Russia
The Base
Cut scene:
Back to Lara's mansion, where Lara's friends reminisce about
the U-boat adventure. A German submarine was carrying the Spear of Destiny
back to the Hitler's Fatherland. The Spear of Destiny was rumoured to have
awesome powers - such that any Army carrying the Spear could not be defeated.
But as the men on the submarine begin to experiment on the Spear with a radio,
a powerful force is awoken. The men in the submarine fire at a white light;
the submarine explodes and sinks losing all hands on board.

snowmobile. On a hilltop overlooking the base, Lara looks down on the base
with her binoculars. They speak of a Russian Mafioso that has corrupted one
of the submarine's commanders.
Warehouse:
Drop down a chute and enter the warehouse. Note the lock on the door. As
soon as you enter the main warehouse, an alarm sounds and a man in a control

the claw operator has more evil intentions and he will try to drop the claw
on Lara. You can hide from the claw under recesses along the wall.
Don't start climbing on the crates just yet, for now, look for a slim metal
shelf near a wooden crate and search the shelf for the Silver Key. In one

Walk around the balcony and plan your route.
The Claw casts a shadow when it is about to drop, and you have a tiny bit
of time to make a move out of the way before it drops. So quickly move to
another crate when you see the claw's shadow.

that I am still an admiral of Russian navy and as such demand respect."
The Mafia guy, Michelov, answers, "While you accept my bribes for use
of this submarine, you are under my employ and will follow my instructions
without complaint." The admiral: "If I deal with the likes of you
to keep my men in bread, it does not make me one of you." Michelov: "Ha,
Ha, relax my friend, we are two sides of the same coin." The admiral
mutters, "Mafioso Filth!" He then calls out his crew, "Ruschev,

stop, "Enough, enough. Order seal hatches." The admiral and the
