Been playing TR: anniversary lately after couple years away from TR series. As a result, i loved to compare things especially the environment between the remake and original. I realized this level was huge in the remake. Took me good 2 hours to complete it in first walk through. Also, i noticed the gorilla & the crocodile seen here in the original TR wasn't included in TR anniversary's lvl 5. It's indeed been a great improvement in terms of detail of the game since the first TR came out in 1996.
it's interesting to see the original tomb raider once again. Although, the game came out in 1996. Had to play the game back in 1998; only became aware of the game when i saw Tomb Raider III from the back of the manual of Ninja : Shadow of Darkness. As a result, this brought back a lot of memories & nostalgia. However, i only managed to get to lvl 3 : Lost of valley in original TR. Still glad to have this game for the original Playstation.
@addicttorocknroll The earliest place to get the Magnum is a secret in the Colosseum, which you will probably miss. Otherwise you get them from Pierre, there might be one or two other places as well. The earliest place to get the Uzi's is a secret in Sanctuary of the Scion, again it's easy to miss. Otherwise you get it off an enemy in Natla's Mines
Trapping the poor gorillas in the room at the start, evil! :p Again, great shortcuts over the time-consuming and awkward pillars. Is it waves I can hear in the background? St Francis' Folly is on a cliff above the sea isn't it? I never heard those before anyway. Extremely speedy descent through the rooms and the structure itself - nice tricks you employ there. A superbly daring dash through the Damocles room. Great escape from the boulder in Atlas as well. Amazing.
@Ultimatley , hi are you referring to the remake ?? Tomb Raider anniversary? If so i think u meant Hephaestus. I believed the developers changed Thor to Hephaestus in Anniversary. They had that same lightning that sparks the floor when u came in Hephaestus' room. Also Hephaestus like Thor was the first of the 4 rooms to be accessed in this level.
Very classic game. Worth playing, even now. Took me nearly six hours first time through this level! :) At 1:33, does anyone know how to get into that area you can see on the left of the screen?
impressive. i just finished TR3 getting every secret, medi pak, gun clip using only pistols and never using a medi pak on any level which took me an age. will put on soon but i would love to see a TR3 SPEEDRUN!!!
Thor's lightning seems random, but doing the same movements I do means it never hits you. I was very lucky with Pierre in this run. The PC version lets you save anywhere which is good for practicing stuff (unless you're suggesting this is some sort of TAS). You can actually avoid triggering the gorillas at the start? In any subsequent runs of this level I do though I will intentionally spawn Pierre in the first room, then you don't have to fight him later.
This is the last level I ever got up to my dad leant the game to someone and they still have it :/. I could get past the one where you swin under to get the key but I don't think I ever got past any of the other rooms. The sword room used to creep me out and I always got killed by the falling swords.
One of the best things to do on this level was making her do a fine dive off the very top platform. Alternatively, you could just make her jump but you'd have to listen to her screaming which took away some of the enjoyment.
RUNNING BACK IN THE ROOM OF DAMOCLES?! Does Pierre does the same routine every time you play? The lightning in Thor's is random, so it was luck. The way you came down suggested a lot of trial and error. Does the pc game has a save state feature? I like the way you moved vertically on the tower hall. I would take notes...Did you know you can avoid triggering the first gorillas and the first time Pierre appears?
I remember watching my uncle play this game when i was about 5 just after it came out and it seems so much harder in anniversary:/ yet i dont recall being shot by the frog in the new one?
Hey whatever happened to fighting this dude in Ammiversary? and there were no crocodiles! damn that sucks. They took away many nice things in Anniversary =/
There's no other way I can put this; bullshit. This level can be done in sub-8 but it's still likely to only be about 30 seconds faster at most (although I don't know until I rerun). I don't know what the tip about the slope part is for; doing that is slower than swimming (or, at best, only a second or two faster).
lol die Grafik :D zu geil. Ein hoch auf die Spiele Entwickeler und die neuen Grafiken. Wenn ich heute Tomb Raider 2 , 3 , 4 spiele bekomm ich echt ab & zu mal n anfall da sie sich so Kästchen-weise bewegt (schieben, springen...) :D
I meant it was the most impossible i.e. the hardest. It's cool you can play through it like that. Lord knows I never could. And opposite day isn't until August. LOL. Later man, Alan
laugh if you want but its possible. the only thing i used was flares and save crystals. Area 51 was tough cos of the alarms and guards. Madubu gorge was a REAL BITCH cos of 2 drops in the kayak. One to get a save crystal and the other at the end. You have to get down the main gorge without to much health taken away at all. Lost city of tinnos was near impossible but i made it after months of play and multiple LEVEL restarts i did it with a EMPTY BLACK health bar but still alive.
Peirre such a wimp hiding behind walls and dissapearing. Man I would keep following him and wrestle him down and shoot his head! I'll say "See shouldn't have ran. You would be dead faster if you didn't run." Then laugh and go ahead on my adventure.
I remember 12 years ago when this came out it looked amazing. Doesn't look like it's aged well but it was an awesome game in it's day.
Incredible speed! You must have played this few times... You know this game by heart.
Ive just played this level on the Anniversary edition and oh man, the visuals have changed so much. Still love the original Tomb Raider game.

The way you land that sideways jump at 7:17 is pro ;)

I have Never Ever EVER Passed this level...Thank You so much for this walkthrough ;) I'm gonna go try it now ;)
That's one sweet set of squares you have there.

il numero 1 di tutti i videogiochi!!!

man this shit was fun back in the day.
impressive. i just finished TR3 getting every secret, medi pak, gun clip using only pistols and never using a medi pak on any level which took me an age. will put on soon but i would love to see a TR3 SPEEDRUN!!!

