Your walkthroughs are THE best on the web. They are informative, effective, precise and, best of all, clean, concise and to the point. Keep up the great work! –L.

I've grown up in a family of Tomb Raider players and have followed the series for most of my life. From the beginning I remember my mom using your website when she finally had it with a level. Now I'm replaying the whole series and find that I do need help from time to time and like my mom and dad before me I always use your site! –S.

THANKS FOR WRITING!

Tomb Raider Chronicles (TR5)
Overview & Walkthrough

Tomb Raider Chronicles Overview

After being buried alive in the Temple of Horus at the end of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, our heroine is presumed dead. Friends and colleagues gather at Croft Manor to pay their respects and reminisce over Lara's past deeds. In flashback sequences the player gets to relive four of these adventures: The hunt for the Philosopher's Stone in Rome, a deepsea dive off the coast of Russia in search of the Spear of Destiny, a brush with Hellspawn in old Ireland, and a foray into a high-tech office complex to retrieve the Iris artifact. Lara's fate is still unknown, but these four mini-stories, released in the fall of 2000, helped fill the gap between The Last Revelation and TR6, The Angel of Darkness.

Tomb Raider Level Editor (TRLE): This is included on a separate CD sold with the PC and Macintosh version of Chronicles. Console players can download the software but it can only be used to build levels for PC or Mac. My Level Editor section includes more information.

Platforms: Available for PC, Macintosh, PlayStation and Dreamcast. Now also available for PS3 and PSP as a download from the PlayStation Store. Mac users may also be able to run the Windows version using Crossover Games. Visit MacRaider for details.

What's New Since TR4: The game engine is pretty much the same as in Last Revelation. Lara has some new outfits—arctic camo for the Russian sub base levels, even an Extreme Depth Suit for swimming in icy waters—and in the Irish adventure, we get to play as the teenage Lara. Lara also gets a few new moves: She can now tightrope walk, swing around horizontal bars and somersault out of tight spaces. (See the controls page for details.)

Saving Your Game: There are unlimited saves on all platforms; however, players using the PC version may encounter a bug that prevents saving the game at all. Fortunately this is easily fixed. See the bug note at the start of the walkthrough for details. (PC and Macintosh savegame files are available in case you make a bad save, want to skip a level, etc.)

Secrets: There are 36 golden roses in the game. If you find them all, after the credits you'll be able to access "Special Features" from the options menu. This is a collection of storyboards, etc., created during the game design.

Bonus Levels: No official add-ons, but check out the Level Editor pages for sites with player-created levels you can download.

Chronicles & Windows XP, Vista or 7: You will probably not encounter any particular issues installing or running TR5 under Windows XP, but you will have to run the game in Windows 98/Me compatibility mode. If you're not sure how to do that, or if you run into other difficulties, you're welcome to start your troubleshooting process with my Downloads and Tech Support Links pages. For Windows Vista/7, I recommend the Tomb Raider Multi-Patch download at tombraiderchronicles.com.

Becoming an Expert Raider: If you've never played Tomb Raider before—or even if you have—I encourage you to check out my TR5 Controls and Gameplay Tips & Strategy pages. They include pointers on moving Lara through her environment, conserving health and ammo, using the menu and inventory systems, and much more.
