• Climbing
  To make Lara climb up a rock or a crate, press and hold the action button, then press the direction. You can first jump straight up, if you want, might make it easier.
  
  
• Swimming/Diving
  Left and right will make Lara turn while on the surface. Side-step will make her swim sideways. Press up to swim forwards, press down to stroke backwards. To dive down, press the jump button, use up to dive down and down to dive to the surface.
  
  
• Handstand
  Press the Walk Button, while pressing Action and Up, when pulling up on a ledge.
  
  
• Swan Dive
  Press the Walk Button, while pressing Jump and Up, to make a Swan Dive. This can be done on an even surface, where Lara will simply make a dive-roll or into a water pool.

Tips

• Fighting
  If Lara is attacked start jumping around while shooting at the opponent. Run past the opponent and make a roll to shoot at his back. If he turns around repeat this. Never stop shooting till he's dead.
  
  
• T-Rex
  If you're fighting the T-Rex try to hide in a tunnel and shoot him from there.
  
  
• Climbing down (safety drop)
  If you want to climb down somewhere and you don't know how far it is to the ground, always hang backwards from a ledge and then let go; never jump.
