All Elementals are immune to attacks, but they all have weaknesses you can use to destroy them. Unlike other elementals, Air Elementals are not destroyed by water, but through the Isis Statue. If they touch you they will damage you, so once released find the nearest Isis Statue and stand next to it to rid yourself of this dangerous pest.

Size: Small
Danger: Medium-Low
Recommended Weapon: Automatic Pistols
Levels found in: Burial Chambers, Tomb of Semerkhet

Even though they look meaner, they are really no different than wild dogs. When it is just one or two of them the Automatic Pistols will normally be fine, but when in larger packs you may need heavier weapons.

Levels found in: The Great Hypostyle Hall 2, Desert Railroad

Much like the henchmen, these goons go where Von Croy does, only they are far more annoying. Expect a flurry of melee attacks, impressive acrobatics, and an ability to deflect bullets with their swords. They also fire guns in rare occasions. In open area, use Automatic Pistols, in close combat, use the shotgun or Uzi. When they are deflecting bullets by spinning their sword, turn away so they lower their defence, then resume your attack.

Bats are by far on of the most annoying enemies in the game. They are small, they are very fast moving, and the tend to work in pairs or larger groups. If you prefer playing the game without automatic aiming, these little pests will be even more of a thorn in your side. Thankfully they fall quickly with your automatic pistols.

Unlike the red scorpion found earlier in the game, this thing is annoyingly nasty! It doesn't do very much immediate damage, but it instead poisons Lara which will most noticably messes with her vision, but also does continuous damage until she takes a Medipack (any size will do). Thankfully they can be easily killed with a few shots from your automatic pistols.

Size: Medium
Danger: Medium
Recommended Weapon: Shotgun / Automatic Pistols
Levels found in: Sacred Lake, Temple of Karnak 2

These beasts are surprisingly quick on land, and their bite will take a massive chunk of your health. Most times you will want to quickly kill them with two shots from your Shotgun, but in open places, wherever you have enough room to manoeuver and jump around, Automatic Pistols should do the job.

All Elementals are immune to attacks, but they all have weaknesses you can use to destroy them. Fire Elementals are destroyed by water. This means that if they contact water they will die, even if it's just a shallow pool. They also hate Ice Elementals to the point of mutually assured destruction. If they hit you, there is a good chance you will catch on fire.

Size: Large
Danger: Medium-High
Recommended Weapon: None
Levels found in: Guardian of Semerkhet

Yet another creature that can't be killed through conventional means. Thankfully he isn't all that deadly. All its attacks involve ramming you, so just dodge by jumping to the side. If you time your jumps well, you can even get this bull to break things by making him ram into them.

Size: Medium
Danger: Medium
Recommended Weapon: Automatic Pistols, Jeep
Levels found in: Valley of the Kings, KV5, Temple of Karnak 2, Alexandria

These are your first enemies with guns in the game, so expect a little difficulty at first. While two shots from the shotgun will take these guys out, they can still be easily dispatched with your pistols. Their primary weapon is the Uzi, but they use a Sword when in melee range. To save health and ammo, rush them while constantly firing your pistols, so they switch to their swords. If you're in the Jeep, just run them over!

All Elementals are immune to attacks, but they all have weaknesses you can use to destroy them. Ice Elementals are destroyed by water as they will freeze it. If one chases you, finds some water for it to die in. They also hate Fire Elementals to the point of mutually assured destruction. Unlike Fire Elementals, you will only take damage when they pass through you.

Unlike most enemies in the game, there is no way to kill Mummies. You can knock them down with heavier weapons, but they will just get right back up after a few seconds. Only thing you can do is to stay out of their reach. Thankfully they are slow.

The Red Scorpion is normally found in sandy areas of the game, often hinding in shallow pits. While their sting is not poisonous, when attacking in groups they can still quickly kill. Don't waste any precious ammo on these insects; just a few shots with a your automatic pistol will take them down.

If you've ever watched movies such as The Mummy, you know how dangerous Ancient Egyptian Scarabs apparently were. One is bad, a swarm will eat the flesh off your bones in seconds. There is no way to kill them, just get away as fast as you can, jumping as you go, and be thankful that they can't climb. They can jump small steps, though.

Size: Medium
Danger: Medium
Recommended Weapon: Grenades, Crossbow Explosive Ammo
Levels found in: Coastal Ruins

These undead creatures are immune to all but explosive weapons. Their head can be shot off with a well timed LaserSight, but that only makes them run away. Since they're melee attackers, just keep out of the range of their swing and blast them back to oblivion.

Size: Small
Danger: Low
Recommended Weapon: None
Levels found in: Ankor Wat, Race for the Iris

When you encounter these less than cute boars you won't have a single weapon on you. Just lure them to your mentor and he will take care of them... eventually.

Danger: Medium-Low
Recommended Weapon: Automatic Pistols
Levels found in: The Tomb of Seth

These aren't your kind fluffy friendly pets that are just begging to get their bellies scratched. Wild dogs are mean when alone and just nasty in packs. When it is just one or two of them the Automatic Pistols will normally be fine, but when in larger packs you may need heavier weapons.
