The secret in the shooting range of the Red Alert level (TR5) is the only secret in the 5 classic TRs that i cannot get, even now i still cannot get it.
Yeah, it's brutal. Perhaps it should've been in 1st place. The reason I decided against that, is because you can just instantly tell if you're having a bad attempt and reload your save.
This video ironically made me want to play 3 and 4 again, even though I always found them the hardest. I also loved the music in 3 onwards, which this video makes great use of.
I love the music that’s used right at the very beginning of where you’ve ranked secret number 6 in St. Francis Folly. It’s the music you’ll hear when you enter the grand pyramid before Natla appears, and the ultimate final battle of the game begins (the Original Tomb Raider, not Anniversary edition to save any confusion
Currrently playing TR1, I'd have listed last secret in St Francis' Folly on honorable mentions. You have to be very coordinated to perform the famous roll/run/grab/jump considering the limited time to grab the secret. It's very easy to fall and die as well 😅 I have a video suggestion: how about your favorite soundtracks of TR classic games ? 😉 Nathan McCree OST are definitely masterpieces, I often listen to them.
For sure! That secret is tough, so I made sure to at least show it briefly in this video. Thank you for your suggestion, I actually thought about doing a video like that. It would be very tough to do however, as I love so many tracks in the series.
Just a random thing: "Here lies Tihocan.." that part is one of my all time favorite scenes from the games. I only wish the new games were as athmospheric🥺
Oh yeah, I agree completely. I love all of those cutscenes from the first game btw. I'm afraid the atmosphere of these classics will never be matched ☹️
Just pick any good indie game, they're all athmospheric at some extend. Especially those who do homage to PS1 graphics. Cause they weren't produced by greedy companies like Blizzard or Ubisoft.
I think a perfect way to end the Secrets franchise is the "Top 10 Secrets of the Secrets Videos", it's what the people want 😂 in all seriousness though, I've to give major props for going back and fixing any issues you had with the videos. What ultimately matters is if you're happy with the video you made 😊 looking forward to the next upload!
Hahaha! Or how about I reupload the videos enough times to make a Top 10 Reuploaded Top 10 Tomb Raider Secrets Videos video? 😂 Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
The last secret in Lud's Gate which due to a bug caused by saving your game at a certain point causes that secret to become inaccessible. Not sure if that counts as a hard secret, but it technically shouldn't after you take the appropriate steps to stop the security guards from sealing it. Next up Top 10 Nastiest Traps in the Tomb Raider series.
I actually think it's hard to obtain even without the save game bug. Sometimes I get spotted by the guard in the water even. And it's a very unintuitive secret to obtain, as it's unclear how to get past the guard and frogman.
@@AxMania Oh I did it in my last playthrough. I really liked the idea because it was really a phase of infiltration. Just on the end where I spent my time to reload my game because I was always being spotted by the guard at the end of the section, Unaware that it was perfectly normal and that from there, I had to hurry up to intercept the frog man.🤣 But this one was really fun actually (except when you block it by saving at the wrong time, now I understand why it was blocked in my first playthrough.)
Yep, your number one pick is very deserved. When i first saw what door i needed to go to, i thought there is no way it will be timed… of course it was. Freaking TR3. I instantly said ” nope, i am not doing all of that” 😅
Ironically I played enough TRLE levels that I've sort of mastered TR4 rope swinging. The key is to jump before the peak of the swing. For whatever reason the engine makes her go crooked at the last second. Jump sooner and she will go straight. IDK why that "bug" exists but I've navigated around it.
Do you mean the feature , where while swinging, u reposition yourself up and down and and in the same time you press the jump button and lara gets a superboost ..like taras viking
Curiouser and curiouser. Love the more mysterious and less obvious secrets, especially the ones with surprises and additional enemies. Not the annoying ones that are a pain in the ass to accomplish.
@@AxMania Exactly. Like locating the Shotgun in Lost Valley, early access to the Magnums in Colosseum, The T. Rex Duo in The Great Wall, the hut in Antarctica, the Double Secret in RX Tech Mines, the timed door from afar in Lost City of Tinnos, even the rat human hybrid pathway in It’s A Madhouse, even though I have not played that level yet.
One more honorable mention I just remembered - in Temple of the Cat there's a really obnoxious secret in a small room with a very low ceiling, containing numerous pushable blocks. So you have to solve the whole thing like a Sokoban puzzle, in order to reach the actual secret. This on e sits somewhere on the border between hard and plain annoying :P
I don't mind watching again 😊. Do you think you could do a video with the prettiest tomb raider levels? I have suggestions: TR1: Palace Midas TRUB: Temple of the Cat TR2: Bharkang Monastery TRGM: Furnace of the Gods TR3: Madubu Gorge TRLA: It's a Madhouse TRLR: Coastal Ruins
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! That's a great suggestion, and some amazing picks! I agree with all of them. Coastal Village from Tomb Raider III should be on there as well, for the beach at the beginning alone 😍
Call me insane, but I always dug Aldwych and the atmosphere it evokes. There’s something special about wandering around in a very urban area at night time while at the same time feeling very lonely.
Honestly, even though you didn't talk about it, you actually showed one of the ones that trips me up a lot. It's the very last secret of TR1 with the pendulum and crumbling floor that you have to do a run and jump across in order to get the secret. For some reason, it ALWAYS trips me up and I never know how to do it properly. I either get sliced up by the pendulum or run out of room for running and drop off the edge of the crumbling floor and die. Takes me a lot of tries to actually make it across and get the secret.
Yeah, that one is tough as well, and it also has a bug where the game won't register the secret. I find that the easiest method is to jump and grab so you hang off the floor tile (it won't break as long as you just hang from it). Then time your pull up with the swinging axe, and do a running jump to safety. It's definitely one of the harder secrets.
Your video was interesting. I was born in 2002, so the only TR games I could play in my childhood were Legend, Anniversary and a little of 2nd game from 2nd reboot, so I could play first TR games only when I became adult. One of hardest secrets in Classic TR, in my opinion, is in Great Pyramid level in the 1st game. There is a long room in which it is limited on both sides, but in the center it's free. At the very end, next to the exit from the room, on the right there is an entrance to a room with a secret, where there is extra loot. But the joke is that there are 3 Atlanteans in the room, and when you just enter the room, the trigger goes off, and you must have time to kill all the monsters and run to the secret in LESS than a minute, otherwise the door will close and it will NEVER open again. And considering how difficult the Atlanteans are in combat, who constantly jump back and forth like macaques, and considering that the combat system in TR isn't its strong side, it's nearly impossible to get in time, unless you 100% mastered the controls. I even tried to avoid the fight and run to the secret as quick as possible before shooting, but Atlanteans immediately attack you if you turn your back to them, which is a constant death. I died multiple times and if even I succeeded, I was always too late and the door closed before my nose. So I decided to do some trick: I avoided some bombings, shooted a bit and then got to the room, healed myself and killed every monster, while inside the room (the door won't close if you're inside). Atlanteans were too buggy to go fully into the room so I easily killed them all and took secret loot. But it was such pain in the ass😅
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Oh, it's so cool you went back and played classic Tomb Raider, in spite of being born years after they came out. I know EXACTLY the secret you describe here, and I agree completely! It's brutal. In general, those Atlanteans are just such a pain in the ass, because of how frantic and aggressive those encounters are. I'm sorry about the late reply, but sometimes comments don't show up to me until weeks later, for some reason.
