Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Stella's Tomb Raider Site gives the same flare, step, turn and jump moves for the Remastered release on all systems, suggests classic tank controls if they fail, and warns that cheats disable many achievements and trophies. Stella's Tomb Raider Site: Tomb Raider Remastered Cheat Codes
- PS1 PAL discs Stella's Tomb Raider Site lists separate PAL sequences that start with a flare lit with L2. It notes some players find the PAL codes make Lara explode instead, and suggests the alternate or NTSC versions. Stella's Tomb Raider Site: Tomb Raider 2 Cheats
- Steam version The Steam Community guide says to hold Shift for the walking steps on a keyboard. Its controller version lights the flare with the left bumper and holds the right bumper to walk. Steam Community Guide: Tomb Raider II All Cheat Codes
- PS Vita Stella's Tomb Raider Site says that to enter the original PS1 codes on a PS Vita, you assign L2 and R2 to the front touch screen and use the D-pad rather than the analog sticks. Stella's Tomb Raider Site: Tomb Raider 2 Cheats
FAQ
Is there a level skip cheat in Tomb Raider II?
Yes. Light a flare, walk forward and back a step, turn around 3 times, then jump forward to end the current level.
How do you get all weapons in Tomb Raider II?
Light a flare, walk forward and back a step, turn around 3 times, then do a back flip. This also gives extra medi-packs, but doesn't work on the last level.
Do Tomb Raider II cheats work on PS1 PAL discs?
Yes, with their own sequences: light a flare with L2, hold Walk and step forward then back, release Walk, turn around 3 times, then jump forward or back flip. If Lara explodes instead, try the NTSC sequence.
What happens if you do a Tomb Raider II cheat without a flare?
Lara explodes. It's a harmless secret, not a real cheat effect.
Why isn't there a flying cheat or save editor here?
The sources list only these move sequences as built-in cheats. The flight patch that circulates is an unofficial add-on, and save files and save editors change your saves, so they are left out.
