Mirror of Smoke

Lara finds the Mirror of Smoke

The Mirror of Smoke is an ancient Aztec artefact. It is used by Xolotl to summon up demons from the underworld to fight against Lara and Totec in the game Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

For a long time it had been hidden away in Yucatan where in mythical times "the human followers of Totec, the Guardian of Light, once waged a catastrophic war against the demonic forces of Xolotl, the Keeper of Darkness". Lara is able to locate it, but it is taken by Vasco, a local war lord, who triggers the curse that sets free Xolotl and Totec. Xolotl can escape and Totec explains to Lara how the Mirror of Smoke must be used to imprison him again "before the light of dawn" or it would be the end of the world.
