Notes

  • Not all of the Shiva Statues that appear in the level come to life and attack Lara, some are just decorations.
  • Towards the end of the level Temple Ruins Lara comes across a room with three Shiva Statues. Two of them come to life and after they're defeated, they leave behind two Scimitars. These have to be placed on the third Shiva Statue to open a gate nearby.

Miscellaneous

There was some concern at the time of the game release that the use of a Hindu deity as a "baddy" might cause offence to Hindus. [1]
