Master Lara Croft's acrobatic arsenal in Tomb Raider: Legend! Learn advanced combos like the Front Tuck, Handspring, and Cartwheel to navigate treacherous environments and defeat enemies.
Alright, let's get you up to speed on how to really move like Lara Croft in Tomb Raider: Legend. This isn't just about running and jumping; there's a whole suite of advanced moves and combos that can make navigating tricky spots and looking stylish a lot easier. We'll break down some of the cooler, less obvious techniques.
Moves:
- Front Tuck: Double-tap the jump button. It gives you a little extra distance on your jumps.
- Front Tuck Combo (Flip with Legs Tucked - Flip with No Arms): Tap the jump button four times. Looks pretty slick.
- Front Tuck Combo (Flip with Legs Tucked - Flip with No Arms x2): Tap the jump button six times. This one looks even cooler, adding a Front Layout to the sequence.
- Front Tuck Combo (Flip with Legs Tucked - Flip with No Arms x2 - Spinning Somersault): Tap the jump button repeatedly. This string of moves includes a Front Tuck, Front Layout, and a Front Twisting Layout. It looks wicked!
- Roll: While running forward, hit the roll button. This is super useful when you need to cover a bit of ground very quickly, like dodging an incoming attack or getting past a hazard.
- Roll Combo (Roll - Handspring): Tap the roll button three times in quick succession while running forward. This lets you cover more ground faster than a simple roll.
- Roll Combo (Roll - Handspring - Cartwheel): While running, tap the roll key twice. Then, while in the handspring, press backwards and the roll button again. Lara will perform a roll, then a handspring, and finally a cartwheel, ending up facing the opposite direction.
- Roll Combo (Roll - Handspring - Cartwheel - Handstand Somersault x2 - Spinning Somersault): Perform the previous combo, but keep the inputs going. Lara will then do two handstand somersaults and a spinning somersault, finishing facing the other way.
- Roll Combo (Roll - Handspring - Slow Spinning Somersault): Tap the roll button while moving to start a roll, then tap it again for a handspring. In the middle of the handspring, press backwards and the jump button. Lara will do a roll, a handspring, and then a single spinning somersault, ending up facing the other direction.
Tips:
- Don't be afraid to experiment with mixing combo elements. The guide mentions you can often intermix moves to keep combos going indefinitely, though it humorously questions why anyone would try!
