Basics

Lara Croft's goal is to explore each new level, solving puzzles, shooting bad guys, and finally locating the whereabouts of lost treasure. You can play The Last Revelation either with the keyboard or a game pad. We'll discuss the keyboard functions here. All controls can be changed using the option in the pause screen (get there by pressing "p" at any time during the game.

Movement

Move Lara around the game world using the four arrow keys. Up will run her forward, back will make her hop back, and left and right will either pivot her if she's standing still, or veer left or right while running. To make Lara walk (and consequently stop before she falls off any ledges), hold the "shift" key while moving. Holding the shift key while pressing left or right will also make Lara sidestep.

Interaction

The "ctrl" key is Lara's action button, and will accomplish most feats in the game. Hold the action button while running toward a ledge and Lara will pull herself up. Hold it while jumping and Lara will grab any ledges she can reach as she falls. Press the action button around any switches you find to activate them, as well as pick up any items Lara is standing near.

Dashing and Jumping

Press the "alt" key to make Lara jump. Lara can jump in all four directions. Press and hold the "." key while running to make Lara dash for a short while. While dashing, pressing the jump button will make Lara perform a diving roll, which is great for getting through low openings or closing doors.

In-game Help

The first level of The Last Revelation will teach you and Lara how to do most moves, as well as move combinations. Pressing "p" and checking the control screen will also show you what each button does on the keyboard.

Tip: Senet

At one point you'll play a game of "Senet". This is a bit like Parcheesi in that you and your opponent are moving around a board, and if one player's piece moves into the space occupied by another player's piece, the new piece bumps the old piece back to the beginning. The rules are a bit complex, but you'll get a plate with an explanation on it before you're required to play. Check it in the Inventory screen.

Tip: A Big Mess

Keep your eyes peeled -- nearly every level will require you to find some sort of key item in one place and put it in a receptacle someplace else. Golden skulls, pieces of the Eye of Horus, hourglasses…those tomb-builders sure left a lot of junk lying around for adventurers to clean up, didn't they?
