Tomb Raider: Guide to Survival
Episode Three: Survival Combat
The first two episodes of Guide to Survival highlighted how an inexperienced Lara
Croft must use her intellect and whatever she can scavenge to survive the harsh
conditions of Yamatai. In this final episode we dig deep into Lara’s scrappy and raw
approach to combat.
The elements aren’t the only thing after Lara on the island – predators come in both
two and four-legged varieties. Lara’s unlocked skills and weapon upgrades culminate
in her combat style, executed in both close-quarters and frenzied firefights.
Outnumbered and outgunned, stealth is frequently Lara’s strongest advantage.
Approaching enemies undetected will allow her to pull of silent kills and keep
fellow Solarii in the dark. The environment will also provide frequent opportunities
for Lara to gain the upper hand. She must always be prepared to brawl up close,
however, aided by dodge and counter moves and improved equipment. With wits and
weapons combined, Lara is a smart and ultimately very dangerous fighter.
