 ===Artifacts===
 Tomb Raider III is about collecting four powerful meteoric artifacts from various places across the globe. Each individual artifact has it's own unique power, but when all four are combined in a [[Meteorite Cavern]] deep below the surface of an island just of the coast of Antarctica, they have the power to rapidly accelerate human evolution. Each artifact, no matter what it's individual power, can mutate an living being to a certain extent, but for pure evolution, all four must be collected and put in their respective places in the [[Meteorite Cavern]]. The Artifact name, image, power (if known), owner and location are shown below:

+====Ora Dagger and Element 115 Game Development Mistake====
 An important note is that the Ora Dagger and Element 115 were mixed up during the creation of the game, so in some games, when you complete [[Nevada]], you'll get the Ora Dagger then, and the Element 115 at the end of the [[South Pacific]] (though this is just the name; whatever game type the look of the artifact will be the same).

 It was revealed in [[Lost Artifact|Tomb Raider III: Lost Artifact]], the multi-level expansion of Tomb Raider III, that there was a fifth artifact; The Hand of Rathmore. It powers in the Meteorite Cavern are unknown, so perhaps only four are required for the evolution process. The individual powers of this artifact are also unknown.

 Lara’s first quest is to find the [[Embalming Fluid]] from the [[Natural History Museum]] and bring it to its receptacle at the lair of [[The Damned]].

		+	==Antarctica==
		+	The adventures at the Antarctica are preceeded with an FMV that shows Lara’s arrival to the cold continent.
		+	----
		+	====Beginning FMV====
		+	Lara’s travelling by a helicopter, the views of the cold Antarctica just fly by, showing the rough nature. Apparently the weather doesn’t seem like the most ideal one for helicopter trips. The pilot tries to contact the base of the RX Technologies:<br>
		+	'''”This is Blemwetch to base. Come in base! Come in base! Dead ear, man…”''' <br>
		+	Lara keeps looking outside from the open side of the helicopter. The pilot continues to talk:<br>
		+	'''"Gotta get down. This is too much!"'''<br>
		+	Rough storm wind catches the aircraft as it attempts to land, shaking it to every direction. Lara has a hard time trying to keep on aboard the helicopter as it shakes.<br>
		+	'''”Hold on back there!”''' the pilot shouts, trying to do the best he can to land them safely.<br>
		+	The helicopter is shown flying in the air, taken by the wind and hitting some snowy cliffs a bit. Despite the rough fly, it manages to land.<br>
		+	'''“Aaaargh!”''' the pilot yells as they land uncontrollably. With sheer astonishment in his voice he continues:<br>
		+	'''“Wooh! Ah hah… That was scary.”''' the pilot comments their landing.<br>
		+	Lara battles with fallen luggage that has trapped her, kicking herself free. Suddenly the ice underneath the helicopter starts to break away. The pilot yells in fear, as he has no way to safe himself. Lara however manages to jump just in time out from the helicopter.
		+	We see the aircraft quickly plummeting to the depths of the ice cold water, hearing the death scream of the pilot.
		+	----
		+	After the demise of the pilot, Lara is alone at the Antarctica. Well, alone until she hops on to the [[RX Explorer]] where she finds hostile crewmen. Apparently not everyone at the RX Tech are thrilled to see Lara delivering important artefacts to [[Mark Willard]]…
		+	On the RX Explorer Lara enables a new vehicle for her to use: an [[Inflatable Boat]] that will help her cross the ice cold water.
		+
		+	This sturdy, yellow boat enables Lara to reach the base of the RX Tech, where more angry men wait with their dogs.
		+	But something much more alarming is found at one of the houses in the base area. A nearly dead [[Crawling Mutant Scientist]]!
		+	In the end cutscene of the level, Lara confronts Mark Willard about this creature.
