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?

The move sequences here are confirmed for NTSC and NTSC-J discs. PAL players have reported the same sequence making Lara explode instead, so results may vary.

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.
