Jacob then tells her to light the signal tower to warn the people to evacuate, which Lara complies. Trinity choppers start to attack the area and soon the entire village is engulfed in flames. Jacob and two others are taken hostage, with their captor shooting them one by one.
Lara tries to help him but Jacob stops her. After the first remnant is shot, the captor was about to shoot the second remnant until Jacob tells him not to do it. Just as the captor was about to shoot him, the second remnant tells him of an atlas that can show the way to the Divine Source, enough diversion for Jacob to kill the captor and give Lara his shotgun. After an intense gunfight with a mercenary armed with a flamethrower, Trinity's forces retreats as the natives shoot fire arrows at them.
In a chapel at the Soviet installation, Konstantin hears the news of Lara's cooperation with the Remnants to fend off Trinity and becomes violently frustrated. Konstantin tells Ana that they should have killed her, to which Ana replies that he has nothing to do for his efforts and she'll succeed when he's failing.
Konstantin furiously answers that he will not fail, to which Ana answers back that Trinity will step in if he does, and that means she is expendable. They will not care about her survival and that she needs the power of the source. Ana then coughs, with which Konstantin tells her not to lose faith in God and that their success is inevitable.
Konstantin then prays and asks for the way to find the Divine Source and grant him strength to commit the sins just to get through the barriers between him and the Source. After blood drips from his hands, he presumes that it is the only way. Meanwhile, while Lara and Jacob treat the wounded remnants in the village, Lara apologizes for what is happening to his people and says Trinity won't stop.
Jacob answers that it has been their duty and it is always difficult. Lara then asks about the atlas, which Jacob says that it is an ancient map of the lost city which Trinity will never find at the tower.
Jacob says that many of his people are living by the tower and won't be prepared for what's coming ahead, which Lara volunteers to help them. Jacob then asks if she is doing this for the sake of his people, or for the Divine Source which she seeks, which Lara answers both. After exploring the tower area, she finds no sign of the people, to which Jacob tells her via radio to find them in the catacombs because Sofia might have evacuated them there.
Lara realizes that Trinity had taken the remnants as hostages in the area and infiltrates the underground catacomb ruins where Trinity's forces had Sofia's group as hostages, killing each of them one by one until they reveal the location of the atlas. Lara rescues them just in time and Sofia reconciles with her.
Sofia then tells her that she wants to lead her people to safety, but the catacomb entrance is locked. Lara offers to help by bombing the gate.
Sofia then tells her that although she seeks the Divine Source, her people are dying to protect it. Lara answers back, saying that her people are already dying and they can't protect it forever. Sofia tells her that they've already lasted so long and are glad to have her as an ally. Lara then goes to the tower where Trinity is converging and tries to rescue the people there. Jacob radios her and tells her that they are receiving fire from the chopper. He tells Lara to try and catch the attention of the chopper, to which Lara succeeds to get the upper hand.
The remnants manage to take down the chopper with fire arrows, but Sofia tells her that Trinity's forces are still swarming the area. After an intense gunfight, Lara manages to fend off all of Trinity's forces in the area. Lara then asks Jacob about what really is the Divine Source, to which Jacob says that it is a long forgotten artifact that their Prophet took and hid in the lost city of Kitezh. They believed it holds a part of God's souls and that it will grant anyone who held it with immortality.
The remnants are trying to stop Trinity from spreading darkness around the world and that if they found the Divine Source, their soldiers will be unstoppable. Lara then tells him to help her find the artifact before they do. She says that it is not just their burden but also her burden because her father died for it. Jacob tells her that she can't fill the emptiness inside her, but only set it free. She then continues her quest, with which Sofia tells her that since she helped them, she'll help Lara.
Sofia tells her that the atlas is in the cathedrals but they won't follow her because there are the "deathless ones" in the area who will kill anyone who even trespass. Lara accepts the challenge, and explores the cathedral. After stealthily avoiding Trinity's forces guarding the area, she finds access to the inner ruins and sees Ana overseeing the operations. Trinity is trying to bomb the floor, believing that the atlas is hidden underground. Lara ambushes them and threatens to kill Ana.
Ana tells her that she'll never shoot her because it will be too cold even for Lara. Lara realizes her foot is tied to the explosives on the floor.