		+	----
		+	====Confronting Mark Willard====
		+	Lara enters a room where she finds the happy Dr. Willard enjoying some food that appears to be a tomato soup and a piece of bread.<br>
		+	'''”Oh aye, come in!”''' Willard greets Lara in a happy tone and continues:<br>
		+	'''”Make yourself at home. It won’t be a minute.”'''<br>
		+	'''”At home?”''' Lara asks, she can’t believe her ears.<br>
		+	'''”I’ve just met a man, who may as well as been Brundlefly”''', she continues, approaching Mr. Willard with the briefcase containing the Meteorite Artefacts.<br>
		+	Willard doesn’t seem to be surprised about Lara’s encounter as he comments:<br>
		+	'''”Fascinating, isn’t it?”'''<br>
		+	Lara is appalled.<br>
		+	'''”He was your own employee!”''' she says as she loudly drops the briefcase to the table where Willard is eating.<br>
		+	Willard has an explanation ready, and he also starts to reveal his true plans:<br>
		+	'''”He was a molecular biologist. He’d been intrigued with himself! Thanks to this material, his hock genes were multiplied. Do that, and the complexities of our bodies increase beyond our comprehension! But this is just a fringe of its possibilities we’re seeing here. My powers' exposure came from the material impregnated into the meteorite crater. The real capacity is lying in its core, which these artefacts you’re so attached to will let me access to!”'''<br>
		+	'''”But you’ve no control over this!”''' Lara says.<br>
		+	'''”This is just not about evently spawning mutants!”''' Willard says, getting a bit frustrated. He continues:<br>
		+	'''”It’s an entirely natural acceleration of the evolution. A real-life laboratory of Spardon life!”'''<br>
		+	'''”Not everyone here wants to be guinea pigs! Multi-appended or not!”''' Lara says, objecting Willard’s evil plan.<br>
		+	'''”That’s unfortunate. It’s been hidden, miss, for too long. Now the time is spot on – I can’t leave it! The Polynesians fled in their ignorance, [[Charles Darwin\|Darwin’s]] half-wits sealed us the same, ironically making Darwin himself miss this angle in the evolution. But now, I’m here! I have the access, the knowledge, the artefacts…”''' Willard tells ominously.<br>
		+	Lara has drawn her weapons, not going to let Willard have the artefacts without a fight.<br>
		+	'''”Yes, but you bumped into me in India and sent me to find them for you, bringing me here to listen to this gibberish. Your perception of good timing is… Bad!”''' Lara says, being ready to pull the trigger.<br>
		+	'''”I don’t know about that!”''' Willard says, knocking the table over which causes Lara to fall onto the floor.<br>
		+
		+	Willard takes the briefcase with the artefacts, runs to the coatrack at the doorway. While running, he kicks Lara quite hard, giving himself more time to run. Lara recovers from the attack, and sets outside after Willard. Taking cover in the doorway, she peeks around the corner. Willard, now dressed in a warm jacket, shoots at her but the shots miss.
		+
		+	Willard keeps running off with the artefacts, Lara is following him. Willard uses a remote control to call an elevator up, and he takes a few slippery steps before reaching the lift. Lara fires at him on the way, but misses. Willard throws himself flat onto the floor of the elevator as it takes him down to the depths of the [[RX-Tech Mines]]. Lara won’t miss the ride as she jumps to the shaft, landing to the lift’s roof.
		+
		+	==RX-Tech Mines==
		+	Lara has no choice but to stop Willard from carrying on his evil plan. She ventures through the complex setting of the RX-Tech Mines, battling [[Mutant Scientists]] on the way. Lara travels some parts of the mines by riding a [[Mine Cart\|mine cart]].
		+
		+	There’s an excavation site deep within the mines, and from there Lara continues her way to the [[Lost City of Tinnos]].
		+
		+	==Lost City of Tinnos==
		+	The Lost City of Tinnos is a site that proves the existence of the Polynesian tribe at the Antarctica many years ago. The level is set to the remnants of the ancient civilization, consisting of rather well-preserved ruins.
