Seeing Is Believing

Storyline

 

 

For generations, stories have been told of the fearsome weapon of the Norse god Thor. Legend holds that he who wields the hammer has the power to smash mountains into valleys and the strength to destroy even the gods. For more than a thousand years it has existed only as a myth… until now.

In an ancient ruin on the floor of the Mediterranean Sea, Lara Croft uncovers proof of the Norse underworld and the mythical hammer. As she attempts to unravel the secrets behind these myths, Lara’s perilous journey leads her toward a forgotten power that, if unleashed, could lay waste to all civilization.

Characters

 

Lara Croft

Lara Croft is an adventurer, world traveler, and archeologist who seeks out tombs and relics, fuelled by an obsession to uncover the secrets of the great, ancient civilizations. She is a superb athlete, fluent in a dozen languages, and will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Alister Fletcher

Alister Fletcher is Lara's research assistant and a repository for a fantastic array of detailed historical information. He confines his researches to libraries and museums, however, concentrating on understanding and explaining what has already been found, as opposed to Lara search for new artifacts. He's a 15th-year doctoral student at Oxford and hasn't received his doctorate because his belief that everything is connected to everything else makes it impossible for him to draw the boundaries required to get finish his dissertation.

Amanda Evert

Amanda Evert was one of Lara Croft's best friends at university. While she was a promising cultural anthropologist, she had a love of metaphysics and a fascination with mysticism that, in Lara's opinion, interfered with her ability to be an effective scientist. Amanda dreamed of rediscovering mystical knowledge from the past, knowledge that the scientific age not only lost sight of but actively drove out of the world. She hoped to then teach these forgotten truths to others so they could gain spiritual enlightenment. But her career, wherever it was headed, was cut short by a terrible, unexplained event in Peru, where her body remains with a dozen others in a collapsed tomb.

Jacqueline Natla

Jacqueline Natla is the owner and CEO of Natla Technologies, one of the world's largest electronics companies. She is the holder of several key computer hardware patents, and her research and development department is one of the industries most secretive and prolific innovaters. Little is known about Miss Natla's private life other than she never gives interviews and rarely makes public appearances. Colleagues and business rivals alike say she is intimidatingly intelligent and a demanding perfectionist.

Winston Smith

Winston's family has been with the Crofts for generations, and he has been the family butler since he was honorably discharged from the military in his late-twenties; just as his father before him. He moved into Croft Manor to stay as the only live-in staff when his wife died, before Lara was born. He tends to all Lara's household needs, going far beyond the duties of a traditional butler given Lara's unusual lifestyle and pursuits, but he has never disappointed her. His loyalty to Lara, her parents, and Croft Manor is beyond question.

Zip

Zip is Lara's right hand man and tech expert. Always in contact with Lara via her headset, he is able to instantly provide her with a wealth of information by accessing various electronic reference resources, and other online knowledge databases.In his spare time, he tinkers around with electronics, developing new technology that might prove useful to Ms.Croft in the field.In addition to being a savvy purveyor of all things "geeky", Zip is also a distinguished chef, and has worked in some of the best kitchens in nothern Europe.

Locations

 

Mediterranean Sea

My father died in a tragic accident while searching for Avalon, the mythical resting place of King Arthur. I never shared his belief that it had played any role in my mother's disappearance, but recent events make me suspect otherwise.

Coastal Thailand

According to Natla, Avalon and the Norse underworld of Helheim are one and the same. Entry is not possible without Mjolnir, the war hammer of the Norse god of thunder, Thor. Is this what my father was searching for in Thailand?

Croft Manor

My father stripped Bhogavati of artifacts and destroyed any information that might have led to Helheim, but he left behind a clue that only I would be able to understand. He must have discovered something very dangerous to destroy such an important archaeological site.

Southern Mexico 

My father's photographs revealed the location of Thor's belt in Central America and his hammer between Greenland and Norway. Zip doesn't understand how I can continue the search after Alister's murder, but I'm convinced this path also leads straight to those responsible.

Jan Mayen Island

Thor's hammer is one of the most powerful weapons in human mythology; strong enough even to kill the immortal demigod, Jörmungandr, as the world burns in the final battle of Ragnarök. It isn't power I seek, however, but answers. The truth behind the myths that these ancient devices inspired.

