Helheim is the nineteenth level of Tomb Raider Underworld and the first in the Arctic Sea Section.


In the Mediterranean Sea Section Jacqueline Natla tells Lara that Helheim, the Norse underworld, is one and the same as Avalon (and the Maya underworld Xibalba).

This melds the plots of Legend and Tomb Raider Underworld to some extent, but as a statement of mythological lore makes little or no sense.

  • Helheim - World of Hel. Here the goddess Hel, depicted as a woman on one side and a corpse on the other, presided over all souls that did not got to Valhalla after death. Judging by the ruined road and drawbridge, this site must be even more ancient than Niflheim to have been above sea level at some point. The top is heavily encased in permanent sea ice, so there may have been another, dryer way to get inside from somewhere above had Natla given me more precise coordinates, but I think I'd rather go in through the front door.
