Tomb Raider II: Finish Home Sweet Home

AntMag.NET

This is the final level of Tomb Raider II, where Lara must defend her home from 16 intruders. Your only weapon is the shotgun, so close-quarters combat is essential. The level involves collecting 45 pickups and earning 3 trophies. While one trophy, 'Let's Dance,' requires luring all enemies into the ballroom and defeating them to music, it's recommended to tackle it on a subsequent playthrough due to the difficulty and a specific pickup location.

Walkthrough

1
Upon starting, immediately unlock the gun cabinet. Collect the ammo in the far right corner, then hop backward for more ammo. Finally, hop backward again to acquire the shotgun and additional ammo.
2
Focus on the immediate threats: club guys and dogs. Gunmen are less of an initial concern as they stay near the gun cabinet.
3
Position yourself on the back of the counter, slightly right of center. Engage the first club guy as he approaches.
4
The second club guy may follow. If he gets onto the counter, quickly move off and roll to face him. Defeat him and return to the counter.
5
If the dog arrives, try to defeat it from the counter. Save your game if you have no damage and both club guys are defeated.
6
Shoot out the glass to the right of the gun cabinet entryway to free a gunman. Retreat to the counter and wait for him to pass from right to left before engaging.
7
With 6 kills, you are safe until the next wave. Gather remaining ammo near the front door and save your game. This is a crucial save point.
8
To trigger the next wave (2 dogs, 2 club guys, 3 gunmen), exit the front door, perform a roll beyond the porch, and immediately run back to the gun cabinet.
9
From the safety of the gun cabinet, deal with the club guys and dogs. Gunmen will only attack if they see you.
10
Once the dogs and club guys are dealt with, eliminate the remaining gunmen using the same strategy as before.
11
To trigger the final enemies, shoot the dog outside and retreat to the foyer. Defeat the gunman and then the boss.
12
After the credits, the 'Starring One More Time' Trophy should appear.

Tips

New Game+ Difficulty: This level is challenging in New Game+ as there are no Medi Packs. Save frequently after defeating enemies with minimal damage. Prioritize avoiding damage.
Shotgun Effectiveness: The shotgun is most effective at close range. Get as close to enemies as possible without taking damage. Dogs require 2 blasts, gunmen 3, and club guys 4.
Crowd Control: Avoid being surrounded by enemies. Engage them one at a time.
Photo Mode: Use Photo Mode (L3 + R3) to scan the area and isolate enemies, making it easier to plan your approach.
'Let's Dance' Trophy: This trophy requires luring all 16 enemies into the ballroom, turning on music, and defeating them while it plays. It's recommended to attempt this on a separate playthrough after securing the other trophies and pickups, as it's difficult to manage with the pickup location and limited resources. Keep a save file from the beginning of the level for this purpose.
'Starring One More Time' Trophy: This trophy should automatically unlock after the credits roll and the Game Summary screen appears.
