Story & Help:

Intro:

Lara: "I'll tell you the a story... Everything began in 1986. I was spending my vacation in Norway's mountains. One day – I remember it was a rainy day and my mood was also cloudy – I got lost. It was somewhere in the middle of the caves and I thought I would never find my way back. While I was wandering I found a book, very valuable book as I realized later. The book was very thick, leather bound and I estimated the age of it at a half of the millennium. The curiosity was it wasn't written up but absolutely blank. Despite of the hoary age it was in pretty good condition and it was touching me with very mystical impression. Fortunately it didn't take a long time and I saw the rain again – the way back home..."

After CAVES level:

Lara vypráví: "At that time I entrusted my father with my discovery. As he saw the book his eyes sparkled, but he didn't show anything and indicated that he doesn't know the purpose of the book. As late as 10 years later he told me following legend. 800 years ago there exists a fellowship that owned the secret of eternal life and immortality. This power was provided by magic artifact – Circle of Life - neither origin nor creator was known. Because they were smart they hide this artifact at an unknown place to protect it against a possible abuse. For the case of need they wrote up the book explaining the way to find Circle of Life. However the book was written with the invisible ink and can be read only under light of magic flame which must me fired up on the special pedestal made by them... As my father told – the pedestal was discovered by archeologists in 1926 somewhere in Europe and much later it was bought by Prague Jewish antiquarian Joseph Lowy. Its power – to read invisible text – is treated as a fairy-tale which is trusted by hardly anybody. And now the book lies in my hands. I’ll try to find the pedestal and if it is possible I’ll make out the text of the book. And if it really exists than I can destroy Circle of Life... "

After MAISONNETTE level:

Lara tells: "I'm sorry I had to break in the apartement, but I didn't want to encourage attention. I know someone is following me up and I don't want to risk. I set the pedestal on fire and put the book in the alcove. The wind raised in the room and turned over all the pages of the book. I was thrilled - the legend was real...  Thanks to the light of the flame text appeared in the book. Unfortunately it was written in a language I didn't understand, perhaps it reminded Latin. Still in Mr. Lewy's apartement I tried to contact an old friend of my father – former professor of language sciences – Walter D. King. I agreed I could visit him and invited me to places where he was spending his retirement – the islands of Tanah Papua. I hoped he'd be able to make out the text. Unfortunately my fears came true: After I hung up a couple of masked men broke in and attacked me. Then there was only dark... I remember nothing until I woke up in a basement of a castle. Without any book. I must get from here somehow and find the book... "

After CATACOMBS level:

Lara tells: "I can finally visit the father's friend – W. D. King, I'm sure he will help me to make out the text of the book. "

Help for PLAINS level:

Quadbike control:

Get in quadbike: At first, you must have a quadbike key. Go near a quadbike and press CTRL key. Sometimes you can get in only from one side.
Forward pedal: CTRL
Brake: ALT
Driving forward (gear 1): SHIFT
Driving backward - Reverse: Key for running
Get off: ALT + right or left narrow

Help notice - You can´t get off quadbike somewhere and continue without it; may be you can´t to finish this level !!!

After PLAINS level:

Lara tells: "Walter D. King managed to make out the text. The Circle of Life was hammered from an unknown alloy before the Roman Empire. The one who owns the Circle of Life is immortal and can bring to life dead demons who he is in charge of. We found out that the Circle of Life might be found in Egypt or at the South Pole. I'll go to Egypt first then. “

After SOUTHPOLE level:

Lara tells: "So I succeeded. I discovered the Circle of Life. I think it couldn't do any good job and then I can finally destroy it."
