TOMB RAIDER - THE QUEST FOR THE SERAPH PART V
THE SECRET PALACE
by Leandro Dubost (www.raidingzone.cjb.net)

What happened with The Seraph after Tomb Raider 2? Is it still in the Barkhang Monastry, or not? Lara want to know it too, and she got a valious information: an brazilian marine research base, at the coast of Rio de Janeiro, has been taken by the Fiama Nera, the same organization that tried to stole the Seraph from the Maria Doria (just tried, because Lara has did this first!). Is this coincidence, or not? Lara Croft is ready to know it!
After fiding the Seraph in the marine research base, at Rio de Janeiro, Lara goes to the five star hotel Copacabana Palace, in the city, to rest. But, when she is taking a shower, one of the Fiama Nera guards enter in her room an get the Seraph. And, to make the things harder, the secret organization take all the hotel. Now, Lara must rescue the Seraph and save the hotel... before going back to Tibet!!!
Now that Lara's back to Tibet, she must find her way back to the Barkhang Monastry. In there, Lara want to find more about the Seraph. Is it really only a key to the Catacombs of Talion... or is something else?
Inside the Barkhang Monastry, Lara finds another door that leads to a hidden city. Is that what is the Fiama Nera were looking for? And, what secrets are inside the city?
While exploring the city, Lara finds a entrance to a secret palace... and another tomb raider! "So," Lara thinks, "there must be something inside the palace... because Fiama Nera is looking for it!".
So, here's it! The last chapter of The Quest for the Seraph series! Probably everyone who played all the other levels of this series have noticied that it is nothing more than a homage to Tomb Raider 2, my favorite game of the series. So, I would like to finish it like Tomb Raider 2: with a final boss level! And that's what The Secret Palace is: a short level, with simple puzzles and traps, a lot of enemies and a final boss that you can't hurt... but you can kill! And don't forget to read "the end.doc" AFTER finishing the level!!!

!¡!¡!¡!¡!BUGS!¡!¡!¡!¡!
1) The final boss (the gold monster) have a lot of bugs, but only one of then is a bad bug. When you're in the center of the "arena", he'll appears... when this happens, don't put Laras guns into her hands, or the monster will do something reeeeaaally weird. Anyway, if you forget this, and the monster get "buged", just load your last savegame.
