- I've put together all in one video every Easter egg, references, and anything you might not have known, even decades later.
I've searched the internet and played through the entire game to validate each one the best I could. I can't take credit for a lot of these, I merely pooled together as many Easter Eggs into one video. Some pointers may not be classed as anything of the above, but were included as a point of interest.

the scene where lara escapes the dragons lair, right where the explosion is rushing out behind her. That's where she learns how to sprint like you do in tr3, it just couldn't be implemented into the game because of the hardware
love watching anything related to classic TR , subbed!
Thanks for the sub, Ultraviolent👍👍
Terrific Job Dude love your references channel
I also found many movie refs myself.
At the end of Temple of Xian when Marco stabs the dagger in his heart you can hear the same music from the sacrfice/heartrip scene in Temple of the Doom. Both protagonist fight also a maniac cult. Another one from this film is the plane crash scene when Indy/Lara have to jump out.
Another reference is from Mad Max: The Road Warrior when Lara is chased by the cultmembers in the Snow, she shoots exactly backwards like Max in the final chase with the same impact.
The Swimming Islands are reffering to The Golden Child with Eddie Murphy were a dagger plays also an important role with the same Tibet setting. He has to pass also a similar room like the swimming Islands are.
The snowmobile chase might be based on Die Hard 2.
The shark part with the sea based setting and using a harpoon as weapon could be inspired from James Bond's License to kill.
Thanks, Antonio De Simone, I'm glad you like the videos 😄 They're all very cool references, especially the Temple of Doom stuff you mentioned. 👍
First ps1 game I ever played, my uncle bought thos game for me and on the build up to my birthday before I got my ps1, me and my best friend used to sit on the front door step and read the manual every night in anticipation for when we could play. Once we could play we realised the game was to hard for our 10 year old boy brains.
I was 10 years old when I played the first TR game, and yeah... they were hard👍😆
😁
1:09 Cool! Usually you need just press the button and hurry up getting back to the secret door. So, I've never paid my attention to these statues. I thought I knew everything about TR2. Great to know new references in such an old game!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Eugene Gubanov👍 It's always fun to go back and play these older games and discover new things.
Some incredibly cool stuff here that I didn't previously know about one of my fave games ever, subbed, can't wait to see more!
Thanks for the sub, Joe Ree, appreciate that👍 glad you enjoyed the vid😀
at 4:37, the image on the plane is from the movie Barbarella
on the wreck of Maria Dorea with the room with the glass floor and pont there is a baddie with a red cap. On the rear side it has the name "joss". It is a reference to Joss Charmet, an animator for TR1, TR2 and TR3 according to Tomb Raider Forums.
The crashing of the plane (CRASH FMV) came from Indiana Jones and the temple of Doom. As a result of no gas on the plane.
In the cutscene when Marco Bartolli stapes himself with the dagger, there is a sound played backwards from the Indiana Jones movie.
The intro FMV of TR2, contains sounds of the movies Braveheart.
If you complete TR2 golden mask in Windows registry is a key with RJF = 150868. With is Richard J. Flower, 15 august 1968.
I could give you links to the articles on Tomb Raider Forums, but youtube won't let me :(
Good 👍🙂
some new info :)
My favourite TR Game still up to this date 🙂
I was 13, when it came out in 1997 and I first played it :)
So many memories ;)
TR 2 was the first game in the series I completed when I borrowed it from a friend. Then I bought the first one and the rest was
history 🙂
Its much easier running past the T-rexes than trying to fight them
Hey CZcams! Another great content creator who need some of your algorithms!
Hey, thanks, Boleklolo for the cool comment😀 that means a lot👍glad you enjoyed the vid.
I haven’t noticed/know a lot of these, thank you!!!
You're welcome👍 I'm glad you enjoyed the video😀
The amount of detailed art put into this game is bigger than any modern day games
Hi, the Judith and Shelley mix was stated in TR Fandom but its nice to see/hear it clarified on video. And the handstand why its a joke? Its mostly a recognition, cause it looks cool, the only way it jusrify it as a joke would be it is an animation without any purpose/effect ingame idk. Anyway, great vid, love TR2, thank you🎉
A truly horrifying little fact about TR2: the PS1 original version retains an unfixed bug in all its versions (Greatest Hits & Platinum too). One of the secret jade dragons kills you. After obtaining it, slowly and carefully descending a ledge with broken glass with you an insta-death. The only way out is doing a non-running jump. You will lose a sliver of health, and there is no other way. PC port fixes this.
Makes me want to play it again
7:00 Bugs Bunny is a throwback to Illuminatus! book trilogy

Awesome video 😎🤘🏻
Thanks again, SOUL REAVER 83 🙂 You like the Tomb Raider games too? You've got good taste in games👍 Even Soul Reaver was one of the best games to come out in the late 90's.
@@SalopianGamer Thanks dude i do indeed i love all the playstation 1 games Tomb Raider Soul Reaver Syphon Filter Castlevania Symphony of the night all outstanding classics!😎👍🏻👍🏻
The hand stand animation has it purpuse, you can saefly climb to placec with spikes with no health lost, many seacrets wher digned to be accesed only in this this way.
Thanks for that, Karol Golacik. I'm starting Tomb Raider the Last Revelation this week and you've just given me a reason to use the handstand a lot more👍👍😀
Wait, that's super interesting but I don't think I can remember a secret like that... do you have any example? I'm very curious about this
🤔
@@CarloruggeroAnastasio tomb raider 2 the deck jadeit dragon
@@Jasminka29 hey thanks but you can actually climb up there regularly with no damage 🤔

You missed the Swan dive!
Love the video love the tomb raider videos, however glitches are not Easter eggs or secrets
Thank you, Forgotten Era, glad you liked the vid🙂and yeah, glitches are neither, but they do fall under the Points of Interest category. Though I tend to avoid game glitches mostly, I'll include any ones worth mentioning👍
Any chance you would do the Harry Potter games on the ps1?
I don't know about those, Kxtty, I never played the Harry Potter games, but never say never. I'm in the middle of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation. A lot of people seem interested in my Tomb Raider vids over others right now, so I'm going to follow up with Chronicles.🙂
I'm just curious, what is the name of the song that plays at the very beginning of the video. If anyone can tell me please do.
It's either known as Tomb Raider 2 Snowmobile theme or Tomb Raider 2 Skidoo... I think.
@@SalopianGamer Thank you!
