Bit of a TR1 spoiler, don't you know....

Just a silly little tip for those re-playing the original TR1...

In the vast chamber with the BIG sphinx ( Sanctuary of The Scion ) - if
you have played it before, don't, that is DO NOT, just run right out of
the back of the sphinx's neck and climb on up and make the jump for the
invisible platform with the Uzis on it right away first thing. If you do
you will find Lara being targeted by an atlantean on the ground at the
same time as she has to deal with the two flyers...and, while the one on
the ground can shoot her, she can not shoot at it in return. And those
Atlantean fireballs can really eat up the damage levels real quick. Bummer!

Now, on to Natla's Mines and bye-bye weapons. Double bummer!!

scroll down the page a bit, until you view the BIG sphinx.

Timing !! This can be done with taking a little care to watch

The monsters motions. Wait until the time is right.

Take out those "flyers" first and then climb back up the BIG

sphinx huh.

Grab the Uzi's - quickly jump to the wall, then down to get the fireball monster.

This is a most exciting quest to grab those Uzi's and the

Monsters are ready to "take exception".

Imho: this jump to the invis platform should be done by

All Tomb Raiders, as it IS exciting, i mean like even go back from

a save game just to do this leap of faith. Part of what "made" TR1

What is was/is !! Why so many Tomb Raiders replay TR1 !

** no fate **
