LOCATION: (Start of Game) (FMV) Egypt - Temple of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(A notebook opens up and Lara reads from it.)
Lara: In Egyptian mythology, the god-king Osiris unified the kingdoms and ruled with wisdom and justice over the whole of Egypt... until he was killed by his brother, the usurper Set. (Page turns over) Osiris’ wife, the Goddess Isis, recovered her husband’s lifeless body. Using the power within the staff of Osiris, she returned him to the world, but only long enough to conceive a son, Horus. (Page turns over) When Set learned of her actions, he stole the staff and used its power to imprison Isis and Horus. Then he seized the reanimated form of Osiris, tore his body into pieces and scattered them across the land, until he ruled Egypt unopposed. (Page turns over) As his kingdom declined, he descended to the underworld, Duat, in search of greater power. But Osiris alone possessed the power to return from Duat, and without the staff, Set found himself trapped for eternity. The Temple of Osiris remained sealed for thousands of years, until I discovered a way inside... (Page turns over to see photos tapped on the page. The camera zooms a picture of Carter.) But I was not alone. Carter Bell, a rising star in archaeology, was also in search of the Staff. (Scene shows Lara and Carter running inside the temple.) The lost Staff of Osiris was inside. With our prize so close the race was on... (Carter reaches to touch the Staff.) Carter, wait! Carter: Ha! Not this time, Croft! Lara: (Reads from her journal) But it was too late. The staff was a trap, and the temple a prison. (Symbols appear on their hands.) Carter and I were cursed. (Isis and Horus appear.) Isis: We owe you our thanks, travellers, you have freed us from our prison. But you are now marked for Judgment. You do not have much time. Duat, the realm of the dead, awaits. I am Isis and this is my son, Horus. We are the last of the old gods who stood against Set. If you wish to live, we must escape this Temple and find the pieces of Osiris. |

(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run into the next chamber, where the door closes behind them.)
Isis: The trap that kept us bound here has marked you, (Lara lights a torch) and summoned Ammit, Eater of Hearts. She will burrow from beneath the earth to find you, and you will face the judgment of Anubis. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Set appears from behind some ruins.)
Set: My little gods... have you come at last to bow before me? I owe you a great thanks... For thousands of years I was lost in the dark of Duat, but when you touched the Staff, it sang to me. It guided me back here... so that I may reclaim what is mine. Isis: You are a murderer and a tyrant, Set. We will grant justice for Osiris, and seal you in Duat forever. Set: So be it. But while you withered in captivity, I mastered the secrets of Duat. I will find my way back to this world, and you have shown me the path. I will take back my throne. (Undead soldiers rise out of the ground.) Lara: Look! Set is raising his army... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(A large creature emerges out of the smoke and dust.)
Isis: It is Ammit! She devours the souls of those judged unworthy... and that is her cursed mark on your hands... (She knocks out the pillars from underneath the bridge that they are standing on.) |

Carter: Okay, now, does everyone else see that giant... thing down there? Isis: It is Ammit! She devours the souls of those judged unworthy... and that is her cursed mark on your hands... (She knocks out the pillars from underneath the bridge that they are standing on.) |

(Ammit rises up. In the next scene, Ammit chases them down the bridge way.)
Horus: The exit is close! Isis: We are close, do not falter! Carter: C’mon, almost there... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(They make it to the other side, and the bridge collapses with Ammit on it.)
Lara: It looks like she can’t reach us... for now... Isis: Demons can afford patience. As long as you are marked, Ammit will hunt you. (They head through the door.) |

(They make it to the other side, and the bridge collapses with Ammit on it.)
Lara: It looks like she can’t reach us... for now... Carter: I don’t suppose that means we’re safe? Isis: Demons can afford patience. As long as you are marked, Ammit will hunt you. (They head through the door.) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(There is a view of the exterior of the Pyramid of Osiris.)
Set: Run, little gods. Spend your last few hours chasing a dead dream. But I will return to rule this kingdom, and you cannot stop me. (They run outside.) Horus: Coward! We will stop you! Set: (Chortling maniacally...) You can try... |
LOCATION: (Cut Scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run towards an empty plinth.)
Horus: This was my father’s shrine... It’s been desecrated... Isis: Do not give in to despair my son... Osiris! We will restore your throne but we need your divine help. Guide us... (An undead skeleton jumps onto the plinth.) Carter: Not exactly the guidance I’d hoped for... |
LOCATION: (Cut Scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(The undead skeleton falls to the ground in front of the plinth after being defeated. Its body disappears and the torso of Osiris floats in its place.)
Lara: A fragment of Osiris! (Lara reaches toward to touch it.) Isis: Quickly, place what we find upon the shrine, and we can begin to restore his power. (The torso disappears and rests on one of the pedestals surrounding the shrine.) Horus: One step closer to my father’s murderer... Carter: That piece fell right into our laps... I don’t expect the next one to come so easy. (They look at a golden statue.) Lara: Those smaller statues bear the glyphs of Osiris as well. Isis: Yes. With the first fragment in place, his statues can offer us guidance. |

