Story
Ancient tales tell of the Dagger of Xian, a mystical weapon said to grant the power of the dragon when plunged into one’s heart. In a bygone era in China, the Emperor wielded this potent force, leading his army to conquer vast lands. However, his ultimate defeat marked a turning point. While many succumbed to his dominance, resilient warrior monks from Tibet rose against the darkness. Cunningly, they removed the dagger from the Dragon Emperor’s heart, unleashing chaos and reducing his army to carnage. The dagger found its sanctuary within The Great Wall, secured for eternity.
Presently, the dagger’s influence persists in the hearts of three distinct factions, each with their unique motivations. Lara, the eternal adventurer, finds herself entangled in their pursuit during her travels.
The sequel’s gameplay maintains the blend of action and adventure, yet with heightened intensity and more visceral combat. With 16 expansive levels and two brief but pivotal stages, Lara’s odyssey unfolds from the monumental Great Wall of China to the enchanting canals of Venice, an offshore oil rig, a sunken shipwreck, the Himalayan foothills, and a triumphant return to the Great Wall.
