3.2  Other general hints and tips.

    If you think you're stuck and you don't want to resort to using a
    walkthrough then....

    * Just be aware that, while she remains breathing, Lara can never be
    stuck at any point in a game (unless you've encountered one of the
    later games' savegame bugs).  There's always some way of extracting
    her from the predicament most perilous.

    * Try pushing or pulling a box or a section of wall that looks
    different.  AFAIK there's only one section of 'secret' wall in the
    games that's perfectly blended with the solid wall.

    * Shoot out a window.  Sometimes vandalism is the only way to
    progress.  Or if you have no weapons get someone to shoot out a
    window for you....

    * Are you sure you can't make that jump?  Sometimes the impossible
    can be done.  This is The Divine Ponytail we're talking about after
    all.

    * TR3: Look up at the ceiling often to see if there's some grippable
    rock that Lara could use to monkey swing across the chasm/river.
    This one takes a bit of getting used to after playing the two
    previous games.

    * TRC (tower block level only unfortunately): Look for places on the
    ceiling which you can fire the grappling gun at.
