Navigate St. Francis' Folly in Tomb Raider I•II•III Remastered. Learn to defeat Pierre, find 4 secrets, and avoid damage.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Upon entering the area, you will encounter two lions. Climb onto the ledge on the left to shoot them from safety.
  2. 2
    Head right and push the block forward (West) to open the door.
  3. 3
    Approach the building and kill the 2 gorillas from outside, being careful not to step on the tile with the Omega symbol. If the gorillas get too close, backhop off the front ledge; they cannot follow you there.
  4. 4
    Option 1: Fight Pierre. Head inside the building and throw both switches. Kill the gorilla that emerges from your left. You can step on the Omega tile if choosing this option.
  5. 5
    To fight Pierre, run off the ledge and stop in the gap between the ledge and the first line of pillars. When Pierre appears, start side-jumping left and right while firing. If he advances, jump over him, twist or roll, and continue side-jumping while firing.
  6. 6
    If Pierre has taken enough damage (about half health in Remastered with a health bar), hide behind a pillar so he is no longer visible. He will disappear.
  7. 7
    Option 2: Avoid Pierre. To avoid this fight, do not step on the Omega symbol tile in the doorway to the building.
  8. 8
    To enter the room without triggering Pierre, stand about a half-step behind the Omega tile and to one side (e.g., the left). Jump towards the far left corner of the room.
Tips
  • This level has 4 Secrets, 19 pickups, 23 kills, and 1 breakaway tile.
  • There are 6 Trophies to be earned. Conflicting Trophies can be acquired by earning one and then reloading.
  • There are 5 Save Crystals spaced well throughout the level.
  • Skipping the first gunfight with Pierre saves time and grief.
  • Be very careful in the tall room with the locks at the bottom; a false step can lead to a Game Over. Take your time.
  • It is advised to skip the last Secret due to the time and risk involved for a modest return.
  • In the final battle with Pierre, 4 shotgun shells followed by hiding behind a column was effective.
  • Enemies like Pierre will disappear on their own after inflicting a certain amount of damage.
  • These enemies generally have a preferred avenue of escape. Blocking this path can cause them to continue firing.
  • Damage is inversely proportional to distance; shooting from a distance while hopping side-to-side is a defensive strategy.
  • Avoiding the fight with Pierre by not releasing him has no negative consequences and does not count as a kill.
  • Save frequently, especially after completing a step successfully in the Remastered version.
