Ah... Southern Mexico. Probably the longest level in the game, and certainly with the most treasures to discover. Definitely have to take this one level by level so I don't do something stupid and have to start over completely. Starting with The Unnamed Days, we find Lara in a dark, dense, rainy jungle in the middle of Southern Mexico. Lovely scenery reminiscent to Thailand in some instances will accompany you on your ventures through the dark ruins of Mexico. In my opinion, I think the worse part of this level is definitely the panthers, as they are much tougher than the tigers from Thailand and are much more overpowering in strength and in numbers. And now on to my screens. ;----------------------------------------------------------------------; Some nice, dense, jungle scenery for you ;----------------------------------------------------------------------; A Close call on the way into the ruins of Xibalba ;----------------------------------------------------------------------; Coming up, is Xibalba that is possibly the longest level in the whole game, as well as the most challenging... Even more challenging then the last to levels in the Arctic Sea Levels, Yggdrasil and Out of Time. Oh well... I'm calling it quits for the day and will continue tomorrow after school... I need a break from the constant exploration of Underworlds...

Nice Screens and Commentary, Shrensh! And, now for my brief report on Protected by the Dead. I've always adored this brief level. The unknown truth of what lies beneath the crypt in Croft Manor, the dark atmosphere of the chapel underneath, and not to mention the countless bats and spiders that we are all so fond of. Up to this point, I have found every treasure, except one that I happened to miss in Thailand, as well as collecting all three relics that are available up to this level. I also experienced a glitch where the cutscene where the manor explodes after coming from the ruins, and everything from the prologue I did was still there, which did save some time... Anyway... On to the screens. ;----------------------------------------------------------------; Some Nice Views that Occur throughout the level I believe I've said this before, but if Crystal spent half as much time on the storyline as they did on their scenery, Tomb Raider would be up to the standard that so many fans expect, and where it should've been for six-eight years since Crystal Dynamics even took over and began work on Legend. ;----------------------------------------------------------------; "Drop it Zip, or I'll Drop You..." ;----------------------------------------------------------------; Lara and the Infamous Doppelganger ;----------------------------------------------------------------; "I need Thor's Belt to Get His Hammer, and I Need the Hammer, to Kill A God..." ;----------------------------------------------------------------; Through all of the ups and downs that this game brings to those who play it, I think all fans can agree that this is is the most memorable level in the game, as well as a major turning point. As well as the fact that we can feel saddened by seing Croft Manor in such a terrible condition as seen in this level. Oh well, on that note... Next Stop, Southern Mexico and Xibalba. ;----------------------------------------------------------------; P.S. To those who actually read and follow my updates, I'm sorry that I have a lot to say and comment on when it comes to this game, and I am very passionate about my Tomb Raider, so I try my best to not leave out a single detail. Anyway, thanks for reading, and back to the game for me.

Good Job on finding all the treasures and relics up to this point. I don't know how, but I missed one treasure in Thailand... Excellent Screens as well. I have always been fond of the scenery in the Thailand Levels. My Favorite, Second to Jan Mayan Island.

Ugh. I am so relieved to be out of Thailand. One of the most buggy areas in the game in my opinion, but it does have some beautiful scenery so I guess it's not a complete loss. Oh well... I found only: 29/30 Treasures and 1 Relic, so it was a relatively successful playthrough. Now for some Screens: ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Shiva and Kali ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Some Nice Views ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Showcasing Lara's Beauty ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Showing Lara's More Angry Side Lara: Zip, Allister, After spending almost half an hour trying to swing to the opposite side of a water filled chamber from a grapple ring, I need a break from this adventure. I'm going to Paris for a vacation... ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Definitely Not a Natural Carving in The Stone ;-----------------------------------------------------------; Oh well... After so long in Thailand, it'll be a nice refresher to be in Croft Manor/Crypt... Next Stop... Protected by the Dead

Just got to Bhogovati. I'm taking Thailand Level by Level because it is the hardest area for me everytime. There's something different that screws me up everytime. So here's my progress. ;------------------------------------------------------------; If I remember correctly, I have discovered all of the treasures up to the point of Bhogovati. So, progress is good. I also got some pretty nice screens in the process. ;------------------------------------------------------------; Now, isn't this why we play Tomb Raider. For some nice scenery to accompany us on our adventures? Hey, maybe if Crystal focused on story and gameplay as much as their sceneries, we might get back to the way Tomb Raider should be... ;------------------------------------------------------------; Random Stop Frame Animation ;------------------------------------------------------------; I'm loving playing through this game again, and noticing so many things I hadn't the first ten times I played it. Oh well... Next Stop, Bhogovati.

Just finished the Mediterranean Sea Levels. I forgot how much I loved this game. It has so many high points, but it also has it's glitches. I actually experienced one on Amanda's Ship in the Mediterranean. I was fighting a group of baddies, and when I finished, Lara was still holding one of her pistols, even though she had already holsted her good friends. This persisted until the end of the level. She even ran and climbed with this interesting glitch. I don't know if anyone has discovered this glitch, but it is quite interesting. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------; Anyway... Moving on, I found this picture on Lara's boat quite intriguing as I've never noticed it before. If I had to assume, I would guess that it is her Grandfather, Richard James Croft I. What do you think? ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------; I had already been playing before I started this playthrough, so I already had 23 out of 26 treasures from the Mediterranean, and I don't know how to reset my game with no treasures without having to uninstall and re-install it. So, I ended up with all 26 treasures and the 1 relic in the Mediterranean Sea Levels. Next Stop... Coastal Thailand Levels. ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------; I'll be moving on soon after a brief break... Don't want to rush through the game.

Hello. New on the forum here, but I am definitely not new to Tomb Raider. I am known as Tombraiderfreak on other forums, and as J_CHarMeD_FreAk on Twitter for those who are on Twitter. I'm going to be starting soon. I always loved Underworld.
