Learn the basics of Tomb Raider IV•V•VI Remastered, including controls, graphics options, and essential tips for minimizing damage and collecting all items.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To access the Main Menu, press the left side of the touchpad.
  2. 2
    Pressing the "Options" button toggles between Classic and Updated graphics.
  3. 3
    Simultaneously pressing down on both sticks (L3 + R3) pauses the game and enters Photo Mode, allowing you to move around an area to view terrain and locate enemies.
  4. 4
    PS5 button mappings for traditional "Tank" controls: = Action; = Jump; = Draw/Holster weapons; = Roll; = Look; and + Direction = Walk.
  5. 5
    Button combinations for special moves are outlined in the "Lara's House" portion of the game.
  6. 6
    Prioritize minimizing or avoiding damage to conserve Medi packs, especially near the end of the game.
  7. 7
    Utilize all 32 Save file slots to minimize backtracking.
  8. 8
    ALWAYS establish THREE Save files at the beginning of each level: one to remain unused for potential replays or missed items, and alternate saves between the other two.
  9. 9
    Collect EVERY pickup to achieve the "Tomb Cleaner" Trophy, requiring all 357 items in a single run. Always check your current total against the number shown on the level summary accessed via the compass.
  10. 10
    Achieve the "Leave Them Sucking Wind" Trophy by getting EVERY kill, requiring all 295 enemies in a single run. Keep track of your enemy count, as indicated in the guide (e.g., "Eliminate the **2 Panthers (18, 19)** from here").
  11. 11
    Break every breakaway tile to earn the "After Us, the Deluge" Trophy; a count will be provided for each encounter.
  12. 12
    At the end of each level, ALWAYS check your counts against the level summary screen. If they do not match, return to the beginning of the level using your initial Save file.
  13. 13
    Begin each level with full health; the objective is to reach the end alive.
  14. 14
    Shoot enemies from a safe, usually elevated, position to avoid damage. Most enemies cannot reach you on a block, allowing you to use pistols to conserve ammunition.
  15. 15
    Pay attention to enemy spawn locations and triggers, which will be detailed in the guide, to prepare for their arrival and fight them one at a time.
  16. 16
    Play with the sound on to hear auditory signals from enemies, alerting you to their presence or demise.
Tips
  • Take your time; if you sustain excessive damage, reload your game.
  • If a Trophy doesn't pop or an item is missed, the initial Save file at the beginning of the level can make it easier to go back.
  • If your pickup or kill count does not match the guide's indication, try to go back to your last Save and salvage the level.
  • Listen for enemy auditory signals to prepare for combat or confirm an area is clear.
