==Plot Elements==
*Set immediately after the evens of Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft, Lara discovers the existence of a fifth artifact, held at Doctor Willard's Loch Ness estate. Using the now departed Doctor's wallet as a guide, she learns that another person is after the artifact, but the name has been obscured so she is unsure of who it is.
*Lara heads to Scotland in order to procure the Fifth Meteorite Artifact.
*Arriving back in the UK, Lara uses her personal helicopter to travel to Scotland and infiltrates Willard's Loch Ness estate. As she explores Willard's estate, she is confronted by numerous guards, guard dogs and even the Loch Ness monster itself.
*Lara is able to locate two Thistle Stones that unlock the heart of Willard's estate.
*As Lara travels deeper into Willard's estate, she uncovers a myriad of traps and numerous kilted enemies ready to dispatch Lara for intruding.
*Managing to avoid the dangers, Lara uncovers an open vault, surrounded by a bizarre glowing substance that seems highly corrosive.
*As the vault is empty, it seems that the artifact was stolen, leaving Lara with no further leads.
*After reaching a dead end in Scotland, Lara returns to England. She then discovers a newspaper article detailing a tunnel collapse at Shakespeare's Cliff, caused by a "mysterious glowing substance" - the same substance Lara encountered at Willard's estate. Lara follows up this lead by heading to Shakespeare's Cliff and investigating the tunnel. She encounters armed men and a corporation logo - SLINC, giving her an idea of who might be behind the theft of the Fifth Artifact. She discovers that the tunnel has collapsed due to the glowing substance, and manages to safely traverse the unstable area, locating a hidden entrance to an underwater laboratory.
*Entering the underwater laboratory, Lara discovers a massive underwater complex housing submarines, divers and more armed guards. She is soon confronted with the familiar glowing substance again, as well as evidence of experimentation using the artifact, both on animals and humans. As luck would have it, she is finally able to locate the Fifth Artifact, the Hand of Rathmore and she delves deeper into the facility.
*Emerging from the underwater Laboratory to the French coast, Lara enters an abandoned zoo. She fends off numerous exotic animals, from white tigers to monkeys. Exploring deeper into the zoo, she avoids more traps and unlocks an aviary, leading her to some underground ruins, and coming face to face with an old enemy...
*Lara's suspicions are proved right, as she comes face to face with an old enemy, Sophia Leigh. It appears that Miss Leigh had stolen the Hand of Rathmore from Willard's Estate and brought it to an underwater laboratory to use in experiments. It is possible that she intended to develop cosmetics from the experiments, as she was doing in London.
*Lara now races to the top of the ruins against Sophia, in order to claim the Hand of Rathmore.
*Sophia attacks Lara with her staff, sending bolts of energy at the adventurer.
*Reaching the top of the ruins, Lara is finally able to shoot Sophia down, ending the businesswoman once and for all.
==Notes==
*Unofficially set within the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.
