Race For The Iris
Items: 0
Kills: 0
The Race for the Iris can be tricky, but we don't have any hints for where to go for you. You will learn by chasing Von Croy, but we have some tips for how to overtake him.
Run!
Von Croy will give himself a lead, and you will have to chase him down. In the virtuous path, this is extremely difficult. You can do your best by sprinting whenever you have a fairly straight run ahead of you. Use running jumps if you require more maneuverability, as Lara is able to change her heading in mid-jump.
Heresy's Pros and Cons
The heretical path actually gives you a better chance to beat Von Croy than the virtuous path, but if you can't keep up with Von Croy, then he will pull every dirty trick he can find to hinder your progress, so there is an equally likely chance that you'll be left in the dust wondering what's the fastest way through.
Pride Before a Fall
Early in the heretical path, Von Croy will enter a building and turn right and try to close off the way to you, leaving you the path to the left, which opens only after he's sealed off the path to the right. This is his big mistake. If you complete the path on the left quickly, he'll still be swimming through an underwater tunnel while you zip ahead of him.
