Tomb Raider 2 Speedrun - The Dragon's Lair

[maestroAlucard]

Of course, it falls apart. First a pyrimid now a secret temple with floating islands

[maestroAlucard]

Oh yes of course it falls apart. First some pyrimid now a secret hidden supernatural chinese city with floating islands.of course shes gonna break it

[9keith1]

this is the most I've seen you shoot your enemies, from one Tomb Raider to Another you did very well no improvements needed AWESOME! great videos

[KT926]

I can finish this level in 3:40

Use the grenade launcher for the statues that haven't come to life yet and uzis for the men, grenade launcher 4 the dragon

[MazziEllen]

Anyone notice that those knifes look like computer cursors?

[Zachaaaaa]

Wow, Lara sure has alot of pistol ammo XD

[JohnnyRockerman]

Is it me or does it seem like when you are right in front of the dragon, he wont breathe fire? Or was that a coincidence?

[Locke217]

ever done it with no medipacks? xD

[RadxxRyan]

Nope. I probably could but it wouldn't be as fast as this since I'd have to kill more things.

[GreenApple968]

You would complete the game so much quicker if you had better guns than pistols.

[RadxxRyan]

Yeah but I purposely did the whole run with just Pistols.

[MrFingerbun]

RadxxRyan your vidoes are so cool i watch them everyday. Keep on raiding

[duckbilled123]

Damn, these guys can sustain a remarkable amount of gunshots to the face

[BrownHairedLaad]

tomb raider 3 was sooooooo scary.....

[lovedolars]

What !? You done TR1 speedrun?! Well after i finish with watching TR2 im going to watch TR1 cuz i just looove ur speedruns, they RoCk! ;D

Like always.

[Matt13789]

Hey RadxxRyan, I was watching your floating Islands speed run and this. Needless to say I am very amazed by your skills. I can't imagine how long it took you to do these, but awesome job man.

[BlackSilveDemonRose]

I just kill the big stick people when they are still frozen so I dont have to fight them when they can move.

[Emm3mmE]

Y'know, to speed this up you could just shoot them with a grenade launcher while they're frozen. =)

About three times should do the trick, shoot them while they're alive is more time consuming. :P

[RadxxRyan]

I know, I just chose to do the levels using just pistols.

[Emm3mmE]

Ah, I see.

What a tradition that is. :P

[JVlapleBoii]

I like Lara's pistols o-o

They are so epic, i always use them too O_O

[SuperSeenith]

Horror elements are something that the new TR games have forgotten about entirely. Don't get me wrong, Legend and Anniv. are really awesome, but they aren't scary(i was scared s***less playing this level.)

[Emm3mmE]

ROFL, I know what you mean dude. The older TR games scared me so bad. People would pop out of no where and all that stuff...oi.

[ramen38]

I think part of it is the realism in the newer games overshadowing the surrealism in the older games, mostly due to better visuals

[rachie4294]

Only using Pistols? Your kinda crazy, and its also a great challenge for yourself. I applaude you!

BTW; if i was doing this, i would have turned the game off after the 4th Level xD

[ashminangel]

there is a another cheat you know you could do it is: when the things.. are statue just shot at them with Boom Rocket its a very easy cheat u know!

[RadxxRyan]

Yes I've seen that but this run was done using just the pistols.

[liontamer789]

you should make your runs into a DVD your so good.

ps: the lava in this game is the best looking TR lava ;p

[lugiamew1]

yeah a lizard that breathes fire, that's what it is. I mean really, if a dragon without wings EVER existed, you're dead and in hell. Besides, why would Marco want to turn into a giant lizard his whole life? It's much better to be a flyer.

[brutaka358]

It's a dragon man.

[TheCosmoMurphy]

@lugiamew1 its obviously a dragon it says that the dagger turns the person into a dragon when its driven its his heart mayb he has wings but just didnt use them yet becoz the room was too small for him

[Ramirez118]

coulnt you have used a better gun for the killing parts?

[RadxxRyan]

I did the whole game with just pistols. It was a 'rule' i went by for a challenge.