Ana then shouts and orders to kill her, in which Lara responds by shooting the explosives. Lara and Ana fall underground with Ana falling on a higher platform than Lara. Ana tells Lara to reconsider her offer before it's too late, with which Lara says that it was already too late when Ana betrayed her family. Then she shoots Ana in the right arm and tells her to go to hell. Furious but still clinging to life, Ana radios trinity and orders them to give her the atlas.
Lara delves deeper and finds the artifact, only to be ambushed by Trinity's forces. Lara makes advantage of the Greek fire vessels in the area to kill the mercenaries. She swims under the archives only to be chased down by a flamethrower-wielding mercenary. With him, the water starts to burn and the upper areas explode one after the other as sulfur surrounds the area. Then she uses the Greek Fire to take down a statue and blow her exit, only to be shot down on by Greek fire arrows from the deathless ones.
Lara manages to escape. Jacob contacts her and tells her to bring the atlas to the observatory. Jonah finally finds a way to contact her and is relieved after realizing that Lara is still alive. Lara finds her way back to the observatory and reunites with Jonah. Lara then uses the atlas to determine the location of Kitezh and realizes that it is under the glaciers.
However, Trinity's forces storm and attack the area. Lara falls off the window but manages to grab the chains. Jonah immediately grabs the atlas and attacks the mercenaries. Before one of the mercenaries could kill Lara, Jonah pushes him out the window. As he pulls Lara, a mercenary grabs Jonah and the artifact and escapes via a chopper. With Jacob wounded and Jonah and the artifact in Trinity's hands, Lara chases Trinity and starts from the old Copper Mill to the Gulag Prison, staging a daring rescue to save Jonah even if it means losing the Divine Source.
Meanwhile, Ana and Konstantin had used the atlas in Trinity's Observatory and had started digging operations under the glacier. Ana fears that Trinity is just using them and will not let Konstantin keep the artifact to save her.
Konstantin tells her to have faith. Lara discovers that Trinity is beating and interrogating Jonah about the Divine Source, but he is resistant, causing Konstantin to lose patience and does the torturing himself. Lara helps the remnant prisoners escape and shoots the bulletproof glass window overlooking the room Jonah and Konstantin are in, causing a diversion. Jonah attacks Konstantin and steals his gun, threatening to shoot him, but Konstantin begs for his life.
Lara insists that Jonah execute Konstantin but Jonah cannot bring himself to shoot an unarmed man, allowing Konstantin to pull out a knife and stab Jonah, to Lara's horror.
Konstantin escapes and orders his men to sweep the area and kill her. The remnant prisoners help Jonah, telling Lara that only Jacob can help Jonah.
Lara tells them to barricade the door and leaves to secure the area. After killing Konstantin's men, Lara returns to Jonah and the two Remnants, Jonah tells Lara that she has to stop blaming herself for everything that happened before passing out. One of the Remnants tells a tearful Lara that his time is short, though Jacob may be able to save him. Using a makeshift stretcher, Lara and the Remnant prisoners bring Jonah to the observatory and leave him under Jacob's care. Lara notes that has healed from his own injuries wordlessly.
Jacob chants a prayer and uses his healing miracles, seals Jonah's wound. Lara confronts Jacob about who he is, having figured out that he is the Deathless prophet. Jacob reveals to her that the Divine Source is a deeply powerful artifact he found long ago, but is not actually divine. He lied to his people to protect them.
He once used the source to grant his armies their immortality, but it was a terrible mistake. When enemies attacked Kitezh, the Deathless Ones brought the ice down upon the city. Thousands were killed, and they committed an atrocity to keep the power, and so will Trinity but on a much larger scale. Suddenly Trinity's choppers fly past in the direction of the glacier, Jacob realizes that they are going to use brute force to smash through the ice and take the source.
Lara asks about the secret path leading to the city, which Jacob reveals as the dangerous Path of the Deathless, with no time left, Lara asks to be taken to the path.
Jacob agrees, he orders Sofia to open the path before she takes their troops to hold Trinity off. Jacob radios Lara inside and tells her about the Orrery, which was built by ancient astronomers before the deathless buried the area in ice. Jacob tells her that she needs the Orrery mechanism to open the entrance to Kitezh. Sofia radios Lara and tells her that they are on the mountain glaciers and are ready to fight Trinity, but Lara tells her to not attack too soon. She delves deeper into the Old City and sneaks past the deathless ones, who are preparing for an attack on Trinity as well.