1:07 I think the same. This secret is so hard. I died there so often. 🙈 2:37 You´re right. 😅 3:42 A demon? Isn´t it just a tiger? 5:29 The solution book says that they are giant misquitoes. 8:47 You mean, the most hated level. 😅 11:07 This secret on top one? The secret before was harder.
Spot on. That last one though 😩 the feeling of getting to it right as it's closing. With the recent Tomb Raider Remaster release I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the patience to do it 😂
You can do it! A great tip is to press the look button when the camera shows the door opening, which I didn't know about until recently. Will give you 4 or 5 seconds extra.
For the St. Francis folly jump all you have to do is hang off the edge of the second slope, pull yourself up, and immediately jump backwards. The kicker is you have to let go of every button on your controller as soon as she starts her jumping animation to make it. For some reason if you have any button or direction held for too long you won't make it.
Yeah, that's true, there are a couple of ways this jump can be done, and it's even easier now with Lara being able to do her mid-air flip jump in the first game.
Ok, that second row of rolling snow boulders was a troll move for the ages and back in the day OF COURSE it caught me by surprise. But then again, it's TRII, what are we expecting?
I was a huge fan of classic TR games, from 1 to 5 (and of course the expansions of those) and until Legend, Anniversary & Underworld era, I don't really like the new ones but the old series from 1994 and TR1 to Underworld, all of those were amazing. Before I even start to play the vid I was 101% sure about the No.1 hardest secret of all, the lost city of Tinnos, it's by far from second the hardest of all old TR games.. ALL of them! one pull, about two minutes to jump, climb right, sprint, run to essentially run the 3/4 of the level and you can miss it and have to do it again with only one wrong move, not two, just one! But old series were amazing, I was 11 years old when TR1 released and played it like maniac, specially these years texture-mapped graphics tech was totally new and pioneering for this era. I wanted to make a version of all the other games not only TR1 - Anniversary which was amazing too, but also 2, 3 & 4 (just imagine how the Egypt TR4 would be in a version like the amazing TR1 Anniversary and new graphics, level desings and the clever secrets and traps in this game). of course new TR games are amazing too, but those days can make whatever they wish, for 1994-2008 it was ...something else! loved all of them.
I agree completely, the classic series of Tomb Raider games were second to none. Those games are just magical to me, so I'm happy to read you share my admiration for them. Haha, it was not hard to predict that number 1, was it? 😅 Yeah, I always say that the new Tomb Raider games are great games, but not great Tomb Raider games, if that makes sense? Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Tomb Raider 😎
I really enjoyed this. I remember playing 2 and finding all the secrets. Seems easy I guess and perhaps it is, but some of those were a bastard to get hold of. It motivated me to do 3 and get all those secrets and get to that Hallows level. And yes, I used a walkthrough, but, God help me, I did it. Apart from Tinnos. And after trying for a zillion times, I relented and put in the all secrets cheat code and finished the game. In the end, I didn't play the Hallow's level because I felt a fraud. What did I learn? Try harder. Great vid, great commentary, great gameplay, great channel, great job. Thank you.
Again, thank you so much for your kind comments on my videos, I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy my videos and that they've been helpful. Sadly (after all the hard work you need to do to unlock it) All Hallows is a pretty boring level that feels very half-baked compared to all the other levels 😕
In Sant Francis I always got the 2nd secret jumping forward 2 times (one to jump to the following slide and the another to jump and grab to the edge). It's hard to calculate and u lose some health... But it was another way to get it.
Secret #7 (slope in Tomb of Tihocan) is much more forgiving in the Remastered because the platform is simply reachable from the ground of the room and the crumbling platforms aren't even necessary ✨
St. Francis Folly secrets are tough but one that really irks me is the timed secret. You need to step on the pressure plate and make it to the bottom in time or you might just have to reload last save and try again. And if that's not enough you might lose some health if you make rough landings or are attacked by enemies.
The invisible platform secret in TR3 is easily the 1st for me. I found all other secrets, but couldn't get this one, I ran back and forth in Tinnos, checking every pixel and polygon...for weeks! Then, shame or not, I had to check a guide. It's something I usually never do. But this one made me. So yeah, it was cruel. Didn't even realized that the luminous wasps can reveal the invisible stuff...gosh...
11:34 Lemme tell you, you could easily have about 4 seconds more time if you immediately toggle your weapons after pulling the switch. There's no need to watch for the door opening animation, as you can move during it, and toggling weapons quits the cinematic view after you pull/press levers/switches in all of these games.
i remember renting tomb raider revelations on the ps1 at blockbuster when i was around 10, i was stuck at the first level the whole time. i was too young and wasn't good at this type of games
I think St. Francis Folly‘s hardest secret is definitely the timed switch in the deity shaft. First of all the switch is just a floor tile on top of the shaft and you get no sound cue or anything to indicate that it’s even a switch. I knew there was a door on the bottom of the shaft and i needed to check out if the tile did anything by jumping to my death. If you make your way down casually the door will long be closed and you might even think the tile did nothing since you don‘t know that it’s timed. Not to mention that even after you figured it out, the race to the secret is extremely tight.
Yeah, it's definitely up there, and having recently done a no medipacks playthrough, it made it a lot harder because you suffer some fall damage from obtaining this secret.
@@AxMania Wow congrats, did you do it with save crystals? I tried one with no save crystals (manual saves possible), only pistols, no med packs, all pickups. It wasn‘t really intentional, but at some point i commited to it. After taking too much forced damage in the Great pyramid though, i had to give up before the doppelganger room. The three atlantean before sliding down to her are a nightmare 😂
So I finally got to updating all PC versions I got on Steam for my controls and display and testing Tomb Raider the Last Revelation I just got into the flying blades of death thing and I was like I FORGOT THAT GAME HAS NO DIFFICULTY CURVE. It's just a flat line. But the worst part? IT HAS A ROPE. The rope jumping is hardest part of Tomb Raider series. Even worse than timed and water puzzles... Somehow... I am just glad Joseph let a pair of Israel Military Industries SMGs in Egypt for us to find.
@@AxMania They're also so prevalent in 4! I went through opening chapters and several "big" moments are anticlimactic rope sections. Biggest offenders are that secret, final of otherwise amazing spinning room, and KV5 that's near perfect level with random "and now go to alcove in scaffolding and jump the rope" moment.
6:21 in TR 1 remaster we can jump backwards, twist lara in the air and then grab the wall. This mechanic didnt exist in the original game, only apearing in Tr2
This was a magnificent list! I concur with the placements, however, i think the secrets involving invisible platforms are the worst, simply because you are given no indication on what to do (at least, in the majority of cases)
@@AxMania Oh the secret with wasps in the city of Tinnos was not so difficult to find (as long as we do not rush head down without thinking, hello me in my second playthrough...). I had found it quite easily by taking the time to kill some wasps: they usually fall on or next to invisible platforms, allowing to discover the passage. A small torch allows to discover the rest.
