Hats off to anyone who did this back in the day without a guide

[@jaycornish5916]

These levels used to take months haha

[@ToolsAreToys]

Impossible.

@@ToolsAreToys I played all TR games without guide. The biggest enjoyment of it was to figure out your way forward like an adventure game. A guide would have made these games redundant for me.

[@Navictor2]

Me, as a teenager

[@Snakecrossing]

Thanks for the walkthrough. I would never have figured the level without some help. Lots of "jump/slide towards nothing and hope for the best" and "press this button so something happens on the other side of the level"

[@cardenasr.2898]

As a kid I was always baffled by the amount of switches or buttons that do something at the other side of the level

[@unidan82]

The remaster of this level is STUNNING - plus I can actually see!

[@Jordyssey]

After the amazing levels in India and South Pacific, London was such a let down. At least in the other levels you have some sense of what you're doing. London is just random exploring until you do something, then do another thing, then trying to see if there is a pattern to make sense of what are you doing or where you're going. Still my favourite Tomb Raider

[@rbguerreiro2466]

yes, London was the worst section of the game by far

[@christophercardarelli1328]

I remembered this level took me nearly two weeks until i beat it. With me only getting one secret. It baffle my mind when I see speedrun of this level that someone beat this level in nearly a few seconds. How? By close to impossible jump. I completely forgot how close the beginning of this level is to the end of this level as well. 😱 The amount of death this level alone I have accumulated is high number. Still a beautiful and challenging level.

[@clairestanfield-ui1fg]

I remember playing this level about 3 years ago and having a hard time with it. The way i beat the level was by skipping a part of the level by somehow jumping over the slide to the right where you start the level 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I'm playing it again on my Ps3 ( i don't have the remaster) and for the life of me i can not do that glitch again, i guess this video will help. 😁😁

[@shiona]

I apparently skipped half the level by accident. Ran the path starting from 15:40. The fire that would be down there at 17:00 wont light Lara if you just drop to the side.

[@victorianmadonna]

That's how I do it too 😂🤣

[@frankbeans5921]

Yeh these old Tomb Raider games are full of exploits and glitches. That was half the fun of roaming around trying to find different ways to finish the level.

[@erikis22]

I skipped most of this level by accident. I was randomly jumping around the first area where you start and I crossed over the crane and left the level. Only after watching the walkthrough I realized I missed so much.

[@ninjapurpura1]

Same

[@renciapolous]

Yes, the same happened to me

[@Stogiewise]

lol i jumped at the hole in the ground at 24:55 at the bottom into the small water path and I got stuck because I thought you were meant to jump there, not fill the rest of the tank. lucky I had a previous save

[@arizvincentsumagui486]

Ow, Bad for me, I dont have the previous save

[@romans11six2]

Secret 2 is not good game design! How can you see, that you can climb to the right??

[@LoveDoctorNL]

It was so random, no ledge or anything

[@slakyv4460]

From the original trilogy this outfit is my favorite

[@TheManubarcafan]

yes..same here..it was and will be the best

[@ponemecky]

Pacific island. ;)

[@idr121]

I like Nevada more but this is dope too.

[@9skullDaddy]

Thank you for this I would have never figured this out!! thank you so much!!!

[@FatfighterXD1]

Tomb raider 3 is the most confusing one. I swear only the devs knew how to complete the game. Anyone else would have to buy one of those guides. I much preferred 1 and 2 they weren't pointlessly confusing

[@JudgeMad]

mfw i played through this game when i was 7 years old, with no internet access, walkthroughs and memory cards... London levels were absolute hell for me though... I remember these being absolute horror to find my way through.

[@Jordyssey]

It definitely feels overwhelming, especially when I was playing this game as a kid back in the 90s. India, South Pacific and Nevada wasn't that confusing to be honest. Just endless. (ok maybe Security comb was a bit messy). But London is not done very well to be honest.