However, their attack is delayed when one of the Deathless Ones see Lara. Lara narrowly avoids the Greek fire and kills the Deathless Ones. As she explores the village of the Deathless Ones, she realizes that a gate is blocking the entrance to the Chamber of Souls where the Divine Source is located.
Soon, more of the Deathless Ones attack. Lara kills them and uses their trebuchet to bomb the entrance. Once she gets inside, Trinity finally break through the glacier, causing huge chunks of ice to drop. Things quickly escalate into a three way stand off between the Remnants, Trinity and the Deathless, as Lara scales her way to the chamber of souls.
The Remnants use the trebuchet to help Lara kill any enemies in her path while she is on the final stretch to the Souls. Konstantin's corners Lara, ordering dozens of troops to finish her. With the help of Sofia and the Trebuchet Lara manages to destroy the chopper, causing it to crash into the castle. Lara falls down near the crash site, where Konstantin steals all her weapons except her climbing axe and combat knife.
By jumping from nearby pillars or distracting him with objects in the room, Lara stabs him twice in the back with her axe, and then thrusts her knife into his chest, finally subduing him. Mortally wounded, Konstantin laments that this was not supposed to be his destiny says that he was meant for greatness, as it was God's will. Lara tells him that it was never his destiny, that his sister deceived and tricked him into thinking that he was chosen.
Konstantin is shattered by this revelation, as everything he had done was for her. Lara begins to leave to stop Ana. Konstantin demands she not walk away from him, telling her that Trinity killed her father, calling him pathetic and a failure and that he begged for his life, when that failed, he begged for Lara's. The game then offers a choice. The Player can execute Konstantin, or walk away, leaving him to be killed when the floor collapses causing him to plummet into the flames below.
Lara rushes to the very center of the city, where Ana is about to use the Divine Source. Lara tells her that her that men are defeated and Konstantin is dead, and that is what Trinity had always wrought - death. Ana is shaken by her brothers death but refuses to give up the Divine Source, telling her that she doesn't want to give it to Trinity and that Lara is dooming her father to be mocked by history. Ana is dismayed by her and tells her how can she let it go when she is so close.
Lara answers, stating that she is ready to make a sacrifice. Lara tells her that she can't let her take it. Ana replies, saying that they could save millions of suffering and dying people and change the world together. Lara says that the cost is too high and that they aren't meant to live forever because death is a part of live.
Ana answers back, saying that it's easy for her to say because she is not the one who is dying. Lara tells her that it isn't about her but it is about protecting what it means to be human. She tells Lara "Another Croft doesn't have to die for this. One of Trinity's soldiers appears and tells Ana that they are surrounded, but soon gets stabbed by Jacob.
Ana quickly shoots Jacob multiple times in retaliation, injuring but not killing him. Wounded, Jacob shouts that the divine source is not meant for the world. As Lara aims her gun at Ana, she aims her gun at Lara as well, beginning a standoff. Ana tells Lara that it's her chance to prove herself after everything they've both done. An army of the deathless ones advance on Ana, she empties her gun into them, to no avail.
With no other way out, she uncovers the source and gazes upon it. The artifact overpowers Ana dropping the shining blue crystal. Lara grabs it but would not look at it for it might overpower her as well. Surrounded, Lara looks to Jacob, who tells her its okay. Lara apologizes, possibly to her father and shatters the Divine Source,freeing the trapped souls, and causing it's power to cease, to Ana's dismay.
Now that the Divine Source is destroyed, causing any who had gained immortality from it to lose it, including Jacob, mortally wounded, Jacob begins to die. Lara tells him to hold on, though he laments, he's held on for too long, and begins laughing as his end is near. He tells Lara that he's met few as extraordinary as Lara. Lara apologizes saying she only wanted to make a difference, Jacob merely tells her "You already have", before he peacefully turns to dust.
In Croft Manor, Lara had listened to his father's last words on a tape, "My dearest Lara, I often think about how my father would turn over in his grave if he knew the shame I had brought upon my family name. I just hope you can make your own mark on this world someday.
Remember that the extraordinary is in what we do, not who we are. Lara replies, thinking that she still let him down. Jonah told her that he would've made the right choice. Jonah then tells her that she still has a plane to catch. Then the two leave off in the manor. It doesn't matter what choices he would've made I have to make my own. The myth of Kitezh was real. There are secrets out there that can change the world.
