Tomb Raider: Anniversary Guides
Peru and Greece route notes: cogs, the T. rex, gate switches, four keys, the arena, Midas and the cistern.
How to use this section
Begin with Mountain Caves, then follow Peru and Greece in order. These pages explain the principal obstacles rather than claiming every artifact or relic. Use the adrenaline-dodge guide before a difficult encounter.
Start with Mountain Caves or go straight to the Lost Valley cog puzzle.
Before following a route
Check the game name, room and platform. Diagrams show objective order, not physical distances. Keep optional collectible detours separate from the main route.