[laser198392]

what are those dudes throwing at you? and you are a total genius!

[lugiamew1]

I looked at those things, and they're either knives, or they infiltrated the naruto universe and stole some kunai.

[laser198392]

lol!!!

[rachie4294]

GO KUNAI!

[mwingserver]

I GOT THIS LEVEL IN 2:22 HOW IS THAT

[RadxxRyan]

nice

[sthebg20]

Holy crap it looked like the fire would catch you a couple of times!!!I was afraid I'd see you burst in flames, but then again you would not upload that lol.

[RadxxRyan]

lol i was extremely lucky.

[lugiamew1]

that is no dragon. it would be a giant lizard! it had no wings, and that's why.

[wachol4s]

a lizard that spits fire?

[RadxxRyan]

lol its definetly a dragon lugiamew1

[michaelthonger]

Great game! It's hard to believe with today's next gen graphics that seeing lara's knee joint's was once acceptable. Best gaming series ever!!!

[Alianger]

good job! didnt know it was pistols only.

[Bendzsi93]

Holy fucking shit

[RadxxRyan]

Sorry bro, this was a pistol only run. Meaning this whole game was done with pistols. Kinda dumb i know but i wanted to give myself an extra challenge.

[ChrisJamesNewby]

yeh its much better, tht wud just be the safe option for me anyways lol

[ChrisJamesNewby]

wen i did this level once, i went under water and then came back up and the dragon got stuck behind 1 of the pillars. lol it made this battle so easy

[RadxxRyan]

haha yea ive done that before but i thought jumping side to side would be faster and would look cooler on video :)

[madslasher999]

i beat this dude with the pistols ther my fab weapons i beat the 3 drags on tr 5 wiv pistols i killed boss on number 3 now radxx ty for tips i didnt need the desert eagle i used pistols after about 60 trys lol

[senetiinsanity]

You are amazing. You didn't even get toasted once. Did you know that there is a safe spot behind one of the pillars?

[RadxxRyan]

Yeah but i felt jumping side to side was faster lol

[senetiinsanity]

*lol* Alright, I won't argue with the God of Speedruns =) although you will have to share the title with MMAN2 ^^

[RadxxRyan]

yes he is amazing. I'm sorta new to speedrunning lol i've only been doing it since last march.

[madslasher999]

k ty

[madslasher999]

i av got evry tomb raider completed evry1 except 3 i cant b the dam boss any tips? anyway gr8 vid :-)

[RadxxRyan]

my advice would be to make sure you have plenty of ammo especially for the desert eagle. Make sure to keep out of his range so he can't attack you and just keep firing at him, as soon as he drops sprint for one of the artifacts and repeat the process until you have all artifacts then bring him down one final time. Its hard but keep practicing and you'll get it. I'll be doing a speedrun of that level since im working on TR3 right now.

[GeorgieTheFool]

Me too! When I finished Legend I was humiliated, never

have I played a game as short as this! But I love

Anniversary, took me ages to kill the T-Rex! But I

find it's small arms adorable lol.

My fave Classic TR is TR3 and TR5 Love 'em!

[hotla101]

So what would be ur favorite Tomb Raiders about from

Legend and Anniversary?

[RadxxRyan]

I'd have to say Anniversary. Legend was good, but too short and the final boss was way too easy. I have a ninentdo wii and i'm going to get the wii version of anniversary when it comes out in the fall.

[RockAgamo]

Awesome run, Ryan.

[utterrandomness]

Lol! Great Run!

[thetombraider1]

OMG I hate those guys throwing knives at u!!!!

[thetombraider1]

I've been looking in all kinds of stores and can't seem to find it anywhere.

[RadxxRyan]

yeah, i've had it since 1999 lol its pretty scratched up but works fine. Your best bet would be something like amazon (I got TR2 and the gold version for PC there for $10) or Ebay would work. I think in stores they only sell Legend and Anniversary now so online is probably your best bet.

[thetombraider1]

Hey this is playstation!

[RadxxRyan]

yep.