Haha, I was probably the only one to notice the mistakes 😅 There was an error in every single transition between ranked entries, wrong numbers for a secret in both videos, and a random fade effect accidentally added to one clip of VO. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😃
I tried it out, but you unfortunately can't. You can reset the camera by withdrawing Lara's guns however, which I didn't know about until after I released the video 😮
That secret with the slope jump in St Francis Folly doesnt require a timed jump at all. Simply let lara land on the lower slope, grab that ledge, climb up, hold jump and roll at the same time, and after she's turned around, grab the ledge. Thats how i got up there. Edit: Realized this is only possible in the remaster, nevermind then lol
I remember when playing as a child to find that secret in tomb of Tihocan at the first time. It's just my intuition back then to say "Wait what is there maybe left and right?". The secret before in the same level though was harder for me to find out. I had no clue where that other secret was until I stumbled upon the closed door. And at some point I got it open by randomly going to a corner. The problem ist I couldnt reproduce it on a second run. The door would just open after I walked around the room and I still can't say what rules apply to it. So I find that secret actually harder than the one at the slope. Also because its not too difficult to reach it since you can also jump earlier to the left and still reach the secret by sloping down to the platform on the left... The secret in St. Francis Folly was perhaps a bit difficult to reach, but unlike other secrets it was not difficult to see. Here I also found the next secret ( the door down in the big room) way way more difficult because I had to spent hours and days to find out that I had to jump on this random tile to open it and that it was a timed door for which you didn't have much time. The secret that you mentioned just takes a few tries to figure out but the other one should be actually in this list since I found it one of the most difficult secrets in TR1.
Yeah, I see your point, but this list was more about secrets that are hard to obtain, than secrets that are hard to find, because there definitely are secrets in the latter category that are worse than those on this list. I personally don't think the timed run secret in St. Francis' Folly is THAT bad (again, when you know it's there), but it's definitely up there.
I'm wondering if it will even be worth it to go for the all secrets trophy in TR3R. I'm already half way through TR1R, and have picked up 100% of the secrets.
Hmm. There's one in Coastal Village, in Tomb Raider III, that's literally out in the open. It's literally just in a corner of the village. It always feels so random when the chime sounds, because it just feels like a normal area of the level.
@@AxMania also a couple of the early India ones in TRIII that AREN’T the shotgun. As if Core Design tried to convince newbies that finding them would be a cakewalk… 😙
@@AxMania It's actually one of the easiest "glitches". As long as Lara performs the flare throwing animation, the stumble animation can't be played. So there is a very big time window to press that button.
In Tinnos it’s also possible to get the small medipack from underneath the boulder if you keep running into it long enough (it won’t kill you once it has landed).
Secrets that open up only when you LOSE a challenge, make negative sense! Its also hard af to lose the senate game. The 13th Floor "murder the scientist" secret when Zip tells you not to is so scummy.
Stone dragon in Bartollis hideout TR2. The switch that opens a door is located on a wall and was very difficult to find for me. Beside that gold dragons in the ice palace and the catacombs of the taillon. The former one is hidden in a room which is accesed b pulling out a very well hidden block of a wall. In the catacombs you find the gold dragon by climbing up a ladder which i found hard to see for a long time.
@@AxMania I found it by noticing a difference in the wall textures, which became a habit after I found out about the brilliant last secret in The Cistern. …. which would make my Top 10 for ‘hardest levels’, btw… It takes a special mindset to survive a level that’s as nonlinear as possible (NOT helped by the waterlevel gadget) while carrying 87 keys you’ll have to use.
@@AxMania I remember one player explaining how an incredible bit of luck enabled them to find the Ice Palace gold secret. They lit a flare, which made the movable block stand out, and after opening the way, used another flare to check for any more movable blocks. There weren't any, but when the flare ran out and Lara discarded it, the spent flare hit the invisible bridge and bounced. The player noticed and investigated, and found the way to get to the secret. BTW, how about a top 10 of TR moments that make you go 'Wow!'? Things like the very first time Lara encounters a T-Rex in Lost Valley, the discovery of Randy and Rory's corpses in Temple Ruins...
Funny thing about #1, its a lot easier to aquire if you play on the remastered version using modern controls, mainly because its difficulty always came from how stiff lara was whenever she sprinted which is somthing the modern controls fixed. Not saying its a cakewalk now, just nowhere near as bullshit as it originally was.
Love the channel! Nostalgia hits hard. 😊 About the 4th secret: shouldn't you hold the torch all the time while picking things up, as I recall bettles avoid fire in TLR?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I thought so too, but it didn't work in this room when I recorded the footage. The beetles attacked me even when I carried the torch, so I recorded the footage without it. A bug maybe?
How about ranking all the regular enemies of the games next? Just replaying TR1 and i forgot how annoying and dangerous the mummies are, especially in those close quarters they often appear in.
That's a great suggestion, but it would be a very long list, haha! The mummies are super aggressive, and difficult to deal with no matter how experienced you are with Tomb Raider. I always dread them...
I actually think that the last secret of St. Francis is way harder: that one which is at the bottom of that huge pit with the four chalenges. you have to step int a gray floor and need to run for your life to grab it without dying because of the falls.
the tihocan slope secret is only hard because you made it hard on yourself: don't get on the central slope, instead do a running jump to the rocks on the right then just keep the jump key pressed until you end at the opening
@@AxMania ye it was fun to try aswell i went from top to bottom without the climbing back up trick and just did a roll-backflip took me quite alot of attempts but i didn't play the games since back in the 90's xD so i ain't no pro at all
For the last secret I just use the lever then roll and let her fall into the water at the left end of the platform. It's quicker and you don't loose any health.
11:46 and now image this with the new game+ hard mode i just have 1 save crystal before where the 3 mutants are i was doing all this and going then for the secret to get that crystal to get 1 save crystal and this in 1 try wasnt never sweat that hard after i did it xD every fail was 100% a send back before 3 tinnos mutants :'D
Hahaha, oh no, that sounds like an absolute nightmare! That's the problem with Lost City of Tinnos... it comes so late in the game, that you'll never have enough savegame crystals to get comfortably through it. Congratulations for doing it! 🥳 That's really impressive! 😃
@@AxMania not many that did newgame tr3 they loosed it bec they waste tomuch saves in the levels before and with the last level its the end of every player image to play tinnos without a death xD innew game + mode i think just a handfull can do this me not for sure xD
The very last secret of Tomb Raider I should be a honorable mention because if you play the steam version you can't actually obtain it. The chime will trigger but the level stats will be one secret short. I'm still mad
Is it fixed with Tomb1main? What about TombATI, OpenLara, other ports? I am not playing the Doxbox version it was deprecated ALWAYS, as Windows ver. existed.
@@KasumiRINA when I beat the game not long before leaving my previous comment I played the Steam version patched with TombATI. I don't recall if I had patched my game with tomb1main, sorry.
i don’t think i’ve ever even attempted the last one i got all i secrets in tr1 and 2 but 3 i always give up part way and just use the all secret input code instead to get all hallows ☺
Hah, yeah, that's certainly less stressful 😅 I generally find the secrets of Tomb Raider III to be less enjoyable to collect overall, compared to the previous two games.
The secret from the Midas level was unfair. You need to do a glitch in order get it. Without a guide back in the days or internet there would be no way of actually figuring it out.
@@AxMania 2013 had entire secret tombs, definitely. But the way the game was made there's SO MUCH collectathon some pickups need as much effort as classic secrets. I need to actually replay the whole series and get to Rise and Shadow, they collecting dust in my Steam library.