		+
		+	Lara must find two [[Uli Key\|Uli Keys]] and four [[Oceanic Mask\|Oceanic Masks]] to complete the level. The task isn’t simple, since one can easily lose track of his or her movements in the vast ruined city, making it hard to locate the place one should go. Not to mention the [[Tinnos Monsters]] and [[Dragonflies]] lurking around…
		+
		+	After Lara has found all necessary items, and placed the masks to their receptacles, an opening is revealed. This is the level exit, hidden beneath a pillar of light, leading to the [[Meteorite Cavern]].
		+
		+	Hopping to the opening launches a cutscene.
		+	----
		+	====Mutating Dr. Willard====
		+	We see a flyby of the room with the meteorite crater. Lara is running along a hallway, rushing to stop Willard. Mark Willard is placing the Ora Dagger to its receptacle on the wall. As all of the artefacts are on their places, a weird noise starts and the chamber shakes. Voices start to echo, a men’s voices say: '''”Something spooky is in that chamber”'''<br>
		+	'''”Magic and all, huh?”'''<br>
		+	Also a woman’s voice is heard, but it’s hard to tell what she says. As the Australian soldier’s voice is heard saying '''”Some sort of sacrifice to their god who lives up in the hill”''', it’s easy to realize that the echoes are quotes from what has been said along Lara’s adventure.<br>
		+	Willard’s manic laughter accompanies the quotes: '''”Just keep going, were on its trail!”''', '''”This is too much!”''', '''”Locked up in a flotation tank for days…”''' and '''”Not interrupting, am I?”''' the last being said in Lara’s voice.<br>
		+	Bright light emits from the meteorite, than has risen from the crater. Willard throws himself calmly to the crater. Lara gasps and covers her mouth in shock, running near the edge of the crater.<br>
		+	'''”Fascinating, isn’t it?”''' echoes in the room.<br>
		+	Lara is about to leave as she sees no trace of Willard.<br>
		+	'''”It’s an entirely natural acceleration of the evolution”''', echoes in a twisted voice. <br>
		+	Gigantic, spider-like mutant with Willard’s head has appeared in the room. It growls menacingly, ready to attack.<br>
		+
		+	==Meteorite Cavern==
		+	Lara must defeat this horrid creature, the [[Willard Mutant]], to set things right. It can’t be defeated simply by just shooting at it, since it has harnessed the powers of the Meteorite Artefacts. Just one successful hit of those energy bolts, and Lara’s doomed.
		+	The mutant must be stunned by staying within the white circle and shooting at it with some weapon that’s more powerful than the usual pistols. When the creature is stunned, Lara must quickly sprint to each four artifact and remove them from their receptacles.
		+	This causes the meteorite to descend back to its carter, making Willard more vulnerable to bullets. Defeating him causes the mutant to explode.
		+	Now Lara can exit the Meteorite Cavern only to find a few hostile [[Flamethrower Guys]] waiting for her. As she proceeds further, she reaches an area where a helicopter lands. When she approaches it, a gate opens, ending the level.
		+	----
		+	====End FMV====
		+	It’s nighttime in the Antarctica base and Lara climbs inside a helicopter. She’s greeted by a smiling pilot. Lara smiles back and then shoots him. She takes the helicopter and rises high with it. A gun turret is aiming at her helicopter, but before it launches any missiles, Lara takes care of it with her aircraft’s weapons.
		+
		+	Another turret aims at the helicopter, launching a missile towards it. Lara narrowly avoids the hit, leading the missile to explode to a snowy hill.
		+
		+	A helicopter appears behind Lara’s, shooting at the tail. Lara tricks it to a dead end, hiding in the air above it. She surprises her chasers, shooting them, causing the foe’s helicopter to explode.
		+
		+	Lara takes off with her helicopter, leaving Antarctica for good.

		+	===Overviews===
		+	After collecting all four of the [[Meteorite Artefacts]] Lara travels to [[Antarctica (location)\|Antarctica]] . Antarctica is the southernmost continent on Earth, and it’s the place where the entire story began. It’s also the place where the story comes to its end upon uniting the four artefacts…
		+
		+	====Antarctica Overview====
		+	Upon arriving to the cold Antarctica, Lara discovers the dangers of the nature as the helicopter she arrived on plummets to the depths of the ice cold water. Lara is able to escape the cold death, her pilot being not so lucky. She must now find her way to [[Mark Willard]] at the RX Technologies base.
