Top 10 Hardest Tomb Raider Levels 

For all of the newbies playing these awesome games for the first time, here are some tips from an experienced TR player: 1. SAVE YOUR AMMO AND MEDIPACKS!!! This game needs to be played like a Survival Horror game. I know it can be tempting to use brand new weapons when you discover them or use up your medipacks when your health is low. USE ONLY WHEN NEEDED. You do NOT want to screw yourself late game when enemies become much stronger, trust me. 2. SAVE YOUR GAME!!!!: Please do not forget to save. I know that some of you may be younger gamers who are used to auto save systems. BREAK YOURSELF OUT OF THE HABBIT. Save any time you reach a new area, complete a puzzle, pick up a key/ artifact or defeat a boss. 3. ALWAYS STAY VIGILANT: If something looks suspicious, it most likely is. These games are known for their deadly traps that will pop up out of nowhere. If you see a long hallway or an incline, that should be your first sign. If you enter a chamber and see a tasty item just sitting there that looks easy pickins, SAVE YOUR GAME and beware of your surroundings before attempting to grab it. 4. MASTER THE CONTROLS: This is by far the most important tip I can give to a new player. Practice, practice, practice those controls in Lara's Home. A lot of newer players will struggle with this, especially the younger crowd because of the Tank style controls which are out dated. But, platforming in this game is a puzzle in itself. Lara's jumping is EXTREMELY accurate and dont underestimate her. She can easily make a jump that you may think she cant make or is impossible. She can also very easily over shoot a jump sending her to her demise. I HIGHLY SUGGEST bucking up and getting used to the tank controls for optimal performance with these games and HAVE PATIENCE. Youll feel like a complete boss once you master these controls and you will say to yourself "IM COMPLETELY IN CONTROL OF THE GAME". Some people have been complaining about the delay in her jump. Remember, she jumps at the last minute and the buttons ARE pressure sensative. I suggest setting your controller sensativity between 8 and maximum for faster and more responsive platforming. All of this also comes handy in combat. Once you master her jumps, back flips, rolls, etc, you will find that the combat in this game is very rewarding. You always want to be on the move. She will go in the exact direction that you point her in, people knock tank controls but they are HIGHLY ACCURATE. Give it some time, youll actually start to appreciate them. I also suggest using the D Pad for more precision, especially while platforming. 4. DONT BE AFRAID TO EXPLORE: Check every nook and cranny in these games. It can be very easy to miss a key item or some power ups/secrets if youre just running around aimlessly or getting frustrated. Try to think outside of the box. Some puzzles can be a little complex so be patience. Its definitely a virtue with this game. Have fun and happy Tomb Raiding people! Hope my advice helps!!!

The fact you showed us the full run to the secret on the final entry was so satisfying!! Thank you 😁

I miss the classic tomb raider games. They actually felt like an adventure you overcame. Beating them actually meant something.

What I always loved about classic TR is that the most difficult levels were often the most enjoyable, too. The sense of accomplishment is what made them so unforgettable for me. My first TR game was TR3 and I can still point out the places where I was stuck for days before I finally figured out what to do. I clearly remember a rainy day on spring break when I was on the Madubu Gorge level, searching for hours, going back and forth because I couldn't find the way, until I realised I just had to look up above me 😂 My grandma was making donughts in the kitchen. I remember like it was yesterday! There are no other games like TR ❤

Temple of Xian is a masterpiece. I recently beat TR2 again and was surprised at how the level just KEEPS GOING. In my memory it was like three different levels lol. Once it was over I felt such a sense of accomplishment. My favorite level in that game for sure.

Here, to make things easier 2:13 Floating Islands 3:30 Temple Ruins 4:52 Red Alert! 6:15 Crash Site 7:25 Underneath the Sphinx 8:45 Madubu Gorge 10:30 Lud's Gate 12:05 RX-Tech Mines 13:42 Temple of Xian 15:04 The Lost City of Tinnos

I played the classic Tomb Raider when I was 10 years old with my father. I learned swear words when we played some of these levels. But we still loved the game. There will never be another Tomb Raider like this.

