Join me today as I rank my top 10 favorite Tomb Raider secrets of all-time! This is a remake of a video I released 1 year ago, which I was never completely satisfied with when I released it. I'm happy with the video now, and hope you'll enjoy watching it aswell. I've made sure to include a bunch of new stuff in the video, to hopefully make it worth watching again.
A special thanks to:
mrvenom88 for telling me about Stephenson's Rocket

This guy is single-handedly holding alive the old Tomb Raiders community, good job.
I mean, by far the least toxic, most open and positive online communities I've seen.
@@jeanpaulsinatra Agree with you both. Ax can rant without talking like it destroys the experience and makes the game "bad" because of whatever it is he's ranting on. It's all in the experience, and Ax does so great at helping us remember why we love it all so much.
Welllll, a lot of us are still creating fan-build levels in Tomb Editor....
A lot of people download them, too.
@@jeanpaulsinatra
Exactly.
@@FocusedFighter777 that being said, I would 100% stir in a lil contention if I made content
The fact that these games have supernatural elements to them that are never explained is fascinating. They are alluring all the moreso because of it.
I agree, there are so many unexplained things in the games, that are really interesting to think about.
I never forget the first time I played Tomb Raider when I finished the first level it had secrets 0 of 3. I had a great time looking for them all. There was some absolutely great secrets in all the games. Great video. I love your enthusiasm for all Tomb Raider.
Agreed! Ah yeah, I remember back when I didn't know where all the secrets were. It was so much fun to search for them. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Well, with the announcement of the remasters of the original trilogy and confirmation that they will include the PC expansions I'll be able to witness that last secret for myself!
You are in for a treat, the expansions are amazing! 😃
@@AxManiaspeaking of the remasters, have your opinions on any levels changed due to the graphical updates, or have any secrets changed now that the levels and expansions are easily available.
Great choices! I think the Ice Palace one you mentioned is my favourite because of the Indiana Jones reference and even for if you haven't seen the film, it's such a great moment of wonder! There's also the one in Old Mill where you HAVE TO run through flames in order to pick up the secret. I like the psychology of forcing you into such a decision.
Thank you Seth! Yes, it's such a great secret. It ticks all the boxes of a great secret (it's well-hidden, and is found within it's own unique area), and it's an awesome reference to a movie! 😮 That's actually a really cool way of describing that Old Mill secret, I never thought about it that way.
Ah, that beautiful sound when finding a secret... (PS) I actually have it on my phone when I get a text message! Had it for years! 😂 (I also have the TR theme as my alarm.) Love everything in the video, well done! 🤩
That's awesome! That chime is instant joy, so it must feel rewarding to hear it so often 😃 Thank you so much! 🥰
you and me we should get married
@@vanillaggl I could never say no to another Tomb Raider fan lol 😂
Let me ask the question everyone wants to know ..........how did you get These?? Where are they i also want IT
@@leamaron I got it way back (2011 I think) for free. I'm sorry but I don't remember the name of the page right now. If its still there. If I do remember it, I promise to tell you.
Can I just say as a Scottish person well done for getting the "ch" sound in "loch" correct.
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
I didn't know about most of these secrets (especially the expansion ones). Great vid!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
thank you for taking the time to making this, you don't know how much i appreciate this.
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, I really appreciate it! It warms my heart that you enjoy my videos.
Another great vídeo legend. Thanks for this level of enterteinment in my stressfull day. I can only even imagine how mutch work you have to provide this to us :)
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰
My dirty secret is never finishing the classic trilogy when I subbed a year ago. Watching these videos after finally experiencing the original trilogy in its entirety through the remasters has been nice
I'm very happy to hear that my videos can be useful, haha! Thank you 😎
TR game is such a legend. It all started from the 1st release with that mersmerising sound track and that huge gigantic historical place. After a few several release of TR, people will still always remember the 1st one. Its amazing.
I was shocked at the piramid parr you said theres something at the top and sure it was not glitching, there was an invisible path, i have never came accross it, sigh!
I agree, I love it. There are so many hidden little secrets in the Tomb Raider games everywhere, it's really cool.
Watching again because your channel is GOLD!
Haha, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I promise I'm focusing on new content now 😅
lol I feel like I'm stuck in a time loop with the "Top 10 Tomb Raider secrets" video re-uploads
Yes, I've decided that's all I'll do from now on 😂
We''re stuck in a Tomb Raider time rift secret.... :o
lol dude yes, having the same feeling even though it's been like 2 reuploads
@@davidfischer1971 It's only been one reupload. The first was a remake, with redone rankings, voice over, new entries and honorable mentions etc.