So that’s how you get the secret 6 in St-Francis folly ? I always did it the hardest way by perfectly timing my jump forward to bounce on the platform below and managed to grab the one on which is the secret. But it still took me so many tries to get there, it made me crazy. And I just want to say proudly that I was able to get the number one hardest secret of all time last week for the first time after about ten tries. It's just a shame that I missed all the others secrets in the lost city of Tinnos.
Apparently, there's numerous ways to get that secret 😅 You can also just time a normal front jump so that Lara just lands and kisses the second slope, but I've never done that. Congratulations, that's awesome! 😃 Haha, oh well. The wasp secret is nearly as bad as the big epic secret, I warn you 😞
@@AxMania I already obtained the wasp secret in my first run. I just forgot to obtain it again in my second run. And why I realized it, I discovered that we can't come back to get it.
The only one I never could get across all the games is the shooting range in Red Alert. I simply can’t aim that fast, it’s as simple as that. No walkthrough is going to help if you simply don’t have the reflexes, sadly.
@@AxMania Everyone is different! My reflexes just aren’t up to it, but maybe other people don’t find it too bad? I don’t know. I do know that it’s always bugged me, having that one secret I simply cannot get. 😔
When i first time reached wisps on Tanos level ... i died by wisps. Second try i just equipped my rocket launcher and using "look around" button aim into the hole when they spawn. BOOM. No one wisp spawn anymore. PS1.
Hmm, I always found it hilarious the hardest secrets to get were oftentimes not particularly impressive ones. At least with TR2, you were almost guaranteed to get something useful if you did locate the 3 dragons. (^_^)
Agreed! All that hard work, and then just for same random (often shotgun shells) pickup. I love how Tomb Raider II did it, with the little dragon figurines, as those were just fun to search for. Secret pickups aren't different from regular pickups, when they are just medipacks or ammo 😛
Some Tomb Raider secrets are unfair. I am talking about finding a secret in order to find another one. I think there was at least one in Tomb Raider III and one in The Lost Artifact. Also, not a fan of invisible platforms.
Editing tip you used the error (or buzzer) sound too much towards the end. Would’ve been less annoying if the sound switched halfway. Otherwise nice vid.
Самые сложные секреты, это конечно Tomb Raider 3(1999 год), все из-за того, чтобы взять секрет, надо по любому тратить кристал сохранения, а это чревато последствиями The most difficult secrets are, of course, Tomb Raider 3 (1999), all because in order to take the secret, you have to spend a save crystal anyway, and this is fraught with consequences
Your righteous anger when talking about the 3 ropes in Tomb Of Semerkhet losing path made my day
Psst - you can press jump to get more distance off the ropes :P
Yeah those Catacombs ropes were enough. As a kid, I just always restarted the game of Senet if I lost lol
I get PTSD just from rewatching those parts of the games. Hats off for you for actually replaying all of those!
Haha!
The secret in the shooting range of the Red Alert level (TR5) is the only secret in the 5 classic TRs that i cannot get, even now i still cannot get it.
Yeah, it's brutal. Perhaps it should've been in 1st place. The reason I decided against that, is because you can just instantly tell if you're having a bad attempt and reload your save.
I don't mind, I just watch it again 😉
Haha, aww, thanks!
Same lol
I really don't mind to watch it again and again and again! 😍 I've already watched all your videos at least 3 times each 😅 Loved this take on it! 🥰
Wow, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰 I hope there won't be any more reuploads now though! 😅
This video ironically made me want to play 3 and 4 again, even though I always found them the hardest. I also loved the music in 3 onwards, which this video makes great use of.
Thank you, I really appreciate that! I hope you'll enjoy your playthroughs!
I love the music that’s used right at the very beginning of where you’ve ranked secret number 6 in St. Francis Folly. It’s the music you’ll hear when you enter the grand pyramid before Natla appears, and the ultimate final battle of the game begins (the Original Tomb Raider, not Anniversary edition to save any confusion
Yeah, I love that track as well. All the music of the first Tomb Raider game is so nostalgic to me.
Currrently playing TR1, I'd have listed last secret in St Francis' Folly on honorable mentions. You have to be very coordinated to perform the famous roll/run/grab/jump considering the limited time to grab the secret. It's very easy to fall and die as well 😅
I have a video suggestion: how about your favorite soundtracks of TR classic games ? 😉 Nathan McCree OST are definitely masterpieces, I often listen to them.
For sure! That secret is tough, so I made sure to at least show it briefly in this video.
Thank you for your suggestion, I actually thought about doing a video like that. It would be very tough to do however, as I love so many tracks in the series.
Just a random thing: "Here lies Tihocan.." that part is one of my all time favorite scenes from the games. I only wish the new games were as athmospheric🥺
Oh yeah, I agree completely. I love all of those cutscenes from the first game btw. I'm afraid the atmosphere of these classics will never be matched ☹️
Just pick any good indie game, they're all athmospheric at some extend. Especially those who do homage to PS1 graphics. Cause they weren't produced by greedy companies like Blizzard or Ubisoft.
I think a perfect way to end the Secrets franchise is the "Top 10 Secrets of the Secrets Videos", it's what the people want 😂 in all seriousness though, I've to give major props for going back and fixing any issues you had with the videos. What ultimately matters is if you're happy with the video you made 😊 looking forward to the next upload!
Hahaha! Or how about I reupload the videos enough times to make a Top 10 Reuploaded Top 10 Tomb Raider Secrets Videos video? 😂 Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.
The last secret in Lud's Gate which due to a bug caused by saving your game at a certain point causes that secret to become inaccessible. Not sure if that counts as a hard secret, but it technically shouldn't after you take the appropriate steps to stop the security guards from sealing it. Next up Top 10 Nastiest Traps in the Tomb Raider series.
I actually think it's hard to obtain even without the save game bug. Sometimes I get spotted by the guard in the water even. And it's a very unintuitive secret to obtain, as it's unclear how to get past the guard and frogman.
@@AxMania Oh I did it in my last playthrough. I really liked the idea because it was really a phase of infiltration. Just on the end where I spent my time to reload my game because I was always being spotted by the guard at the end of the section, Unaware that it was perfectly normal and that from there, I had to hurry up to intercept the frog man.🤣 But this one was really fun actually (except when you block it by saving at the wrong time, now I understand why it was blocked in my first playthrough.)
Dude... that was awesome! And I really appreciate the full run of the last one along with those buzzer edits lol. Sub and like for ya!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Thank you for watching and subscribing 🙏
Since the mid air roll jump is now available in TR1 that secret in St Francis' Folly should be much easier. Just grab the ledge after turning
That's a good point! It might be.
Can confirm it was much easier!
What a super video. Some great choices as well. Lost City of Tinnos has to be No.1 What a secret that is. And so rewarding when you be it.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Yep, your number one pick is very deserved. When i first saw what door i needed to go to, i thought there is no way it will be timed… of course it was. Freaking TR3. I instantly said ” nope, i am not doing all of that” 😅
Hi Lauri! Haha, exactly! Tomb Raider III had this wonderful habit of making everything as miserable as possible! 😅
@@AxMania Yeah, even though it is one of my favorites in the series
Ironically I played enough TRLE levels that I've sort of mastered TR4 rope swinging. The key is to jump before the peak of the swing. For whatever reason the engine makes her go crooked at the last second. Jump sooner and she will go straight. IDK why that "bug" exists but I've navigated around it.
