The Spike Pit, also Spear Pit, is a variation of the Common Spike Trap found throughout the Tomb Raider Games and first occurring in the original Tomb Raider. In contrast to the common spike trap this trap consists of a pit containing Floor Spikes, making it fundamentally different from a player's point of view.
