Complete the Race for the Iris level in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Learn the fastest paths to earn Trophies and beat Von Croy.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the level by sliding down a ramp. Before Lara hits the ground, create a Quick Save. This will be your primary starting point for retries.
  2. 2
    Skip the initial (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) and immediately hold Up and Sprint as soon as you regain control to pass Von Croy.
  3. 3
    Sprint through the upcoming opening. The path will curve right, then left, then left again. Sprint briefly during straight sections, prioritizing control.
  4. 4
    Make a running jump across the first gap. Stop immediately upon landing and perform a standing jump to the next ledge.
  5. 5
    From the top of the ledge, run off the right side into the pit. Ahead, you will find an opening covered by leaves.
  6. 6
    Alternatively, make another running jump before dropping down. Go near the wall, stop, and run off the end to the right, aiming for a short ramp below to maintain momentum.
  7. 7
    Run through the opening and make a running jump to the right, landing in an elevated opening. Aim carefully as the opening is not visible until late.
  8. 8
    Navigate the winding passage: right, left, left, right, and left again.
  9. 9
    You will emerge in front of a gap before a doorway. Make a tight running jump/grab across the gap to the doorway. Falling into the pit means missing the time limit; use the block in the far right corner to climb out if necessary, but this will guarantee failure.
  10. 10
    Quickly turn right after rounding the next corner and sprint to the end, where the path bends right again.
  11. 11
    Choose between overhead monkey bars (slowest option) or making a running jump into the pit and climbing the wall at the other end (recommended).
  12. 12
    Round the corner and make a running jump into the pit, likely landing on a tree root. Perform a standing jump forward to get close to the wall.
  13. 13
    Continue navigating the course, making running jumps and climbs as needed.
  14. 14
    For the second obstacle course, follow similar principles of sprinting and precise jumping.
  15. 15
    The level concludes after successfully completing both obstacle courses within their respective time limits.
Tips
  • Consider using Classic graphics over Updated graphics, as Classic renderings often appear brighter in dark areas.
  • A Quick Save can only have one instance at a time; creating a new one overwrites the previous one.
  • If Von Croy blocks your path (e.g., by shutting a gate or destroying a bridge), you are likely already too far behind to meet the time limit. Reload your game.
  • Avoid the monkey bars in the second obstacle course; climbing the wall after jumping into the pit is significantly faster and crucial for meeting the time limit.
  • In New Game+, you only need to beat Von Croy, not the time limit, on the long course.
  • The source notes finding 1 small medipack and 3 large medipacks during a playthrough, though the small one was not picked up.
  • Medipack counts: Start with 2 small, 1 large. Find 1 small, 3 large. End with 3 small, 4 large.
