SWIMMING UNDERWATER
If Lara finds a deep pool of water, she can jump in and swim around. Lara can hold her breath for about one minute; if she is still underwater after that she'll drown.
•
Pressing Up, Down, Left or Right makes Lara rotate in that direction.
•
Pressing Jump Button makes Lara swim.
•
Lara can pull levers and pick up objects underwater. Position Lara as close as you can and press Action Button.
SWIMMING ON THE SURFACE
•
Left and Right will rotate her.
•
Up and Down make her swim in those directions.
•
You can also use the side step actions (R1) to swim left or right when on the surface of the water.
•
Pressing Jump Button will make Lara dive under the surface again.
•
Pressing the Up Directional button and Action Button when Lara is close to an edge will make her climb out.
WADING IN SHALLOW WATER
Lara won't swim in waist deep water; instead she wades. The controls are basically the same as when she is on dry land, except it is slower going and she can only jump on the spot, not in a direction.
EXTREME DEPTH SUIT
The EDS suit is used for diving and exploring the seabed at depths where conventional divers cannot reach. The suit has its own propulsion units and is also equipped with torpedo decoys.
If a torpedo is fired at you, launch a decoy and swim away. If you have successfully deployed the decoy, the torpedo should be attracted to it, enabling Lara to fight another day. The suit is controlled in the same way as conventional swimming.
Carefully avoid the rock faces at the seabed, as colliding with them will stress Lara, making her breathe heavier and use her air quicker!
ATTACKING
DRAWING AND FIRING WEAPONS
Pressing the Draw Button will arm Lara with her currently selected weapon. Pressing the Action Button will fire the weapon.
TARGETING
There are now two targeting modes, Automatic and Manual. Both modes now allow you to switch lock-on from one enemy to another. To switch target, tap the Look (L1) Button. The targeting mode can be set in the Game Setting Options found on the Pause Menu screen.
AUTO LOCK-ON
Press Draw Button and Lara will draw her guns. If she sees a potential target she will lock onto it. If there are multiple enemies, Lara can change target by tapping Look (L1) Button. Press Action Button to shoot at the selected target. To switch to another enemy, just tap Look (L1) Button again.
If Lara loses sight of the enemy, the lock-on is broken.
MANUAL LOCK-ON
Similar to Auto targeting, but Lara will only lock-on an initial enemy when you tap Look (L1) Button once. Lara will now target on the selected enemy; you may then cycle through alternative enemies as above.
Whilst Lara has her guns drawn, she can no longer do anything that requires the use of her hands.
OTHER ACTIONS
VAULTING
If Lara is faced with an obstacle that she can climb over, pressing Up and Action Button will make her vault onto it.
CLIMBING
Some walls are climbable. If Lara comes across such a surface, pressing Up and Action Button will make her jump up (if there is room) and catch handholds on the wall. She will only hang on whilst Action Button is held down.
She can then be made to climb up, down, left and right by pressing the Directional buttons. Lara can also climb around the edges of some surfaces. Pressing Jump Button will make Lara jump backwards away from the wall.
When Lara arrives at the top of the ladder, she may be faced with a small opening. Pressing Crawl (L2) Button will make Lara duck, and pressing Up on the Directional buttons will make Lara Crawl into the gap if she will fit. Don't forget to keep Action Button held down until Lara is safely inside the crawl space.
CLIMBING POLES
Lara will come across certain poles that she can climb. Either walk up to the pole, press and hold Action Button, or run, jump and grab the pole. You must keep the Action Button pressed or Lara will let go.
Whilst on the pole, press Up and Down Directional buttons to make Lara climb up and down, Right or Left to make her rotate around the pole, and Jump Button to back-flip off.
CLIMBING ROPES
Lara grabs a hold of ropes, rotates, climbs up and down and jumps off the same way as poles.
To make the rope swing from side to side, use the Sprint (R2) Button. Press Jump Button to make Lara jump forwards off the rope.
DUCK AND CRAWL
Lara can Duck by pressing the Crawl (L2) Button and Crawl by keeping that Button pressed whilst using the Directional buttons to move her as you wish.
Pressing Jump Button whilst crouched at the exit of a crawl space will make Lara forward flip.
GRABBING HOLD
If Lara is near to a ledge while she is jumping, pressing and holding Action Button will allow her to grab the ledge in front of her and hang there. If a wall is climbable, Lara can catch onto it anywhere (not just ledges).
Press Left or Right, and Lara will shimmy sideways and even around corners of certain surfaces. Pressing Up will make Lara climb up to the level above. Let go of Action Button and Lara will drop.
