STORY

Whilst in London, investigating the legend of Jack The Ripper, Lara Croft has inadvertently resurrected the malevolent deity that lies behind the infamous serial killer. The Lizard King is an ancient demon that, when manifest on Earth, is capable of the most heinous crimes - it is also impossible to destroy.

Faced with certain death, Lara is forced to invoke the Spell Of Anubis, and transport herself to the shadow world that lies between the realm of the living and the realm of the dead. This is the true home of the Lizard King, but it is also the only place where he is vulnerable…..

=============================================================

GAMEPLAY OBJECTIVES

With the help of Anubis, spirit guide to the dead, Lara must defeat the Lizard King before she can return to the earthly plain.

1/	Collect the 5 Lizard  Trueforms
2/	Take Thor’s Hammer from the impostor Hammer God.
3/	Confront the Lizard King.

See hints readme for more info.

BUGS (minor issues) 

1/Important: Don’t shoot Anubis at any time throughout the game as it can mess up his AI.
2/An ‘enemy’ in Demon Nursery used to measure time left in a timed manoeuvre is actually an animation that resets itself when you save/load. So play this section without saving to get the full effect. The timed run itself is NOT affected by this, so saving will only confuse you but not affect the game.
3/The vehicle used in Babylon does not have reverse so don't leave it in a stuck position facing a wall.
