Enemies

Picture
Bat
You can't kill these bats sadly; much like in 'Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation', you have to keep moving around to avoid as much damage as possible until these critters disperse.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Streets of Rome ​
Picture
Doberman
The first enemy of the game. Can be taken down with just the pistols; well, at the start of the game, that will be the only weapon that Lara has.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Streets of Rome ​
Picture
Rat
And much like the bats in this game, you can't kill these rats. Keep moving because they will keep nipping away at Lara's health if you stand still for too long. Oh, and they can swim also.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Streets of Rome ​
Picture
Mars
We've named him Mars as he holds the Mars Symbol. This battle can be daunting for a first time player but you need to combine the Lasersight with the Revolver and shoot his eyes out. But don't stand out in the open because if he gets a lock on you, he will shoot dangerous laserbeams at you and really cut down Lara's health.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Trajan's Market
Picture
Picture
Roman Soldier Statue
There are two variants of the Roman statue; the first one you'll meet carries a sword which he'll use to swipe at Lara in the small, closed-in room if she is close enough. He can also shoot dangerous energy bolts from the sword, which are semi-tracking. Decide which gun you want to use and keep jumping side to side until he gets close and then run pass him to start attacking again.

The second statue carries a hammer which he charges with energy and then slams on the ground; if Lara is close enough to the reverberations, she can be hurt. Just keep back, there is enough space to do this in the Colosseum. You will be able to see the damage caused to both statues as they start to lose armour and limbs. Another tip: don't stand near them when they die as this will cause considerable damage.


FIRST APPEARANCE: Trajan's Market (Sword Statue) / The Colosseum (Hammer Statue)
Picture
Gate Guardian
Also known as Hydras in the TR Wad, these beauties remain as stone gargoyles in the first Rome level but at the end of the level 'Trajan's Markets', they come alive, standing free from their original seating place. It's a long battle regardless of what weapon you use, but practise with switching targets because you'll cause more damage if you shoot the one who has a fireball in its mouth. They begin to change colour, turning a darker stone colour the more damage you cause, so try and focus on clearing one at a time to make the battle easier.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Streets of Rome
Picture
Lion
Not too much of a problem; a lion can be taken down quickly with the shotgun. Just keep jumping over the creature to get away from its mouth.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Colosseum
Picture
Gladiator
Use the shotgun on the gladiators too. Or the revolver; it will take four shots. They aren't threatening either.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Colosseum
Picture
Russian Guard
Seen in the first Russian level. For a short time, the only weapon that Lara will have is the pistols. Keep moving, either side-flipping or running and jumping behind them to try and dodge their gunfire.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Base
Picture
Crane Operator
Don't worry, Lara will deal with this chap. Just avoid the crane claw!

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Base
Picture
Russian Sniper
Can be deadly but Lara will pick up the Desert Eagle at some point and that will deal with these (actually only two) enemies easily.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Base
Picture
Husky
The pistols or the Desert Eagle - hey, it's more humane, quicker - will take care of this pretty pooch easily.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Base
Picture
Picture
Russian Mafia
These guys can be deadly, especially if you're trying to challenge yourself to use less healthpacks. Keep jumping over them to avoid their line of sight. Only downside is that they have a quick turning circle.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Submarine
Picture
Chef
The only way to kill this enemy - and you really do have to - is use walk up behind him and use the Crowbar on him. You have picked up the crowbar, right? Don't worry if you haven't; to reset him, climb back into the ventilation shaft and crawl on a little bit before turning back. He seems to forget about the intrusion and goes back to chopping vegetables.

FIRST APPEARANCE: The Submarine
Picture
Attack Sub
You don't need to kill this, just dodge it. When you hear it fire a rocket, release a chaff flare to act as an attraction point for that rocket.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Deepsea Dive
Picture
Imp
Lara has no weapons in these Ireland levels, so she doesn't technically kill these guys. At certain points in the level, there will be the chance to use fire to keep them at a distance or an Iron Clapper to help disperse them. They pop like corn!

FIRST APPEARANCE: Gallow's Tree
Picture
Ghost
Another enemy that Lara doesn't have to kill. Perhaps he's not even an enemy. Just follow him, just not into the wall where a door once was.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Labyrinth
Picture
Skeleton
Ah, now these are enemies. They are almost invisible and if Lara gets near them, they will use their swords to hurt her. If you're brave, run straight past them. If you're more reserved, crawling will help you avoid them.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Labyrinth
Picture
Maze Beast
Don't stand around too long, keep close to the balls of light to avoid meeting this creature. The camera in this section doesn't really give the player a chance to see this creature but it's there. It attacks much like Ammit in 'Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation', looks like her too.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Labyrinth
Picture
Verdilet
Once a man called Vladimir Kaleta, poor Verdilet is now trapped in Ireland by running water. As a player, we don't fight against him; that's all left to in-game cutscenes. But he was a demon and he was prepared to kill a sixteen years old girl and use a priest as leverage against her, so he's still a bad guy.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Old Mill
Picture
Sea Hag
Another enemy that the player doesn't have to kill, gosh, there are many of those. Lara needs to collect a silver coin, not just any coin, but the Sea Hag's favourite coin, to bait her into a crate. Then, she can let the Imps take care of her. Huh, they did have a use after all.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Old Mill
Picture
VCI Guard
The VCI levels have the most deadly of enemies and can end a no medipack challenge run if you are in to doing those. Add to that fact that for some of the levels, Lara has to be unarmed.  These guards are quite a common sight in the level '13th Floor', so luckily Lara is armed. Zoom and aim to shoot them in the face as it's more ammo-efficient. But a tip: where there is a guard, just walk. Where there is a sleeping guard... Well, that's up to you.

FIRST APPEARANCE: 13th Floor
Picture
VCI Armoured Guard
Now Lara is almost always armed when she has to meet these guys. Aim with the HK gun and shoot them in the face. One good shot should be enough. Put the ammo type to HK Sniper Mode to conserve bullets in the long run. They can shoot dangerous laser beams from their futuristic guns, but don't panic.

FIRST APPEARANCE: 13th Floor
Picture
VCI Soldier
Much like the VCI guard, aim for a headshot and keep dodging his gunfire.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Red Alert!
Picture
VCI Sniper
These enemies will come through the roof of the building in what will be the final room of the game. Just aim and shoot at them. They are no more dangerous than those two above.

FIRST APPEARANCE: Red Alert!
Picture
Cyborg
Bionic humans or just robots built to look like humans? Not sure but these cannot be killed by gunfire alone, there are other criteria to complete. One will need to be standing in water when Lara shoots it, because electricity and water don't mix. The other will need to be trapped in a room and then have Lara flood it with poisonous gas for it to die. These aren't spoilers; these are very helpful tips. 

FIRST APPEARANCE: Red Alert!
