Health Bar & Grab Bar (AoD)
The Health Bar (also known as Life Bar, Energy Bar or Power Bar) indicates how much life energy Lara has left. When it's depleted she dies. The Health Bar can be fully or partially restored by using Health Items to replenish it. Depending on the game reaching a certain checkpoint will also fully restore Lara's health. The appearance of the bar has stayed pretty much the same in most of the games.

There are a lot of things that can drain the Health Bar:

  • enemy attacks
  • traps
  • deep falls
  • gas exposure
  • no air under water
  • poison
  • ice water exposure

In Tomb Raider Underworld

In Tomb Raider Underworld the health bar looked rather different compared to earlier games. When Lara's health is very low, the bar replenishes itself to certain point. Also, by collecting Relics the player is able to increase the amount of health in the bar.