Bought my mum a rose today and went to play Tomb Raider 3, her favourite and the only one she got to play at a friends house a bit ago. Happy moments today, happy womens day to all the raiders and non raiders and im sure this is another banger video(yet to watch) so nicely done Ax :)

So basically: Tomb Raider 3

Grew up with TR3, I can only laugh at how hard it was for me back then. I remember the first time I managed to kill Sophia Legg (found out about the last jump to access her area randomly) and I ran outside to tell my father about it near the garage because himself couldn't beat her and I was so excited to finally reach the Antarctica levels 😆

Ohh snap, I never realised that the direction of lara's braid moving in the air maze in the lost city of Tinnos was a clue - that's clever, I love that.

Amazingly captured everything about Lost City of Tinnos. The frustrations is palpable, lol. Also, I wasn't sure if I was actually watching you collect the secret or just an outro until the door closed. That's an INSANE secret, I wonder who actually found that one without a guide (whoever did: kudos to you!). Anyway, another great list! Happy International Women's Day!

What makes the classics so unique is their scale, I actually feel how lost I can get when exploring. The new games have that cinematic quality and everything is much more linear.

Nice list! The thing about the Tinnos puzzle is that the blocks next to each switch show a type of food chain. Two of the food chains are wrong as they depict fish eating birds and trees eating moose or deer. Big carnivorous plants aren’t typically found near those animals and shark attacks on seabirds don’t sound that common. So the puzzle is easily solved by pushing only the buttons whose food chain blocks make sense E.g. humans eat fish, birds or deer who eat plants or fish.

The Level Design of these old TR Games were amazing. Today, everthing has to be "realistic" and this takes away lot of the fun.

Tomb Raider 3 was the most difficult game on the franchise for sure. TR4’s backtracking definitely makes the game hard but TR3’s levels definitely takes it to another level! Great video as usual! Hardest levels videos are always interesting 😊Thanks for the upload my friend and looking forward for more!

I'm surprised Aldwych didn't make the cut. That level is ALWAYS a headache for me, no matter what. I've completed TRIII a dozen time at least and I still can't remember by heart where to go and have to try and guess by exploring and running back and forth. It's such a long and confusing huge level.

Another fantastic video! Thank you! 90% of classic tombraider games were difficult for me because my brain at 10 years old was hollow ,but hell it felt great gaining IQ points from each level

Those flying monsters in Floating Islands are actually the resurrected Terracotta Army. I have realized this many years later...

Making me want to go play Temple of Xian again

Temple of Xian and Lost City of Tinnos are excellent examples on how and how not to do difficulty respectively. Xian is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish where the challenge was invigorating. I left that level feeling energized having conquered all the trials it threw at me, and wanted to play it again right after beating it. Tinnos however was a test of patience more than anything else, and instead of that invigorating feel I got from Xian, I just felt like the level just beat me up and left me feeling exhausted, and not in a good way. Aldwych is definitely up there when it comes to first time playthroughs, but goes from the hardest to easiest London level on subsequent TR3 playthroughs since its difficulty is almost all in the navigation and puzzles.

Loooove this video so much. To me the hardest level is Aldwych

"Temple of Xian is their daddy. And daddy is on steroids..." Oh my gosh you're hilarious man. Also great vid :D

The timing couldn't be better, just discovered your channel while I just started replaying the classics! The list is absolutely spot on. I would add there are levels that are apparently on the easy side but get hard when you do things in the "wrong order". You end up in an area that you were supposed to visit later on and you obviously miss *something*. If you play short sessions and you tend to forget easily it's as frustrating as the hard levels. And that's the beauty of the classics. Press X on a lock, thinking you have the right key only to get a slap in the face by hearing a bare "NO" 😂

Truly one of the best game series EVER and the original 5 games have a special place in my heart; I’m proud to own them. Now I want to replay all, minus the second. ❤️❤️❤️

Rx Tech Mine and Temple of Tinnos are truly nightmares. But Temple of Xian is really great and is fun to play. All challenges are fair and absolute doable. My mother and i switches while playing it because its so long. That's always a beautiful mother/daughter moment then we played it again. Thanks for the great video. Love your Tomb Raider videos😁

Tomb Raider 1: The easiest yet most challenging of the bunch. There's some nonsense here and there, but most of it felt satisfying to overcome. Tomb Raider 2: A ridiculous spike in difficulty, and yet the challenge is far lower. An unintuitive first level mixed with poor enemy design and over-emphasis on shooting made for an unrewarding experience. Tomb Raider 3: Easily the hardest, but some of it harkens back to the more intuitive design of the first. More satisfying challenges, enemy design and variety help to distract from some of the nonsense, particularly confusing sections that expect you to have a walkthrough. Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation: Less difficult than 3, but less challenging also. The puzzle-solving ranges from satisfying to unintuitive, and there are more occasions of needing a walkthrough. Most of the bad is saved for the last two areas, so the player gets to see all the good before quitting, fortunately. Tomb Raider Chronicles: Somewhere in between 3 & 4, difficulty wise, but easily the least challenging. No matter how skilled you are, it can't distract from how boring and unpolished the game is. A load of old shit, to put it lightly.

