This is a Glitchless Secrets No Kills Run, where I have to complete the whole of Tomb Raider 2 while only performing mandatory kills, collecting all of the secrets and not using any glitches. In this video I complete The Great Wall, the first level of the China section and first level of the entire game. There were no mandatory kills in this level and I was successful with not killing any enemies who didn't need to be killed and therefore my number of kills begins at zero. I collected all of the secrets and didn't use any glitches.

During 2:03-4:27 I tried my best to lure away the crows and spiders in order to try and proceed while sustaining minimal health loss. Being on top the block at 4:59 is a safety spot from the enemies. I then shot the enemies with the intention of getting them to run off so that I could move the block while hopefully losing minimal health.

This is not my first Pacifist Challenge for a Tomb Raider game. In fact, I have done the following Pacifist Challenges for the following Tomb Raider games:

Good to see you back in the forums Greenapple. Weren't you going to do a pacifist run for the original Tomb Raider?

Nice!

Sorry to go off topic, but has anyone ever done an "all-kills" TR2 run? Tried to find one the other day but couldn't, but surely someone has?

At the beginning I tried luring the dogs away so that I could proceed with the first part of the level while hopefully not getting attacked by the dogs. The jump at 2:00 was a handy shortcut which also saved me from having to cross paths with another dog. Going onto the tile at 5:46 was all that was necessary for opening the door at the end of the level. By swimming under the door at 5:49 instead of exiting by going over the ramp the door at the end remained open permanently, saving me from a lot of trouble.

Thanks. I was going to do videos for Tomb Raider 1; I was going to complete the game while collecting all of the secrets, collecting every pickup, killing every enemy, only using the pistols, not using any glitches and keeping health loss low. However, I've decided to do this instead. Tomb Raider 1 videos are to be delayed until further notice.

Thanks. People have completed TR2 100%. This means completing the game while collecting every secret, collecting every pickup and killing every enemy. There are in fact 100% speedruns for this game; so abiding by those restrictions while also trying to complete the game as quickly as possible.

[deadmando9]

Ah, that explains why you're not doing the TR1 run. Have fun with TR 2.

Thanks - every 100% completion video I've seen so far doesn't do all the kills (the sharks at the start of 40 Fathoms for example) but I'll keep looking. I just want to see these guys perish for the anxiety they've caused me at the start of this level for the last 25 years.

At the beginning of the level I lured the rats and batsmen in such a way where I was able to enter through the door at 3:08 with one of the gunmen not becoming active due to the game only being able to have five active enemies at once. One of the gunmen was initially active but I shot him to make him run around instead of shooting at me. The tactics with the rats and batsmen enabled me to pull the switch at 3:38 and collect the items at 4:35 without any gunmen pursuing me. 4:05 was a safe spot from enemies, providing that the window didn't get broken. I managed to see off the dogs so that I was able to collect the items at 4:35 without taking damage. I then lured the dogs batsmen and rats towards the ladder that I grabbed at 5:59 in order for their to be five active enemies underneath me so that no gunmen were active at that point. I was then able to climb some of the ladder before a gunman became active and started shooting at me. At 7:23 I dropped down in a way where I didn't sustain health loss. 7:37 was a safe spot which enabled me to pull the switch at 8:43 without taking damage with the right techniques being used. I then returned to the safe spot and went about things in a way where I collected the silver secret without taking damage. The area at 10:22 was guaranteed to be a problem, and I had to really go around the houses in order to move the block at 10:48 and 10:55 while taking as little damage as realistically possible. The area at 11:35 certainly has the potential to make a nuisance of itself, but I shot the gunman accordingly to strengthen my chances of proceeding while hopefully not taking too much damage. I also dropped down to the Library Key at 12:59 in such a way where I didn't need to alter the positioning of the lights. The best way to leave this area was by jumping over the fire at 13:21 and down the trapdoor into the water. The last hurdle was the end of the level where I had to be cautious of the two gunmen, as well as the batsman. I chose not to pull up at 15:25 and to shimmy along instead because the gunmen can shoot at you when you are on that ledge. However, I shimmied along so that I would be safe when pulling up.

That's right, and thank you.

I'm not sure off the top of my head, but it's possible that there might be some enemies that can't be killed. If this is the case then I think that they would go by the rules of "kill every enemy that you are able to kill".

Absolutely loving these videos Greenapple968. Your precision is first class, nice work.

100% kills isn't possible as the eels in the Maria Doria levels are invincible.

I went about the jump at 1:40 in such a way where I didn't lose health from the fall. I tried to shoot the gunman at 2:49 as a way of making him run around, reducing the chances of him shooting at me but I didn't manage to get any shots at him. I did shoot a different gunman at 4:37 to make him run off, and this I was successful with. The drop at 4:52 was a handy shortcut, as was the jump at 5:36. I avoided going to the right at 6:00 to delay the triggering of a dog, although the dog was eventually triggered at 13:18.

I'm pleased to hear that you're liking these videos and thinking highly of them. Thank you.

I don't think that they would count though, considering that they aren't killable.
