Hand of Midas

Hand of Midas in Tomb Raider Anniversary

The Hand of Midas is part of a puzzle in the original Tomb Raider and its remake Tomb Raider Anniversary.

In the level Palace Midas (Tomb Raider) or Greece - Midas's Palace (Tomb Raider Anniversary) Lara has to collect Lead Bars and turn them into Gold Bars with the help of the hand of the statue of King Midas. In the original Tomb Raider the remains of the statue of Midas only consist of his feet and one hand. In Tomb Raider Anniversary his statue is pretty much intact, except for the left arm which is lying at his feet. In both cases Lara should not step onto the hand, as otherwise she would be turned to gold.
