Tomb Raider: Underworld Save Files

Get a grip! Download a Tomb Raider savegame file.

These Windows PC save files were made using the North American DVD version of the game patched to version 1.1. As far as I know, they are compatible with other DVD versions, whether patched or unpatched, and according to my sources they work with the Macintosh version as well. I don't know if they're compatible with the Direct2Drive, Steam or GameTap downloads.

Click on the name of each level to download a collection of saves for it. Click here for Windows installation instructions or Macintosh instructions. (These are also included in a text file with each download.) You'll also find a few individual save files linked to particularly difficult sections in the walkthrough.

Miscellaneous PC/Mac Saves

Treasure Hunt - All Rewards Unlocked - Game Complete. First checkpoint in Mediterranean in Treasure Hunt mode. Use the menu in Lara's PDA to change levels.

Level Start Autosaves - A collection of autosave files for the beginning of each level in the game. All treasures and relics found, normal difficulty level.

Because Wii save slots are limited, I have not made a complete set of saves for all checkpoints. However, I have included several save files for each level, including checkpoints following particularly difficult and/or buggy spots. Each download includes a text file describing the location of each save, plus instructions for transferring the files to the Wii.

Step-by-step instructions for transferring Wii saves can also be found here.

The following files were made with the North American (NTSC) format game. These will not work with European (PAL) format consoles. PAL saves follow. If you're not sure which regional format you have, check the country lists on the Wikipedia NTSC and PAL pages.

Level 1: Mediterranean Sea
Level 2: Coastal Thailand
Level 3: Croft Manor
Level 4: Southern Mexico
Level 5: Jan Mayen Island
Level 6: Andaman Sea
Level 7: Arctic Sea

Treasure Hunt (Game complete. Use the menu in Lara's PDA to change levels.)

The following files were made with the European (PAL) format game. These will not work with North American (NTSC) consoles. If you're not sure which regional format you have, check the country lists on the Wikipedia NTSC and PAL pages.

Level 1: Mediterranean Sea
Level 2: Coastal Thailand
Level 3: Croft Manor
Level 4: Southern Mexico
Level 5: Jan Mayen Island
Level 6: Andaman Sea
Level 7: Arctic Sea

Treasure Hunt (Game complete. Use the menu in Lara's PDA to change levels.)

IMPORTANT: Most of the PAL saves in the list above (Mediterranean through Mexico) were made during a second play-through of the game in Treasure Hunt mode. Consequently, most treasures have already been picked up. If anyone would like to contribute a set of saves from the first play-through, I would be happy to host them.

European (PAL) Format Level Starts - The following files include the first checkpoint in each level, saved on a first pass through the game, so all of the treasures are still available.

Level 1: Mediterranean Sea - First checkpoint in Niflheim, The Norse Connection, God of Thunder and Realm of the Dead

Level 2: Coastal Thailand - First checkpoint in The Remnants, Bhogavati, The Ancient World and A Puppet No Longer

Level 3: Croft Manor - First checkpoint included with Mexico saves (below)

Level 4: Southern Mexico - First checkpoint The Unnamed Days, Xibalba and Land of the Dead

Level 5: Jan Mayen Island - First checkpoint in Gate of the Dead and Valhalla

Level 6: Andaman Sea - First checkpoint included with Jan Mayen saves (above)

Level 7: Arctic Sea - First checkpoint in Helheim, Yggdrasil and Out of Time

Special thanks to Sim C. and Ian N. for the PAL Wii saves.

Instructions for transferring PS3 saves can be found on GameFAQs.com. Be sure to download the file format (PAL or NTSC) that matches your console. If you're not sure which regional format you have, check the country lists on the Wikipedia NTSC and PALpages.

IMPORTANT: The PS3 version of Underworld was originally released without Trophy support. At that time, save files were transferrable. Once trophies were added, in May 2009, the saves were locked to the user profile to prevent cheating. In order for these saves to work, you must use the original game installation. If you have already downloaded the update, try deleting all the game data, including the patch, (be sure to back up your files on a memory card first, just in case!), restart the game offline so the patch doesn't download, install one of these saves, load it and then save the game under your own profile. Now you should be able to go back online, download the patch and continue normally.

to the best of my knowledge, the Tomb Raider Trilogy version is the patched game and consequently does not allow players to share saves. I don't own a PS3, though, so I have not experimented with this. If you know otherwise, please tell me.

If you'd like to donate other PS3 save files, I'd be grateful. Or, if you know of other sources, I would be happy to include links to them here. Thanks to Treeble, Rey, Rachel, Rod, Jun and Vinicius Bones for sharing these files, and to Love2Raid, Paul G. and Simon M. for helping to troubleshoot the PS3 save error.