Yeah, it also helps me to just take it slow and get a full swing each time. But still...
Do you mean the feature , where while swinging, u reposition yourself up and down and and in the same time you press the jump button and lara gets a superboost ..like taras viking
I could watch your footage of getting that last secret a hundred times, it's still epic.
Haha, thank you! I'll just reupload it 99 more times then 😉
That last one is insane
Haha, it is! 😅
Curiouser and curiouser. Love the more mysterious and less obvious secrets, especially the ones with surprises and additional enemies. Not the annoying ones that are a pain in the ass to accomplish.
I agree. The best secrets are the ones that are their own entire side area, I think.
@@AxMania Exactly. Like locating the Shotgun in Lost Valley, early access to the Magnums in Colosseum, The T. Rex Duo in The Great Wall, the hut in Antarctica, the Double Secret in RX Tech Mines, the timed door from afar in Lost City of Tinnos, even the rat human hybrid pathway in It’s A Madhouse, even though I have not played that level yet.
One more honorable mention I just remembered - in Temple of the Cat there's a really obnoxious secret in a small room with a very low ceiling, containing numerous pushable blocks. So you have to solve the whole thing like a Sokoban puzzle, in order to reach the actual secret. This on e sits somewhere on the border between hard and plain annoying :P
The worst part is that you also have to survive a deliberate troll room just to open the secret at all before you can do the block puzzle.
Oh yes, for sure! I had this one on my shortlist of hard secrets as well.
@@lionocyborg6030 just opening the door to that room would suffice (trigger pad).
But then your curiosity will get the better of you… 🥴
@@janpoelkamp4229 Never knew that. Thanks!
I don't mind watching again 😊. Do you think you could do a video with the prettiest tomb raider levels? I have suggestions:
TR1: Palace Midas
TRUB: Temple of the Cat
TR2: Bharkang Monastery
TRGM: Furnace of the Gods
TR3: Madubu Gorge
TRLA: It's a Madhouse
TRLR: Coastal Ruins
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! That's a great suggestion, and some amazing picks! I agree with all of them. Coastal Village from Tomb Raider III should be on there as well, for the beach at the beginning alone 😍
@@AxMania The coral reefs are beautiful indeed
Call me insane, but I always dug Aldwych and the atmosphere it evokes. There’s something special about wandering around in a very urban area at night time while at the same time feeling very lonely.
Honestly, even though you didn't talk about it, you actually showed one of the ones that trips me up a lot. It's the very last secret of TR1 with the pendulum and crumbling floor that you have to do a run and jump across in order to get the secret. For some reason, it ALWAYS trips me up and I never know how to do it properly. I either get sliced up by the pendulum or run out of room for running and drop off the edge of the crumbling floor and die. Takes me a lot of tries to actually make it across and get the secret.
Yeah, that one is tough as well, and it also has a bug where the game won't register the secret. I find that the easiest method is to jump and grab so you hang off the floor tile (it won't break as long as you just hang from it). Then time your pull up with the swinging axe, and do a running jump to safety. It's definitely one of the harder secrets.
Your video was interesting. I was born in 2002, so the only TR games I could play in my childhood were Legend, Anniversary and a little of 2nd game from 2nd reboot, so I could play first TR games only when I became adult.
One of hardest secrets in Classic TR, in my opinion, is in Great Pyramid level in the 1st game. There is a long room in which it is limited on both sides, but in the center it's free. At the very end, next to the exit from the room, on the right there is an entrance to a room with a secret, where there is extra loot.
But the joke is that there are 3 Atlanteans in the room, and when you just enter the room, the trigger goes off, and you must have time to kill all the monsters and run to the secret in LESS than a minute, otherwise the door will close and it will NEVER open again. And considering how difficult the Atlanteans are in combat, who constantly jump back and forth like macaques, and considering that the combat system in TR isn't its strong side, it's nearly impossible to get in time, unless you 100% mastered the controls.
I even tried to avoid the fight and run to the secret as quick as possible before shooting, but Atlanteans immediately attack you if you turn your back to them, which is a constant death.
I died multiple times and if even I succeeded, I was always too late and the door closed before my nose. So I decided to do some trick: I avoided some bombings, shooted a bit and then got to the room, healed myself and killed every monster, while inside the room (the door won't close if you're inside). Atlanteans were too buggy to go fully into the room so I easily killed them all and took secret loot. But it was such pain in the ass😅
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Oh, it's so cool you went back and played classic Tomb Raider, in spite of being born years after they came out.
I know EXACTLY the secret you describe here, and I agree completely! It's brutal. In general, those Atlanteans are just such a pain in the ass, because of how frantic and aggressive those encounters are.
I'm sorry about the late reply, but sometimes comments don't show up to me until weeks later, for some reason.
1:07 I think the same. This secret is so hard. I died there so often. 🙈
2:37 You´re right. 😅
3:42 A demon? Isn´t it just a tiger?
5:29 The solution book says that they are giant misquitoes.
8:47 You mean, the most hated level. 😅
11:07 This secret on top one? The secret before was harder.
Wow the last Hmm the first was really amazing !!!
Spot on. That last one though 😩 the feeling of getting to it right as it's closing. With the recent Tomb Raider Remaster release I know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the patience to do it 😂
You can do it! A great tip is to press the look button when the camera shows the door opening, which I didn't know about until recently. Will give you 4 or 5 seconds extra.
I was wondering and was like "Didnt i watch this already?" :D
Haha, I'm sorry 😅 I have fixed some errors and reuploaded it.
@@AxMania all cool , i watched it a second time :D nice work ! go on !
Who gives a hell it autism baby! 🧩
I thought this looked familiar. Doesn’t matter I enjoyed watching it again anyway. ❤️🔥❤️
Thanks man, I really appreciate it!
Honestly, that last secret is so ludicrous that the devs had to be trolling hard on that one. All that for a save crystal. XD
Haha, yes! The sad thing is that you probably spend a save crystal obtaining that secret, so it's all a waste 😅
On PC too, the crystals are worthless they just heal on the spot.
For the St. Francis folly jump all you have to do is hang off the edge of the second slope, pull yourself up, and immediately jump backwards. The kicker is you have to let go of every button on your controller as soon as she starts her jumping animation to make it. For some reason if you have any button or direction held for too long you won't make it.
Yeah, that's true, there are a couple of ways this jump can be done, and it's even easier now with Lara being able to do her mid-air flip jump in the first game.
Watching your videos like crazy as I’m just itching to play the remaster so so bad! I wish time would speed up a few weeks 😂😅
Haha, thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear that! 😃
Ok, that second row of rolling snow boulders was a troll move for the ages and back in the day OF COURSE it caught me by surprise. But then again, it's TRII, what are we expecting?
Haha, exactly. That game is just one big troll.
Brings back so much fun and hard ache lol! Was holding my breathe on that last run you were doing.
Haha, I'm happy to hear that! Except for the head ache part...
@@AxMania 😂👍🏼
I was a huge fan of classic TR games, from 1 to 5 (and of course the expansions of those) and until Legend, Anniversary & Underworld era, I don't really like the new ones but the old series from 1994 and TR1 to Underworld, all of those were amazing.
