Unlock the final 5 Trophies in Tomb Raider II, including 'The End Doesn't Justify the Means' by protecting Monks.
Walkthrough:
- Load the Save file at the beginning of Level 12.
- Follow the Level 12 guide, but with three exceptions: use any weapons, skip Secrets, and follow specific Trophy Note directions when linked.
- Save before any encounter with human enemies and reload if battles end unfavorably.
- Trophy #62 -- The End Doesn't Justify the Means: Play through Level 12 without killing a Monk or allowing one to be killed by an enemy.
- Note 1: Ensure 3 Monks survive a 3 Monks vs. 2 mercs battle.
- Note 2: Protect 2 Monks in a central area against 1 merc. Enter the room, exit quickly, and target the merc. Reload if necessary.
- Note 3: Wait for Monks to leave a room, then use 2 grenades on the climbing merc.
- Note 4: Save here. A merc will fight a Monk. If the Monk dies, reload this save. Create a new Save file for this section.
- Note 5: As soon as you reach the top of a ladder, use the M16 to quickly eliminate the gunman emerging from the room ahead and to the left. The Monk should be far enough away to target the gunman easily.
- Note 6: Wait until the Monk is in the outer room before drawing your grenade launcher. Enter the inner room, rotate left, and use 2 grenades on the gunman.
- Note 7: Verify the gunman is down and the Monk is alive. If not, reload the Save file from Note 4.
- Note 8: This battle is pivotal. Save here and create a new Save file. Run forward until the cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) shows mercs entering, then roll and try to end the battle quickly to preserve Monk health for future fights. The M16 is recommended. Keep retrying until a good outcome is achieved.
- Note 9: Equip the M16 and Save. Hop backwards down the stairs to the left. When the gunman appears, take him out quickly. Run up the stairs, turn right, and target the other merc before the Monks interfere. Ensure both Monks survive.
- Note 10: Equip Uzis. Run through the corner room, roll into the next room, and dash into the hall. Target any mercs in front of you or to the right towards the pool. Aim to eliminate one gunman quickly, leaving the other to the Monks.
- New Game+ Mode Trophy: Finish the game in New Game+ Mode.
- Under 6 Hours Trophy: Complete the game in under 6 hours.
- Always save before encounters with human enemies.
- Reload and retry any battles that do not end favorably to ensure Monk survival.
- Use the M16 for its effectiveness in quick eliminations.
- Create separate Save files for critical sections to avoid overwriting progress.
