Lara is forced to go on alone when Trinity cuts off Etzli's forces. They plan to disrupt Amaru's ceremony while avoiding the fourth and final cataclysm, a volcanic eruption that will destroy the city. He leaves Lara and Jonah to escape the third cataclysm, a massive earthquake that causes a landslide and destroys the mission.īack in Paititi, Lara and Jonah help the newly-crowned Etzli lead an assault on an underground temple complex at Paititi's center. Amaru has used his position in Trinity to manipulate them into preventing it. He refuses, as the Cleansing will only affect Paititi. Lara tries to persuade Amaru to use the Cleansing ritual to benefit the world. He admits that he ordered her father's death to prevent him from finding Paititi and revealing it to the world. Amaru finds them and forces Lara to surrender the Box. Lara and Jonah find a secret catacomb beneath a church that leads to Lopez's tomb and the Box. Driven mad by the Box's influence, Lopez established a mission near Paititi where he trained acolytes to complete the ritual. She momentarily breaks down when she finds Jonah alive, but he manages to calm her down, and they decipher the Box's location. Believing Jonah to be dead, Lara goes on a rampage that destroys an oil refinery and slaughters everyone there except Rourke, who escapes. Rourke attacks Lara and Jonah and separated as they leave Paititi to decipher the next clue. Before she dies, Unuratu implores Lara to complete the ritual but warns her not to let the Box influence her. Unuratu is shot by Commander Rourke, Amaru's second in command. Lara rescues Urunatu and realizes that Amaru does not fully understand the ritual: the power of Kukulkan is not enough to prevent the apocalypse instead, the ritual sacrifices Kukulkan to stop it. Lara infiltrates the cult's temple and overhears Amaru telling Unuratu that the Box was hidden by Andres Lopez, a missionary sent to Paititi by Trinity during the Spanish conquest of South America. Lara also reencounters the creatures and learns they are the Yaaxil, guardians of the Box. Believing the cult already has the Box, Lara, and Unuratu attempt to steal it, but Unuratu is captured. Unuratu directs Lara to the Box, but Lara finds it is missing. Lara sees Dominguez is the leader of a cult dedicated to Kukulkan and Unuratu reveals he is her brother-in-law Amaru, who was taken by Trinity as a child and raised to complete the ritual and reshape the world in their image. When Lara saves a boy named Etzli (Kamran Lucas), she and Jonah are brought into Paititi by his mother Unuratu (Patricia Velásquez), queen of the city. Lara witnesses Trinity soldiers being slaughtered by strange humanoid monsters. Exploring local tombs reveals that piercing the Box with the Dagger will grant the user the power of the god Kukulkan, which must be used to halt the Cleansing. Their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle during the second cataclysm-a massive storm-and the two find their way to Paititi, the hidden city shown in the murals.
