint to this platform, just across a corner of swamp, during which the player must release the sprint button and hold the action button instead. Then Lara will sort of fall through the cliff, and land on top of it 😅
That’s insane you did that speedrun with only 4 seconds left. I would struggle on tomb raider 1 to combine the speedrun, pistols only and new game plus in one run and I know that game very well. I couldn’t imagine doing that on 3. Congrats I’m going to play through them all again next year and try to plat them all. Managed to get nearly all the trophies on the ps5 version. Only one I’m confident I can actually do is the first one
Hahaha, yes, I couldn't believe my eyes 😅 I knew I was getting dangerously close though, as I noted down the finish time of each level in a spreadsheet. Good luck with them, you can do it!
I completely lost it when you "removed" the guy from the race with the rocket launcher. X'DDDDDDD My god I'm so scared to go for TR3 ng+ I'm taking my time to play and practice to go for trophies but damn I'm having a blast with the remasters, I don't remember the last time I enjoyed a videogame so much. Actually I went on vacation to the place of someone that never played Tomb Raider and in a week we played the 3 games and the expansions together and I made him fall in love with the saga, and I feel so happy and proud about it xDDDD BTW, The end of the video is 50/10. Sweet revenge on the backstabber.
You can do it! It's bad, but it's not impossibly bad, if you know what I mean? It feels REALLY good to suceed! Aww, that sounds absolutely amazing and like the best time ever! 😃 I'm glad you made a new Tomb Raider fan 😎 Haha, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😃
Congratulations on getting TR3 platinum! Plus it would have been nice to have the "Choppa!" part from Predator added when earning "Get to the choppa!" trophy for the reference. Plus here's a hint for "Wilderness instructor": In the area where you climb a tree to drop a raptor body to distract piranhas leave one of the raptors in the trees alive. All the soldiers in the main crash site will gather to tree area and shoot the raptor practically locking them in the area and saving them from endless raptor assault once you start the turret part.
Thank you! 😃 I thought about it, but my Lion King video taught me that I need to be really careful about using movie clips in my videos unfortunately 😩
The encounter with the three mutants where you get a trophy for killing them with your pistols could have been skipped on your new game plus run. When you enter the room, climb the ladder, follow the path round to the left... one awkward jump later... you're at the exit.
For the Survival Instructor and the one whene you have to kill every enemies with pistols, the canon in Crash Site doesn't count as a kill for the trophies