Before I even start to play the vid I was 101% sure about the No.1 hardest secret of all, the lost city of Tinnos, it's by far from second the hardest of all old TR games.. ALL of them!
one pull, about two minutes to jump, climb right, sprint, run to essentially run the 3/4 of the level and you can miss it and have to do it again with only one wrong move, not two, just one!
But old series were amazing, I was 11 years old when TR1 released and played it like maniac, specially these years texture-mapped graphics tech was totally new and pioneering for this era.
I wanted to make a version of all the other games not only TR1 - Anniversary which was amazing too, but also 2, 3 & 4 (just imagine how the Egypt TR4 would be in a version like the amazing TR1 Anniversary and new graphics, level desings and the clever secrets and traps in this game).
of course new TR games are amazing too, but those days can make whatever they wish, for 1994-2008 it was ...something else! loved all of them.
I agree completely, the classic series of Tomb Raider games were second to none. Those games are just magical to me, so I'm happy to read you share my admiration for them.
Haha, it was not hard to predict that number 1, was it? 😅
Yeah, I always say that the new Tomb Raider games are great games, but not great Tomb Raider games, if that makes sense?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Tomb Raider 😎
I really enjoyed this. I remember playing 2 and finding all the secrets. Seems easy I guess and perhaps it is, but some of those were a bastard to get hold of. It motivated me to do 3 and get all those secrets and get to that Hallows level. And yes, I used a walkthrough, but, God help me, I did it. Apart from Tinnos. And after trying for a zillion times, I relented and put in the all secrets cheat code and finished the game. In the end, I didn't play the Hallow's level because I felt a fraud. What did I learn? Try harder. Great vid, great commentary, great gameplay, great channel, great job. Thank you.
Again, thank you so much for your kind comments on my videos, I'm really happy to hear that you enjoy my videos and that they've been helpful. Sadly (after all the hard work you need to do to unlock it) All Hallows is a pretty boring level that feels very half-baked compared to all the other levels 😕
In Sant Francis I always got the 2nd secret jumping forward 2 times (one to jump to the following slide and the another to jump and grab to the edge). It's hard to calculate and u lose some health... But it was another way to get it.
Oh, interesting! So it doesn't require as specific a jump as I thought 😮
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think if you miss that secret you’ll also miss the next one which is in the same section.
@@janpoelkamp4229 nope u can go underwater
yeah, i use the same way
Secret #7 (slope in Tomb of Tihocan) is much more forgiving in the Remastered because the platform is simply reachable from the ground of the room and the crumbling platforms aren't even necessary ✨
Oh, really? That's a shame, I think. But yeah, then it probably doesn't belong on this list.
I Love commenting on your videos just because your my favorite TH-camr.
Thank you so much GG, I really appreciate it! 🥰
@@AxMania welcs
St. Francis Folly secrets are tough but one that really irks me is the timed secret. You need to step on the pressure plate and make it to the bottom in time or you might just have to reload last save and try again. And if that's not enough you might lose some health if you make rough landings or are attacked by enemies.
Yeah, that one is tough as well. I hate the unavoidable health loss in it.
Last Revelation was my favorite of all time, I really hope they add it to the switch shop soon!
I hope so too. They need to remaster all those Core Design games 😉
The invisible platform secret in TR3 is easily the 1st for me. I found all other secrets, but couldn't get this one, I ran back and forth in Tinnos, checking every pixel and polygon...for weeks! Then, shame or not, I had to check a guide. It's something I usually never do. But this one made me. So yeah, it was cruel.
Didn't even realized that the luminous wasps can reveal the invisible stuff...gosh...
Yeah, it really sucks. That's a secret that's just not fun to try and obtain.
11:34 Lemme tell you, you could easily have about 4 seconds more time if you immediately toggle your weapons after pulling the switch. There's no need to watch for the door opening animation, as you can move during it, and toggling weapons quits the cinematic view after you pull/press levers/switches in all of these games.
Yeah, that's a very good point. Could've spared me some stress! 😅
i remember renting tomb raider revelations on the ps1 at blockbuster when i was around 10, i was stuck at the first level the whole time. i was too young and wasn't good at this type of games
Haha, that sounds very familiar. I couldn't complete the first level of Tomb Raider II, in fact, I couldn't even get out of the opening area.
I think St. Francis Folly‘s hardest secret is definitely the timed switch in the deity shaft. First of all the switch is just a floor tile on top of the shaft and you get no sound cue or anything to indicate that it’s even a switch. I knew there was a door on the bottom of the shaft and i needed to check out if the tile did anything by jumping to my death. If you make your way down casually the door will long be closed and you might even think the tile did nothing since you don‘t know that it’s timed.
Not to mention that even after you figured it out, the race to the secret is extremely tight.
Yeah, it's definitely up there, and having recently done a no medipacks playthrough, it made it a lot harder because you suffer some fall damage from obtaining this secret.
@@AxMania Wow congrats, did you do it with save crystals? I tried one with no save crystals (manual saves possible), only pistols, no med packs, all pickups. It wasn‘t really intentional, but at some point i commited to it. After taking too much forced damage in the Great pyramid though, i had to give up before the doppelganger room. The three atlantean before sliding down to her are a nightmare 😂
So I finally got to updating all PC versions I got on Steam for my controls and display and testing Tomb Raider the Last Revelation I just got into the flying blades of death thing and I was like I FORGOT THAT GAME HAS NO DIFFICULTY CURVE. It's just a flat line. But the worst part? IT HAS A ROPE. The rope jumping is hardest part of Tomb Raider series. Even worse than timed and water puzzles... Somehow... I am just glad Joseph let a pair of Israel Military Industries SMGs in Egypt for us to find.
For sure, ropes are the single worst thing in the entire franchise. Water mazes are bad as well, but GOD... I hate those ropes.
@@AxMania They're also so prevalent in 4! I went through opening chapters and several "big" moments are anticlimactic rope sections.
Biggest offenders are that secret, final of otherwise amazing spinning room, and KV5 that's near perfect level with random "and now go to alcove in scaffolding and jump the rope" moment.
6:21 in TR 1 remaster we can jump backwards, twist lara in the air and then grab the wall. This mechanic didnt exist in the original game, only apearing in Tr2
Yeah exactly, so that secret is actually easier now 😮
This was a magnificent list! I concur with the placements, however, i think the secrets involving invisible platforms are the worst, simply because you are given no indication on what to do (at least, in the majority of cases)
Thank you so much! Yes, I tend to agree. I think the invisible platform-secret with the wasps is downright infuriating! 😅
@@AxManiaAgreed!
@@AxMania Oh the secret with wasps in the city of Tinnos was not so difficult to find (as long as we do not rush head down without thinking, hello me in my second playthrough...). I had found it quite easily by taking the time to kill some wasps: they usually fall on or next to invisible platforms, allowing to discover the passage. A small torch allows to discover the rest.
I can't even see what you had to fix in the two secret videos but I assume it was worth reuploading :) Oh well, once again a reason to watch again :D
Haha, I was probably the only one to notice the mistakes 😅 There was an error in every single transition between ranked entries, wrong numbers for a secret in both videos, and a random fade effect accidentally added to one clip of VO. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 😃
@@AxMania Ah I see! I understand it'd bother you if you knew about it :D
Deja vu ❤
😅
déjà-vu*
*Dézsá vüűű
Have I seen this comment before? 😮
@@AxMania Well played!
