Useful Bugs:

• Respawning Items - After completing the Bouchard's Hideout level, when you return to St. Aicard's Church and the Parisian Ghetto levels, all items will have respawned. So you can pick them up again. (This also includes the abandoned metro tunnels, accessible through the manholes in the Ghetto streets but technically part of the Bouchard's Hideout level.) See the walkthrough for additional details.
  
  
• Replenish Oxygen - While swimming underwater, or when exposed to toxic gas, save the game and reload. Lara's O₂ meter will be refilled. (I believe this only works in the PlayStation version of the game. You may want to save in a new slot in case it doesn't work.)
  
  
• Replenish Health - In the Parisian Ghetto and linked areas, where you move back and forth between levels, Lara's health bar is restored when a new level loads. This can be used to save medipacks. (As far as I know, this also only works in the PlayStation game.)
  
  
• Extra Respirators - In the Louvre Galleries level, you can get respirators from the locked cabinet in the workroom. Stand facing the cabinet, a bit left or right of center. Press Duck then quickly press Action and Lara will take a respirator through the locked door. Adjust her position and repeat twice more to get the other respirators. She'll still get one more at the normal time in the Galleries Under Siege, for a total of four. In addition to protecting her from toxic gas, respirators can be used like aqualungs, to extend Lara's air gauge under water.
  
  

Secret Unfinished Training Area - There is an inaccessible area in the first level, Parisian Backstreets, which can only be reached by cheating. This was apparently intended to be a continuation of the training area at the start of the level but was never included in the final release. For more information, see this page.

PC/Macintosh Cheats & Trainers: I'm not aware of any of the usual cheat codes for this game. However, you can enable certain cheat keys which the developers used in debugging the game, such as all-weapons (including dual pistols), flying and god mode. These debug keys can be unlocked using a setup utility or by entering command line parameters.

For Windows PC: tombraiderchronicles.com offers the Tomb Raider AOD Setup Configuration Utility (TRAODSCU), a program used activate debug keys, among other things. Or, the keys can be enabled without using a separate program by following the instructions in my walkthrough.

For Macintosh: MacRaider offers a god-mode cheat for Macintosh, as well as other useful tips.

If you are stuck and just want to get past a certain spot, you can download a savegame file for PC or Mac. Instructions for using savegame files are linked from that page.

PlayStation 2 Level Skip: While playing, choose the Load Game option and highlight any save file. Then press R2 + SQUARE. Exit the inventory screen and the level should complete automatically.

PlayStation 2 Level Select: Press Start to pause the game. Hold L1 + R2 + Down + Triangle (all together). Release and then press the following buttons in rapid sequence: Circle, Up, Square, Triangle, Right, Down. If it doesn't work the first time, un-pause the game, then re-pause and try again. When the code is entered correctly, this unlocks the Skip Level and Level Select options on the Start menu. These should remain available for the rest of the game.

IMPORTANT: Some people have told me that this code doesn't work. I don't have a PlayStation to test it, but more than a dozen raiders have contacted me to confirm that it does work, but only if you enter the code quickly and smoothly, beginning as soon as you press Start and continuing without hesitating between button presses. One player suggests pressing down the first part of the sequence (L1 + R2 + Down + Triangle) all at the exact same time, then releasing them right away and immediately going into the other sequence of buttons. It may also help to only try the sequence once each time you pause the game (i.e., if it doesn't work, un-pause, pause again, then try the code again).

Note: The level select menu does not include the actual titles of any of the levels. The following are the level select choices with the corresponding level locations.
