City
City is the fourth and final level in the London levels of Tomb Raider III. It is a very short level, consisting entirely of a boss fight with Sophia Leigh.

Summary
The level begins immediately after the end of the cutscene from the previous level, in which Lara confronts Sophia about the latter's artefact, the Eye of Isis, which Sophia grabs and runs out of her office.
Once the "City" level begins, Lara is standing alone in Sophia's office. The objective of the level is to chase Sophia as she climbs up the next building towards a helipad with a waiting helicopter, and relieve her of her artefact. Easier said than done, of course - Sophia shoots green energy bolts from the Eye of Isis at Lara, who must dodge them as she goes. Also, Sophia's experiments with immortality have left her immune to ordinary weapons, so even Lara's most powerful weapons have no effect on her. Therefore what is needed to defeat Sophia is a little strategy - shooting an electrical panel, which electrifies the metal walkway she is standing on, and fries Sophia. Then Lara must work her way to the other side of the street's buildings, and climb up to turn off the electric walkway, and then pick up the Eye of Isis which Sophia dropped when she got destroyed.
Sophia's getaway helicopter is visible (and audible), but the helipad is not accessible normally, and can be reached only by using bugs.

Notes
Enemies
Sophia Leigh is the only enemy. Since she is not killed directly, she is not counted as a kill in the Statistics at the end of the level.
