Was anyone else dismayed to find some tombs contained enemies to fight, like wolves and Yaaxil?

I used to relax whenever I entered a tomb knowing there was nothing I might have to fight, only puzzles to solve inside. Shadow destroyed this safety blanket ?

Well . . . at least it's a bit different!  The Yaaxil reappear in the Tree of Life if you take Lara back there, or at least they did before the last Xbox update.  Thought I'd mention that in case you wanted to say, "Hello," again - but they're not any friendlier.  Really surprised me, that.  I stared at Lara for a good five seconds.  "That's odd," was all I could think.  Then a Yaaxil appeared and started clawing me.  Lara's "combat" crouch was totally unexpected, so much so that I didn't even realise that was what was going on!

Considering there are fewer combat sequences overall, it didn't bother me that much. I actually kind of liked how they changed up the formula a bit so things weren't so predictable. But I know what you mean. There was that one area in the Cenote, where you're trying to solve a certain puzzle while being attacked. Yikes! That made it VERY hard to concentrate. ?? 

Haha, agreed! The Cenote in general though - blimey, I don't think I've ever been so scared in a TR game! 

When I heard the first growl in Cenote I went "I now know why you got a shotgun in this tunnel" xD  Video games give a new toy? here is something that requires the new toy

 

And the Yggdrasil  Tree of Life Tomb...when I heard the growls.....AR came out xD.  A friend of mine and I joked "killing Golum's family reunion again"  LOL

Yes, wonder if Andy Serkis is getting royalties for the sound effects, should do as some are exactly what he did for Gollum!

As for shotguns I find them rubbish.  I have ploughed through almost exclusively with dodge-kills and auto-head-shots with the bow.  Probably making my own life hard!
