Complete St. Francis' Folly walkthrough for Tomb Raider IV•V•VI Remastered, including secrets, pickups, and how to defeat Pierre.
Walkthrough
- 1Upon entering, two lions will be nearby. Climb onto the ledge on the left to shoot them from safety. This is a potential trigger for Deadline 14 (let Lara get killed by the lions).
- 2Head right and push the block forward (West) to open the door ahead.
- 3Towards the building, kill the 2 gorillas (3, 4) 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. This is a potential trigger for Deadline 15 (let Lara get killed by the gorillas).
- 4Option 1: Shoot It Out with Pierre - Head inside the building and throw both switches. Kill the gorilla (5) that comes from your left. You can step on the Omega tile if choosing this option.
- 5To 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. If you are using Updated graphics and see a health bar for Pierre, he will run away when his health meter is about half full. Hide behind a pillar so he is no longer visible to make him disappear. Limit yourself to about 20 - 25% life loss in this encounter. This is a potential trigger for Deadline 16 (let Pierre defeat Lara).
- 6Option 2: Avoid Pierre Altogether - Save frequently (Remastered). In the doorway to the building is a tile with an Omega symbol. Stepping on this tile triggers Pierre. To avoid this battle, stand about a half-step behind the tile and to one side (e.g., the left). Jump more or less straight for the far left corner of the room. Lara can jump far, so avoid angling too sharply to prevent hitting the door or ceiling.
Tips
- This level has 4 Secrets, 19 pickups, 23 kills, and 1 breakaway tile.
- There are 6 Trophies to be earned. Some conflicting Trophies can be acquired by earning one and then reloading and getting the other.
- In New Game+, there are 5 Save Crystals spaced nicely.
- It is recommended to skip the first gunfight with Pierre to save time and grief.
- Be very careful in the tall room with the locks at the bottom; one false step can lead to a Game Over.
- It is advised to skip the last Secret due to the time and risk involved for a modest return.
- For the final battle with Pierre, 4 shotgun shells followed by hiding behind a column worked effectively.
- Enemies like Pierre will go away on their own after a certain amount of damage is inflicted.
- Damage is inversely proportional to distance; shooting from a distance while hopping side to side is a defensive strategy.
- If an enemy is not visible on screen and has taken sufficient damage, they will disappear.
