   Author's notes 
   ========================================================
   Hi! This is the first time I'm doing a Faq. I hope you
   like it! I tried to do it simple and clear, so feel free
   to E-mail me your opinion. Well, since this is my first
   experience, I will not allow you to put this Faq in your
   Web page. But I will reconsider this later. I will also 
   include some questions in this Faq, so E-mail me if you 
   can't find something, when you have a doubt or if you 
   simply want to contribute with something (but be clear). 
   I don't have much free time to answer all the E-mails, so 
   it may take time and don't be surprised for not receiving 
   an answer. I'll do my best anyway. There are some 
   E-mails that I'll ignore: flaming, off-topic (this is
   only for secrets), questions already answered in the 
   "Frequently Asked Questions" section and foreign 
   languages (I only know English and Portuguese). One more
   thing: please, never send me pictures or any other things
   like that by E-mail. And Thanks for reading my E-mail!

   Note: My English is not very good, so please correct me if
   you find any error.   

   What's new?
   ========================================================

   Version 2.0
   -Made some small changes in the logo (missing "H" 
    included)
   -Corrected some small errors
   -Added some questions to the "Frequently asked questions"
    section 
   -Added some more info in a few secrets 
   -Added "Special moves list" section
   -Added "Cheats" section  
  
   Next Update
   I still want to add those cheats for both Dreamcast and
   PC versions, but I need to test them first. I'm also 
   making a special section to the Beta version of the game,
   but I still need more information about it. No credits 
   yet, but soon I'll put them there (I hope...) 
   and I'm thinking about putting "Credits" section in first
   place. I'll continue to update the information about each 
   secret and I what to make sure you get the detailed 
   location of each one.

   ======================================================== 
  | 1. About the Secrets				   |
   ========================================================
   If you played any of the previous games, then you 
   must know what they are. A Secret usually consists in a
   hidden area/room with many useful items that will
   help you during the game. Whenever you find one, you 
   hear a noise. In Tomb Raider I, III and The Last 
   Revelation, Secrets were just areas with many items. 
   In Tomb Raider II this is a bit different.  
   Although they are also hidden in secret rooms, the
   secrets consist in small coloured dragon statues. 
   Each level had three statues, and finding the three 
   statues in one level would give you many items as 
   well. In some of the games, finding all secrets will 
   unlock a better bonus...

   ...and that's exactly what happens in Tomb Raider 
   Chronicles. But I don't want to spoil it. When you 
   were playing Tomb Raider Chronicles, you might have 
   found some golden roses. That's a secret. There are
   a total of 36 roses all over the game (each level has
   3 roses). This guide tells you the locations of all 
   the roses you will find in the game.

   ========================================================
  | 2. Rome Levels 					   |
   ========================================================

   A) STREETS OF ROME
   
   -SECRET 1: At the beggining of the level, there is a 
    training level at your left. There is a room in this
    training area where you have to tightrope walk. Before 
    doing this, go to the room below and examine the 
    shelter at the top right corner. Push it to reveal a
    secret room and collect the secret from the shelter.
 
   -SECRET 2: Near the place where you find the revolver and
    the second Garden key, there is a closed door to the 
    left. It will open after you shoot the bell in the bell
    house. Go there to collect the secret.
    
   -SECRET 3: When you get to the bell house, after 
    shooting the bell, you have to jump to a room at your
    left and press a switch there. In this room, there are
    two secret doors that will open after moving the two
    crystal bird statues inside the bell house. The secret 
    is in one of them.

   B) TRAJAN'S MARKET

   -SECRET 4: In the room with the gears, there is a 
    trapdoor near the room's entrance. This trapdoor will 
    open after moving the big wheel that was blocking a 
    room.
   
   -SECRET 5: Kill the machine that shoots a laser from the
    eyes against you. Go to the next room and use the metal
    platform to get to the top of the red machine where 
    the secret is. 

   -SECRET 6: There is a closed gate to the right in the 
    main area of this level. You can see the secret inside. 
    This gate will open after you beat the Knight 
    
   C) THE COLOSSEUM

   -SECRET 7: This one's tough to find. At the very 
    beggining of the level (before the corridor where 
    the ground falls), examine the rocks to the right 
    along the way. There is a secret block you have to push
    to find the secret.
  
   -SECRET 8: After exiting the room with the timed event
    (where you have a few seconds to get the item in the 
    top), you'll see an open gate, but you will fall before 
    passing it. After the scene with Pierre, go back to the
    previous room using the entrance to the right (carefull
    not to slip in the rocks) and enter the opened gate you
    saw to get the secret.

   -SECRET 9: At the very end of the level, don't pick up 
    the Philosopher's stone. Instead, you should jump 
    to the platforms until you find the crawling space where 
    the secret is.
 
