TR 2 Other bugs:
The Tibetian Foothills Textúra hiba, avagy Lara még a felvidéken is talál tükröt. :-) (Felfedezõ: Yduy)
The Convent of Barkhang: Textúra hiba, avagy az ég összeomlik a kolostor felett. :-) (Felfedezõ: Yduy)
Tibetan Foothills -- Graphical glitch... (Sender: Dr. Uhu)
This bug is from TR2: part of the level is "not masked" (the program
doesn't refresh it correctly). I've sent a picture and a savegame.

Bartoli's Hideout: Pistol bug (sender Lacek)
Another TR2-bug from Bartoli's Hideout; this time a
pistol bug. I have a feeling I saw this before, but noone could really tell
me that it is a known thing or not. Maybe more eyes will see more. :) Anyway,
I have a savegame and some pictures about it. In fact I was lazy to search
for the causes of this bug, but I'll surely check it later. Be good till then!
:) By the way, how was the corner-bug like? None of you replied... :( Wasn't
it interesting? If it was or wasn't, no matter, but I awaited your reactions.
Silence kills motivation, surely you know this... I won't send you things
if you don't want to... So, please: "thanks", "no thanks",
or something - that's more than enough. Thank you! ;)

Temple of Xian: The fake ladder
This is a joke of the level designers. (I'd better not write here what I thought
about this joke first.)
There are two explanations for this incident. :)
1. Indiana Jones or some other swindler ainted a fake ladder on the wall to
trick Lara.
2. Lara - using her insight - analyzed the situation and decided she wouldn't
do the the whole trip again for a bloody medipack. (And the decomposing carcass
of the tiger smelt quite bad anyway.) .Download

Venice: You can trick the time-triggered gate at the end of the level if after pushing the switch you leave the room swimming under the door.Download
Wreck of Maria Doria: I've found
a very funny bug in the TR2 Wreck of Maria Doria level. There is a sharky
swimming in the pool beneath the multi-storey hall in which Lara drains the
water from beneath a boat, but you can't get to this pool. It's somewhat difficult
to get rid of the shark but it's worth the effort.
You can easily get to the glass splinters. Both of the long sides but only
one of the short ones have sliding edges. Go to the sliding short side and
take a position there when the shark swims next to the wall - Lara can aim
at it from here. The hard part begins now since if she shoots the fish it
will change tactics and try to escape. You'll see as it starts to swim in
circles between Lara and the wall. As you go closer to the wall the shark
will make smaller and smaller circles and if you reach the wall it will rush
to the other side and starts it over again.
You can chose from two methods to hunt down the animal:
#1: (faster) Drive the shark to the sliding side and take aiming position.
>From 1 out of ~10 cases Lara will be able to shoot it if it comes close
to the wall.
#2: (slower) Wait till the shark comes to the surface. Lara will be able to
shoot it if the whole fin is out of the water. The shark has to be in escaping
mode so you can't aim at it if it's directly under your boots. (The pitfall
of this method is that the shark doesn't really like to go to the surface
so you have to wait a while.)
You can elevate your kill number to 38 if you eliminate this shark.Download
The Quarters: How did I do it? Exceptionally I followed a spontaneous idea. If you load the game you'll see there's a room with some rolling barrels, bad guys, an oven with flames and an underwater switch. So, I flooded the room as expected, the door opened and a hyperactive diver appeared on the other side trying to catch Lara's attention with his harpoon gun. Then came the idea. I climbed out of the water ran back to the switch and let the water go down. A bit later I went back to the room thinking the diver had disappeared. BUT HE HADN'T...So, the save was made here. You just have to run forward a few blocks. When you arrive under the shaft wait a few seconds and you'll see him! (thx Strong) Download
On the Deck
You can lure the 3 sharks passing round in the lake into the white water. They can't bite here, so Lara can walk beside them easily ... (on one of pictures 2 sharky have slid together funny!) (Thx Strong)
The Tibetian Foothills: a triggerfault to be pulled: jump to the right go round carefuly on the top of the rocks hence avoiding triggers on the opposite side that would trigger the baddy sitting on the snowbike. I we manage to do it, it's gonna stay unanimated, just squatting over there. Hey, where's the snowbike ? :-)Download
Ice Palace: Look around using the Look <0> key. You can notice the shadow of a yeti in front of you on the floor behind the grate, you don't even have to move Lara.. Download

Temple of Xian: In the room where the first dragon statue is and a stone rolls after you at arrival... The way to get back is from the right side and is quite a difficult one. The first time I played it I found this path way too difficult, better to say, impossible. So, I took a jump from the rear end of the dragon towards its head and to my not quite small surprise the program allowed this move and put me in front of the dragon's head. I found myself at the same spot where I was when I arrived into the room. Then I just took a few jumps back to the middle of the room, that's all. Sure a bug! (thx Sys)Download
The Dragon's Lair: This one is not a bug just an interesting solution, actually this is the easiest way to kill the dragon. Lara is watching the metamorphosis from the shelter of a pillar. Then she runs to the other side of the pillar hence protecting herself from the Dragon's glowing breath. The big-mouthed monster doesn't realize he should move so Lara has an easy time to aim at it from this spot.Download
Offshore Rig: Lara holds the burnt flare This bug works with every movable box at TR2 and TR2 Gold. Light a flare, and strat to push and pull a box continually. After the flare burn down, then push and pull the box several times (IMPORTANT: between a "push" and a "pull" hold the CTRL button pressed!!!) If you did everything right, the burnt flare is still in Lara's hand! It disappears only when she light an other flare, or draw "double weapons" (pistols, automatic pistols, uzis)!! (Strong)
Offshore Rig.
1.At the beginning, Lara doesn't have Her weapons but She must escape, at
the glass-windows. Originally the guard shoots out the windows for Her, but
She may loose too much energy. For the beginners, there are some more tricks
to do. Run against the windows (1st save) and press the END button. Lara will
go through the windows with this, without any damages (2nd save and the picture);
turn right and go to the button, before the guard shoots out the windows.
If the windows keep being undamaged, we can make our job (stopping the rotors
of the plane) outside with no problem. Then get out of the water at the beginning
and repeat the END-trick, and then Lara can get Her pistols.
2. Load the 3rd savegame, but keep pressing CTRL, because Lara is hanging
from the ledge, under the closed iron-door. Now release CTRL and She will
jump up into the corridor. Pictures are available for this bug too. (thx Jani)
The Great Wall --Glitches with the spiders...
(By Jani)
In TR2's "The Great Wall", the bloody spiders are coming to attack
at the beginning, while they're jumping and patrolling in the water. Hold
down the CTRL-key with the first savegame, because Lara's hanging on the ladder,
while the spiders are under Her. The beasts are going to swimming with the
second savegame. On the fourth picture, they're biting Lara at a sensitive
part of Her body. :-))
