Occurrence
Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation
The first time this trap is seen is in Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation. Here it is called Slicer Dicer.
- This trap is optional, as it is guarding the eleventh secret of the game.
Custom Levels
As with any Last Revelation trap this one can also be found throughout many Custom Levels.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend
It appears in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend in the level Bolivia - Tiwanaku.
When Lara first encounters this trap, it seems there is nothing there other than a simple walkway, but when nearing the trap, the rock slides open up, revealing rotating spikes. Lara can first kick the rocks available there in order to see what happens.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary
In Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary this contraption is not a trap for Lara, but a helper in her fight against the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Lara has to tempt the T-Rex into running against these unmoving spiked rollers to cause quite a lot of damage to the giant dinosaur.
Tomb Raider: Underworld
In the Jan Mayen Island level of Tomb Raider: Underworld the rotating spikes trap is seen, but is configured and looks completely different. The player must swing on a horizontal pole then stand on top and from this position Lara can make it over.
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
In Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris this trap occurs quite often. It is simple enough to overcome by either jumping over it, or rolling underneath. With the correct timing this should do the trick.
- The first occurrence of the spiked roller is in the first level, Pyramid of Osiris. After hurrying across a bridge caused to collapse by Ammit, Lara reaches a passage with this trap. She can easily jump over it.
Lara Croft: Relic Run
In Lara Croft: Relic Run this trap is found in the Desert Ruins level. This trap doesn't occur very often. Lara has to jump over it or slide under it, to avoid the trap.