I need to find them. Not for my father, not for anyone else. Trinity is still out there and they're more powerful than I ever imagined. I can stop them, I can make a difference. I can make the right difference.
After the credits roll, a post credits scene start two weeks before Lara was at the manor, happening just after Lara destroys the Divine Source. Lara and a sickly weakened Ana walk through the snow in Northeastern Siberia.
A weak Ana sits on a rock and coughs. Lara asks what did she mean when she said 'another Croft doesn't have to die for this. Ana explains to her that Trinity ordered his execution but she couldn't do it. Lara dismisses it as a lie. Ana then tells her that she loved him, before being shot dead by a hidden sniper. The hidden sniper, while aiming directly at Lara's head, asks his boss on the radio if he should kill Lara, to which the unseen superior responds "No, not yet".
After finishing the story mode if you go back to the world, you will get a scene where Lara is talking to Sofia about her father with Sofia replying that she trusts her and is thankful for her help against Trinity.
Set between the prologue in Syria and Siberia, Lara receives a letter from her uncle, Atlas , who claims that she has no legal claim to the manor and he is the rightful owner of the Croft estate. Lara realizes that if her father left a will it's probably in his safe. She finds a note which offers hints as to what the safe combination is, and begins to search the house to find more clues.
As she roams around the manor she reminisces as she finds mementos from her childhood. As well as this she finds her parents journals, chronicling their first meeting, time together as a couple, marriage, Lara's birth and culminating in her mother's death which acted as the catalyst for her father's obsession with finding proof of an immortal soul. After finding all the clues connected to the safe combination, Lara heads to open the safe. Inside she finds some personal belongings of Lord Croft, but no will.
However, she finds a page which she discovers holds directions to a secret room in the cellar. Lara discovers her father's secret lab where he conducted research after deciding it was too risky to allow his research to be public.
Lara finds another clue, which leads to Lara discovering that her father had found her mother's body and brought her home though not before attempting to resurrect her. Lara discovers a clue that leads to a hidden crypt behind a wall in the main lobby of the house. Lara breaks down the wall which leads to a passage to the crypt, finding an elaborate sarcophagus where her mother is interred.
Lara finds a letter from her mother, telling her that no matter what, they will always be connected, and that she hopes she finds success and happiness in her life. Lara has the grave verified and sends the documentation to her uncle.
Several weeks later after the events of the main campaign Lara receives another letter from her uncle, confirming that his claim on the manor as well as the rest of her family's assets has been rendered null and void as a result of her mother's death being verified.
As such all of the Croft family assets have been transferred to her giving her sole control of the Croft estate. Lara muses to herself that she'd been so occupied with trying to stop her uncle from claiming the manor that she had not realized that it had so many memories and so much sentimental value.
Wanting to honor her parents and ancestors, Lara swears to return her family's name to its former glory. Lara investigates a disturbance within the Soviet mining facility. After fighting off a Trinity patrol, she discovers a young girl named Nadia hiding in a sawmill.
Nadia confides in Lara, recounting her search for her grandfather, Ivan. Ivan has disappeared while trying to enter the Wicked Vale, a valley rumored to be haunted by Baba Yaga , a witch from Russian folklore. Ivan blames the witch for the death of his wife and seeks to kill her. Lara is skeptical of Baba Yaga's existence, but as Nadia is injured, she agrees to enter the Wicked Vale and locate Ivan.
Once in the Vale, Lara is exposed to a rare pollen with potent hallucinogenic properties. After stumbling through a forest, tormented by visions of her father's suicide, she encounters Baba Yaga and a pack of demonic wolves. Lara narrowly escapes with her life and finds herself in a small Soviet-era outpost. There she unearths evidence of a secret Soviet biological weapons project that attempted to harness the pollen as a weapon; however, the project came to an abrupt end after the researchers including Serafima, a biochemist imprisoned in a nearby gulag succumbed to the hallucinations.
Realizing that Serafima resented her captors, Lara correctly deduces that she had successfully weaponized the pollen and developed an antidote and kept her research secret from the military. With Nadia's help, Lara synthesizes a rudimentary antidote from Serafima's recipe and returns to the Wicked Vale. Resisting the effects of the pollen, Lara finds Ivan injured at the entrance to Baba Yaga's lair.
