Lara Croft is in a tomb in Eastern Malaysia searching for a golden idol when she receives a phone call from a good friend, Wally MacAlister with a warning, but he is killed by an old foe. This puts her off this particular treasure hunt, leaving her feeling weakened. She decides to head to Cambodia to visit a legendary trainer to prepare herself for a future battle.
