Learn about saving, secrets, floor hazards, and more in Tomb Raider III. Find all 60 secrets for the All Hallows bonus level.
Saving
Saving in Tomb Raider III uses Save Crystals, similar to Tomb Raider 1. You collect and store these crystals for later use. You can use one to save your progress whenever you need to, but it's advisable to conserve them for the later levels.
Secrets
Nearly every level in Tomb Raider III contains secrets, which are hidden caches of extra ammunition and Medi-packs. Collecting all 60 secrets (though the game may state 59) unlocks the All Hallows bonus level.
Floor Hazards
Be aware of floors covered in spikes or barbed wire. Falling on these results in instant death. The only safe way to traverse them is by walking, so tread carefully and avoid saving while standing on them.
Dead Enemies
After defeating human enemies, always check their bodies for items, as they often drop ammunition or Medi-packs.
Lining Up Jumps
For precise jumps, hold the Look button to see the exact direction Lara is facing.
Quicksand
Some areas contain quicksand. Standing in it will cause you to sink. While some quicksand is shallow and harmless, other areas can lead to drowning. If you sink too deep, quickly turn around and try to wade back to safety.
Stealth
During the Nevada levels, maintaining stealth is crucial. If an enemy spots you, they will run to raise an alarm, which can seal off weapon and ammo caches or call for reinforcements. Take all necessary precautions to avoid detection.
Poison
Certain enemies can poison you, indicated by your life bar turning yellow and slowly decreasing. Any size Medi-pack will cure the poisoning.
World Map
Tomb Raider III is divided into five distinct hubs, starting in India. After completing India, you can choose your next destination. It is recommended to visit Nevada first, as you lose all your weapons there, making it better to face this challenge early. After completing the South Pacific, London, and Nevada, you will proceed to the final area, Antarctica.
Walkthrough - India: Jungle
You begin at the top of a large muddy slide.
- SECRET #1: Before descending the slide, run to the slopes on your right and slide down to a green, flat ledge. Turn back towards the mudslide and look for a yellow, mossy area. Take a standing jump to this area to land on a small ledge beneath foliage, where you will find the Shotgun and Uzi Clips.
- Slide down the long slope. You can jump and grab the tree trunk above, but it only contains a monkey. Immediately after, jump over spikes and continue jumping, moving left along the slope. You will land on a flat spot on the far left. Move forward to collect a Large Medi-pack as a boulder stops behind you. Take the Shotgun Shells and slide down the slope, jumping the final pit of spikes.
- SECRET #2: After collecting the Shotgun Shells, turn around and look at the trees. Jump around the tree and curve left to land on foliage. Here, you will find a Save Crystal and more Shotgun Shells.
- At the bottom of the slope, you can proceed into a rocky area or left into a swamp. The swamp is impassable but contains a Save Crystal.
- SECRET #3: Climb onto the ledge and go beyond it to trigger the secret. In the waterfall niches, you can find Flares and Shotgun Shells. Grenades are also hidden in a trench.
- In the rocky area, you can kill a monkey and pick up a Small Medi-pack. Continue forward past a plant into a hallway. At the end, you will find a switch that opens a door elsewhere. If you fall into the water, you will be attacked by piranhas and swept into an underwater tunnel containing a Small Medi-pack. Swim through and climb out to return to the rocky area.
- Back in the rocky area, climb the tree to an open door. Drop into the dark chamber and throw the switch to activate a moving spiked wall. Roll and jump into an alcove to avoid the wall. Once it passes, go to where it originated and climb up to a rope slider. Slide down the rope over the river to a tree stump. From here, run and jump across a gap to a jungle-forested area.
- Engage the Tiger and move forward. To the right upon entering, jump over roots to find Uzi Clips. Collect the Small Medi-pack from the green rocks. You can kill the monkey if you wish and proceed to the next area. Turn left and throw the switch in the small corridor. A boulder will roll down; step onto the nearby ledge to avoid it. You can also grab Flares from a ledge with a vine.
- Return to where the boulder originated and find the monkey in the room. Throw the switch to open the gate and proceed down the path, defeating the Tiger. Afterward, backtrack and use a standing jump to go through brush where you can find more Shotgun Shells. A second Tiger appears at the end of the path. In the next area, avoid a hole in the mist and defeat enemies.
