Story
Lara is hired by Jacqueline Natla to travel to the Andes mountain range, in Peru, in search of an artefact known as the Scion, which rests in the Tomb of Qualopec somewhere in the mountains. Accompanied by a guide Lara arrives at a huge pair of stone doors, the entrance to an ancient Incan civilisation. She climbs to the top of the doors and finds a hidden switch that opens the doors. A pack of ferocious wolves suddenly attack from inside the cave. Lara leaps to the ground, killing the wolves in a barrage of pistol fire. However, she is too late, her guide lies dead in the snow. Alone, Lara heads into the caves in search for the village Vilcabamba.
