Top 10 Tomb Raider Chronicles Secrets, Lore & Easter Eggs

Chronicles is underrated, and maybe rightfully so for its context at the time. But I still love it, it's still a fun set of tomb raider romps. Maybe it's more akin to a very good TRLE custom level editor game, which is why it seems so sub-par for a mainline release

I always thought the Russia story took place after TR2. She mentioned in the beginning of the level that she's dealt with mafiaso before.

Never thought a Tomb Raider game would have a lot of references to some of Arnold Schwarzenegger's movies, but that was still pretty cool to know about as a Arnold fan. Love all the history of the areas in the game too. Can't wait for more Tomb Raider videos.

I loved playing this when i was a teen. Hell i loved playing all of her adventures with two being my favorite.

I love this game. It reminds me of rainy Saturday mornings, where I couldn't go out to play, and I preferred to stay for hours playing it on DreamCast

I feel so glad that classic TR games are still alive thanks to awesome people like you ❤

the railgun effect is a fairly common trope in the quake series aswell. with the whole blue energy corkscrew the natla magnums are the same model in the first game, as they have from memory one blue and one red N on the backs of the slides.

I love the Ireland section, it's so special and immersive. I understand that some might feel a not-tomb-raider setting, but once you accept that it's not what you expected, you may enjoy it. This chapter not only had its unique atmosphere and folklore, but also its own videogame genre. It's not really a platformer, nor an action game, it's more like a pure puzzle solving game. In fact these levels could be easily converted into a traditional point and click gameplay, in which you simply move from one screen to another and interact with objects and think of relevant item associations to make the story progress. It feels like the intersection of Tomb Raider and Monkey Island.

I did not know that about Zip, but it's kind of hilarious. Really adds some to his character in the next trilogy.

I love it when Ink Ribbon takes the time to compile these fascinating secrets, lore and Easter egg TR videos. They make me appreciate Tomb Raider as a whole even more than I used to. Especially when I find out all this stuff I didn't know about the game years later. And the fact that half of the games little Easter eggs are based on real life stuff or in movies makes me love it more. Can we give this man a round of applause for doing this extensive research on this and making interesting videos for us? 👏

I love when you bring Tomb Raider to the channel, your unique way of bringing curiosities, facts and easter eggs usher amazing details on the game. Tomb Raider is my favorite franchise from the video games and along with Resident Evil, these were the first two experiences I had with PlayStation in the fifth generation, I was totally hooked up and fell in love after only had played on SNES and Sega Genesis. Chronicles is the easiest game on the classic series and it lacks the enchantment the previous entries had, but turn out being a good game, just the least inspired.

Loved Black Isle, was really creepy when I was young! I always felt bad for the creature in the water that gets trapped in the cage

I'm pretty sure that the whole Ireland level is a reference to the movie Sleepy Hollow. The undead horseman, the huge mill, the mystical tree...

I deeply love it. It was my 1st TR game

Crazy how Lara does crazy melee stuff in the demos. They need to do this in the games for real

In my old Chronicles CD case from back in the days was the level editor included. That one had a demo level where you start inside a pyramid (it shows pretty much all the stuff you can do with the editor). Goal of the level was to make it out of the pyramid and i always read that level as how Lara got out of TR4 alive.

I loved Chronicles; it really was the piece that tied everything together with classic Lara. It also had some of the greatest comedic moments. I'll never not laugh at Zip saying: "Lara! Lara! You broke??? Ahh, you ain't dead is you?!"

Chronicles is actually my favourite game. It was the first TR game i actually owned (on Dreamcast!) I had played bits of the others at my friend's growing up but didnt play it long enough to really get into it. So when I got Chronicles I absolutely loved it. Very nostalgic for me!🤩

17:17 I really like that little jingle. Despite the fact that we have no idea what does it mean or where it comes from. :)
