Tomb Raider Remastered cheats list
Below you’ll find a list of all Tomb Raider Remastered cheats. The cheats must be entered with the Classic Control scheme, but you can revert back to Modern Controls after enabling them.
It’s important to note also that while cheats are available across all games in the Remastered collection, the inputs differ depending on which game you’re playing.
For instance, the level skip cheat for the remastered version of the original Tomb Raider has different inputs for the sequels.

Maximum health cheat for Tomb Raider Remastered
Struggling to get past any of the bosses in Tomb Raider 3? There’s a cheat you can use in the Remastered version which gives you maximum health.
The maximum health cheat requires you to input a series of commands with your controller’s shoulder buttons. Make sure you do this while exploring a level, and not on a menu screen.
Here are the needed inputs for each platform:

| PlayStation | R2, R2, L2, R2, L2, L2, L2, L2, L2, L2, R2, L2, L2, L2, R2, L2, L2, L2, L2, L2 |

Do cheats disable trophies and achievements?
If you use cheats in Tomb Raider Remastered it will block the ability to earn trophies and achievements. If you don’t like the sound of this, then it’s best to create a separate save file which you only use for cheats.
This will let you try out cheats in one save, and earn achievements in another – like the tongue in cheek trophy that’s available for locking the butler in the freezer.