   ======================================================== 
  | 3. Russian Base levels				   |
   ========================================================

   D) THE BASE

   -SECRET 10: At the beggining of the game, get the swipe 
    card and use it in the left door in the boxes hall. Kill
    the dogs and shoot the ventilation shaft to get the secret.

   -SECRET 11: When you first get out to the area with snow, 
    use the hanged box in the middle of the area to jump to
    the top of the boxes at the left. The secret is there.       
   -SECRET 12: Enter the shower room. Examine the left area
    with shallow water to find a trapdoor. Save your game
    here. Now you have to swim a lot until you find the 
    secret room. Collect it and swim back to the shower room.

   E) THE SUBMARINE

   -SECRET 13: After escaping the prison, walk inside the 
    air shaft until you find a hole with electricity in the
    bottom. Go down the hole to find a secret passage to 
    the left. Collect the secret and get out.

   -SECRET 14: In the room where you find the Aqualung and 
    the Shotgun there is a box at the right of the entrance
    that can be opened with the crowbar. The secret is 
    inside.

   -SECRET 15: This one is a bit tricky to find out. 
    I don't remember exactly where it is. There is a room
    where you have to climb to a box to get to the 
    ventilation shaft once again. You can stand up over the
    second ventilator. Use a flare to find a secret platform 
    where you have to climb to get the secret.

   F) DEEP SEA DIVE

   -SECRET 16: Go forward. After passing the rocks, swim 
    to the right and you'll find the secret in a small 
    cave deep in the sea.

   G) SINKING SUBMARINE

   -SECRET 17: First, you have to turn the electricity off.
    After that, go back to the kitchen and collect the 
    secret from the ground.

   -SECRET 18: This is hard to find. It took me ages to find
    it. After collecting the green bottle, exit the room. 
    Two guys will be waiting for you. Kill them. One of 
    them has a key. Use the key to open the door in the same
    room where you turned the electricity off.

   ========================================================
  | 4. Black Isle levels 			           |
   ========================================================

   H) GALLOWS TREE

   -SECRET 19: Very hard to get. At the beggining, jump
    to the rocks in the other side of the abyss. Grab the 
    ledge and go to the left. Release the ledge at the end
    and jump to the rocks in front of you and hold the edge.
    Now release the edge and you'll land in a safe platform.
    But don't move too much, because you may slip and you'll
    have to climb to the top and do everything again. Now jump 
    to a cave at your right. Before that, you may want to 
    save the game (it's a hard jump). Collect the secret 
    inside the cave and then fall down to the lower area and
    climb back to the top.      

   -SECRET 20: After slipping to the tree where you find
    the strange creature, use the sliding rocks at the 
    left of the entrance to get to the top of the column 
    where the secret is. You have to jump from rock to rock
    and grab the column.  

   -SECRET 21: Go to the area where there are a lot of 
    crypts and find the entrance to the underground path. 
    Be carefull here, there is a spot where the ground 
    falls and there are spikes. Go to the lowest level of
    this area (go to the right inside this cave and you'll 
    get to the place where the spikes are. Crawl across the
    spikes and collect the secret in the small crawling space.

   I) LABIRYNTH

   -SECRET 22: In the church where the skelletons attack
    you, open the door with the bone dust. Enter the door
    and climb to a hidden platform in the top. Press the
    switch to open a new passage. Examine the wall at the end 
    of the passage to get the secret

   -SECRET 23: After falling in the water from a long fall,
    climb up and go through the first opening. There is a 
    bridge here. At the beggining of the brige, check the 
    left side. You'll see an opening in the wall. Do a 
    running jump and hold the edge in the corner, then go 
    right and climb up when you can. Now jump to the next
    platform and collect the secret inside the opening. Do 
    the reverse way to get out.

   -SECRET 24: After collecting the Bestiary Book and 
    exiting that area, you'll see a white thing (a spirit,
    maybe) that will guide you. Climb to the first platform,
    then jump to the other one. From here, jump forward to 
    the overhead frame (under the higher platform)and monkey
    swing to the crawling space where the secret is. Quickly 
    release and hold the "Action" button to grab the crawling
    space's edge and climb up. Collect the secret at the end. 
    Be careful with the spikes in the middle of the crawling
    space.

   J) OLD MILL

   -SECRET 25: Go to the area with the rope in the middle, 
    where the imps are throwing stones against you. Jump to
    the rope, turn around and use the rope to jump to the 
    left platform. Collect the torch and return to the cave 
    you came from. At the end of the cave, you can light 
    the torch. Go back and do a running jump to the area 
    where the Imps are. Leave the torch near them and crawl 
    through the small tunnel to the left to get the secret.