For a second I thought you really made that all secrets ranked video you mad lad 😅
Haha! 😂 I wish it was!
Highland Fling does have the real Nessie too: the one in the lake can be spotted in the secret area just before the mechanical Nessie cave: if you jump over the quicksand very carefully to trigger her without falling in, you can see the real Nessie taking a mud bath in the quicksand. She doesn’t attack Lara and only makes sparks when she breaths unlike the mechanical one. I thought this secret was inspired by the same fire breathing mechanical dinosaur plot in the season 3 episode of The Raccoons, Monster Mania, but in one of Ash’s developer streams, the developers themselves revealed it was just a coincidence. I also didn’t know about Stephenson’s Rocket IRL and thought the steam engine secret was The Evergreen 504 from another episode of the same show. (The Evergreen Express) I learned about the actual train from Stella’s 2012 or so update to her Lost Artefact walkthrough.
Also, I don’t think that’s seawater she’s pumping into the toxic goo pit to reach the Forgotten World secret: she’s using the disk in a porta potty, so she’s clearing flushing all the toilets and filling the pit with raw sewage.
Yeah, I'm aware of that other Nessie as well, but I just assumed that was another Nessie machine (also, there's something glitchy about it, somehow, as if it wasn't meant to be there).
Ewww! Isn't it too clear to be raw sewage though!? Yikes, I really hope it isn't meant to be that 🤢
@@AxMania Maybe it’s grey water: not poo filled to be actual sewage like the manure tank at the end of Lud’s Gate, but likely does have turds floating in it from the tunnel works toilets. (We just don’t see any due to texture limitations, similar to the Lud’s Gate regular water)
@@lionocyborg6030 😂 I've just decided to stubbornly stick with the belief that it's seawater, no matter how little sense it makes, because... yuck!
@@AxMania Go ahead: I don’t blame you because while it’s true it’s sewage, a high dive into poo isn’t that glamorous and the water in those toilets had to come from somewhere. The salt probably cleans it a little.
Even better the second time!
😂
Looooove your tomb raider videos! Just binged a whole bunch 😁
Thank you so much, I'm very happy to hear that! 😃
Excellent. Looking forward to checking some of these Secrets in the remasters, as I only have standard classic games on PlayStation. I'm not sure if Gold editions were available for PAL format.
The Gold editions were only released for PC, and I don't think very many people played them, because they were so obscure. You are in for a treat if you have never played them before, as they are absolutely amazing!
Nice video.
Nevertheless, considering I've never ever played a single TR spinoff, my top 10 would be crazily different. 😂 (Nearly all of yours come from bonus games).
Still, the T-Rex pit in TR2's opening level is absolutely insane. I remember discovering it back then when I was about 11~12 years old, and it blew my mind. I had no idea what was about to happen but I was scared as F. Even during the climb down on that ladder.
(I think I nearly shat my pants when the dinosaur appeared) 😂
Thank you! Yeah, I just had to include all these secrets from the expansions, because so much care have been put into that part of the games, compared to the main games, where the secrets are less spectacular. I agree completely about that double T-Rex secret though (obviously) 😃
Sorry about the late reply!
I bet you're excited to see what new Eurovision Song Contest mysteries ocurr this week
Hahaha, I am! There's already been a few mysteries after the semi finals! 😮
Thanks for clarifying it’s a reupload. I reiterate my comments from the original upload in that the silver dragons are made of silver, not stone (as they use a precious mineral theme) and that my top secrets include most of Lost Artefact’s ones such as the open sea with dolphins in Sleeping with the Fishes, Stephenson’s Rocket & magma chamber in Shakespeare Cliff, Nessie in Highland Fling and the zoo street and beach in It’s a Madhouse. From the main game proper there’s the stealth diver section in Lud’s Gate’s sewers, the drill chase in Aldwych and the big timed run in Lost City of Tinnos.
Yeah, all of these are great. You clearly like secrets that are hard to obtain 😉
Wow, thank you for reminding me about that Indiana Jones invisible bridge scene. The music gave me instant goosebumps!
I love that scene so much, it's so iconic. I'm glad they referenced it in Tomb Raider 😉
Great video... I love that you have such passion for the franchise.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Next Up: All Classic Tomb Raider Secrets Ranked
Re-re Upload Edition 😂💚
Hahaha! 😂
@@AxMania Remember I asked you about that one on your first vid of these lol. Maybe others wanna see that too :P I can't imagine having to rank over 300 secrets though. I imagine over 100 levels was hard enough as it was.
