Many Tomb Raider enthusiasts love the thrill of exploring ancient tombs and temples for riches. However, Lara Croft's residence has its allure, often serving as a tutorial level in the series.

Although Croft Manor may not have been prominently featured recently, fans of the earlier games cherish the memories of delving into this legendary setting, brimming with enigmatic allusions and hidden gems that require cunning to unveil.

5 Assault Course Fun

Engage in Thrilling Challenges

Located at the mansion's rear, the assault course is a staple in Tomb Raider 2 and 3, offering not just a tutorial but also an entertaining experience. Players can navigate strategically placed blocks that keep them within the map's borders, allowing for vertical exploration, including accessing the roof for a unique perspective. Additionally, using the roof access can lead to discovering a hidden treasure room, and it's amusing to see Lara's butler navigate this course in comical ways.

4 Treasure Room

Embark on a Treasure Hunt

For those avoiding the rooftop antics, a traditional path to the hidden treasure room starts at the assault course's entrance. By following a specific route through a maze and a timed challenge, players can access a chamber filled with treasures acquired by Lara in her adventures.

3 Swimming Pool Lever

Discover Hidden Depths

The mansion's swimming pool, a common feature, holds a secret. After a brief swim in Tomb Raider Legend, players can uncover a hidden room by pulling a lever near two statues. Manipulating objects within this room reveals a concealed artifact, adding an element of surprise to the familiar pool setting.

2 Racetrack Glitch

Master Clever Techniques

In Tomb Raider 3, players face a quadbike challenge on a racetrack, typically accessed later in the game. However, an early arrival is possible using a corner glitch, allowing skillful players to bypass obstacles and speed up their progress significantly.

By leveraging the environment and a clever maneuver, players can exploit the game's mechanics to reach inaccessible areas sooner, showcasing the ingenuity of the gaming community.

1 Butler In The Freezer

Playful Pranks

The loyal butler's persistent presence in Lara's mansion can be amusingly evaded by trapping him in the freezer, showcasing a playful side of the game beyond its serious quests. Although there are no rewards for this mischievous act, it adds a touch of humor to players' interactions within the game.
