Tomb Raider 4 - Hot Pants
Because of TR4's multi-layered format, it's hard to give precise
directions to this bizarre egg (or bug). As you play, just keep in mind
it's in CATACOMBS, which you'll eventually access via a crawl space
protected by a hanging boulder trap at the bottom of an outdoor pit in
the Alexandrian ruins where Lara first meets the skeleton warriors.
Before climbing into the crawl space, pick up the torch/stick you find
laying on the ground in the pit and light it at the fire in the pit's
alcove. Using a series of jumps and tosses, throw the lit torch
into/through the crawl space, etc. The idea is to have it with you when
you reach an apparent dead end: a small empty room containing only a
shallow pit in the center and a moveable pillar against a far wall. Once
inside this room, simply throw the torch anywhere and it'll turn into a
flaming, floating apparition of Lara's sexy hot pants. You can even pick
it up (in which case it returns to a torch) and throw it again and again
and again, always with the same result.


The level makers had some fun, didn't they?

This sounds so cool, I'm definitely going to give this one a try :)

I ran into this one the first time I played the game. I figured I'd
*need* the torch going down that tunnel. It is a bit of a pain to get
it there. In that small room, I threw it onto the depression hoping
something would happen.

I'd heard this classified as a "bug", but it does seem deliberate.