Ngl I'd be so down for all secrets ranked, even if it's just 1-3.
@@jeanpaulsinatra Oh I'll totally watch if he does it and I'd love it. I just would wonder how you can rank many of them since most are just the little niche off to the side in a corner somewhere. Still some very good ones though that weren't mentioned in the Top 10 that I'd like to know how he feels about them.
I enjoy your content. It’s so relaxing
Thank you so much, I'm really happy to hear that!
such a unique content, keep up the good work bro!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
I used to love the levels in the first tomb raider, so cool.
Yeah, the first game is just banger after banger. Even the weakest levels in that game are great.
My friend, I love your excellent, well made, interesting videos. I'm here as I am falling back in love with TR with the new remasters. Watching these videos of yours is making me look forward so much to getting to the second and third games! And the one on the Colleseum! Never even had an inkling it was there! Your work is as brilliant as your gameplay is! Great job.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! I'm glad my video could be of any help in your playthrough! 😃
With #2, I ALWAYS thought there was something down there. I purposely jumped down to see and I noticed the ominous path beneath the darkness.
As an eight year old playing the three level OEM version of Tomb Raider 2 on PC, I kept telling my siblings there's gotta be something down there and a way down without dying, but my silly butt couldn't figure it out and gave up.
It isn't until 2010 (when I was fifteen) I watched ItalianGuy99's Tomb Raider 2 videos on RUclips did I find out the correct way to climb down, and my mind was so blown away by the secret pathway down the ladder and the two t-rexes + gold dragon secret.
I was bummed out that I spoiled myself doing that without figuring it out sooner, but at the same time I was filled with joy knowing how right I was seven years prior. 😆
So yeah, I'm so happy you put that secret from The Great Wall as #2 on this list my man! 😄
Haha, aww, that's too bad, but at least you got the right idea back then 😉 That secret is so incredibly awesome, and might just as well have been the first place on this list. I love how Core Design just went completely nuts with that opening level in every single regard, including it's secrets 😂 It's such a "Welcome to the Tomb Raider sequel everybody, things are going to be a little crazier here ☺️"
I love notifications for your videos!
Thank you!
Thanks for another great video! These games have really interesting and unique secrets
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I agree. Some of them are so great.
I didn't realize this was a re upload until I checked the comments, still watched the whole video though.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
You are my nummer one youtuber. Axmania! Its so fun too watch your videos
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰
Hello, i know your channel by Suzanne the raider 🙂 Great and interesting video.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Suzanne is awesome! 😎
I’m glad I’m not alone in being an over achiever when it comes to playing most games if not all the ones I play 100% completion baby!!
Haha, 100%! 😉 Cheers!
This was a staggering video! My favorite secret is the gold dragon in The Great Wall Of China exhibited in Tomb Raider 2. There was zero logical motivation for the composers to place 2 Tyrannosaurus Rex under The Great Wall Of China,but they did anyway. And i love that: part of why i adore Tomb Raider as a franchise is because, especially the early games are so nonsensical and preposterous: it just so happens that our businesswoman turns out to be a psychopathic Atlantean queen,it just so happens that there are invisible platforms leading to a dragon ornament,statues come to life, dinosaurs are present in unnatural places,etc. I think this stupidity adds such an endearing feeling to the franchise.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it, and that's obviously an excellent pick for your favorite secret 😉 Hahaha, I love this comment, because it's so true! The first three Tomb Raider games are just bonkers! The Last Revelation felt like a somewhat drier and more grounded game.
@@AxMania i concur. It still has its "what the...?" Moments, but not to the extent as the previous games.
Original tr games are quite depressing, still I play them from time to time haha. Your tr passion is one of a kind
Haha, depressing? 😃 Well, I think I can see what you mean actually. They are very lonely, in a way.
10/10 would watch again. :D
Haha, thank you so much! 😃 Well, knowing me, I might reupload it a couple more times! 😅
you are my favorite tomb raider youtuber.
Thank you so much, that means the world to me! Thank you 🥰
I thought it was a part 2, then had a weird deja vu and finally read your pinned comment. XD
Haha, sorry, I swear I'll be focusing on new content from now on 😅
Excellent can never have to much Ax ❤
Even redone videos 😊
Aww, thank you so much, I really appreciate it! 🥰
Glad to find this when im not distracted by work
Haha, I'm glad you are watching! Thank you!
