Occurrence

Tomb Raider Underworld

Enemy Type regular enemy
Classification Human

The Poachers are enemies making their first, and to date only, appearance in Tomb Raider Underworld. Lara will meet them throughout the first levels located in Mexico. They will be occupied by Black Panthers, so that will give Lara time explore the surrounding area. They are responsible for some of the traps in the area, having dug spike riddled pits to traps the jaguars they are hunting.


This area is the most rural and lawless region of Mexico, remote enough that some of its farmers do not even speak Spanish, but Mayan. Far enough away that heavily armed men have moved in to poach the protected black panthers, or more precisely, melanistic jaguars. The poachers have dug pit traps and must drive panthers here from throughout the surrounding area, unaware that the scattered ancient ruins here are only a hint of what lies beneath.

Strategy

If Lara approaches a Poacher, they will attack her by all means, however, if there is a jaguar nearby he will get in a bit of a "cat-fight" with the animal and ignore her. That gives her time to flee or attack.

The fact that they have no defence item is good, so they always stay offensive with their moves. When they are firing, they come to a standstill, giving Lara time to take aim. He often prefers attacking panthers, to attacking Lara. They don't have any particular strengths.
