Part 3
THE SECOND BUTTON AND GRAND FINALE

 

Turn left or right around the support and wait for a pyramid to pass by.
If you Resume the Game from the previous Autosave Lara will already be standing on the right side facing the central structure. Run/jump to a pyramid. You may press yellow (interact) to hang from both hands though. Pull up and face the central structure.


Resume Game


Wait for a pyramid to arrive


Jump to its platform

 

There is still a higher plane of faster rotating pyramids. When one of them passes by jump to its platform.


Jump to a higher pyramid


Pull up

 

Face the central structure and notice it has two rings spinning in opposite directions. Each ring has a number of narrow ledges. Jump to a first narrow ledge and vault up to a higher one.


Jump to a first narrow ledge of the lower ring


Vault up to a narrow ledge of the upper ring

 

Ride the ring hanging from the narrow ledge until you see a set of four narrow ledges appearing. Jump to the lowest ledge and climb up your way to the fourth.


The narrow ledges are appearing


Jump up to the lowest narrow ledge


Climb up to the highest narrow ledge

 

Another set of four narrow ledges is now visible on top of the first set. Jump up to lowest one and shimmy left to the corner. Notice that this narrow ledge and the third one are cornering around. Vault up to the third one from either side.


Jump up to next set and shimmy left to the corner


Vault up to the third narrow ledge

 

From the left side of the corner vault up two times and shimmy around the corner (Autosave).


Vault up to the higher narrow ledge...


...and to a higher one where you shimmy right around the corner (Autosave)

 

Here is your third set of 4 narrow ledges. Climb up and when you’ve reached the third one a slow motion sequence is started. The camera goes right where Natla is hovering. This time she launches multiple fireballs at Lara. You have to reach one of the narrow ledges on top of the highest spinning ring. There is a factor of luck involved.
Keep pressing your LAS button forward and you will climb up to the fourth narrow ledge when Natla is launching her first pair of fireballs. In fact this is where the slow motion sequence starts. Jump up and with some luck you’ll grab a narrow ledge above. If you fail to grab a narrow ledge you will drop dead. If you’re not fast enough, you will be knocked off the ledge by Natla’s fireballs and die too. In either case you’ll restart from the last and nearby Autosave.


Reaching the third narrow ledge


The camera turns towards Natla


Climb up to the 4th narrow ledge NOW


Jump up NOW

 

Once you hang from a narrow ledge on top the slow motion sequence turns to normal and Natla’s fireballs won’t reach Lara anymore.
Keep hanging and ride along with the ring until a tilted beam comes in sight (there is only one – you’ve turned the other two into orbiting pyramids, remember?).


Lara made it to a narrow ledge


Ride the ring


A tilted beam comes in sight

 

Let go to the beam and slide all the way down.


Drop to the beam


Slide all the way down

 

You will be landing on the support of the beam (Autosave). Turn around and behold the second button you exposed in Part one.


Lara lands on top of the support


Turn around facing the second button

 

Smash the second button with the Hammer. This will cause the beam (where you just glided from) to collapse into more pyramids joining the carrousel below.


The Beam falls into pyramid pieces

 

With nothing to support any longer the central structure is standing on its own and starts to bend. Natla is watching this and tries to support the tower from the bottom.


The central tower is getting unbalanced


Natla is watching this


She tries to save the tower from falling

 

Lara takes the Hammer and throws it to Natla.


Lara takes Mjolnir by the hand...


...and throws it to Natla

 

Natla is knocked off into the deep and... dies?


Perhaps this is the end of Natla?

 

The central structure – the tower – is definitely lost now and breaks apart.


The tower bends over


It is breaking apart

 

Watch how the tower falls into the pool below.


The tower tumbles into the pool

 

All the walkways are collapsing too and Lara runs to the Entrance ledge where Amanda is still lying.


Lara runs to Amanda


Amanda is still living!

 

Lara: After killing the Midgard Serpent, Thor dies from its venom anyway.
Amanda: Not if you clear the corridor and get us out of here!

Amanda tries to open the blocked exit with the power from the Crystal in her hand but fails:
Out of juice, just like Bolivia. The good news is: we saved the world. The bad news is: now we’re going to die here...


...just like your mother

 

Lara notices something: A sword in a stone.


Wait...

 

...Mother must have tried to use it to escape but didn’t know how. If pulling out these artifacts always bring you here, what will happen if I’m already here?
Amanda: Maybe you’ll go to hell.
Lara picks up a stone and pushes into some kind of receptacle. She tries to keep it in position.


Lara picks up a stone


Damn it. I can’t reach the sword, but you can

 

Amanda: What about you?
Lara: I can reach you if you hold out your hand.
Amanda: You trust me?
Lara: We’re out of time, Amanda.

Amanda is taking the sword but she’s still in doubt. Lara is desperately waiting for her to pull out the sword and reach to her.


Amanda in doubt


Lara in despair

 

It takes some time but eventually Amanda decides to help out Lara.


Amanda is still thinking


She finally reaches out to Lara

 

Now!
Here and in a place far way a ring is erecting. Lara and Amanda are beamed trough the portal.


Rings are erecting on both sides


Lara and Amana end up on the other side

 

Lara picks up a Sword – we’ve seen this Sword in Legend. The location is Tibet.


Lara takes the Sword from the floor


So it’s back to this, is it?

 

Amanda: What, you think we’re even?

Amanda threatens Lara with her magic Crystal.


Would killing me make us even?

 

Amanda realizes she has to leave... Lara discovers a sheet of paper on the floor and recognizes this.


Lara finds a piece of paper on the floor


Goodbye, Mother. Rest in peace

 

Lara leaves the scene, while the sky is watching her...


Lara leaves...


...and the sky is her witness

 

THE END

 

Congratulations! You have finished this spectacular Game completely with all the Treasures and Relics found!

Just like with the end of a Movie, the Credits follow ending with a BIG thanks to y’all:


The Development Team grants all of you a big thanks

 

Next you will get a screen Treasure Hunt.
Open it and Lara is standing on her boat in the middle of the ocean.


The “Treasure Hunt” screen


Lara on her boat

 

Open your PDA and find out you can now replay each Level. If you do, you will have all options unlocked. One of them is seeing Lara in her bathing suit. Replay as such in the Arctic!