		+	To get there, she mounts the [[RX Explorer]], and lowers a yellow [[Inflatable Boat]] to aid her maneuver on the icy water. There are many dangers ahead in addition to the cold water: apparently the crewmen of the [[RX Explorer]] and their [[dogs]] don’t like visitors…
		+
		+	Lara also discovers something very unsettling inside one partially demolished house at the RX Tech base: a nearly dying [[Crawling Mutant Scientists]]!
		+
		+	====RX-Tech Mines Overview====
		+	As the true intentions of [[Mark Willard\|Dr. Willard]] are revealed to Lara, she is forced to chase Willard through the mines of the research company. Riding with [[Mine Cart\|mine carts]] Lara travels through the maze-like mines, confronting horrible [[Crawling Mutant Scientists\|crawling mutants]] and [[Standing Mutant Scientists\|big mutants]].
		+
		+	====Lost City of Tinnos Overview====
		+	Buried deep to the ice and snow of the Antarctica lays the Lost City of Tinnos, the remnants of the ancient civilization that lived there. Deep within the structures of the city there are many dangers ahead: traps, huge [[Tinnos Monsters]] and [[Dragonflies]] that are almost the size of a man.
		+
		+	Lara must collect four [[Oceanic Mask\|Oceanic Masks]] that are hidden in the level. They must be placed onto their receptacles and together with the second [[Uli Key]] they’ll turn off a mysterious pillar of light, revealing an opening below.
		+
		+	====Meteorite Cavern Overview====
		+	The final level of both the game and the [[Antarctica Section]] is set into the Meteorite Cavern, the room where the Meteorite Artefacts must be placed to unleash their powers. Mark Willard is way ahead on this task and he turns himself to the enormous, horrible [[Willard Mutant]].
		+
		+	The main objective of the level is to defeat the main boss and then exit the RX Tech compound once and for all, leaving all the horrors behind.

Lara must find her way to the [[Puna Boss]] and his chamber, fight against him and some [[Green Lizards]] he summons to help him and finally take the [[Ora Dagger]].
		+
		+	==Coastal Village==
		+	Lara begins her adventure underwater near the coast of the South Pacific island. After catching some air she can dive again to find the [[Smuggler’s Key]] located at the bottom of the lagoon. Not much time gets to pass after entering the Smuggler’s hut with the key, as the first enemies attack. [[Crocodiles]] and a [[Tribesman with poison-dart gun]] are ready to face Lara, and the hostile atmosphere of the island is revealed.
		+	Lara can choose many routes to travel in order to reach the treehouse near the swamp. She must collect three [[Serpent Stones]] to open a gate that leads to the village of the [[tribesman\|tribesmen]]. From there Lara can continue to search for a route to the treehouse. Entering it will launch a cutscene that ends the level.
