How it plays
How does Tomb Raider: The Prophecy play?
Lara explores isometric ruins, forests, temples, and other hazardous locations. The main objectives are to find artifacts, activate mechanisms, solve environmental puzzles, defeat enemies, and reach the exit of each area.
Players move through structured levels, jump across gaps, climb or traverse obstacles, collect items, and use firearms against hostile creatures and human opponents. The adventure is primarily single-player and progresses linearly through its story, with new locations and encounters replacing the traditional large, open-ended level design of the console games.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Tomb Raider: The Prophecy?
Search each area carefully before leaving. Important switches, keys, ammunition, and health items are often placed away from the most direct route.
Use distance and positioning during combat instead of standing in front of enemies. Conserve ammunition for stronger opponents, and learn the timing of jumps before committing to longer gaps.
When a route seems blocked, look for a switch, movable object, or alternate path rather than repeatedly attacking the obstacle.
