The Crowbar is a very useful pickup and a tool in Tomb Raider III, The Last Revelation, Tomb Raider Chronicles and The Angel of Darkness. In the Reboot games (Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider), a new gear item, the Climbing Axe will on occasion serve as pry tool. Further in the Rise of the Tomb Raider DLC Blood Ties Lara will find an actual crowbar.
The crowbar can be used to pry open doors and wardrobes or to pry out artefacts and other pickups that are stuck in a wall. Also, in The Last Revelation the Crowbar can be used to replace a handle of a special Lever Switch, the Crowbar Switch.