You and Steve of warr are the only youtubers I trust with tomb raider videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words, that means a lot to me!
Desert eagle is my favorite weapon in the series as well. Wish they would've used it in other games too.
I agree. It shows up briefly in Chronicles too, but there's only two enemies or so to use it against 😅
Top 10 Top 10 Tomb Raider Secrets videos.
FFS 😂 I'm getting there!
LOL I didn't know about any of these, except I did find the dual Rexes in TR2. Kudos!
Haha, thank you for watching!
TR3 is amazing. It was the one I spent most of my time on as a kid. I didn't play TR2 until after 3 for some reason. I found 3 easier than 2 but that was only due to the time I'd spent playing 3.
Same here. I think if you are used to the way 3 was, 2 is very different, because it's so much more combat-oriented, which is difficult in a much different way than 3.
i played tr1,2,3 soo many times when i was a kid and didnt even know about the t rex pit in the second one daaaaimn
Haha, it's a very well-hidden secret indeed. Why would anyone look in that big dark void beneath the zipline anyway?
The most interesting secrets for me are those in The Lost Artifact.
Absolutely! I agree completely.
Can you rank the best TR Glitches?
Hahaha, that could be a fun topic!
@@AxMania We hope you can do this! Also interesting: the best Lara Outfits, the longest and shortest levels, a butler special episode =) etc....
Re-upload or not, it's always good to see your videos, man.
Btw sorry to ask, but what happened to the "Top 10 hardest Tomb Raider secrets" video? It's on private list now.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I'll reupload that one as well, both videos had the same errors in their transitions between ranked entries, and a wrong secret number 😫
So you die and dont save? time to re do all secrets Again
Haha! 😂
It's been a long time since I played most of these games. I had forgotten half of the secrets and I think I never did get the other half LOL. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada🍁
Haha, I don't blame you! Collecting secrets in Tomb Raider can be incredibly frustrating and tedious. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
New Video 😩😩😩😩 day blessed
Haha, thank you so much for watching!
Hi Ax, I found your channel recently and loving your videos. I have a question, the first tomb raider level I ever played was in 4, and it's not a level I've ever been able to find. I remember a scorpion pit where you find a revolver, I remember a large block in the middle of the room where ninjas spawned if you climbed up to get the medpak. Does this sound familiar?
Edit: Playable Tutorial Level in 4 is the level I was looking for
Ahh, yes, I was just about to say, but I see you found it yourself. That's a fun little level, and I really like that scorpion room, it's so cinemsatic! Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
Beautiful secrets, well done! But what about the later games? They also contain some great ones
Thank you! 😃 If I'm not mistaken, the later games don't have secrets per se?
I really miss playing The Lost Artefact :(
Yeah, it's such a shame it's not more easily available ☹️
Btw, I saw your comment on my Lion King video as well, but I had to change the video due to fear of a copyright claim from Disney, but yes: The rewind feature in the remaster was crucial for me to be able to record all that footage! 😅 I don't know what I would've done without it.
Have you got Remastered?! ❤️
You deserve more subscribers
Thanks man, I really appreciate that!
Ah, a reupload! I was wondering how else you can spin this topic :D Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to replicate my comment from the previous video, but I can still watch it again :)
Thank you so much! I still have all the comments from the previous version saved, as it would pain me to lose them.
@@AxMania Aw! Ngl I'd do the same if I had to delete a video (though mine don't get that many comments, of course :D )
Secret with 2 T-Rexes on first lvl of TR2 is #1 for me :D
It's such a fantastic secret! 😃
About the golden skulls in Tomb Raider 4 you can still get easy course as long you pick up the skull after the cutscene.
Oh really? Didn't know that!
all these years and I had no idea there were expansions for classic TR games - I played them on the PS1. guess it's time to finally try the PC versions!
You are in for a treat, they are genuinely some of the best classic Tomb Raider levels ever!
Actually, regarding the armory secret, i don't mean to be offensive, but you were partially wrong. Here, let me put it this way.
It can still be obtained "technically" as I've noticed the bunch of keys appears on the ground next to the scorpion after killing the guard (if you look at the bottom right after the body explodes into pieces).
So yeah, there's no need to worry even if players blow up the guard completely by accident.