(Set rises out of the ground.)
Set: Since you will not bow to me, as Khepri did, then my scarabs will devour your flesh! |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Tomb of the Timekeeper (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara runs onto a bridge where there is a bag of gems lying around. The gate closes behind her.)
Lara: Well of course it’s a trap... (Lara uses a bomb to destroy the blocked wall ahead, as the bridge close retracts beneath her feet.) Let’s move! (As she makes her way up the steps, the place is shaking as boulders roll towards her.) We’ve set off a cave-in! |

Carter: Croft... I may be new to this, but that looks like a trap. (They run onto the bridge and a gate closes them in.) Lara: Well of course it’s a trap... (A bomb is used to destroy the blocked wall ahead, as the bridge close retracts beneath them.) Let’s move! (They make their way up the steps as the place shakes and boulders roll towards them.) Carter: Oh my god... Lara: We’ve set off a cave-in! Horus: Onward, go! |

Lara: Excellent... another fragment of Osiris. (She collects it.) |

Set: (Voice) You seek to take what is mine by rights, and you think I will stand idly by? |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Tomb of the Silversmith (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run towards a wall of hieroglyphs.)
Lara: Look here. This mural describes the myth of Khepri. Horus: Myth? Lara: Sorry, old habit. Carter: Yeah, look. Khepri was a servant to Ra, the sun god. He was responsible for the sunrise. He rolled the sun across the sky, just like a scarab beetle rolls a ball of dung. Hence, the beetle-head. Lara: You missed a passage there... he was also connected with the mythical creation of the world. |

(In the next room, a fiery skeleton is brought back to life.)
Lara: Ah... this could prove difficult. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(They return the left hand to the shrine.)
Lara: We’ve brought another of your fragments, Osiris. (The centre of the shrine lowers to reveal an entrance.) Carter: What the hell?! Isis: Do not be alarmed. Osiris would never harm us. There is something he wishes us to see. Carter: I sure hope you’re right... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Outside, it is now daylight and a gate in the distance opens.)
Lara: We can reach the temple, Osiris has cleared the way. Isis: Set will not be pleased... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris - Osiris Temple Chamber (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run inside the pyramid where there are three doorways.)
Isis: These paths will take us to the chamber of the gods... Carter: And there, beneath the water, that must be Sobek’s chamber... And it looks like Set claimed the top for himself... Lara: That door, with the mark of Khepri. Osiris has opened it for us... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris - Tomb of Khepri (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara steps onto a rocky ground, which turns out to be a large boulder that moves away from the path.)
Lara: Oh my! (Khepri climbs up the side of the large boulder.) Isis: Khepri... More monster than god now... |

(Khepri is defeated.)
Set: (Voice) No! What have you done? Lara: Exactly what I said I would. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris - Tomb of Khepri (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara picks up the next piece of Osiris.)
Lara: That’s a canopic jar! Isis: One set of the organs of Osiris! They hold great power... (Lara collects the jar.) We must return the jar to the shrine... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Outside the pyramid, it is raining.)
Set: (Voice) So you think you have struck a great victory, and now you expect me to cry in anguish. Isis: Set has unleashed Sobek, the crocodile god. We will have to contend with rains, and far worse... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Pyramid of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(They begin to head for the waterfall of Sobek.)
Lara: Look, the water... Isis: Set would drown the whole world just to spite us. Carter: Yeah, but he’s given us the way forward as well. Does that seem right? Lara: Then there isn’t a moment to spare. Quickly, the Canopic jar. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Waterfall of Sobek (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(They approach the Tomb of the Ferryman. Ferocious crocodiles jump out of the water.)
Isis: No... These were once Sobek’s priests... Set’s corruption has twisted everything. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Tomb of the Ferryman (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run inside the tomb and stop at a wall of hieroglyphs.)
Lara: This mural tells the story of Sobek. Carter: Sobek was the god of many things, depending on who was writing it down. The Greek historians could never really agree... Horus: The Greeks? Is that upstart society still around, or did they talk themselves to death? Carter: Uh... I’ll give you that history lesson later, Horus. Look here, these are some of his names: “Pointed of Teeth” and “He who eats...” uh... This mural portrays him as the god of the Nile and water. Isis: And those are the powers that Set now wields. Come, we must find a way to stop the floodwaters. |

Lara: That should provide us with a path... |

Isis: We have done it! (Lara touches the fragment and it disappears.) Lara: All right, let’s make our way back to the Shrine before we drown. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(The foot is returned to the pedestal.)
Isis: Look. His strength grows. Soon Osiris will wrest control of Sobek’s power from Set, and we can face the god of crocodiles. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Tomb of the Lamplighter (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(They reach the room where the right foot of Osiris is found.)
Lara: Ah! We’ve done it! (Lara collects it.) Isis: Now, back to the shrine! |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus reach the shrine. The foot is returned to its pedestal.)
Isis: Osiris is almost strong enough to overpower Sobek... One more, and we should be ready to face him. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt - Temple of Osiris - Oracle’s Chamber (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(The gates close behind Lara after she enters the arena area.)
Set: (Voice) Osiris knew that his Oracle betrayed him. Everything she saw, I saw as well, and that cost him his life. (Eyes pop out of the ground.) And now, it will cost you yours. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of Sobek (Single Player)
(After striking a bell, Sobek’s head emerges from the water.)
Lara: There! In the water! Isis: Sobek... Lara: He’s coming around again... Isis: Stand fast! We must stay on the raft! (Sobek jumps out of the water to grab the hanging tray.) Lara: There! |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of Sobek (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(After defeating Sobek, a small shrine rises out of the water. Lara runs in to collect the next piece of Osiris.)
Isis: A Canopic Jar. We have come a long way... I hope it will be enough... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of the Torturer (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(After surviving the tomb’s trap, Lara collects the thighs and trunk of Osiris.)
Isis: This is it...we have nearly enough to complete his statue. We are so close... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Shrine of Osiris (Multiplayer)

