Beneath the Ashes
|
RELEASE: February 24th 2009
COMPOSER: Troels B. Folmann DEVELOPER: Crystal Dynamics PUBLISHER: Eidos Interactive PRICE: £6.75 STORE DESCRIPTION: “Beneath the Ashes” is an all-new level that extends the Tomb Raider: Underworld experience. Lara Croft returns to the remains of Croft Manor in order to find a powerful artifact hidden in a mysterious centuries-old labyrinth deep beneath the estate. This download features a brand new action-packed adventure full of new challenges to overcome, an all new enemy and six new outfits! STORY: After the events of ‘Tomb Raider: Underworld’, Lara Croft returns to her father's study. She looks at a piece of paper that was amongst his documents and says that the artefact shown in the picture is nowhere to be found. The artefact is similar to Thor's artefacts, as it also glows blue. Zip asks her to read the engravings on it but she can't make it out. As she puts the paper down and wonders about it, a Knight thrall climbs up from the surrounding chasm. Lara shoots it and now has an idea of where to go. Eventually, she find the artefact and reads the inscription engraved on it - 'Okh Eshivar'. Something appears behind her, and she turns to see a thrall. She says the phrase again to stop it approaching her. Suddenly, her doppelganger appears. Lara orders the thrall to kill her but instead the doppelganger kills the thrall. She tries to go for Lara but Lara says the phrase again, making the doppelganger stop still. Lara asks her that she has to do as she orders, and the double nods. She tells her to "make sure Natla suffers". The doppelganger runs off, and Zip asks her why she let her leave, especially since she killed Alister. Lara replies "And now she is the instrument of his vengeance". Mission Intro:
Recently I have come across an old file of my father’s that describes an artefact of great power. This artefact not only has the ability to create thralls, but etched into it is a word that, if spoken, gives you the power to control those horrible things. To find this artefact, I must return to my father’s secret study lying under the remains of my family’s estate.

Lara's Shadow
|
RELEASE: March 10th 2009
COMPOSER: Troels B. Folmann DEVELOPER: Crystal Dynamics PUBLISHER: Eidos Interactive PRICE: £6.75 STORE DESCRIPTION: Play Tomb Raider from a new perspective. Experience the world as the Doppelganger, a dark and deadly double of Lara with superhuman powers and instructions to end the Croft lineage once and for all. With the Doppelganger’s unique Shadow Powers you can defeat enemies with brutal melee attacks. Use super-human agility to make it past challenges Lara could never pass. Fulfil this new mission and become the ultimate instrument of revenge. STORY: After Amanda threw her over the edge using her Wraith Stone during the fight she had with Lara, the doppelganger landed on a platform. She awakes soon after and starts making her way out. The doppelganger knows that she needs to help Natla, and when she manages to get the transformer pod working for her, Natla orders her to kill Lara before she kills herself. Four days later the doppelganger finds Lara in Croft Manor. Lara uses a phrase seen on another Thrall artefact to control her. With the doppelganger still, Lara asks her what she is. The double replies that she is her with the flaws removed. Lara asks her if free will is a flaw, and she replies that obsession and compulsion are much the same. Lara then asks what she would do if she was her own master. The double asks her the same question. Lara tells her to ignore all commands; she is a slave to no one. Saying this frees the doppelganger. Lara gives her one last request, one that the doppelganger is happy to fulfil- to make sure Natla suffers. The double returns back to the healing chamber to destroy the transformer pod. It falls to the ground, smashing up, and Natla tries to order her to help her. She stands by and does nothing. Natla calls for help from thralls but no one comes. She drowns in the rising Eitr as the Doppelganger watches with a smile. Mission Intro:
Jormungandr’s awakening has been averted, delaying Ragnarök in the process. But at what cost? The world tree has been decimated and one of the few remaining bastions of Atlantean technology lies crumbled at the end of the world.