These were definitely the best secrets video
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
3:45 you can reset the camera with look button
I tried it out, but you unfortunately can't. You can reset the camera by withdrawing Lara's guns however, which I didn't know about until after I released the video 😮
You should make a top 10 most rewarding levels!
That's a great suggestion, thank you!
That secret with the slope jump in St Francis Folly doesnt require a timed jump at all. Simply let lara land on the lower slope, grab that ledge, climb up, hold jump and roll at the same time, and after she's turned around, grab the ledge. Thats how i got up there.
Edit: Realized this is only possible in the remaster, nevermind then lol
Haha, yeah, that mid-air roll move being added to the first game is such a welcome change!
I remember when playing as a child to find that secret in tomb of Tihocan at the first time. It's just my intuition back then to say "Wait what is there maybe left and right?". The secret before in the same level though was harder for me to find out. I had no clue where that other secret was until I stumbled upon the closed door. And at some point I got it open by randomly going to a corner. The problem ist I couldnt reproduce it on a second run. The door would just open after I walked around the room and I still can't say what rules apply to it. So I find that secret actually harder than the one at the slope. Also because its not too difficult to reach it since you can also jump earlier to the left and still reach the secret by sloping down to the platform on the left...
The secret in St. Francis Folly was perhaps a bit difficult to reach, but unlike other secrets it was not difficult to see. Here I also found the next secret ( the door down in the big room) way way more difficult because I had to spent hours and days to find out that I had to jump on this random tile to open it and that it was a timed door for which you didn't have much time. The secret that you mentioned just takes a few tries to figure out but the other one should be actually in this list since I found it one of the most difficult secrets in TR1.
You can open the first secret in tomb of tihocan by stepping on 3 tiles in the corners of the room
Yeah, I see your point, but this list was more about secrets that are hard to obtain, than secrets that are hard to find, because there definitely are secrets in the latter category that are worse than those on this list.
I personally don't think the timed run secret in St. Francis' Folly is THAT bad (again, when you know it's there), but it's definitely up there.
The boing gets me every time.
😂
11:40 DUDE RESPECT ❤
Haha, thank you so much!
I'm wondering if it will even be worth it to go for the all secrets trophy in TR3R. I'm already half way through TR1R, and have picked up 100% of the secrets.
Of course, you should go for all of them! 😎 But that last one is indeed brutal...
Just managed to do that #9 secret on the list yesterday the very first time in my life, tho i've never tried it b4.
Congratulations, well done! 😎
Which secrets would you consider to be the easiest (possibly also worst lol) secrets?
Hmm. There's one in Coastal Village, in Tomb Raider III, that's literally out in the open. It's literally just in a corner of the village. It always feels so random when the chime sounds, because it just feels like a normal area of the level.
@@AxMania also a couple of the early India ones in TRIII that AREN’T the shotgun.
As if Core Design tried to convince newbies that finding them would be a cakewalk… 😙
I always use the flare cancel trick to get some extra seconds for the last Tinnos secret.
That's pretty cool, but must be kind of hard to time and use at the right time?
@@AxMania It's actually one of the easiest "glitches". As long as Lara performs the flare throwing animation, the stumble animation can't be played. So there is a very big time window to press that button.
In Tinnos it’s also possible to get the small medipack from underneath the boulder if you keep running into it long enough (it won’t kill you once it has landed).
Secrets that open up only when you LOSE a challenge, make negative sense! Its also hard af to lose the senate game. The 13th Floor "murder the scientist" secret when Zip tells you not to is so scummy.
I completely agree. Haha, yes, that's a quite cruel little secret as well.
@@AxMania Lara is unhinged in Chronicles. So mean spirited for no reason. "Boo!"😑
Stone dragon in Bartollis hideout TR2. The switch that opens a door is located on a wall and was very difficult to find for me. Beside that gold dragons in the ice palace and the catacombs of the taillon. The former one is hidden in a room which is accesed b pulling out a very well hidden block of a wall. In the catacombs you find the gold dragon by climbing up a ladder which i found hard to see for a long time.
Yeah, all of these are very well-hidden. Especially the Ice Palace one is impossible to find without a guide, I feel.
@@AxMania I found it by noticing a difference in the wall textures, which became a habit after I found out about the brilliant last secret in The Cistern.
…. which would make my Top 10 for ‘hardest levels’, btw…
It takes a special mindset to survive a level that’s as nonlinear as possible (NOT helped by the waterlevel gadget) while carrying 87 keys you’ll have to use.
@@AxMania I remember one player explaining how an incredible bit of luck enabled them to find the Ice Palace gold secret. They lit a flare, which made the movable block stand out, and after opening the way, used another flare to check for any more movable blocks. There weren't any, but when the flare ran out and Lara discarded it, the spent flare hit the invisible bridge and bounced. The player noticed and investigated, and found the way to get to the secret.
BTW, how about a top 10 of TR moments that make you go 'Wow!'? Things like the very first time Lara encounters a T-Rex in Lost Valley, the discovery of Randy and Rory's corpses in Temple Ruins...
Funny thing about #1, its a lot easier to aquire if you play on the remastered version using modern controls, mainly because its difficulty always came from how stiff lara was whenever she sprinted which is somthing the modern controls fixed. Not saying its a cakewalk now, just nowhere near as bullshit as it originally was.
Oh yeah, I can imagine, although I find it impossible to get used to modern controls 😂
Love the channel! Nostalgia hits hard. 😊
About the 4th secret: shouldn't you hold the torch all the time while picking things up, as I recall bettles avoid fire in TLR?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I thought so too, but it didn't work in this room when I recorded the footage. The beetles attacked me even when I carried the torch, so I recorded the footage without it. A bug maybe?
@@AxMania I honestly haven't done that secret so maybe the developers intentionally made the bettles attack you. Anyway, keep up the good work! 😁
How about ranking all the regular enemies of the games next? Just replaying TR1 and i forgot how annoying and dangerous the mummies are, especially in those close quarters they often appear in.
That's a great suggestion, but it would be a very long list, haha! The mummies are super aggressive, and difficult to deal with no matter how experienced you are with Tomb Raider. I always dread them...
He already ranked the worst enemies... the bats. Each of them. Individually 56347 of them.
I know, but that wasn't a very good ranking though. The ranking of bat 267 was highly unfair and not very reasonable.
Remasters come out soon !!!
I actually think that the last secret of St. Francis is way harder: that one which is at the bottom of that huge pit with the four chalenges. you have to step int a gray floor and need to run for your life to grab it without dying because of the falls.
Yeah, basically all of the secrets of St. Francis' Folly are really difficult.
the tihocan slope secret is only hard because you made it hard on yourself: don't get on the central slope, instead do a running jump to the rocks on the right then just keep the jump key pressed until you end at the opening
Good point! I'll keep that in mind in my future playthroughs.
i did nr6 today in remaster without a trick i did backflip roll with modern controls had to be pixel perfect but it was fun
Oh, so that works? I want to try that now.
