After taking refuge in an ancient Buddhist monastery, young Lara discovers a stone dais with an ancient sword set in it. By touching the sword she activates a supernatural portal. Distorted voices speak to her mother Amelia through the portal, and Amelia removes the sword from the dais. The portal and dais are destroyed in an explosion and Amelia disappears in a bright light, leaving Lara to survive on her own. Years later, an adult Lara searches for a similar stone dais located in the ruins of Tiwanaku, Bolivia. She encounters a group of mercenaries who are under orders to kill her on sight. Fighting through them, she proceeds to a temple where she finds the dais and encounters the leader of the mercenaries, James Rutland, an American socialite and self-proclaimed adventurer. Rutland, holding an unusual sword fragment, mentions Amanda Evert, a friend of Lara's who was supposedly killed years before in an expedition only Lara survived. After overcoming his soldiers, she confirms that the dais is the same design as that of the one in Nepal. Lara returns to a tomb in Peru to confirm or disprove Amanda's death in a tragedy that befell them years ago. She recalls excavating the tomb together when an unknown demonic entity killed the rest of their team. Amanda managed to entrap the wraith in a glowing stone she ripped from a wall, but she became trapped under falling rubble during the escape and was presumed dead. In the present day, Lara discovers the artifact she is seeking may be linked to Excalibur – part of the King Arthur legends – and that Amanda survived the cave-in and is searching for the sword, which had reportedly been broken into four fragments that are now spread across the globe. Lara recalls that one piece was stolen by Yakuza Kumicho Shogo Takamoto. In Tokyo, she attempts to convince him to give it to her, but he refuses to surrender it and orders his men to kill her. Lara dispatches them, kills Takamoto, and claims his fragment. She heads to Ghana, where Rutland is searching for an artifact called the Ghalali Key, which can re-assemble Excalibur. Lara defeats Rutland, takes his fragment, and spares his life. He reveals that Amanda has raided Croft Manor looking for the Ghalali Key, and Lara learns she is headed to an abandoned military base in Kazakhstan to search for another fragment. Lara assists the Kazakhs in fighting against Rutland's men and re-encounters Amanda, who is still bitter about being left to die. Amanda uses the Unknown Entity from Paraíso against Lara, but Lara defeats it and recovers the fragment and an eleventh-century knight's shield supposedly belonging to Sir Lancelot which will supposedly lead her to the next fragment. Following a map on the back of the shield, Lara's search brings her home to Cornwall, England. She discovers the real King Arthur's tomb hidden under a now-derelict tourist attraction, along with the final sword fragment. After escaping a sea serpent guarding the tomb, Lara returns to her home to figure out how to reforge Excalibur, and realizes that the Ghalali Key is in fact a pendant belonging to her mother, who had it with her in the plane crash. Lara returns to the crash site in Nepal and finds the Key. She then proceeds to the temple where she last saw her mother and uses the Ghalali Key to restore Excalibur. She attempts to reactivate the broken dais there, but fails and has to escape the collapsing temple. Returning to the stone dais in Bolivia, Lara finds Amanda, Rutland and their mercenaries awaiting her. Using Excalibur, Lara eliminates all the mercenaries and kills Rutland. An outraged Amanda merges herself with the Unknown Entity and attacks Lara. With the power of Excalibur, Lara defeats the hybrid creature, destroys the entity, and separates it from Amanda. Lara uses Excalibur on the dais and is confronted with a vision of her mother in Nepal. She realizes that the portal spans time and there is a chance she can save her mother, but Amanda tells Lara to remove the sword and that it will explode; Amelia from the past hears this, panics, and removes the sword, resulting in her apparent death. An enraged Lara realizes that Amanda was responsible for the apparent causality loop that claimed her mother, and threatens to execute her if she doesn't explain her involvement. Amanda states that Lara's mother is alive and in Avalon, the mythical resting place of King Arthur, where Amanda herself wanted to go. Lara pistol-whips her, but spares her life. She leaves Bolivia to embark on a quest to discover what happened to her mother, leading into the events of ''Tomb Raider: Underworld''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tomb Raider: Legend」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