TR3 was my very first Tomb Raider game. I love it, especially the first level. So many good memories

I still have moments where I think about Lost City of Tinnos' last secret, I honestly feel doomed.

Clearing the honorable mention room in Tomb Raider Remastered gets you a hidden achievement. Your video helped me unlock it!

I miss the classic series and I hope people play them more often again and share their experiences with those amazing games! Happy womens day!

Kula World… Memories 🥹🥹🥹

I like how you showcase the entire last Tinnos secret to show how epic it is. I usually safety grab and fall into the water from the top platform after pulling the lever, so I forgot how tight the intended route can actually be!

Surprised Aldwych isn't on here. While its my favorite of tr3's London section its just as difficult as Lud's Gate in my opinion. It's a huge level that is very easy to get lost in due to its interconnected layout. You have to dodge speeding trains and a whole ass drill! That stupid ticket booth is annoying. There's that maze of doors, and what the hell was up with that star being hidden behind a fake wall!?! Again loved that level, but it really tests your patience.

As always a nostalgic pleasure to watch!

I agree with you. "Lost City Of Tinnos" is definitely one of the hardest levels in the series and the "Secret" you mention is really the hardest. Although I looked up the solution, it took me ages to get it because it's also timed. I'm missing the level "Aldwych" from "Tomb Raider 3". I find it difficult because you have to repeat a certain path over and over again. If it's not difficult enough, it's at least the most boring for me. I hate this level.

These are always really good, one of the few channels I'll literally drop everything to watch a new video. Not really much to add except Lud's Gate deserves a higher ranking because there's a spot you can softlock yourself - there's a single block slope the devs thought you couldn't get to that leads directly into a wall so you just keep sliding forever and can't jump out. It's not huge but if you have to replay the whole level because of it, you remember...

I bought Tomb Raider II on Steam a couple years ago and my favorite level was Temple of Xian, for sure. It keeps you on edge the whole time and by the time you finish it you really feel accomplishment, it feels like your final exam before getting your degree in Tomb-Raiderology.

When we needed him most he returned… Cheers for the videos mate they’re amazing! Keep up the great work 👍

Temple Ruins definitely the rookie killer of the first 5 titles! Even now as an TR veteran which I can say I’m pretty familiar with this level, I still feel uncomfortable and don’t want to replay it.

I agree with this list. Especially the lost city of Tinnos. I couldn’t stand that one!!

Temple of Xian has always been my nightmare level in all PS1 Tomb Raider games, it's the pinnacle of the worst and hardest difficulties of Tomb Raider 2. >

The most challenging part of classic TR was the loading time between deaths by mistimed jumps 😂 The loading time on the PC version was so long, especially in TR4, that many a time I had to restrict myself from throwing the whole PC out the window after dying 20 times and having to wait 6 billion years each time 🤣

Watching this yesterday missing my Lara and wishing i could play this again. Woke up this morning, turned on my ps5 and I see in the store tomb raider 1 2 and 3 remastered 🥳🥳 February 2024.. So f*cking enthusiastic 😂😂

Lud’s Gate should definitely be higher, spot 1 or 2.

aldwych is the hardest level of all time for me 😅

Who else want tomb raider 1 original remaster to ps4 and ps5??❤

Underneath the Sphynx is widely considered one of the most difficult levels in entire TR, because they didn't explain how to do anything we need to do there. Lost Library is also quite difficult. TR4 in general has "multi-levels" connected to each other like Karnak or Alexandia or Kairo. They are shorter but combined with each other. Temple of Xian is terrifying. I'm in shock that i once passed it. But i must say that for the Tomb Raider 2 players, the first big challenge and scare will always be the Opera House. It's has a ton of enemies, and TR2 gives few times less medipacks than TR4. I have around 4 big and 12 small medipacks at this 4th level of TR2. In TR4 i would have 30+ at this point.

