Tomb Raider IV The Last Revelation Story
The Story of Tomb Raider IV The Last Revelation is set completely in Egypt and around the events surrounding Lara Croft's attempt to conceal Seth back to his tomb after accidentally releasing him, with only the exception of the training section in Cambodia where at the age of 16, Lara accompanies Werner von Croy in the search for the Iris.
Cambodia
In 1984, Young Lara enters a tomb in Angkor Wat with von Croy. Von Croy's goal is to retrieve the Iris artefact. When they arrive the room where it's concealed inside a globe-like mechanism, which needs two people to open it. Lara hesitates to pull the other one of the levers, because she has read warnings from the inscriptions. The following dialogue takes place:
- Von Croy: Ahh, ancient hocus pocus... Forget this nonsense and come over here!
- Lara: I don't count poison darts and triggered entombment your average child's tea party. I feel we should lend this some respect...
- Von Croy: Haa... And you are the world-famous archaeologist-adventurer, Lara Croft, ja? No! No! I am the reknown archaeologist-adventurer, Werner von Croy! And you will do as I say! Go to the wall, and pull the lever!
- Lara: What was it you said? Disrespect is the route to carelessness?
- Von Croy: I am weary of this... Pull the lever now, Miss Croft!
- Lara: On your head be it, von Croy... [Lara starts to pull the lever.]
As they pull the levers, the globe opens, revealing the Iris on its pedestal. Werner approaches it, and as soons as he's about to grab it, the tomb starts to crumble. Lara runs towards the exit, but stops when Werner screams for help. His leg is trapped in the globe mechanism, and it's starting to close. Lara's going to go and help Werner, but the globe closes before she even gets to him. She has to save herself from the tomb, and she rushes out, avoiding closely getting crushed by falling rocks in the ceiling of the exit.
King's Valley
In 1999, Lara's travelling in Egypt. Riding a camel with her guide in the desert, they stop and dismount near a pile of rocks. She's about to pick up a glittering, tiny artifact, but the guide waves her to come over. Lara continues to pick up the artifact, but as she's about to grab it, a black scorpion crawls under a rock. Startled by the sight of it, Lara falls back, and a swarm of scorpions emerges out. She runs to her guide to see what he has found. It's a some sort of a monument, a bit shaped like a person laying on his back, with a pressure pad on its chest. Lara presses it and looks around: nothing seemed to happen. Suddenly, the ground starts to shake, small rocks are flying and both Lara and her guide fall into a chute. They end up into the Tomb of Seth.
