"Tomb Raider": A Brief Test Trivia Quiz

Answer: Dual Pistols

Lara Croft's trademark Dual Pistols appear in almost all games, but not "Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness". In that game, she carries many single pistols but neither dual pistols, nor single pistols with unlimited ammunition.

Answer: River Ganges

The River Ganges is featured as a level in "Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft". The level involves using a quad bike to transverse the terrain and chase after Tony, a researcher who Lara previously encountered in his camp seemingly suffering from insomnia, but has now stolen an artifact beneficial to the storyline; the Infada stone.

Answer: Set

Near the beginning of the game, Lara unknowingly releases the Egyptian God Set, who possesses Werner Von Croy, Lara's old friend and mentor, who appears frequently throughout the game attempting to stop Lara. In the Temple of Horus, she attempts to defeat Set using the Egyptian God Horus' armour but before she has a chance to summon Horus, Set destroys the armour, forcing Lara to again retrieve Amulet of Horus and seal Set away for eternity in the Temple of Horus.

Answer: Kraken

Whilst Lara is making her way through the Norse underworld of 'Niflheim' she encounters a Kraken, a mythical sea monster depicted as a gigantic squid, who's tentacles stretch through various small rooms alongside the big room it resides in, slightly hindering Lara's progress.

The Kraken does not have to be fought, so is not considered a boss fight. It meets it's end when Lara drops a spike-covered rock onto it's head.

Answer: St. Francis Folly

St. Francis Folly is the monastery that you have to navigate through that eventually leads you to a colosseum, Palace Midas and the Tomb of Tihocan. At the beginning of the level in the original "Tomb Raider" you have a small altercation with Pierre DuPont, however, he cannot be killed and can easily lower your health using his Magnum pistols.

This small fight scene does not appear in "Tomb Raider: Anniversary".

Answer: Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation

"Race for the Iris" is a level that appears in "Tomb Raider IV: The Last Revelation." The level is the second of the two "training" levels, the other being Angkor Wat. In this level, the player has to guide Lara through an area with many jumps, traps and pit falls as quickly as they can to try and beat Von Croy to the Iris artifact.

There are two different versions of this level, which one the player gets to play is chosen by how many Golden Skulls were retrieved in the previous level, as it determines which gate Von Croy opens: Virtue or Heresy.

Answer: Thrall

Lady Amelia Croft appears as a thrall in "Tomb Raider: Underworld" where Lara encounters her in Helheim, after Amelia has been transformed by the "eitr" liquid. Lara grudgingly shoots her thrall mother who stumbles over an edge into a blue void.

Answer: Tomb Raider

Thor is also featured in "Tomb Raider", and "Tomb Raider" only. He is mentioned in the "St. Francis Folly" level, where one of the challenge rooms you have to venture through is named after Thor, and consists of avoiding being struck by lightning, linking to Thor's command over thunder and lightning.

In "Tomb Raider: Anniversary", Thor's name is replaced with Hephaestus, whose powers are similar to Thor's.

Answer: Admiral Yarofev & Sergei Mikhailov

The leader of the Russian Army is Admiral Yarofev and the leader of the Russian Mafia is Sergei Mikhailov. Both meet their deaths during the final section of the "Russia" levels. Sergei is killed by the Spear of Destiny artifact as he cannot control it's power, killing him and severely damaging the submarine. Yarofev is injured after the submarine is damaged and he eventually activates the escape pod to help Lara escape, but chooses to stay behind as the submarine crashes into the seabed.

Answer: Tihocan

The Tomb of Tihocan is found in Greece, and is the final part of the Greece section in both "Tomb Raider" and "Tomb Raider: Anniversary". It is guarded by two centaurs which have to be defeated to gain entry. Tihocan is a part of the Atlantis Triumvirate and one of the two God-Kings who sealed Natla in her supposedly eternal prison.
