	The Times Expedition -- General Hints
	1. KNOW THE TRICKS	The Times Expedition isn't an "expert" level. In fact, this level is a good introduction to the features in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. For this reason, we don't have any general hints for you. However we do have a little general advice for you if this level is your first exposure to the Tomb Raider series of games. Take your time as you work your way through this level. Examine your surroundings, as subtle clues to what you need to do at each step are carefully laid out. Players who are familar with Tomb Raider games will find this to be a great introduction to the latest game engine.
	1. KNOW THE WEAPONS	The weapons you will find in this level are the same as the weapons that can be found in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, so we direct your attention to our General Hints for that game. However, you will only find the shotgun, crossbow and revolver in this level.
	1. KNOW THE ENEMIES	We have provided a list of the enemies you will encounter in this level and a brief description of how to best deal with them.
		Red Scorpions	The first creatures you will encounter in this level are red scorpions. These scorpions are not poisonous and inflict only minor damage, but they become hard to kill when they start snapping at your heels. They can be taken out quite readily with pistol fire so long as you take them out as soon as you spot them.
		Jackals	You will also encounter these black jackals adorned with gold jewelery. They generally attack in packs so if you can find somewhere safe to stand to take shots at them so much the better. If you find that they have ganged up on you, a blast with the shotgun at close range will make short work of them.
		Mummies	About halfway through the level you will encounter a few mummies. These shambling undead corpses are slow but completely unaffected by non-explosive ammunition. Unfortunately for you, there will be no explosive ammunition to be found in ths level. Your only recourse is to out-run them. They don't climb up or drop off ledges, so you are completely safe from their punches if you can find a safe place to go.
		Crocodiles	Finally, you will encounter a few crocodiles in this level. They're not hard to kill and are particularly succeptable to shotgun shells. However, one feature of crocodiles in this latest game is that they will climb out of the water to attack you on dry land if there is an available ramp to climb out of. You should be able to take them out if you train your pistols on them and fire unceasingly until they curl up and die. You may have to take an evasive jump or two as necessary.