6:03 I still have no idea why a robot can choke in a gas chamber. Just nonsense.

The hardest map is in TB4, swing from one rope to the other took half of my child hood

For me "Lud's gate" is the worst. This level is a nightmare

Ice Palace in Tomb Raider II is insane. The yetis and the mercenaries make it very difficult but challenging.

TR 3 really is a game for the TR veterans... Almost every level is a challenge..... but for most of the time, I enjoy it....the 2 Levels I really dislike in terms of difficulty are RX Tech Mines and Lost City of Tinnos. But for the rest, i dont mind the high difficulty at all.

Shout out to Temple Ruins. It is amazing that a level that hard was the second level in TR3. No hand-holding, just "here's a long level with dozen of deathly traps, have fun!".

I CLICKED WITH THE SPEED OF LIGHT

In short, Tomb Raider 3 is the hardest Tomb Raider of the first trilogy. But that didn´t stop me , since I finished this game 3 times. Now that´s cool

Played Tr1 in 96 and Tr3 in 98. The upgrade felt unreal back then.

The Kula World reference is spot on, as the game was on the European demo disc together with TR3 in the late 90s

Those levels are so hard that I've had to use Cheat Codes to finish or skip them, because it's absolutely insane

Im gonna enjoy tomb raider remaster next year

Temple of Xi’an ruined my friend’s and my summer as 9 year olds. We spent so many sleepovers and Saturday afternoons battling the controls and corrupted memory cards and torturing our tiny minds with that maze of a level. We probably spent no more than 30 hours in that level but that felt like an eternity to a pair of 9 year olds. We must’ve thrown 10 times that much into the game entire. It caused such a controversy amongst our families that my older cousin was conscripted to finish the level without us being allowed to watch. An agreement was made to buy neither of us any sequel but they needn’t have bothered. After ‘cheating’ our way to the final level the spell was broken and we both lost complete interest in the game. Maybe I’ll pick up the new versions and redeem my 9 year old inner self. Thanks for the memory.

So this is essentially a TR3 video :D

I got the first Tomb Raider back in 1997 and it took months to complete it. I was 12 y.o. at the time. I'm in Ukraine. No internet, no any additional info and other tips back then, and I hardly spoke English. Just you and the game. So every level was difficult. But the emotions after completion of each one were incredible. My hardest level from TR1 is the last one, Great Pyramid

Floating Islands was so scarry

There’s one Egyptian maze level in Last Revelation that took me hours to complete in the year 2000-2001.

Tomb Raider III is a great game, but it's dark, tedious, mazy, and difficult.

No surprise that the majority are from Tomb Raider 3 - brutal game. The end of 2 was a hard run of levels too, but 3 took thing's to another level. Glad they eased off the difficulty in the last two of the PS1 games, imagine if they'd just upped the challenge again for Last Revelation.

Madubu Gorge and Rx-Tech Mines are the worst. Yet, if you save your game under freezing water just before your warmth and breath meters are empty, when you restart the game from there they reset. At least that's how I remember. The real struggles are kayak and mine cart sections. So painful...

Some Ps1 games have a certain creepy atmosphere that can't be replicated nowadays with modern graphics. Like the Floating islands mentioned here and the Catacombs in Medal of Honor: Underground. Especially with those bone chilling soundtrack.

Played all TR Games so far. For me the worst Level of all time was the Ireland section of TR Chronicles. I remember the frustration of doing timed rope jumps while beeing pelted with rocks by Imps without beeing able to kill or permanently get rid of them.

I expected Aldwych in first position. The most incomprehensible level for me. It's just close to impossible to know what to do, where to go etc...

Kula World was such a great game but it was extremely difficult at some point too.😋

I can’t wait till next month for the remastered tomb raider 1,2,3, on ps5, much better than the new games.

I hate any level where I have to swim. After 20 or so years, the mere thought of Underneath the Sphinx and Lud's Gate still fill me with dread...

I was hoping I can say "Did someone say Opera House?" I remember that level being tough with the non stop combat throughout. The Madubu Gorge part of this video is just great in comedy. One part of Temple Ruins that is tough is the two switches part then you drop into the little walkway. Others are a bit tough but it is not too hard of a level to me. Got to watch the part where you climb in the room with the snakes, and the falling ceiling.

