Tomb Raider: Chronicles

Lara is believed dead after the Temple of Horus collapsed on top of her at the end of Last Revelation. After Lara's funeral, a group of mourners head back to the study in Croft Manor - Winston (Jeeves by any other name), Jean-Yves and Father Dunstan, the Irish family Priest who conducted the service. The three guests begin to reminisce, picking up artifacts from around the room.Winston picks up the Philosopher's Stone and tells of this reward from one of Lara's early adventures in Rome.

ROME: The level (which includes Training) begins in Rome's Opera House where Lara, in evening gown, is here to meet Larson and Pierre and buy the Stone from them. A double-cross ensues and the chase takes to the narrow streets of Italy's capital.

RUSSIA: Talk turns toward a picture of a German WW2 U-Boat close to the fireplace. Jean-Yves reveals that the ship was carrying the mythical Spear of Destiny (the Spear that was said to have pierced Jesus' side and is alleged to have magical powers) back to Germany but, due to a mysterious explosion, never made it. Flashback to Jean-Yves and Lara (in arctic style costume) heading out to Murmansk to find the Spear.

IRELAND: Lightening strikes and the candles go out. It's a hellish night, and one that reminds Winston of the time he spent out at Conussie - the Butler's old Irish home. The teenage Lara once stayed there with Winston and Father Dunstan and saw some strange apparitions on one of the islands. The two Irishmen don't explain what these apparitions are, so the young heroine sneaks away on a boat to investigate.

TOWER BLOCK: We rejoin Winston, Jean-Yves and Dunstan in a secret area of Lara's Trophy Room.Winston pulls up a dusty sheet and finds the Iris. As the light from this jewel illuminates the room, we flashback to a Tower Block, the Von Croy Industries logo shining out in the dark. Cut to Lara, dressed in a Cat Suit, who must use all her stealth skills to infiltrate the building, dodge laser trip wires and claim the mysterious prize.