[@-soaponarope-1261]

Man London was TOUGH. Watching this bought back painful memories 😂

[@97sveryown63]

Not gonna lie😂

[@unidan82]

I love the london levels! So good

[@dorkbrandon4422]

After watching alot of TR3 vids recently it seems that London was commonly hated by a lot of players , Personally they were my favourite

[@rederickfroders1978]

Respect to you for being able to bare these levels at all. I liked the aesthetic of Thames Wharf, but otherwise I skip these levels with pride.

[@spacemarine8289]

Another mission impossible level, thanks.

[@Seraephim]

I got myself stuck in this level on the remastered version. In the room with the monkey bars, with the water drained, I made the impossible jump from the balcony into the water below... Successfully getting myself stuck. Good thing I had multiple saves 😂😂

[@Cryptic_Soldier]

I'm currently playing this level right now on the remaster and I did the same exact thing. I'm just going to use the skip level cheat.

[@theessexred]

I came to walkthrough for this exact reason. Completely missed the monkey bars and assumed it was that stupid jump into the tiny square of water and now I’m stuck. So I guess I need to skip the level or start again?

[@cukkucake]

@@theessexredgot stuck in the water area as well thinking it was just a difficult route and not the complete wrong one lol. But any point in a level if you die you can start at the beginning of it if you scroll to the right on the game over screen

[@jamesmay1164]

Nothing about this game is intuitive. You just run around endlessly until you firgure it out. No idea how people did this without guides, I remember the old playstation magazines with game guides in. Wouldnt have done it without them as I didn't have thta kind of patience to figure it out the hard way

[@MTiger86]

That crow sounded like a pirate...

[@juanatenco453]

I tought the second level was BS, how wrong I was, this level is so much worse by far.

[@Takejiro24]

19:19 Really?! You have to swim through the fans?! Everytime I so much as grazed them, they killed me! How was that supposed to be figured out?

[@gjk2012]

Same here. I'm on my Nintendo Switch and it seems the blades don't even slow down when you get near them like in the video. I've seen other TR3 remastered guides and the blades slow down for them as well. TR3 is terrible in any case.

[@gjk2012]

I found out you have to flip the switch again. Yep this game is really bad!

[@Takejiro24]

@@gjk2012 I'm playing on the Switch too and yeah, London is so far my most hated section in this game. Doesn't help that everything is so dark and the flares last far shorter than in TR2.

[@frenzyglee666]

24:21 i have door closed, how to open theese, please?

[@peger]

i remember that. This level was completely a$$. Never could figure it when i was kid and we always had to use cheats to skip it

[@shredheadterminal]

Whoever designed this level hated London

[@BlastoiseToiseGabriel]

I refuse to go to the water compartment section. I just catch the 5 secrets without even bothering to pass through 2/3 of this level. Too tedious. In some sort of way, TR3 designers made it possible for us to go through some levels using different paths. Maybe it was a mistake for this level? Maybe not? The thing is, I enjoy "my" Thames Wharf walkthrough much better than the "proper/correct walkthrough"

[@Drewskiie]

You can skip 90% of this level in the beginning by jumping to the barb wires on the roof, grab the ledge 1st then bam. Lmao

[@TheTimeProphet]

I am trying to jump over that first roof and I can't manage it LOL.

[@lucacrevatin1100]

I think the Level Designers back then were having some divorce going on that they built extremely difficult levels just to piss people off 😂😂😂

[@mecagoensanpitopato]

I skipped almost the entire level too by doing it in reverse

@@Forge_595 Apparently the propeller won't kill you if you pull the level despite it still spinning. I had to look for this video because I was stuck on that part. Dumb level design indeed.

[@victorianmadonna]

Yeah, I feel TR3 was thrown together. Some of the levels I like, but most of them are terrible. I feel Core Design just wanted to do 1 & 2 and be done with it.

[@cardenasr.2898]

@@victorianmadonna some are alright like the Nevada and South Pacific levels, while London levels are atrocious. It's like half the levels on this game are good and the other half is not. TR2 seems to have a more uniform level quality.

@@cardenasr.2898 i feel you. Never beat certain levels when i was young. I think i used lvl skip to go to other lvls that were actually good. Can't really remember. I think i finished this lvl here now for the first time in my life. Looked nothing up but took me a whole hour :D
