Tomb Raider: The Osiris Complex
For the last week, the newspaper headlines have all been about the daring theft of the Leydon Papyrus, an early Egyptian work on chemical processes. Lara now receives an anonymous commission to retrieve a mysterious relic, the Osiris Codex, from a recently uncovered tomb. Surely there is a connection? The stolen manuscript is the earliest record of ancient Egyptian metallurgy, and Osiris (The Egyptian god of resurrection and eternal life) has always been inexorably linked with alchemy…
Run, jump, climb, shoot and think your way through a variety of levels, watching out for the traps, obstacles and enemies that will inevitably hinder your progress as you travel deeper underground in your search for the fabled treasures of Egypt.

Her destination is a nameless ancient monastery, which sits high on an escarpment. Lara must secure a priceless ancient vase containing Cinnabar, a substance used in the creation of life affirming tinctures.

Tomb Raider: Elixir of Life
Tomb Raider: Elixir of Life is the final part of a 3-episode adventure featuring Lara Croft. In the first episode Lara received a commission to retrieve a famous Egyptian work, “The Osiris Codex”.

Suspicious of her employer’s motives, Lara thinks someone is trying to gather together the ingredients to formulate the fabled Elixir of Life. She may be skeptical of its actual potential, but nonetheless Lara is still reluctant to hand over the artifacts she has recovered. Instead she decides to discover for herself the real intentions of her clandestine employer.
Lara’s investigations lead her to the Scottish castle home of a billionaire recluse and inside she discovers a private museum big enough to rival that of any nation. Her suspicions are proved right; the secretive curator’s intentions are far from innocent. Lara Croft must overcome state of the art security systems and an army of lethal defense robots before she can stop the maniac from realizing his plan.

Tomb Raider: Puzzle Paradox
Lara’s back, and this time she’s faced with her most taxing adventure to date. The plucky explorer must use her logical skills to complete a series of addictive puzzles based on the Tomb Raider: Legend story. During this Journey she will encounter deadly traps, darkened tombs and complex ancient locking mechanisms; all of which must be tackled under severe time constraints.
In ‘Trapped’ Lara must manoeuvre gems in order to disarm the surrounding traps and continue. Each quad should contain one of each colour gem, as should each row and column.
‘Illumination’ places the adventurer in a darkened tomb; Lara must manipulate light using splitters, double sided mirrors and teleports in order to light the way ahead.
Finally, ‘The Vault’ is a complicated ancient lock which must be deciphered. Match either colour or symbol to that of the centre rune to disperse each rune to its corresponding storage sphere and solve the puzzle.
