Tomb Raider

Across Greece you have the chance to explore 22 tombs. Each tomb contains an ancient stele. Every stele you discover and read grants you an extra ability point to spend, boosting your combat prowess.

Tombs are dark places, so pull out your torch upon entering. Snakes infest many tombs and often are difficult to see. Be on the lookout for coiled reptiles and watch out for their quick forward lunge, which deals a decent amount of damage. The torch can easily kill the snakes in a single hit, or you can throw the torch at them to catch them on fire.

Other tombs guard against would-be grave robbers with spike traps. When you trigger a spike trap, you have a few seconds to dodge-roll out of the way or to run quickly past to safety. Move too slowly and you’ll find yourself taking some hefty damage.

While the path through a tomb is usually fairly straightforward, take the time to thoroughly explore every nook and cranny. For example, sometimes an innocuous item, like a pot or set of shelves, may be hiding the entrance to a treasure-filled chamber or even another pathway through the tomb.

Reveal secret passages by smashing through weakened walls. Wooden walls can be broken through with the torch. In other tombs, you may notice a crack in the wall and hear the wind whistling through it. Smash these to gain entrance.

While discovering the ancient stele is a tomb’s main prize, they also always contain at least one epic chest, and oftentimes more, so they are well worth your time to explore.