@@AxMania ye it was fun to try aswell i went from top to bottom without the climbing back up trick and just did a roll-backflip took me quite alot of attempts but i didn't play the games since back in the 90's xD so i ain't no pro at all
What streaming device to you play the classic games on. I’ve been wanting to replay them all
I play the versions I downloaded from GOG.
For the last secret I just use the lever then roll and let her fall into the water at the left end of the platform. It's quicker and you don't loose any health.
Yeah, someone else told me about that tactic as well. I'll try it out when the remasters release 😎
Will you start a whole new channel, Re-AxMania? :D
It hopefully won't come to that! 😅
11:46 and now image this with the new game+ hard mode i just have 1 save crystal before where the 3 mutants are i was doing all this and going then for the secret to get that crystal to get 1 save crystal and this in 1 try wasnt never sweat that hard after i did it xD every fail was 100% a send back before 3 tinnos mutants :'D
Hahaha, oh no, that sounds like an absolute nightmare! That's the problem with Lost City of Tinnos... it comes so late in the game, that you'll never have enough savegame crystals to get comfortably through it.
Congratulations for doing it! 🥳 That's really impressive! 😃
@@AxMania difficult for players they not spare the saves :D
@@AxMania not many that did newgame tr3 they loosed it bec they waste tomuch saves in the levels before and with the last level its the end of every player image to play tinnos without a death xD innew game + mode i think just a handfull can do this me not for sure xD

It's such a stupid design choice 🤔
The very last secret of Tomb Raider I should be a honorable mention because if you play the steam version you can't actually obtain it. The chime will trigger but the level stats will be one secret short.
I'm still mad
Yeah, that bug sucks. That is indeed a tough secret to get, but there is a somewhat bulletproof method at least.
Is it fixed with Tomb1main? What about TombATI, OpenLara, other ports? I am not playing the Doxbox version it was deprecated ALWAYS, as Windows ver. existed.
@@KasumiRINA when I beat the game not long before leaving my previous comment I played the Steam version patched with TombATI. I don't recall if I had patched my game with tomb1main, sorry.

i don’t think i’ve ever even attempted the last one i got all i secrets in tr1 and 2 but 3 i always give up part way and just use the all secret input code instead to get all hallows ☺
Hah, yeah, that's certainly less stressful 😅 I generally find the secrets of Tomb Raider III to be less enjoyable to collect overall, compared to the previous two games.
in tr1 there is a secret when u dont have to use light to get it, another secret in the air also
Oh yes, the one in Sanctuary of the Scion? That's difficult as well, because it's the first time the player encounters an invisible platform.
Luds Gate already made me want to lose my life WITHOUT that secret lol
Haha, yeah... It's a tough one...
I was like wait didnt i just watch this a few days ago? 😂😂
Haha, you might have! I reuploaded it because I fixed some errors in the original 😫
You going to review Tomb Raider Level Editor.
Maybe some day, I've never played any of them, so I'm not in a great position to do so yet.
Putting a secret where the traps or
Creatures are.
Sneaky sneaky Core.😂
Yes, classic Core Design prick behavior 😂
The secret from the Midas level was unfair. You need to do a glitch in order get it. Without a guide back in the days or internet there would be no way of actually figuring it out.
You've missed so many challenging secrets from the TR reboot series! /s
Does the reboot series have secrets?
@@AxMania 2013 had entire secret tombs, definitely. But the way the game was made there's SO MUCH collectathon some pickups need as much effort as classic secrets. I need to actually replay the whole series and get to Rise and Shadow, they collecting dust in my Steam library.
So that’s how you get the secret 6 in St-Francis folly ? I always did it the hardest way by perfectly timing my jump forward to bounce on the platform below and managed to grab the one on which is the secret. But it still took me so many tries to get there, it made me crazy.
And I just want to say proudly that I was able to get the number one hardest secret of all time last week for the first time after about ten tries. It's just a shame that I missed all the others secrets in the lost city of Tinnos.
Apparently, there's numerous ways to get that secret 😅 You can also just time a normal front jump so that Lara just lands and kisses the second slope, but I've never done that.
Congratulations, that's awesome! 😃 Haha, oh well. The wasp secret is nearly as bad as the big epic secret, I warn you 😞
@@AxMania I already obtained the wasp secret in my first run. I just forgot to obtain it again in my second run. And why I realized it, I discovered that we can't come back to get it.
The only one I never could get across all the games is the shooting range in Red Alert. I simply can’t aim that fast, it’s as simple as that. No walkthrough is going to help if you simply don’t have the reflexes, sadly.
Yeah, that's a really good point. Perhaps that should've been #1...
@@AxMania Everyone is different! My reflexes just aren’t up to it, but maybe other people don’t find it too bad? I don’t know. I do know that it’s always bugged me, having that one secret I simply cannot get. 😔
When i first time reached wisps on Tanos level ... i died by wisps. Second try i just equipped my rocket launcher and using "look around" button aim into the hole when they spawn. BOOM. No one wisp spawn anymore. PS1.
Hahaha, that'll teach them! I love the idea of taking out wasps with a friggin' rocket launcher 😂 It's so over the top!
Flashbang transition.
Hmm, I always found it hilarious the hardest secrets to get were oftentimes not particularly impressive ones. At least with TR2, you were almost guaranteed to get something useful if you did locate the 3 dragons. (^_^)
Agreed! All that hard work, and then just for same random (often shotgun shells) pickup. I love how Tomb Raider II did it, with the little dragon figurines, as those were just fun to search for. Secret pickups aren't different from regular pickups, when they are just medipacks or ammo 😛
I dunno about that 40 Fathoms one. I find it to be one of the easiest ones 🤷🏻♂️
I actually think it's the hardest secret in Tomb Raider II. I can't really think of any harder secrets in that game.
Some Tomb Raider secrets are unfair. I am talking about finding a secret in order to find another one. I think there was at least one in Tomb Raider III and one in The Lost Artifact. Also, not a fan of invisible platforms.
Yeah, there are a couple of those. Also, the secrets can feel a little random sometimes. Some are super well-hidden, while others are in plain sight.
"I think you mean there are lamps on the ceiling." ☝️🤓
Haha, well, technically the floor IS the ceiling in this level 😉
@AxMania Oh I know. The nerd emoji is me. That was my first thought when I heard you say that
Editing tip you used the error (or buzzer) sound too much towards the end. Would’ve been less annoying if the sound switched halfway. Otherwise nice vid.
Noted, thank you. Unfortunately, TH-cam doesn't offer the option to replace videos 😫 Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I must be a masochist watching this.

Самые сложные секреты, это конечно Tomb Raider 3(1999 год), все из-за того, чтобы взять секрет, надо по любому тратить кристал сохранения, а это чревато последствиями
The most difficult secrets are, of course, Tomb Raider 3 (1999), all because in order to take the secret, you have to spend a save crystal anyway, and this is fraught with consequences
Yeah, absolutely. They are even hard on PC, even if there isn't the same limited save system.
Re-uploads are also tasty.
Haha, I'm happy to hear that! 😃
How about a new concept? Like top 10 mechanics that used once in the entire game like in revelation you need to lift it not A switch to open it
Haha, that could be a fun topic actually! 😃 Thank you for your suggestion.
Yeah i got stuck there when i was a kid i didnt know u need to open it with action key rather than finding the key.
