Please keep in mind that I only have the PC version of these games, so I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of the console cheats. Unless otherwise indicated, all cheats are done during gameplay and are based on the default control configuration. If you have changed any controls, either try the cheats with the corresponding keys you've assigned, or revert to the defaults before entering cheats.
WARNING: For TR3 on all systems, do not use the trick of beating the game and then starting a new game to get all weapons and ammo. This will work, but it can result in a bug in which some or all of the middle locations (Nevada, South Pacific and London) are skipped. As far as I know, the codes can be used effectively in the Lost Artifact sequel.
Using the level skip cheat can also lead to situations where you are missing necessary items in later levels, so you will not be able to finish the game without further cheating. Use the codes at your own risk.
PC & Macintosh Level Skip: Draw PISTOLS.* Walk one step back, one step forward, crouch, release crouch, turn around three times and immediately jump forward.
PC & Macintosh All Weapons & Ammo: Draw PISTOLS.* Walk one step back, one step forward, crouch, release crouch, turn around three times in either direction and immediately back flip. This cheat also provides medipaks.
*Using weapons other than the pistols will cause Lara to explode.
Note to Macintosh Users: If you're using the numeric keypad controls and are having trouble with these cheats, try doing them with the regular arrow keys.
PC Flight Patch - This unofficial patch allows Lara to fly in TR2, 3 and 4. Tombraiders.net does not support this patch. Use it at your own risk. (Download)
PC & Mac Savegame Files: An alternative to cheat codes is to download a save file from just beyond the spot where you're stuck.
PC Savegame and Position Editors - Edit your save files to add weapons, items, health, change Lara's status (air, on fire), or reposition her anywhere in a level. For details, see the Savegame Editors page.
