The Periapt Shards (or Crystal Shards), also referred to as Weapons of Light, are artefacts playing an important role in The Angel of Darkness.
It is said that only these can destroy Eckhardt for good, so Lara sets out to collect them all.
Contents
History
There are three of these artefacts. They were in the possession of the Lux Veritatis who used them to bind the black Alchemist Pieter van Eckhardt for centuries. In an ancient drawing these three shards surround a lion head. The lion is probably the Golden Lion mentioned in the prophecy of the Nephilim.
Creation
The Periapt Shards were most likely created at the biblical times to destroy the Nephilim race. They were later acquired by the Lux Veritatis to defeat the Black Alchemist, Pieter Van Eckhardt.
Discovery
The first one of the Shards she finds in the Louvre, in the level Galleries Under Siege. It seems that Kurtis Trent lost it and Lara picked it up, but he managed to get the Obscura Painting from her instead. She will get the first again and second one from Kurtis in the level Boaz Returns, when he sends Lara away to stop Eckhardt and takes on the mutated Boaz himself. The third one is found in Eckhardt's Lab, where he kept it safe in a pool of boiling water which Lara has to cool down before she can get the Shard.
Before he hands them over to Lara, Kurtis will use his Shard to kill the Proto Nephilim in the Maximum Containment Area.
When Lara confronts Eckhardt, she must stab him with all three shards. She stabs him with two of them, but the third is used by Joachim Karel.
Appearance
The Periapt Shards are crystalline shards, shaped like spearheads.
Powers
The Shards are the only weapons that can be used to kill a Nephilim or a creature with Nephilim origin. They are also the only powerful enough weapons to kill The Black ALchemist, Eckhardt.
