Unique Enemy:Tthe larger secret areas each contain a unique enemy, including Nessie, Willard's Highland warriors, pteranodons, a submarine and mutant lizard-men.PC game | English | Publisher: Eidos | 363 MBįrom the lofty towers of the late Dr.
Underwater Base: The Blackwater Research Facility where Lara finally locates the Hand of Rathmore.
In this level's major secret, Lara gets to meet "Nessie" itself, or at least Willard's giant, animatronic, fire-breathing version of it.
Stock Ness Monster: Visible in the distance in the first level.
Another secret in the third level contains George Stephenson's "Rocket" locomotive, along with a rocket launcher.
Sidequest: In all five full-size levels, one of the secrets is a large side area, each containing unique sights and enemies, and several pickups.
"It's a Madhouse!" is a quote from Planet of the Apes (the level features a zoo with monkeys).
"Sleeping with the Fishes" is a phrase from The Godfather, and is associated with gangster culture in general.
"Shakespeare Cliff" is a real-world location beneath which the Channel Tunnel enters/leaves the UK, and where, in the 1870s, the first attempt to dig a tunnel was attempted.
Additionally, a "fling" is "a brief period of indulging one's impulses" - cleanly in this case (Lara loves clambering over ancient ruins).
The "Highland Fling" is a solo dance from the Scottish Highlands.
Shout-Out: Some of the level names are references to other things:.
#TOMB RAIDER THE LOST ARTIFACT FULL#
Also, Lara is seeking the fifth artifact over five full levels.
Rule of Three: Every level except the last has three secrets.
Recurring Boss: Sophia Leigh, who stole the fifth artifact (evidently having contingency plans lest she lose the Eye of Isis).
Ptero Soarer: Pteranodons are found in the secret area in the third level.
Not the Nessie: Although Lara comes face to face with a robotic Nessie, it's unclear whether this is the same one that is visible on the loch.
Lost World: The large secret area in the third level.
Lighter and Softer: In comparison to the main game, this has a rather more whimsical feel, particularly when it comes to the secret areas.
How Lara manages to carry it around safely is a mystery.
Harmful to Touch: The Hand of Rathmore seems particularly dangerous, and more immediately so than the other artifacts, leaving, as it does, a trail of toxic mutagen wherever it goes (and, in the third level, major destruction - quite why is unexplained).
Foreshadowing: Workers, machinery and containers at the construction site bear the company name "SLinc".
Disconnected Side Area: Just as much a feature here as in the main game, perhaps even more so.
Corridor Cubbyhole Run: Well, Lara does venture onto the railway tracks of the Channel Tunnel.
The newspaper reporting the disastrous events in the Tunnel is called "UK Today".
Truth in Television as "Chunnel" was already widely used as a contraction of "Channel Tunnel".
The company overseeing the construction of the Channel Tunnel is called "Eurochunnel", with a similar logo to that of the real one.
Artifact Title: Besides the obvious, this game features no tombs whatsoever.
