* Dagger of Xian: A powerful artefact that will grant tremendous powers to those who stab themselves in the heart with it. Whoever does this is turned into a mighty dragon.
* Mask of Tornarsuk: An Inuit artefact found by Lara in a large, hidden kingdom of gold, on a remote island in the Bering Sea. The mask is made out of pure gold. It is also the key to unlocking the Guardian of the Kingdom from its prison. The Mask of Tornarsuk can re-animate the spirits of dead beings. When Lara found the mask, the spirits of Inuit Warrior that had long died were revived, and their spirits assumed the shape of human bodies.
* Meteorite Artefacts: A group of five crystal artefacts that originate from a meteorite that landed on Earth millions of years ago in Antarctica, which was then dense with jungles. It was fashioned from a meteorite by Polynesians, that impacted upon Antarctica many years ago.
** Infada Stone: The powers of the Infada Stone allow the bearer to levitate from the ground. The bearer may also manipulate energy from the atmosphere, and compress it into the forms of energy bursts and beams. To obtain the powers of the Infada Stone, the bearer must stab it deep through the heart.
** Eye of Isis: The powers of the Eye of Isis prevent the process of aging. It also allows the bearer to accumulate energy from the atmosphere and compress it into the form of green beams.
** Ora Dagger: The powers of the Ora Dagger allow the bearer to summon beasts and manipulate electro-static particles in the atmosphere to create lightning. The bearer may also produce an energy barrier to repel gunshots and missiles.
** Element 115: While in the game the artifact doesn't display a visible power, it can be speculated that Element 115 could work like a powerful energy source to power any machine or even the other meteorite artifact to amplify its powers.
** Hand of Rathmore: The powers of the Hand of Rathmore are unknown. However, it is implied, in-game and by the developers, that if Willard had the Hand of Rathmore, he would have become a higher being, instead of an arachnoid beast.
* Amulet of Horus: An ankh-shaped artefact imbued with the power to banish the god Set from the world. In addition, it is also the key required to unlock the Temple of Semerkhet at Karnak and the crusaders' vaults at the Citadel of Saladin in Cairo.

* Iris: An artifact that Werner Von Croy and Lara Croft first saw in Angkor Wat, Cambodia.
* Philosopher's Stone: One of the first artefacts Lara found in Tomb Raider: Chronicles. The Philosopher's Stone can transmute any metal into gold. Maybe it could also make the Elixir of Life.
* Spear of Destiny: An ancient Christian artefact infused with tremendous powers after it was used to pierce the dead body of Jesus Christ. Also, one of the most dangerous artefacts in history, it was responsible for the destruction of two submarines before being finally left to its slumber at the bottom of the Russian Sea.
* Bestiary: An old book used to control demons by reading aloud their name from the book. Lara did this to control Vladimir Kaleta, whose demon name was Verdilet.
* Chirugai: Kurtis Trent's mysterious weapon. It is an heirloom from the Lux Veritatis. The Chirugai is made from a rare meteorite alloy beryllium. Kurtis, in his early years, has trained with the Lux Veritatis to use the blade.
* Periapt Shards: Artefacts found in Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. They are crystalline shards, shaped like spearheads. In an ancient drawing, these three shards surround a lion head. The lion is probably the Golden Lion mentioned in the prophecy of the Nephilim.There are only three Periapt Shards. They were in possession of the Lux Veritatis, who used them to stop Pieter Van Eckhardt for centuries. It is said that only Periapt Shards can stop Eckhardt for good. They were entrusted to Konstantin Heistuurm for a time, but after Pieter Van Eckhardt returned, and killed Konstantin, the shards were sent to Kurtis Trent.
* Sanglyph: Also known as The Blood Sign, is an artefact of ancient power created by Pieter Van Eckhardt. It was made from five metallic parts, depicting symbols. The Sanglyph was split into five pieces, and hidden inside five paintings that depicted evil images by Eckhardt. He did this to keep it safe since he needed it to revive the Nephilim race.The Sanglyph grants the bearer the power to manipulate energy into the form of purple beams or flames. It can also create energy barriers that prevent all physical passage through them. Finally, the Sanglyph can make identical copies of the bearer and use them as weapons.
