Tomb Raider Series:
PC & Macintosh Cheat Codes
Please keep in mind that I only have the PC version of these games, but as far as I know the Mac codes are the same for all games. All cheats are done during gameplay and are based on the default control configuration. If you have changed any controls, either try the cheats with the corresponding keys you've assigned, or revert to the defaults before entering cheats.
TOMB RAIDER 1 & GOLD (including Unfinished Business Expansion)
Level Skip: Walk one step forward, one step back, release walk and turn around three times in either direction (left or right arrow), then jump forward (Alt + up arrow).
All-Weapons & Ammo: Walk one step forward, one back, release walk and turn around three times in either direction (left or right arrow), then back flip (Alt + down arrow). (NOTE: This cheat does not give med-packs. You can use a savegame editor to add extra med-packs. See the page http://tombraiders.net/.)
Alternately, beat the game and then start a new game without quitting. You should then have all weapons and ammo.
TOMB RAIDER 2 & GOLDEN MASK EXPANSION
Level Skip: Light a flare (/ key), then walk one step forward, walk one step back, turn around three times in either direction, then jump forward.
All Weapons & Ammo: Light a flare (/ key), then walk one step forward, walk one step back, turn around three times in either direction, then back flip. This cheat also provides extra med-packs. (Note that this cheat does not work in the last level, Home Sweet Home.)
Alternately, beat the game and then start a new game without quitting. You should then have all weapons and ammo.
Exploding Lara: Execute either of the cheats above without a flare in Lara's hand. Not a pretty sight, believe me.
TOMB RAIDER 3 & LOST ARTIFACT
IMPORTANT: Do not use the trick of beating the game and then starting a new game to get all weapons and ammo. This will work, but it can result in a bug in which some or all of the middle locations (Nevada, South Pacific and London) are skipped. As far as I know, this doesn't happen in the Lost Artifact sequel.
Level Skip: Draw PISTOLS.* Walk one step back, one step forward, crouch, release crouch, turn around three times and immediately jump forward.
All Weapons & Ammo: Draw PISTOLS.* Walk one step back, one step forward, crouch, release crouch, turn around three times in either direction and immediately back flip. This cheat also provides med-packs.
*Using weapons other than the pistols will cause Lara to explode.
TOMB RAIDER: THE LAST REVELATION (TR4)
IMPORTANT: Many people have e-mailed to say that these cheats don't work. It may have to do with some systems not accepting multiple alphanumeric keys at the same time. If they don't work for you, consider using a savegame editor to add extra weapons or ammo. Or, if you're trying to skip a level, you could download a saved game instead. (See http://tombraiders.net for savegame files and editors.)
If you have trouble making Lara face exactly north, see the note after the cheats.
Level Skip: Use the compass to position Lara facing exactly north.** Then escape to the inventory screen. Highlight the Load Game icon (stone tablet). Press and hold the keys H E L P for a moment. (This is not case sensitive, but you do need to hold all the keys down together.) Then exit the menu by pressing Escape.
All Items (includes ammo & med-packs): Use the compass to position Lara facing due north.** Then escape to the inventory screen. Highlight the small med-pack icon but don't select it. Press and hold the keys G U N S for a moment. (This is not case sensitive, but you do need to hold all the keys down together.) Then exit the menu by pressing Escape.
All Weapons: Use the compass to position Lara facing due north.** Then do the All Items cheat (above). Exit inventory by pressing Escape but continue facing north. Open inventory again, highlight the large med-pack icon but don't select it. Press and hold the keys W E A P O N S for a moment. (This is not case sensitive, but you do need to hold all the keys down together.) Exit the menu by pressing Escape.
(**NOTE ON FACING NORTH: The compass is on the inventory screen. When Lara is facing due North, the red point on the needle points directly to 'N' and the compass needle turns transparent—at least it does on the consoles and on most PC video cards. If you're having trouble positioning her, find a ledge or block that runs east to west and grab the edge from the south side. Then either let go or climb up and Lara should be facing north. If you find that facing north doesn't work, you might try facing EAST instead. I had an e-mail from one raider who says this worked for him with the PC all-weapons cheat.)
TOMB RAIDER CHRONICLES
IMPORTANT: No, you're not hallucinating. There is no compass in TR Chronicles. So any cheat that directs you to face due north is incorrect. Please feel free to send in additional cheats, but to the best of my knowledge, these are the only PC/Macintosh cheats.
Unlimited Small Med-packs: First, you may want to save your game in a new slot before trying this in case it doesn't work. Second, make sure Lara's health bar is less than 100% full AND that you only have 1 small med-pack in your inventory. (Use any extra med-packs and then drop from a height or do something else to make Lara lose a little health.) Now escape to inventory and highlight the small med-pack item. Press and hold the Look button (keypad 0) followed by the numeric key 0 above the letters on your keyboard. You should see the text under the small med-pack change from "1x small medipack" to "small medipack." Press Enter, as if to use the med-pack, and Lara should sigh. Return to inventory and the item should now read "Unlimited small medipacks."
Unlimited Large Med-packs: Follow the instructions for unlimited small med-packs above, except make sure that Lara's health bar is not full and that you only have 1 large med-pack in inventory. Select the large med-pack in the inventory ring, press and hold the Look button (keypad 0) followed by the numeric key 9 above the letters on your keyboard. You should see the text under the large med-pack change from "1x large medipack" to "large medipack." Press Enter, as if to use the med-pack, and Lara should sigh. Return to inventory and the item should now read "Unlimited large medipacks."
Level Skip: To the best of my knowledge, there is no level-skip cheat for PC or Mac. If you're stuck and the walkthrough doesn't solve the problem, try downloading a savegame. (See http://tombraiders.net.)
