Lara's Moves

While firing at a locked-on target (hold L1 to lock on), if the enemy becomes enraged (flash followed by a sudden dash), wait until the screen blurs while the enemy approaches Lara then press any direction + the dodge button (O) in order to make Lara dodge in the desired direction in slow motion. Keep the auto-targeting activated while dodging and two crosshairs will form over the target while Lara aims in mid-air. The crosshairs will eventually form one crosshair then turn red. Once the crosshair is red, press R1 to fire and score a one-hit kill on all normal enemies. The adrenaline dodge is used quite often to stun bosses so you must become familiar with using this!

Jump and grapple to any gold rings mounted along the side of a wall and Lara will begin a wall run. Press to the left and right on the left analog to make Lara run then press X to jump. Stop pressing a direction or quickly pull in the opposite direction to have her stop. Hold / then press up or down to have Lara climb up or down the grapple. Press X while standing still on a wall to have Lara jump backward off of the wall.

Warning: When leaping to an area that is across from the wall that Lara is wall running on, press toward the platform (or area) AND press the jump button as soon as Lara is about to turn on the wall. This will make Lara turn toward the platform then kick off the wall with her legs and jump toward the area across from her. The timing must be fairly precise and the platform must be across from Lara, so line her up with it if she isn't already across from it during some portion of the wall run.

Press X twice in succession (once for a jump then again) to make Lara perform a somersault jump.

Press and hold the O button to make Lara crouch in order to move under overhead obstacles. Press the O button while holding a direction to have Lara quickly dodge in that direction. Press O about a second after rolling to make Lara spring upward feet first.

Tap the O button while holding forward on the left analog to make Lara perform a series of forward flips followed by a spinning somersault. Tap the X button during the flips to make Lara perform some different flips and an even higher ending jump.

Press and hold the R2 button while moving to make Lara walk. This is helpful in highly dangerous areas and helps with precision when moving.

Quickly tap X followed by O to make Lara perform a dive. This move is very helpful when jumping into water since Lara will remain submerged a bit in the pool in stead of floating to the top.

Press and hold X while pulling up to make Lara swing her legs onto the platform in order to pull her body up onto the ledge.