Unable to leave the Wicked Vale so long as Baba Yaga continues to control it, Lara ventures on to confront the witch and is forced to battle Baba Yaga under the effects of the pollen. Lara prevails, destroying the source of the weaponized pollen. Baba Yaga is revealed to be Serafima, who was led to believe that her husband, Ivan, was dead, and so used the pollen to become Baba Yaga and torment her captors in revenge.
Lara enters a decommissioned Soviet weapons bunker that has been breached by a Trinity patrol. Trinity have inadvertently released an unstable pathogen into the air, which causes the people it infects to regress to a zombie-like state. Men are particularly vulnerable as the virus stimulates testosterone and adrenaline production. The pathogen was created by a Soviet researcher with the intention of creating an army of unstoppable super-soldiers, but all of his experiments ended in failure.
Following an accident that released the pathogen, he died in the facility, proud that he had at least created a weapon to protect his homeland. With Sofia and Nadia providing support from a helicopter, Lara attempts to find the source of the pathogen before an enormous cloud is released into the atmosphere and contaminates the Remnant valley. The three women hatch a plan to channel the pathogen from three towers into the central tower, and cause it to explode, which will hopefully burn off the toxin.
Lara shuts down each tower while collecting equipment, rescuing female prisoners and eliminating waves of the infected Trinity soldiers, and finally enters the core tower. While fighting off the infected soldiers, she triggers a catastrophic explosion and jumps from the tower to Nadia and Sofia's helicopter. Nadia and Lara watch the explosion as they fly to safety. Although the resulting fire burns the remaining reserves of the pathogen, documents found throughout the facility reveal that the release was no accident; Trinity reactivated the facility to acquire a sample of the pathogen, and an agent of Trinity escaped with it before the bunker was destroyed.
In Lara's Nightmare the sequence begins similarly to Blood Ties, but instead Lara's uncle is unwilling to give her the Manor. She fights off hordes of zombies and skulls before finding the Master Key. Finally, she kills the large skull in the main hallway, successfully ending her nightmare. Rise of the Tomb Raider features larger areas of exploration than the previous game.

Stealth has been revamped, as Lara can now hide from animals as well as humans. Lara can also climb trees, hide in foliage to avoid detection by enemies, and submerge herself in water to perform stealth takedowns.
Lara has access to more weapons and upgrades, which can be switched at any camp per the player's preference. Contrary to Tomb Raider , weapons are no longer "locked" once the upgraded version is obtained.
Additionally, each type of weapon has its own upgrades to be unlocked. Some materials can only be found in exotic destinations, at a specific time of the day and possibly in specific parts of the destination. In the previous game, salvage contained 9 pieces; in Rise of the Tomb Raider, salvage contains pieces.
In addition to weapon upgrades, Lara can use gathered materials to craft bombs and ammunition, which is helpful when ammo is scarce. Main Article: Lara's Outfits.

Realizing that Lara doesn't have the box, Dominguez reveals that by taking the dagger, she has set the apocalypse in motion.
He takes the dagger, intending to undo the damage Lara has done and reshape the world in his image. Lara is horrified to see the first cataclysm, a tsunami, rushing towards her. She manages to get to higher ground, she finds Jonah and tells him they need to get to Peru now or else Dominguez will get the box first, Jonah yells at Lara that they need to help the people who are trapped before they do anything, leaving Lara to look horrified at the destruction she has caused.
After managing to get a plane, the pair head to Peru, near their destination the second cataclysm hits, the storm, and causes their plane to rip in half separating Lara from Jonah, and both sections of the plane crash. Lara awakens, and makes her way through the dense jungle after finding some gear from the section of plane that crashed nearby. Lara receives a transmission from the pilot, Miguel , who had also survived the crash and headed deeper into the jungle.
Lara finds Miguel dead, having been eaten by two jaguars. While making her way through the jaguars' territory, she is attacked by them; she manages to kill one, causing the other to leave with its body. Lara then heads to the plane's crash site and reunites with Jonah, who also survived the crash. While trying to get through a collapsed entry, Lara is attacked by the jaguar again, which mauls her back, though she manages to kill it.
Lara and Jonah make camp for the night. Lara dreams of her childhood, searching through Croft Manor , for hidden secrets. She finds her mother's atelier, and inside, her jewelry box and bracelet. Lara hears a gunshot and rushes to her father's study, where she finds him slumped over his desk, dead. Lara awakens, to find Jonah already up.
