With only six days to go until the launch of Rise Of The Tomb Raider, the final episode of Crystal Dynamics video series Woman Vs. Wild has been uploaded to official Tomb Raider YouTube channel. For the encore performance, they have revealed an element of the gameplay that is argueably the bread and butter of the entire franchise. The trap laiden, artefact filled tombs that populate the caves and crevices of the world.
In the 2013 reboot, various tombs were scattered around the island of Yamatai and for the most part, they were entirely optional and offered marginal rewards at best. For the sequel, Lara will need translation of different languages to decipher important clues, as well as using the forces of nature to solve some of the trickier puzzles, such as a strong gust of wind coming from a nearby crack in the wall. Completing some of the harder challenges will grant Lara a vaulable treasure, as well as an ancient ability that can only be accessed through that particular tomb.