You can get it from "Good Old Games". It comes in a pack together with TR 2 & 3 ;)
This game is amazing on aniversary i was so impressed. 2 young 2 really enjoy this game at the ttime still good though.
VERY good. Excellent timing.
I love TR1... it's much better than Anniversary, I think.
Have you played the anniversary version? Makes this old Damocles version like childs play!
@Cazkumali The PC version only has ambient tracks.
This is the last level I ever got up to my dad leant the game to someone and they still have it :/. I could get past the one where you swin under to get the key but I don't think I ever got past any of the other rooms.

on TRA Thor is not in St. Francis Folly and it was Hephaestus

Depends whether you're on the PAL version, timing is the same anyway though.
There is a glitch I found back in 96 which saves about 20 secs on this level, it could of been very useful to you.
could you please tell me were i'll find the uzi and the magnum (i'm at level 7 now), because i have already 10 magnum bullets but no gun.
On the psx,Pierre is triggered as soon as you take Thor's key. The lions after Neptune and Atlas each.
Hey whatever happened to fighting this dude in Ammiversary? and there were no crocodiles! damn that sucks. They took away many nice things in Anniversary =/
Is the PC-version faster than the PSX-one?
Meanwhile, nice falldown at 3:46 ^^
This is my fav level.
I could never get to this level, seeing as how I gave up on lvl. 4... My dad got to here though... I'm not sure if he got any further though...
the block that falls at 2:37, will u die if yur under it? i haven't heard or seen anything on it O_o
Where do I get this game D: I played it when I was younger, but couldn´t pass level 8 :S... got stuck, Now I wanna try it >:(
i remember this level... took me weeks the 1st time round lol... good going :)
Ahhhhhh the memories 8D
There's no other way I can put this; bullshit.
This level can be done in sub-8 but it's still likely to only be about 30 seconds faster at most (although I don't know until I rerun).
I don't know what the tip about the slope part is for; doing that is slower than swimming (or, at best, only a second or two faster).
I remember me and my dad playing this too.
@MMAN2 why is there no music m8?
@TitoPiruly At which part?
Where is the awesome music? :(
I can't agree, I steamed through TR1 with no problems when I was 11 but Anniversary gave me troubles.
That's another secret, accessed from the ramp part ;) .
ya! damocles is insane! it takes me at least a good 30 min to get past it! so scary!
@MMAN2 oh okay lols xD
i was afraid that u could get crushed by it like the huge hammer
8 MINUTES?! O_O It would usually take me an hour to complete this level!
Scratch that last one, I noticed you already did avoid Pierre.
Correct.
Perhaps, but I find it hard to believe you've actually achieved that.
Unless you used items, which changes everything.
@MMAN2 ok thanx m8
A Tombraider 3 speedrun is already available here: speeddemosarchive.com/TombRaider3.html
darth, u have to slide backwards, grab the ledge, let go and then jump backwards and then hopefully hit the ledge
:D
I have that game on PS 2. Oh, i hate the THORmission. And the crocodiles are so fast, man :D
Indeed :) .
i remember eating jam sandwiches while watchin my dad play this... then bout 2 years afta they split up :(
@ElNath645 You appear on top of it.
I'm in the exact same place in Anniversary. :D
lol die Grafik :D zu geil.
Ein hoch auf die Spiele Entwickeler und die neuen Grafiken.
Wenn ich heute Tomb Raider 2 , 3 , 4 spiele bekomm ich echt ab & zu mal n anfall da sie sich so Kästchen-weise bewegt (schieben, springen...) :D
Impressive... It took me 4h back in the day (1997 xD)
holy shit egypt is hard as hell...
the santuary andteh obelisk are the killers...
Guess I missed opposite day.
@tavini1 Try Ebay or something
Well he is french, their new flag is a white cross emblazoned on a white background
If that block falls on you nothing bad happens; you just get warped on top of it.
lol! i kno! the swordsin the ground are wat really killed me
Oh, I don't know, so I don't die perhaps?
well, i don't have any proof you did it but I guess it it with practise !
3:55....up to the name of God has a lifepack!
Old video, i watched it when i was 11 :) Today, i am 17.
-claps- fair play i duno how u managed 2 get past lightnin wivout gettin shockd i always do lmao =x thanks this video helped alot x
I meant it was the most impossible i.e. the hardest. It's cool you can play through it like that. Lord knows I never could. And opposite day isn't until August. LOL.
Later man,
Alan
yeah he wants lara :P
Nope actually true. It takes an age though and lots of trial and error. I think its impossible on 2 though
That gorrilla was lara's mother. XD
laugh if you want but its possible. the only thing i used was flares and save crystals. Area 51 was tough cos of the alarms and guards. Madubu gorge was a REAL BITCH cos of 2 drops in the kayak.

pierre came out and shot me
Do it then. The more decent runs the better.
Apparently they didn't know much about Greek mythology :) .
Yeah, right. No medipak..hold on a second while I laugh..
A secret
atlas was cool but damocles was teh best by far!!!
This was hands down the WORST level in the entire game. I don't think I ever finished it (just used a level skip code). Good job, MMAN2
Peirre such a wimp hiding behind walls and dissapearing. Man I would keep following him and wrestle him down and shoot his head! I'll say "See shouldn't have ran. You would be dead faster if you didn't run." Then laugh and go ahead on my adventure.
Anniversary is much easer then this
Yeah, too bad the same can't be said of every level.
i hate this lvl but u r very good nice
that level as rather easy for me..
"...and never using a medi pak..."
Bullshit!
LOL! Peirre. What a wussy. He didn't take one shot at you and he ranaway like a wuss!!! LOL
