Types of Mixtures
There are three kinds of Mixtures: Focus, Perception, and Endurance. Focus Mixtures can be used to slow down time during battle, as long as Lara is aiming her weapon. Perception Mixtures enable Lara to see special objects in her surroundings even when not using Survival Instincts. When using Endurance Mixtures Lara can withstand more injuries. Furthermore, Lara can use the Healing properties of some of the Medicinal Plants she finds in the jungle as Medicine.
