Tomb Raider: Underworld, also known as Tomb Raider 8, is the eighth game in the Tomb Raider series, released on 18 November 2008 in North America and on 21 November 2008 in Europe. It is the third game in the series to be developed by Crystal Dynamics.
It resumes the adventure from where Tomb Raider: Legend left off and addresses elements of the plot left unexplained in Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which are Crystal Dynamics’ previous games in the series.
The story begins as a prologue, in the lower corridor of Croft Manor where Lara has to escape from a fire. Upon entering the main hall, she is surprised to see the mansion in flames. As she reaches the main door, Zip shoots at her as Winston tries to restrain him. The game goes back a week in the past, showing Lara in the Mediterranean Sea. Lara is searching for a way to Avalon, the mystical resting place of King Arthur, and the place where Amanda claimed Lara’s mother is at the end of Tomb Raider: Legend. Lara finds a temple of “Proto-Norse” origin, leading her to believe that Avalon and the Norse underworld of Niflheim are one and the same. She also finds a gauntlet, supposedly belonging to the Norse god Thor. Lara is caught off guard by mercenaries working for Amanda, who takes the gauntlet and leaves her. After pursuing them to their ship, she meets Natla, who Amanda has in captivity. They began discussing Lara’s find and Natla states that Avalon is the same as Helheim, rather than Niflheim as Lara had supposed, and that Lara will need Thor’s hammer, Mjölner to enter. The ship begins sinking due to an explosion caused by one of the mercenaries in a firefight with Lara. Lara shoots at a fleeing Amanda who throws the gauntlet into the sea in order to distract Lara (and possibly due to Natla’s assertion that only Lara can use the gauntlet). Lara quickly jumps in to get it, letting Amanda escape.
Lara travels to coastal Thailand, as Natla had suggested, where she discovers that her father had already been there and took the gauntlet back to a hidden study beneath Croft Manor. After locating the gauntlet, as well as a map locating Thor’s belt and hammer, Lara is surprised to find the manor going up in flames, the scene from the beginning of the game. An injured Zip, assisted by Winston, shoots at her as he thought Lara had shot him after taking Amanda’s “Wraith Stone” from the vault. Lara and Winston convince Zip it was not her and Lara tells them to get out of the mansion while she goes to view the security video in the computer room. Before she does however, she notices an odd reflection of herself in the room’s glass wall. As she gets closer, she sees it is actually a doppelgänger, apparently created by Natla. The doppelganger then shoots Alister, who was trying to escape the flames. Lara tries to shoot the doppelgänger, but she is able to predict and evade Lara’s every move. As the doppelgänger flees, Lara runs to Alister, but finds him at his last breath. She carries his body out of the house to Zip and Winston. Lara resolves to continue searching for Mjölner, believing the search will lead to Amanda and Natla, who she holds responsible for Alister’s murder. Lara also believes Mjölner will give her the power needed to kill Natla. In Mexico, Lara retrieves Thor’s belt, which powers the gauntlets needed to wield his hammer. After retrieving the belt, she heads to Jan Mayen Island and finds Mjölner in Valhalla. She also finds a message from Odin, Thor’s father, saying that he will need to perform a ritual before Thor can open the way to Helheim.
