Tomb Raider Anniversary Forum

Hey all, this is my first post. I have run into some trouble on the first Egypt level while using the trainer. No matter how many times I've played it I can't find one of the artifacts. I've followed the visual walkthrough and I can't seem to find it. I suppose part of the problem was that I was running both the trainer +9 and the flying trainer at the same time, which I suspect may have fouled up the coding of the game somehow. When I check the level statistics, it still shows 2/3 artifacts found, and when I check the locations without using the trainers, I am still unable to find it. Is there any way to either edit the savefile or do anything short of creating another profile and playing through the entirety of the game legit?

The artifacts don't show up because you've taken them once already. It's not a bug, it's a "feature" (so they say  ). The only thing you can do to find those artifacts again is to create another profile, although I know that's bad news for you  Sorry, but I don't know of the existence of any savegame editor. It would be really useful if there was one!.

Hi, thanks for the reply, but I fixed the problem on my end. To clarify, I knew that artifacts disappeared after you collect them. The problem was that I was following a text-only artifact FAQ which wasn't all that clear and I assumed that since I couldn't locate an artifact in a specified part of the level that I had somehow corrupted the game by running both trainers at the same time. Anyway, after some more careful exploration of the area I was able to find the missing artifact and get my 100% completion.

As a side note, I really enjoyed the game, I had previously played TR: Legend, which made purchasing TR: A pretty much a no-brainer. I do have one slight criticism of the game though, and that was the excessive amount of death traps on the second to last level: The Great Pyramid. We got a little bit of a taste of what was to come on the way to the last piece for the Obelisk with the saws and the stone blocks and the split second jumps, but IMO they went a little overboard with the timed jumps up the lava flue in the Great Pyramid. I must admit, the scale and the graphics of the room were impressive but after reloading multiple times from the same checkpoint I almost threw my keyboard and mouse at my monitor in despair. When Crystal Dynamics gets around to making the next TR, I hope they rein in the next level designer who envisions such a similar room and cut it down to maybe 3-4 jumps, as opposed to the 6-7 jumps with no margin of error. It will save me a lot of frustration and throwing my arms up into the air
