This game includes numerous bonuses, from outfits for Lara to pistol upgrades to cheat codes. You can peruse the bonuses you've unlocked by selecting Extras in the main menu. Below is a fairly comprehensive list of extra content and how to obtain it. As always, I welcome corrections and additions.

REWARDS
Each level contains a number of bronze, silver and gold rewards (formerly known as "secrets"). These look like shiny statuettes with a different design for each level (e.g., crucifixes in England, plasma spheres in Kazakhstan, Buddhist prayer wheels in Nepal). Lara's PDA shows the number of each type of reward in a level, along with how many you have found so far. Press Tab (PC), Select (PS2) or Back (Xbox) to activate the PDA. The tables below give details on what various rewards unlock.
To pick up a reward, stand over it and press Interact. Most bronze rewards can also be retrieved from a distance using the magnetic grapple.
REPLAYING LEVELS
It is not necessary to find all rewards in a level before moving on. If you miss some, you can replay any completed level to find them. From the main menu, load your most recent save file. Then select Load/Save > Replay Level. Replayed levels include the same enemies, puzzles, hazards, etc., but only the rewards you have not yet picked up (except in the Nintendo DS version, where you can pick up the same rewards each time you replay a level). When you complete the level again, be sure to save your progress so the new rewards are counted. (I know console players could do this before, but it's a first for the PC. Woot!)
TIME TRIALS
After completing a level, Time Trial mode for that level is unlocked. To replay a level in this mode, first load your most recent save file from the main menu. Then select Load/Save > Replay Level. Under difficulty level, choose Time Trial. The goal in Time Trial is to complete the level before the timer at the bottom of the screen runs out. Beating levels in Time Trial mode unlocks various cheat codes and an outfit (see below).
NOTE: My Time Trial Tips page includes a number of strategies for achieving faster time trials. I encourage players to send me their suggestions, both general time-savers and specific shortcuts for each level.
CINEMATICS
After completing a level, all cinematics (i.e., cut scenes) up to that point are unlocked. You can replay them by choosing Extras > Cinematics from the main menu.
PISTOL UPGRADES
There are 3 pistol upgrades available in the game. Each is unlocked by finding a percentage of the total bronze and silver rewards in the game. It doesn't matter which level you're playing, as soon as you reach the required number of rewards, the pistol upgrade will be applied. Lara's PDA shows your progress toward the next upgrade.
Increased Magazine Size (pistols hold 40 rounds) |
25% of bronze and 25% of silver |
Increased Accuracy (accurate at greater distance) |
50% of bronze and 50% of silver |
Increased Damage |
75% of bronze and 75% of silver |
OUTFITS
From the main menu, choose Extras > Outfits to view all the clothes you've unlocked for Lara. Once you have unlocked an outfit, you can try it on by going to the bedroom in Croft Manor (also reached through the main menu). Lara's closet will look familiar to anyone who's played The Sims. And check out the vast array of stretchy, aqua tops on the hangers in the closet. ;) Just walk in and follow the on-screen instructions to change outfits.
You can't choose Lara's outfit when starting a level for the first time, but you can change costumes before replaying a level. To do this, choose Load/Save from the main menu. Then select Replay Level and choose the level you want from the list on the left side of the screen. Highlight the Outfits option, then select the outfit you want from the list below. Highlight Difficulty Level, then select the level you prefer. Finally, select Continue to start the game.
See here for images of all the unlockable outfits. The table below tells how to unlock each one. Info on unlocking the special PSP-exclusive outfits can be found here.
Custom Outfits/Skins & Modding: In addition to the 30+ official costumes you can unlock while playing the game, players can also download and create their own custom outfits using various texture editing tools. I don't cover modding on this site, but Tomb Raider HUB and tombraiderforums.com are good places to start if you're interested.

Again, there are also six special outfits that can be unlocked in the PSP game only. Check out this page on PSP Exclusive Unlockables for details.
CHARACTER PROFILES
Finding bronze rewards throughout the game unlocks short profiles for Lara and her friends and her enemies who appear in the game. These can be accessed through the Extras menu. Here's how to unlock each one:
|
|
**The 'official' guides state 90% bronze for Alister and 100% bronze for the Entity, but several players have reported
unlocking these models sooner. I'm not sure if the published info is wrong or if different versions of the game vary.
LOCATION CONCEPTS
Location concept art can also be accessed through the Extras menu. To unlock the collection of sketches for each level, find all the bronze rewards for that level.
OBJECT MODELS
These are designers' renderings of creatures, objects and artifacts in the game. As with the location concept art, they are found in the Extras menu. Object models are unlocked by finding silver rewards. The more silver rewards you find in each level, the more individual object models are unlocked. For Bolivia Redux, which has no rewards, all models are unlocked after completing the level.
CHEAT CODES
Cheat codes can only be unlocked by beating the game. (Yes, I realize this makes no sense. Sorry.) After completing the Bolivia Redux level, the Cheat Codes sub-menu is accessible by selecting Extras > Special > Cheat Codes from the main menu.
You must then unlock each individual code by completing levels in Time Trial. Finally, to activate the code, press the keys indicated during game play. To de-activate the code, press the same keys again.
The Cheat Codes section of this site includes a list of all codes and how to unlock them.
PC players are welcome to download a savegame file with all the codes unlocked. Instructions for downloading and installing Legend saves are here. PlayStation and Xbox saves are available at GameFAQs.com.
SPECIAL
Along with the Cheat Codes, completing the game also unlocks the Unfortunate Mishaps video, a painful yet darkly humorous look at all the ways Lara can come to grief during the game's interactive cut scenes. Access this from the main menu by choosing Extras > Special > Unfortunate Mishaps. (NOTE: The PSP and GameCube versions do not include this video, but you can watch it here on YouTube.)