The pair press on and find the town of Kuwaq Yaku. They go to a local bar and meet Abby , a mechanic and de facto mayor of the town. They join her for a drink and ask her about any local ruins, showing her photographs. She says she recognizes one of the symbols from a nearby temple. Lara heads to the temple, telling Jonah to stay and rest, having sensed a spark between Jonah and Abby. Lara heads to the temple where she is later joined by Jonah.
Finding a passage through, she sees another temple, and makes her way there. Lara finds a mural depicting a journey, starting at a jaguar's mouth.
Abby calls Lara on the radio and tells her that the jaguar's mouth is back at the temple she started. Lara heads back to the temple through the trees and sees Trinity soldiers being slaughtered by a strange creature.
Getting back to the temple, she finds Jonah and Abby have uncovered stairs leading deeper down the temple. Stepping onto the path, a trap separates Lara from Jonah and Abby. Abby says she might know another way around. Lara heads on an finds several challenges to be conquered, emerging at the other side, she finds a young boy in Mayan style clothing, being advanced upon by a man in Mayan armor, bearing the mark of Trinity.
Lara kills the man, and frees the boy. Several other soldiers advance on them but they are quickly dispatched, by the boy's mother and her men, identifying the boy as Etzli.
Lara is taken prisoner, a bag placed on her head to stop her from identifying the path. Lara is taken to a room, where she is addressed by the woman who captured her, introducing herself as Unaratu. She the rightful queen of Paititi. She asks what Lara is doing, and Lara truthfully tells her that she is seeking the Silver box of Ix Chel, in order to stop Trinity from seizing the power to remake the world. Unuratu allows Lara to attempt to find the box, though she reveals that they have also captured Jonah, and insists he stay in case Lara is lying.
She offers Lara a change of clothes allowing her to blend in, and leads her through the town to the entrance to the sacrificial chamber. In town they encounter a small procession, for Unuratu's challenger to the throne, Amaru. Lara is shocked to discover that it's none other than Doctor Dominguez. Unaratu, gets distracted by a man who seeks to kill Dominguez, and stops him, telling Lara where to meet Etzli in order to find the entrance to the sacrificial temple.
Joining the young prince at the temple entrance, he tells Lara to follow the smell of death, and that she can use the irrigation system to get out when she's done.
Lara makes her way inside and finds thousands of people the cult has sacrificially slaughtered. Deeper into the cavern, Lara finds an item that is shaped like a serpent and figures it's what Trinity are looking for. Lara finds the irrigation system and leaves. Arriving back in the village, Lara witnesses Etzli being captured by the cult, and is forced to flee as they chase her. She manages to escape her pursuers and makes her way back to Unuratu's home.
She informs the Queen of Etzli's capture, and the group begins to form a plan, Unuratu seeing the object Lara had retrieved from the sacrificial chamber, recognizes it as a key to an area opposite the Serpent guard's barracks. She tells Lara that there is an entrance through the old salt mine, that she can use to allow a small group in to rescue Etzli, before she heads after the box. Lara heads into the mines and dispatches the cultists who are patrolling the area.
Unlocking the gate, the rescue party lead by Unuratu heads into the area. They manage to get Etzli, however Unuratu is captured, wordlessly telling Lara not to stay and help, Lara presses on. Heading into the crumbling remains of a temple, Lara encounters feral humanoid creatures and fights her way through. Coming to a massive door, depicting the goddesses Ix Chel and Chak Chel protecting the box, Lara deduces that it must be inside and opens the door.
Upon gaining access, Lara is accosted by more of the creatures, including a disfigured priestess, however they do no attack and simply seal Lara inside. Reading the murals, Lara realizes that creatures, known as the Yaaxil are actually protecting the box. Lara finds an altar, with symbols that match Unuratu's tattoos, however the box has been removed from its pedestal.
A tremor a foreshock preceding the impending earthquake causes the door to collapse and the Yaaxil attack, Lara manages to escape and returns to the surface. Lara and the rebels plan an escape, sending Lara in disguised as a Serpent guard. Making her way to the Temple district, Lara finds Unuratu with Dominguez, who pleads for her to join his cause, wanting only to protect Paititi from discovery and destruction from the outside world, however Unuratu is unwilling to allow Paititi's salvation to come at the cost of all else.
