The Scion in its combined form
The Scion is the main artefact Lara searches for in Tomb Raider. The artefact was created by the three leaders of Atlantis. They were Qualopec, Tihocan and Natla. After the disasters that resulted from Natla abusing the powers of the Scion, it was split into three equal pieces. Two pieces were entrusted to Qualopec and Tihocan, whom never wanted to use it again. The third was cast away into Egypt and resided in a Sanctuary built underneath a statue of a sphinx, near the City of Khamoon.

Lara found the first two pieces in the Tomb of Qualopec in Peru, and the Tomb of Tihocan underneath a monastery in the Mediterranean. She also recovered the third piece from the Sanctuary of the Scion in Egypt. The Scion was destroyed by gunfire from Lara in Atlantis, but pieces of it remain in Lara's treasure vault.

Powers

The powers of the Scion can mutate creatures into much more agile and ferocious beasts. It can increase muscle mass and capability. The Scion also powered the Great Pyramid that lay at the centre of Atlantis. The powers of the Scion allowed Natla to create a small army of mutated beasts from cocoons that lay within vast hatcheries in the Great Pyramid.