Andaman Sea

In the end, Amanda helped me a great deal by digging up the Queen of Atlantis and keeping her caged. And now with Thor's hammer, I have the power to force Natla to tell me the location of Helheim, and then to remove her from this world forever.

Arctic Sea

The Midgard Serpent is clearly a metaphor for some monstrous ancient device, and even my father had second thoughts about opening Helheim despite his desperate hope to find my mother. It is a risk I'm ready to take, however, to solve this mystery once and for all.

Weapons, Gear & Outfits

 

Weapons

Pistols

  • They may lack the raw punch of other weapons in her arsenal, but Lara's signature Pistols are a reliable fallback.
  • Perfect for dispatching swarms of Bats and Spiders rapidly.
  • Unlimited ammunition. If a clip runs dry while using another weapon, you can instantly switch to the Pistols to finish off a wounded opponent.
  • On the Master Survivalist difficulty setting, your priority is often to put individual foes out of battle quickly and with a minimum of fuss. This makes the Pistols less suited to fights against multiple assailants - Lara will aim for two enemies at once, prolonging the time that your primary target stays on its feet.

Submachine Guns

  • A clearly superior alternative to Lara's Pistols at close distances with a greater rate of fire, though their accuracy drops alarmingly with range.
  • Lara can wield this weapon in one hand while climbing or hanging from a pole.
  • As with the Pistols, Lara's tendency to aim for two separate targets in Dual Fire can reduce their effectiveness on the Master Survivalist difficulty setting.

Shotgun

  • Boasts outstanding close-range stopping power, with a high chance of knocking adversaries off their feet.
  • Slow rate of fire and very slow reload.
  • Using it from anything more than a few feet away is a waste - you'll probably inflict marginally greater damage by hurling strong language at your targets.

Assault Rifle

  • With a generous clip capacity and the best ranged damage of all firearms, the assault rifle is a great all-around choice.
  • That effectiveness at range enables Lara to target enemies before they get close enough to target her.
  • Less effective against bullet-resistant creatures such as Thralls.

Tranquilizer Gun

Tranquilizer darts take effect in moments and induce temporary unconsciousness. This lasts for 67 seconds in humans and 60 seconds in animals.

  • Has no effect on supernatural entities barring the pushback; kills Bats and Spiders outright.
  • This gun is very slow and inaccurate, so it pays to fire darts from close range and when the target is stationary.
  • Against groups of enemies, the Tranquilizer Gun proves immensely powerful. Reducing the number of opponents increases Lara's effectiveness in dealing with the remainder.
  • It would be remiss of us not to mention that it's possible to tranquilize troublesome foes, then slay them at leisure before they wake. Distasteful? Yes. Unsporting? Yes. Efficient? Try it and see.

Spear Gun

  • Primarily designed for underwater combat, the Spear Gun isn't without its uses on dry land. Though overshadowed by the Shotgun, it's a powerful alternative in a tight corner due to its high close-range damage, pushback and brief stun effect on most enemy types.
  • Each spear needs to be loaded individually, leaving Lara vulnerable between shots.
  • Size and encumbrance greatly limits the number of spears that can be carried. 

Sticky Grenade

  • The adhesive properties of these explosives make them utterly lethal. With exeption of Yeti Thralls, all other enemies can be dispatched with a single grenade.
  • Due to their (not inconsiderable) blast radius, you can stick grenades to walls or floors to offer groups of onrushing assailants a warm welcome.
  • Mastery technique: grenades can be detonated by bullets. For truly devastating effects, use Lock On or keep it held after you've attached a grenade to you opponent. Your next Lock On shot will target the grenade itself for an instant explosion.

Gear

Multi-Purpose Grapple

Firing a high-tension swing line with a tensile strength in excess of 1000 kg., this high grade, stainless steel grappling hook can be fired quickly and accurately with a lightning fast, auto-retract safety.

Field Camera

This game will feature a camera, which will not only be used by Lara in cutscenes, but will be usable as an in-game tool, which Lara can take pictures of beautiful vistas or even set the camera on a timer so that she can appear in the photo. These photos can be viewed at the game menu.

Utility Light

Affixed to the forward strap of her backpack, this light can provide temporary illumination in the darkest corners of Lara's explorations.