The title: "Top 10 hardest TR levels" Video: "Top 10 hardest TRIII levels" 👎👎

'Underneath The Sphinx' was the only one level that I had to follow a whole tutorial to pass it. I had no patience with all the confused damn water maze😤

When Lara "dies" kayaking in Madubu Gorge, she's just sleeping actually, after all those hard puddling she needs a rest lol And she is holding her paddle after all that

Underneath the sphinx is a nightmare. The worst level of TR4. They ruined all the game with that st*pid level. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Notice how Tomb Raider 3 lvls are mostly listed. Tomb Raider 3 is the only game I have never finished completely

I remember back in 2006, I was reading a review of Tomb Raider Legend in a game magazine and the reviewer mentioned how the game was a return to form with many challenging puzzles that are certain to leave the player stumped. He made a specific mention of the puzzle in Cornwall, stumping him for 2 solid hours before he finally figured it out. I got hyped to buy the game and was expecting to be challenged by very difficult puzzles. I breezed through the game, including the so called challenging Cornwall puzzle and I thought to myself: 'Either that game reviewer is an idiot who shouldn't be playing Tomb Raider games or he was paid to say that.' Whichever one it was, I was very disappointed with that magazine since then and never bought another issue because of it, lol. I enjoyed TR Legend, but to claim that its puzzles were challenging is an outright lie if you're used to playing the older games.

While I like the combat and movement better in the modern tomb raiders, navigating the levels in the older ones were just more enjoyable to me. Because of the simpler graphics, almost any flat ledge could be grabbed onto and climbed, versus the modern tomb raiders, where they had to model surfaces specifically for Lara to climb(unfortunate side effect of having more polygons and fancier graphics). So it just came down to following the obvious white paint instead of having to really think about where to go.

TRII was my first game on PS1 as a kid. I still remember one of my older brother who caught a glimpse of me playing and voiced his surprise at how tough the great wall is. [It's the first level and they already throw all these traps at you: funny.] Lil girl me just couldn't get enough of this game, and it was easy for me. TR games are real adventures, they're not easy for sure. I F'g hate underwater mazes, that endless one in TR4 was the worst. Along with the one in Lud's Gate of course..... That Tinos secret is insane.... Nice video as always, appreciated.

I love this channel! You should consider reaching out to SteveOfWarr or RaiderCast and do a collaboration.

I’m sorry but That last secret in lost city of tinnos is just plain stupid !

Tomb raider 2 - the sharks in the shipwreck were my childhood nightmare :D

Oof... I totally forgot about the last secret in Lost City of Tinnos. Whoever came up with this, was a pure sadist lol. Speaking of which, I'm currently replaying TR3 and I curse A LOT. Still fun though :D Great video as always, very fun to watch and entertaining, I LOVE your Top 10 videos!!

Underneath the Sphinx is a textbook (and fortunately rare) example of a level that is difficult due to poor design choices, rather than the intrinsic skills needed to get through it. Like you say, how are players expected to know the right symbol combinations without a clue? And who benefits from getting the right answer purely by chance? And let's not even mention the underwater maze section. It's always a level I'm glad to put behind me!

I loved how there were only certain spots you could save in the old games and not auto saves every 5 seconds. Made the game so much more difficult

I think the great pyramid should be on this list (Tomb raider I)