Dominguez orders her to be returned to her cell, before telling her that the Box of Ix Chel is gone, stolen by Andres Lopez, and that she has no way to restore the sun. Lara reaches Unuratu. Lara informs her that she has found another clue to the box's location, asking of the meaning of her tattoos, Unuratu reveals that they are linked to the last true emperor of Paititi, and the two make their way to the tomb to look for more clues.
Making their way through the temple, they pass a mural which Unuratu explains shows that at the death of the sun, the box must be opened, and whoever opens will be tempted with a vision showing the most powerful desire.
Lara asks Unuratu how she knows if she'll be able to resist temptation, to which she replied, she doesn't know, however the Crimson Fire will guide her telling her "When the Crimson Fire smokes, seek your mirror.
Reaching the tomb of the emperor, Lara finds a message left by Andreas Lopez, saying "The Heart of the Serpent is in the cup. Before she dies, Unuratu urges Lara to resist the box's temptation. Lara fights off the squad sent by Rourke to kill her and escapes, informing Etzli of his mother's death. Etzli resolves to lead his people. Lara and Jonah leave by boat to continue their search for the box. While heading down the river, Lara and Jonah are attacked by a Trinity gunship, destroying their boat and separating them.
Lara emerges on the bank nearby an oil refinery, killing a soldier who sets upon her. With no weapons except her knife, she tries to find Jonah. The third cataclysm, the earthquake, begins, and the refinery bursts into flames.
While sneaking through the soldiers, Lara is repeatedly taunted by Rourke, who has located her comms channel, and eventually tells her that his forces have killed Jonah.
An enraged Lara takes a machine gun, slaughtering all of Trinity's forces in the area. However, she misses Rourke, who has been called away and left a soldier, Winters , to fight Lara in a helicopter. By shooting explosive barrels near the helicopter, Lara destroys it, killing Winters. Looking over the destruction she's caused and the sudden arrival of a still-alive Jonah, Lara breaks down.
Jonah tries to reassure her and get her to figure out what their next move should be. Initially dismissive of Jonah's suggestion, she suddenly realizes that they are not looking for a Mayan site, rather a Christian site as Andreas Lopez was a missionary. Lara and Jonah enlist Abby's help to get to the nearby Mission of San Juan , which is the nearest Christian missionary, as it is within walking distance of Paititi. Searching the grounds, they discover an underground church, where they discover the resting place of Andreas Lopez, and with him the Box.
The floor gives way and Lara falls with the box, upon returning to the surface, Lara finds that Dominguez has arrived and has Jonah at gunpoint. Unwilling to lose another friend, Lara calls out to Dominguez, by his real name, offering the box in exchange for Jonah's safety.
Dominguez offers that he understands Lara's pain, through his words, Lara realizes that Dominguez had ordered her father's execution. Jonah suddenly tackles Dominguez and runs with the box. Lara makes her way through Trinity's forces, while being goaded by Roarke, all the while, the telltale signs of an impeding volcanic eruption are all around. Lara arrives to see Jonah being kicked from a helicopter, and sees that Dominguez has the box.
Lara and Abby rush to Jonah as the Volcano erupts, Lara thinking there might be a chance the chopper will be grounded by volcanic debris gives chase as a mudslide ensues, though her chase is unsuccessful. Lara and Jonah return to Paititi, and inform Etzli that Dominguez has the box, and the rebels launch a final assault on Trinity's forces. Spying a smoking fire Lara heads to the source and finds the Yaaxil priestess from before, and realizes the that they are supposed to work together.
The entire Trinity High Council comes to personally oversee their victory, but the Yaaxil overwhelm Trinity's forces and massacre the entire council. Rourke joins the fight in a tank, but he is quickly overrun and slaughtered by the Yaaxil after running out of ammunition. With Trinity leaderless and their forces in complete disarray, Lara climbs to the top of the temple and confronts Dominguez, who uses the box and receives godly powers. After a lengthy battle, Lara manages to steal away Dominguez's powers and fatally stab him.
Dominguez accepts his fate and gives her the power from the artifacts, asking Lara to protect his people before dying. Just as Unuratu had warned, Lara is shown a vision of a life she could have with her mother and father alive, but Lara resists the temptation and walks away. With Lara now holding the power of Kukulkan, is the sacrifice needed to end the cleansing. Lara then lays on the sacrificial altar ready to sacrifice herself to save the world. Crimson Fire makes a stabbing motion, but moments before the blade hits it stops and draws away the power from Lara.
Two days later, Lara and Jonah attend the funeral of Unuratu.
