 Afterwards the two have a little talk in which Lara convinces Zip that it was not her who entered the Manor's vault and then caused an explosion.
 Zip is devastated when he sees that his friend Alister has been killed by the doppelgänger and in his anger accuses Lara of not caring when she decides to continue on her mission. However after clearing his head Zip continues to help Lara and helps her finding a path to [[Valhalla]] as well as [[Amanda Evert|Amanda]] and [[Jacqueline Natla|Natla]] in the [[Andaman Sea]].
