Imp

Imp^[1] or Little Demon is an enemy in Tomb Raider: Chronicles.

Strategy[]

Since young Lara doesn't have any weapons, the Imps must be avoided. They aren't a common enemy, one is in the Gallows Tree level, near the tree where the Hanged Demon appeared. The Imp is hidden inside a barrel near the well. It only comes out when getting too near the barrel.

A lot of Imps appear once the demon's heart has been placed in the correct location from the nearby tombs. Lara defeats them in a cinematic with an Iron Clapper. However, if she does not have the clapper, she is piled on by the imps, and moved away from the room she was in. Then she must avoid the imps to locate the Clapper to move on.

Two imps are in the Old Mill, near the rope. They are bit more aggressive and toss rocks at Lara, that do quite a lot damage. Lara must find a torch and light it, then throw the burning torch near the imps to distract them.

The rest of the imps near the old windmill are not dangerous and only appear in a cinematic. This time they are actually helpful to Lara, as they raise up the cage of the trapped Sea Hag. They do proceed to eat the Sea Hag afterwards.