		+	----
		+	====In the treehouse====
		+	Lara goes inside the treehouse where she finds a severely injured man shaking off flies that buzz around him. The man is missing his right leg from below the knee, there are only bloody bandages covering the part where the leg has been cut off.<br>
		+	'''”Not interrupting am I?”''' Lara asks at the doorway of the treehouse.<br>
		+	'''”Not bleeding, are ya? Or about to use this place as a dunny?”''' the man asks, and judging by his accent he’s Australian.<br>
		+	'''”No and… no”''', Lara replies.<br>
		+	'''”Good… Good… Just don’t want any fly-carrying visitors in here”''', the man says pointing his injured leg.<br>
		+	'''”Right, I understand. What happened?”''' Lara asks.<br>
		+	The man tells the events that led to his unfortunate state: '''“Woke up in the jungle with one of those little blokes snacking on my leg, didn’t I?”'''<br>
		+	'''”A tribesman?”''' Lara asks, sounding a bit surprised. She continues: '''“It isn’t usual for them to eat right off the bone like that.”'''<br>
		+	'''”Well, it was dark and I never got the bugger so I can’t be sure”''', the man comments on Lara’s doubts.<br>
		+	He continues to tell more about what has happened: '''”Something spooky is in that jungle. Our air-carrier crashed down on the mountains. Every night some of my men would vanish without a trace. Others fled in fear… Then this happened. I brought the men to shore for safety, only for us all to be capture by this greedy mob. Some sort of a sacrifice for their god who lives up on the hills. But it seems I’ve not been invited to the barby.''' <br>
		+	As he finished his sentence, he smashes a fly. Some drumming and grunting can be heard, probably the tribesmen are having a sacrificial feast.<br>
		+	Lara’s looking out from the treehouse, and makes a guess: '''”Maybe you’re the dessert? Right flesh can be a bit of a delicacy around here.”'''<br>
		+	'''”For real?”''' the man asks.<br>
		+	The drumming gets louder and the rhythm quicker. The tribesmen must be getting closer to the treehouse!<br>
		+	Lara turns to the man, obviously not going to let the two of them to end up as meals for the tribesmen.<br>
		+	'''”Listen, we’d better get you out of here! Do you know how the tribe crossed the swamp down there? Which stones they tried on?”''' she asks, making her plan rather clear to all.<br>
		+	'''“Yeah, but uh… I’m staying put. With this wound I’d be like a fill-out station to every disease, bagging the bush. I’d rather be the main course of the real feast… Aye, if you see any of my men alive out there, trek ‘em to the north shore will ‘ya – away from here…”''' the man says, giving the [[Swamp Map]] to Lara and laying down onto his bed.<br>
		+	'''”Of course”''', Lara promises.<br>
		+
		+	==Crash Site==
		+	First thing to do on the way to the Crash Site, is to cross the large swamp. With the help of the [[Swamp Map]] given to Lara by the Australian soldier, this will be no problem. As she reaches the Crash Site, Lara indeed meets some of the soldier’s men. They’ll help Lara to deal with the [[dinosaurs]] as long as Lara won’t shoot at them.
		+
		+	The main objective is to find two keys, the Commander Bishop's Key and the Lt. Tuckerman's Key, which must be used to activate the crashed plane’s gun turret. As the names of the keys indicate, they belonged to two of the soldiers. Activating the gun turret makes it possible to proceed to the Madubu Gorge by blasting off some wall to create a level exit.
		+
		+	As Lara jumps to the newly made alcove, a cutscene launches, ending the level.

		+	Lara enters some temple. Sound of the boots echoes in the interior of the temple as she walks to the back wall. On the wall there’s a round stone carving that depicts the events that have happened on the island. In the center of the carving there’s the meteorite, which is surrounded by images depicting the [[Ora Dagger]], boats, tribesmen and their ruler.<br>
		+	Lara examines this carving more closely, but she is interrupted by a sudden appearance of a lone, loud tribesman.<br>
		+	'''”Hum-hada-hum-hada-hrrrrah-ho!”''' the tribesman yells, making Lara quickly turn facing him. He continues to talk:<br>
		+	'''”It’s well for you… Me fast in this thing. You make plenty good fleshpot.”'''<br>
		+	'''”You forget, I might be quite hungry myself… Famished actually”''', Lara says, scaring the tribesman.<br>
		+	'''”Eugh!”''' he yells in fear, hopping a bit away from Lara.<br>
		+	'''”Why did your ancestors flee Antarctica so suddenly?”''' Lara asks, referring to the stone carving on the fall.<br>
		+	The tribesman tells the story depicted in the stone carving:<br>
		+	'''”Ah… Kuma, kuma… Baad place. Plenty flesh. But for a price of evil! Mutilation! The six leader, Ma’uki, were born out of this. Terrible summons. Men afraid! Run! Set curse on Ma’uki on the land. No one good enough!”'''<br>
		+	'''”But you still worship it?”''' Lara asks.<br>
		+	'''”White fella later come here. With magic kuma-kuma stone… In a day, we celebrate the death of he – the feast of smile!”''' the tribesman answers, revealing the faith of one of the sailors of the [[HMS Beagle]].<br>
		+	'''One of [[Charles Darwin\|Darwin’s]] sailors… Poor fool…”''' Lara says, realizing who this “white fella” actually was.<br>
		+	The tribesman starts to hum on the ground some tribal chant.<br>
		+	'''”Where’s the stone now?”''' Lara asks, but doesn’t get an answer. She’s about to leave, but the tribesman has something to say:<br>
		+	'''”Mmm… He lucky fella that kill you. A plenty men like you.”'''<br>
		+	'''”I’ll be sure to point that out to him”''', Lara says and leaves the tribesman to chant by himself.<br>
		+
		+	==Madubu Gorge==
		+	The events of the level center on Lara trying to find her way along the huge rapids. The solution is the [[kayak]] that is hidden in a special room. But before using it, it must first be found.
