Welcome to our Tomb Raider 1 walkthrough, Lara Croft’s first adventure from 1996. In this walkthrough we will help you through each level and give lots of tips and assistance.

We would like to thank gaming tips reader Tobstar for submitting this walkthrough.

The new edition of the classic Tomb Raider, which will be released in 2024, promises a lot of fun with the well-known and always popular heroine Lara Croft. If you dare to try the new remaster edition, then we will support you with this guide and show you the way through all levels of the cult game.

And if the fight against the environment and enemies becomes too much for you, don’t be afraid to let the original cheats come to your aid:

Intro – Peru

We start at the gate to the underground world of Andean cave villages. Our guide, who brought us here, stands in front of the door while Lara activates the mechanism for this from above – wild dogs run out of the cave, Lara jumps down and shoots at them and catches everyone, albeit too late for the Indian Leader.

Tomb Raider 1 Walkthrough: The Caverns

You are in the middle of the Andean caves. First run through the cave corridor. Through a small pipe arrow trap around the corner on the right, Lara will show you with the attentive movement of her head where you now have to go – to an ice crack covered with snow ice on a higher level.

But if you want to find all the secrets in this game, you should keep running first. At the end of the entrance path you can jump onto an incline with a backflip and from there you can reach the higher cave in order to pull yourself up Secret #1, a med pack. So now go back across the ice crack into the cave, where a few bats will fly towards you (use the pistol to get rid of them).

In the small ice cave you can jump up from the side edge on the right and get into it Secret #2 pull in. Take the path of the raised level with the bats from just at the end on the left and go down into the opening overgrown with green plants in the upcoming central cave. press the switch at the end of the path.

There are a few more bats in the next cave. Now go left into another large cave with two bridges. A few dogs are running around downstairs, barking terribly and Lara will probably have to calm them down (the 9mm is a great argument, don’t you think?). Crossing both bridges you will come to a section with a small gap that you have to jump over.

If you fall down here, there is a way back to the hall with the two bridges via a switch that opens a door there. We go back over the stone edge along the path over the two bridges. The large staircase takes you to a hall with a few more dogs and a large entrance gate.

But if you want to collect all the secrets, you should jump from the base of the gate to the small balcony on the left (with greenery in front of it). Here you can in a small cave Secrets #3 find. Now go through the large gate with the timed switch mechanism.

After another staircase riddled with pipe arrows, you drop down one level at a collapsed slab. The wooden gate in the hall around the corner is the end of the level that you have to reach. Activate the switch for the level end gate at the opposite end and leave the level through the now open gate.
