Story

Main article: Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness Story

Because of troubles at Louis Bouchard's Club Le Serpent Rouge, the Parisian underworld czar Louis Bouchard had to move to a secret hideout under St. Aicard's Church, in the basements.

As Lara makes her way in the depths of the hideout, she finds Arnaud, a man who worked for Bouchard, but lies deformed and visibly in pain on a stretcher. Bouchard refuses to answer what had happened to the man. Upon finding him, Lara has a discussion with Bouchard. He will hand her forge passports, which she has to deliver to Daniel Rennes. To reach Rennes' Pawnshop, she needs to cut across St. Aicard's Church and the Parisian Ghetto.

Walkthrough

Main article: Bouchard's Hideout Walkthrough

The path to Bouchard is pretty straight forward with some turns here and there. The main focus is on the interactive dialogue between Lara Croft and Louis Bouchard: if Lara is too aggressive, he will shoot her lethally. Once the dialogue has been done succesfully and Lara has gotten the passports, she must find her way out.