I'm pretty sure that's a different set of keys, called Guard's Keys, which are needed for completing the level. The Armory Key just appears in Lara's inventory, if she manages to kill the scorpion before it kills the guard. I think 😅
I'm very gratified you picked so many secrets from The Lost Artefact, which I believed I mentioned before is my favourite of the Gold packs. Certainly looking forward to seeing how it shapes up in the Remaster, that's for sure. (=^_^=)
Oh yeah, nothing did secrets better than The Lost Artefact in my opinion. I love that the secrets are their own little side areas with unique sights, enemies and so on.
I hated Tomb Raider 2's secrets because if you didn't find all three of them you got nothing, so for a casual player who didn't know where the secrets were they just felt like a waste of time. At least in other games when you find only a few of the secrets it feels more worth it because you still get some of the stuff. Get 2/3 secrets in Tomb Raider 1, 3 and 4 you at least feel like you did something as you have more ammo and medpacks, but in 2 if you only have 2 of the secrets it's just been a waste of time.
I love them, but I totally get you. They are indeed useless if you don't find all of them. I just love the concept of each level having the same three figurines. I do think Tomb Raider II has the easiest secrets overall too, so there's a bigger chance of finding all three in a level in this game, than finding all secrets in a level in the first game and Tomb Raider III. But yeah, the all-or-nothing thing is not the best.
Deja vú o.o
Still love it
Haha! Thank you, I'm happy to hear that.
The best one is the jade dragon in TR2
Tomb Raider 3 can be finished with 60 of 59 Secrets as there is an extra Secret on the Coastal Village level giving a total of 4 of 3 on the statistics screen
Yeah, so you technically CAN skip that evil final secret of Lost City of Tinnos.
The extra secret is there in case you choose the alternative path in the level River Gange and lose one of the secrets.
Think the trex chasm was referenced in Mario Odyssey as an easter egg? The Tomb raider secret and the Steam Gardens secret look similar, dinosaur(s) and all
Oh, really!? That's so cool! 😃
Is there a top 10 friendlies video?
Not yet, but that's a nice suggestion for a top 10, thank you!
I found TR3 to be the worst when it comes to secrets. So many of them were impossible to find without following a walkthrough. The secret would be hidden befind a "illusion" barrier in a place you would have no reason whatsoever to "explore" by going head into or literally jumping into it.
Yeah, I agree. The secrets in that game were not nearly as enjoyable to collect as in the previous two games. My favorite is Tomb Raider II, as I think collecting the three dragon figurines is a fun way to do it.
Something I realized recently - the orca tank secret is unrealistic. Orcas are mammals, therefore they need to occasionally surface and breathe, otherwise they would drown just as land-based mammals would. So if these Area 51 orcas really spend most of their time locked inside this water tank with no place to surface for air, they'd be long dead by the time Lara meets them.
The same is true for the dolphin in "Sleeping with the Fishes" - how does it stay alive without surfacing to breathe?
Haha, that's an excellent (and very tragic) point! What a horrifying thought 😂 It would've been an easy thing to fix for the level designers as well. They could have added open space above the tanks.
What about the opening where Lara enters the tank? It's a small square but it's possible to breathe there 😅
@@kayeff7155 - From what I know about Orca anatomy - it won't work :P
Are the orcas noy a reference to star trek film?
Yeah, I think they are, but I didn't know that until after I made this video, when someone pointed it out to me.
my favorite secret was the myth of the Nude Raider cheat Code
Haha! 😂
Is this a re upload im 100% sure ive seen this video already ?
It is, I had to fix some errors ☹️
@@AxMania no problem i rewatched it anyway haha 💪🏻
13:30 Wait so that was supposed to be going back in time? I dunno I never questioned why there was lava everywhere and I never questioned the dinosaurs since.... You know... They are not exactly extinct in any of the first 3 TR games.
Haha, good point 😅 It doesn't really make any logical sense either way.
🙂🙂🙂
Aha great , i only discovered the two T Rexes and i thought i was good at this game😂
Well, they are very well-hidden 😉 Why would anyone think to look down in that pitch black abyss after all?
@@AxMania I hope your Chanel get all the recognition it deserve , everything about it IS pure gold , and on top of that you take the time to interact with us . From all of my heart THANK YOU 💐💐💐.
De javu 😂
Haha! 😅
Am I the only one who (for many years) thought secrets in TR 2 were "little kitty's" instead "dragons" 🤔
Not me, no.
Haha, I can actually kind of see it 😅 They also kind of look like catfish, or something...
i complete the game then sell it
I never bothered with secrets cus games were hard enough even without them , especially 3
Haha, true! 😅