My personal ranking. And side-note, I probably would've included some of the PC-exclusive levels. But without the luxury of a gaming PC growing up, I had to make do with just my PlayStation. X) 10. Atlantis (TR1): I wouldn't necessarily say it's the hardest level in the game, but when I did a non-professional speedrun of TR1, this one did give me the most issues. Not least of which because of all the mutants to evade and take down, as well as the myriad of opportunities to drop down the pyramid and go "Aaaaaahhhhhh!" X) 9. Wreck of the Maria Doria (TR2): Again, not the hardest level in TR2, but this in my opinion is where the difficulty notably spikes - which I guess is appropriate since it's the mid-game level. I like the approach of turning the ship upside-down, but that just contributes to the amount of traps and hostile marine life one must survive - in addition to all of Bartoli's butch henchmen. 8. Palace Midas (TR1): The fire puzzle alone is probably the most infamous in the game. And I will admit, it can burn you (pun absolutely intended) if you don't get the rhythm of Lara's jumps down. Even I still sometimes have issues with it. It also has probably the most hidden and difficult-to-navigate secret in TR1 (the one behind the garden gate). And of course there's the dastardly hand of Midas that I totally fell for when I played this level for the first time. X) 7. Obelisk of Khamoon (TR1): This to me is like a harder version of St. Francis Folly. The level layout is similar, with a main vertical tower-like chamber and a bunch of puzzle rooms on the side. But these puzzle rooms in my opinion are far trickier to navigate than the ones in St. Francis Folly. Not least of which because of the mummies, and the fact that one of the rooms contains a side-area that mainly exists to punish you for venturing into it. 6. Floating Islands (TR2): The first half of this level is basically "the-floor-is-lava." To this day, the atmosphere and setting alone are haunting, and one false move can send you into the infinite abyss below. Not to mention the bullet-sponge jade warriors that come to life. Granted, you can work around that by just obliterating their statue forms with the grenade launcher. But even then, you'll eventually have to deal with Fiamma Nera knife-throwers who also take an absurd amount of ammo. 5. Lud's Gate (TR3): I'll admit I probably made this level harder for myself by doing the optional museum side-quest, but I personally like the spice of an extra challenge. Even without that though, this level is no walk in the park. You have to be stealthy as well as lethal, and there's next to no room for error when it comes to the swimming sections. 4. Madubu Gorge (TR3): I know you picked this as your #1 favorite level in the classic trilogy, and fair enough. But in my opinion this is definitely the hardest level in the Pacific Islands. Not least of which because of the kayak. Even if the difficulty is meant to be part of the experience, you're gonna have to spend a lot of time getting intimately acquainted with the mechanics if you wanna have any hope of making it through the level. And more often than not, that means getting intimately acquainted with the traps as well. 3. Lost City of Tinnos (TR3): Without a doubt the longest level in TR3, and certainly one of the most frustrating in the classic trilogy if you don't know how to deal with the wasps. Side-note, but on the PS1 version you can effectively deal with the wasps by firing your rocket launcher at the first few that emerge from any nest (Thank you, Stella!). This will stop any more from spawning. But even without the wasps, the Hulk-sized mutants and elemental puzzles will give you more than a slap on the wrist for even the smallest mistake. 2. Barkhang Monastery (TR2): Even now, this level personally can take me forever to finish. The layout alone is massive and you'll often find yourself backtracking through huge areas as you search for the Prayer Wheels. And those same huge areas are often rigged with traps that are near-impossible to avoid. In addition to all that, you have to be careful not to shoot the monks/priests when Bartoli's henchmen come storming in. I personally just let the monks/priests do the fighting for me - and more often than not, they can hold their own. 1. Temple of Xian (TR2): Oh man, when I finally beat this level recently, I considered it not just one of my finest Tomb Raider feats but one of my finest gaming feats in general. This level is TR's version of a Ninja Warrior obstacle course. In your quest to strive back up to the main temple, you'll encounter every conceivable trap - boulders, lava, spike-pits, moving walls, giant spiders, water puzzles. You name it, this level's got it! I saved literally every few seconds just 'cause I didn't wanna repeat a trap in case I died. And when all was said and done, my fingers were half-sore, but my self-esteem was through the roof!

TR3 is my favorite 😊

Thanks for this top 10 video - There are a lot of levels in your list I would put into such a list, too :) sanctuary of scion would be a level I would put into such a list, too - especially the flying enemies and some traps are pretty challenged even with expierence. 40 Fathoms is atleast for a blind run or for someone who did not play the level for ages mäh with the starting underwater and find your way gameplay xD

Me playing as a kid: "why is it too hard?!!! They don't want me to win? Hours and days later: "damn that feels gooooood". Great video! ❤

I learned something: Tomb Raider III is HARD

Whenever I play through TR3 I avoid lost city of Tinnos like the plague as I backed up all my saves. I understand as it's the last level before the final boss it's gonna be hard, but it's just unfairly hard, especially the confuzing room with the switches and the trap doors and those dam bugs attacking you all the time you're trying to figure it out! Me and a friend worked out the "food chain" puzzle with the 5 buttons quite easily though.

While not one level the Cairo section of TR4 is by far the most difficult for me. You have to go back and forth between all 6 levels in that section to complete it. A real pain in the ass. I never finished it as a child and even as an adult it took me ages lol.

Tomb Raider 4 The Spinx pyramid outside jump level for me

timple of xian in my opinion the hardest level if save was limite !

@8:48 LOL this sequence was hilarious with the paused black and white screen and the ding sound 😂 i didn’t see anyone comment about it yet and i had to give you cred for this funny bit