		+
		+	Majority of the level involves paddling with the kayak down the rapids, then backtracking by foot along slippery rocks, finding some mechanisms that help Lara to proceed all the way to the level exit.
		+
		+	To make things more difficult, the rapids are accompanied with traps and enemies: [[crocodiles]] and [[Green Lizards]].
		+
		+	==Temple of Puna==
		+	At last Lara has entered the Temple of Puna, and the final showdown is yet ahead. This trap-filled temple is apparently the residence of the [[Puna Boss]], the leader of the tribesmen who has the [[Ora Dagger]].
		+
		+	To retrieve the artifact, Lara must first defeat some [[tribesman\|tribesmen]] and get through many traps to reach the throne room, where the Puna Boss is waiting.
		+
		+	As the Puna Boss has found a way to use the Ora Dagger’s powers, he is able to create a protective forcefield to shield himself from bullets. He is also able to summon [[Green Lizards]] to aid him in battle against Lara.
		+
		+	However, Lara gets what she has been looking for after eventually defeating the Puna Boss. She picks up the Ora Dagger, and knows exactly where to go next.

-==Introduction==
+The following article will explain in high detail the '''story-line''' of the 1998 [[Tomb Raider III]]. This page, though, does not include high-detail walkthrough information of each level, that can be found in the tombraidergirl pages, but instead the cutscenes and FMV's seen throughout the game. Also, this article will suggest ideas on tackling certain obstacles or enemies, so it can generally be placed between a walkthrough and a game synopsis story. Some descriptions in this article will act as a low-detail walkthrough as the best way to express the information, but proper walkthrough text is a lot more helpful and better in this circumstance. For further information on this and other aspects of the management and content of the article, please see the Discussion page.

+==Features==
+A lot has happened since [[Tomb Raider II]]. Lara Croft is becoming more and more realistic, in the sense that she now can perform new moves that people would expect from her, such as sprinting, or crouching. Along with more intricate levels, Lara is also more detailed, and now has access to more vehicles than ever before, such as a Kayak, Quad Bike and Underwater Propulsion Unit. Other new aspects are as follows:
 *Newer sounds in the game also improve the overall reality. The guns shots actually sound like proper realistic guns shots now, and Lara makes different footstep noises for the different surfaces she walks or runs on. Enemies, such as Tigers, benefit from these new intricate sounds.
@@ Line 14: / Line 12: @@
 *For the first time in the series, the usual linear gameplay of Tomb Raider is now nonlinear; After the four India Levels, Lara can choose which of the next three locations she wants to go to, and for every location, Lara has a new, and interesting outfit. Also, some of the levels, for the first time in the series, have more than one way to successfully complete them.
-However, on a more critic tense, Tomb Raider III introduces Code Disks, laser-activated turret guns,  carefully bypassing dangerous energy beams, and navigating through a derelict subway. The problem is that Tomb Raider has now practically lost all of its original Tombs which made the [[Tomb Raider |first installment]] so famous and successful. As Lara, at a certain level, is traversing over the city of London to find a particular artifact, it might as well be called City Raider.

 These modern locations were removed in the next game in the series; [[The Last Revelation]], which was designed as a resurrection of the original Tomb Raider.
