The Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered collection brings back both nostalgia and a difficulty ceiling that players from the 90s can appreciate. The original trilogy features some of the hardest levels of the entire franchise, after all. Completing them required not only patience and skill but also familiarity with the clunky controls of the time.

Thankfully, developer Aspyr decided to give players the option to cheat their way to the end. Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered includes a list of cheat codes that can be entered at any point in the three games to skip levels, unlock weapons, get infinite ammunition, gain full health, and make Lara Croft explode for kicks.

Cheats are not the only new features bundled with the remastered trilogy. There is also a photo mode, a modern control scheme, real-time lighting effects, over 200 achievements and trophies, and "a few more surprises" that you must find on your own.

The Tomb Raider "Survivor Trilogy" dabbled with Survival game mechanics, but the next entry in the series should embrace Survival genre even further.

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Cheat Codes List

You can enable cheats via a series of manual inputs in the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered games. Make sure that the cheat codes are being entered with the Classic Control Scheme (Tank Controls), or else they will not work. You can always switch back to the Modern Control Scheme from the settings menu after enabling the cheats.

It is worth noting that the codes for the same cheat differ from game to game, so the cheat to unlock all weapons is different for all three remasters.

Using cheats disables all achievements and trophies, which can only be undone by starting a new game. It is best to keep separate save files if you are looking to use cheat codes to blow off some steam.

The maximum health cheat code of Tomb Raider 3 requires the bottom shoulder buttons of a controller, so it can only be done on PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch.

If you are still unable to enable a cheat from the aforementioned list, it just means that you are not comfortable with the classic tank controls in Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered. There is a noticeable delay between all movement animations. If you want to make Lara step forward and then backward, you need to wait until she has completed her movement animation before punching in the next command to step backward. In addition, you need to be walking (not running) while entering the cheats, so hold down the walk button.

Lastly, you need to press the jump button and direction in quick succession, not simultaneously. You need to press jump and then quickly forward, for example, to make the cheat work. Pressing both buttons at the same time will do nothing.
