The Spear of Destiny is a magical spearhead and an artefact that Lara pursues during one of the stories in Tomb Raider Chronicles. The spear originally was found by the Nazis, and it was being transported on a U-boat but the power of the spear caused an explosion which sunk the U-boat.
Years later Lara recovered it from the U-boat ruins, after infiltrating a Russian submarine, whose crew were also searching for the spear. The volatile power of the spear also caused an explosion on the Russian submarine which sank afterwards. Lara escaped but the spear sank with the submarine.
Powers
It supposedly made an army invincible when wielded. The power from the spear however was very volatile and uncontrollable. Hence the spear would cause explosions if its power was disturbed. Lara probably did not attempt to retrieve the spear from the Russian wreckage of the submarine after witnessing its tremendous ability to destroy. The spear by far is the most potent artefact in the Tomb Raider Series.
Background
The real spear of destiny is one of very few artefacts in the Tomb Raider Game series to be based on Christian beliefs - it is supposedly the spear taken from Jesus' side when he died on the cross. Whether it truly exists is unknown - although many people have 'discovered' it over the years, only to be disproved and have it dismissed as a hoax.