   -SECRET 26: At the entrance of the windmill area, there
    are two crawling caves to the left. Enter the second one.
    Collect the medipack and save your game here. The path 
    is blocked with fire, so you'll have to dash through the
    fire and fall in the water before your energy bar is 
    empty. Climb up to collect the secret, and don't forget 
    to heal with the medipack you just found. Exit this area
    by using the other crawling space to the left. 

   -SECRET 27: After stoppping the windmill, the water will 
    slow down. Swim behind the house where the knight went
    and you'll find a small entrance that will take you to 
    the secret. You can also get this secret while the 
    water is still running , but it's harder to enter in the
    small entrance. Start swimming from the left side of the
    house and try not to pass the entrance because the stream
    is very strong. I recommend you to get this secret after
    stopping the stream.   

   ========================================================
  | 5. Block Tower levels			           |
   ========================================================

   K) THE 13th FLOOR

   -SECRET 28: At the beggining, go to the left and shoot 
    the air duct's grating. Pass those lasers and shoot 
    another grating at the left. Enter the weapons room to
    get the secret.

   -SECRET 29: After getting the acess code disk, you have
    to go back to the floor you started the level and 
    operate the computer to open the air duct. Now you have 
    to go down using the pole (carefull with the explosions).
    Jump backwards in your way down to land in a secret
    entrance and collect the secret.

   -SECRET 30: Later in the game, Zip tells you not to kill
    the scientist. Kill him. A new door will open in the 
    other side of the room. Go there and colect the secret 
    at the left side where the laser is after killing the
    guards.

   L) ESCAPE WITH THE IRIS

   -SECRET 31: After entering the elevator shaft for the  
    first time, save your game and go down the climbable 
    wall. Go down as much as you can, then release. You 
    should land inside the secret entrance. It's a bit hard 
    to do it, because most of the times you will land on a
    slipping ledge. Then collect the secret and get out by
    climbing the elevator chain. 

   -SECRET 32: After exiting the elevator shaft once and for
    all, you'll have to run from an armed guard (you don't 
    have weapons yet). You'll see a big aquarium there with
    the secret inside. If you stand between the guard and 
    the aquarium, the guard will certainly hit the glass of the 
    aquarium. Collect the secret and run. You may lose some
    energy here, so be carefull. 

   -SECRET 33: After collecting the previous secret, a sniper
    will shoot against you. Run to the other side and climb up
    the wall at the left of the door. Run to the other side 
    once again. There is a small fire estinguisher there. The 
    sniper must shoot it, so run around it until that
    happens. The explosion will reveal a secret entrance with
    the secret inside.

   M) RED ALERT

   -SECRET 34: At the begginig of the level, kill the guard 
    and keep going upstairs. The choper will destroy some of
    the stairs and you'll have to jump. After a running jump,
    the next stairs will fall below your feet, so make sure 
    you jump before you fall with them. After that, climb 
    down the stairs that just felt to get to the secret
    entrace at the left side. Collect the secret and get out.

   -SECRET 35: The hardest secret to get. It took me a few
    tries, and you may have to practice before doing it. 
    After using the elevator (inside the building), kill the
    guard. There is a large corridor to the left and two 
    doors in front of you. Enter the left door, equip your
    rifle with sniper ammo and save the game. Press the button
    to start the shooting game. Try to shoot all the targets
    before they pass the middle line. If that happens, reset
    and try again. If you did it fine, the lamp will light up
    and the other door will be opened. Save your game. You 
    have to shoot all the targets again, but this time is
    harder. After pressing the button, the room will be filled
    with gas and the exit door will only open if you shoot
    all targets before they pass the middle line. Then heal 
    yourself from the gas and go up the corridor to collect 
    the secret in the opened room to the left.

   -SECRET 36: The last secret, and very easy to get. At the
    end of the level , you have to go inside the gas chamber.
    Save your game before that. The secret is near the first
    switch, in a crawling space to the right.

   Congratulations! You have found all the secrets in the 
   game. Now go to the last door and save your game there.
   After the final credits, don't turn the console off yet.
   A new option will be available in the main menu. Enjoy
   your reward!

  | 8. Frequently Asked Question			    |
   =========================================================
   
   Q: I have the game for Playstation and I can't find secret
      number 29.
   A: There is a different PAL version of the game which  
      isn't exactly the final Pal version. I'll call it the
      Beta version. There are some small differences there, 
      and this secret is one of them. After opening a door by
      shooting the lock, you'll slide down and face a guard.
      Kill him and climb up to the air shaft. Avoid the
      explosions and get the secret at the end. I saw this
      somewhere, and I still don't have much information about
      this "Beta" version. I'll update it as soon as possible.

   Q: I cannot get the secret 11 in the Russian base. Every
      time I try to jump to the boxes from the hanged box,
      I always fall in the ground.
   A: The same happened to me, and I still don't know why.
      Do a diving jump (press the walk button when performing 
      a running jump) to get there easily.
