Guide on how to have duals without near-infinite ammo on PC for AOD.

I wouldn't mind save files either. One for the first set of levels and one for the second. I can deal with losing all my collected stuff as it's practically canon for Lara to lose all her stuff anyway.

I'll look into that.

The Invent method allows the player to take as much spare vector/Scorpion X ammo as they want considering how rare ammo for them usually is.

The problem is the second set of levels though.

There's no way to save on Von Croy's Apartment with the duals since finishing Galleries under siege strips Lara of weapons, and using Invent means the player has to skip a level.


I guess I could share a save for Monstrum Crime scene with all the pick-ups collected in the apartment level instead, so once you finish Von Croy's Apartment and see the intro cutscene for Crime Scene you can just load the save.

Any suggestions for a site to upload these saves to?

There's going to be two.

Backstreets save: Dual Vectors loaded with 4 extra Darts for the SS (since you normally only get 3 shots for it in the entire game.) as an extra.

Crime Scene Save:The Periapt Shard from the Lovure, Von Croy's Notebook, Enough money to buy the Scorpion-X from Luddick, Dual and single Vector's, both loaded with 4 spare magazines, dual scorpion-X loaded with a single spare reload, as well as the items from Von Croy's apartment.

I've got them both created, I just need a site to host them on.

You could try mega upload or if you have google you can host them in Google drive.

Forgot Google Drive was a thing.

Well, here they are then, just drop 'em in your AOD saves slots.

A simple way, even if you do lose your items.

If there are somehow any issues with the save files (there shouldn't be, as I haven't entered/completed any levels that have scripts when they start, such as the apartment or when they end like the first level.) then let me know and I'll try to fix it.
If all works fine, tell me also because I don't want to accidentally have saves that aren't possible to finish the game with.

Thanks, all seems to work fine.

Just figured I'd say, if any of you guys host any sites with TR save games, feel free to include these two saves so that others can experience AOD with duals.

[Samz]

Anyone think I should ask Stella if she'd like to include my save games as downloads in the saves section of AOD?

Since a good few people (including myself) use her walkthroughs, it'd help get the savegames out for people to experience AOD with duals.

Don't wanna waste her time if she wouldn't be interested.

Updated since it turns out using the CONFIG Notepad file is unneeded.

All you need is the SCU, which also makes it simpler and removes a decent amount of steps.
