PLOT
EGYPT - Present Day
Lara moves across an unforgiving desert, on camel, a guide by her side.
She halts at a small rocky outcrop, dismounts and activates an ancient mechanism, revealing what appears to be a virgin tomb...
Upon her later escape, Lara's guide attempts to double cross her and steal an artefact she has taken from the tomb. She outwits him and he flees.
Anxious to discover who her latest enemy is, Lara pursues the guide but runs into an ambush. She escapes by the skin of her teeth across the Nile.
It is at this point that we recognise Lara's rival and learn of his true intentions...
Lara meets with an old colleague and fellow archaeologist to gather more information about the artefact she has discovered. Lara must now begin her real task and collect vital pieces of information and other artefacts etc.
Her next stop is the Tomb of Semerkhet at Karnak; she can only enter using the artefact as a key, and henceforth leaves it in the key-slot as she enters.
Somebody then traps her inside, steeling the artefact and sealing Lara inside the tomb...
She escapes to discover her rival is heading to Alexandria in an attempt to find the other artefacts and information.
Once in Alexandria, it's a game of cat and mouse. Lara must regain the artefacts before her enemy.
Lara's enemy then kidnaps her colleague in an attempt to lure Lara to Cairo.
Lara reaches Cairo on motorbike, and fights her way through to the Citadel, subsequently to the Giza Pyramids for the final show-down.
