The Common Spike Trap is a basic Trap made out of Spikes found throughout many of the Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Games, often in form of a Spike Pit.

Most often the common spike trap is found as a floor trap, where the spikes are simply protruding from the ground. These can be hidden, ready to shoot out when Lara steps onto the area.

In seldom cases these spikes can protrude from the ceiling or the walls.

Occurrence

In some cases, in the Classic Tomb Raider Games, to avoid getting hurt, Lara can walk through the spikes and emerge unscathed. But if she falls in the spikes, Lara will instantly die as the spikes impale her.

Floor Spikes (Relic Run)

In Lara Croft: Relic Run, the floor spikes retract and extend in regular intervals. That doesn't mean however that it is safe to run through them. Running through or jumping into them is always deadly. The best method to conquer them is to either avoid them by changing lanes or by jumping over them with perfect timing.