Lara: There... we’re getting close. Isis: Let us hope we’re not too late... |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of the Pharaoh (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Lara sees a piece of Osiris but as she approaches to take it, a gate closes in from of her.)
Lara: Ah. Well, here we go. (The body of the Pharaoh rises from a mist.) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of the Pharaoh (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Soon the Pharaoh is defeated and the gate drops.)
Isis: It is done! Lara: Let’s not celebrate until we’re out of here... (She collects the arms of Osiris.) |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside (Single Player)
(Continues from previous area. When a nearby button is pressed, the gears for the door try to turn but are stuck by ice.)
Isis: There must be some way of thawing Set’s ice. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris - Cliffside - Tomb of the Architect (Single Player)
(Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus run inside. Just inside the tomb, there are statues and a wall of hieroglyphs.)
Lara: Look... that’s Set... Carter: But he’s not a villain here. Look, that’s him protecting Ra. And over there, he’s keeping travellers from harm. This mural... it’s one of the oldest we’ve seen. Horus: Indeed. Set was once... family, a beloved brother of Osiris. Isis: Those days are gone. Set has broken the holy cycles, and seeks to bring the world to ruin. He is a shadow of what he once was, forgotten by the mortals who once revered us. Even gods despair when there is nothing but the void to keep them company. |

(Osiris’ head is placed on the pedestal around the shrine.)
Isis: I’ve dreamed of this day for so long... We have enough of Osiris’ power to melt Set’s frost. Horus: There is only one Canopic Jar left, and we can raise Osiris. |

(The ice covering the final door breaks.)
Lara: Set’s chamber awaits. Are we ready? |

(Continues on from previous scene. Reaching the centre platform, Set appears from the hole in the centre.)
Set: Behold, I am greater than even Osiris, for I have conquered death itself and returned, more powerful than ever. And I have you to thank... (He climbs up onto the platform.) Come. Let us finish this. (The spirit of Osiris rises beside Lara.) What? No! No! I killed you! You’re dead! (Osiris reaches out a hand.) Osiris: Brother... embrace me... Let me show you the true meaning of death. |
LOCATION: (Cut scene) Egypt – Temple of Osiris – Pyramid of Osiris - Tomb of Set (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Set is defeated and he stumbles back to the centre of the arena. Arms rise from the hole in the centre.)

LOCATION: (FMV) Egypt – Temple of Osiris – Pyramid of Osiris - Tomb of Set (Single Player & Multiplayer)
(Continues on from previous scene. Isis is looking up at Osiris.)
Isis: Osiris? My beloved? Osiris: I do not have long, Isis. You have restored much of my power, but I belong in the Land of the Dead now. (The scene switches to show Horus reaching to his father.) Horus: Father, you cannot leave, not again. Osiris: It is the way of the world, my son. Set will try to break free, and Duat will not hold him forever. (The scene changes to show the three gods together. Lara and Carter are watching on.) It is a cycle. Horus: If he does, we will be here. We will stop him again. Osiris: You must be forever vigilant. Mortals. You have done the work of gods this day, and for that, I owe you everything. (Lara looks at the mark on her hand.) You are free of Set’s curse – (Carter looks at his hand and the mark disappears.) Free to choose you own path... (The scene shows Lara and Carter listening.) My family, know that I will watch over you. Keep me in your hearts until I return. (The scene changes to show Lara, Carter, Isis and Horus leaving the temple.) Carter: Well Croft, I suppose I owe you an apology. If I hadn’t touched the staff... Lara: Water under the bridge, Carter. I suppose it would have been me, had I been ahead... Carter: Don’t you dare tell anyone this, but... it was a hell of an honor to work with you. Lara: Your secret is safe with me. And... likewise. (Isis turns to Lara whilst Carter shakes Horus’ hand.) Isis: Should you come back this way again, find us. We will need your help. Set will not stay dead for long, and the fight is not yet over. (Isis and Horus stand guard at the temple’s doorway.) You may keep the treasure you took from this place, as long as you use them in the service of the light. Go, with the blessings of Osiris. (Lara and Carter walk away from the temple complex.) Lara: With the curse broken, we were free to choose our own path, to leave and never look back, if we wished. But there are many paths, and some choices are easier than others. (Their photo is stuck into Lara’s journal.) Set will return, and the gods will need my help. (The journal closes.) And when they do... I’ll be ready. |
