PERU

We start in the city of Vilcabamba, where we are initially attacked by a horde of wolves. The locations in Peru are typical of the jungle. The levels are the easiest in the game, the enemies much weaker. We fight bats, wolves and bears, although later on we encounter more difficult enemies such as dinosaurs, including raptors and tyrannosaurs. We also meet Natla’s henchman Larson, who tries to make it even more difficult.

GREECE

We end up in the monastery of San Francis, where we spend quite a bit of time, away from the open. The difficulty level increases, there are more enemies, also the puzzles are more difficult. We have to deal with lions, crocodiles, and big rats. We also have to cross a water maze a few times. The levels are long and intricate, if a little monotonous, but it is certainly impossible to get bored – the dangers compensate for the landscape. We also meet another bad guy, Pierre, Larson’s accomplice.

EGYPT

The best, and only, set of levels in the game! Lara slides across the sand in an Egyptian temple, battles a number of cat-like creatures and tons of mummies. We also encounter a number of puzzles, which are of course much more difficult. We meet Larson again.

I enjoyed the levels not just because I love Egypt – it’s pure adventure in a nutshell! I think Lara realises her full potential in the Egyptian locations, which is why Last Revelation is so brilliant.

ATLANTIS

We land on Atlantis, with no weapons or equipment – we have to collect everything as we explore. The levels are out of this world, both in terms of difficulty and look and feel. We fight mutants and eventually also the queen of Atlantis, Natla, who is terribly difficult to kill. In the end, she’s the final boss.

I forgot to say that in each level we find fragments of Scion, who we lose at the beginning of the locations.
