Decorated Skeletons

There are two kinds of decorated skeleton present in Alexandria in the Last Revelation. Some are present in the Catacombs and in the Temple of Poseidon, while others are only found in Pharos, Temple of Isis and Cleopatra's Palaces.

Catacombs Skeletons

These re-animated skeletons wear leather helmets, jerkins and greaves on their shins. They also carry small round buckler shields and long bronze swords. While their bodies can often be found lying around the Catacombs, they can also rise up out of the ground to attack Lara. They can even transport themselves to thin ledges where there is no possibility that anyone could be buried.

They can also jump long distances and walk and run after Lara. They can be dispatched in much the same way as Skeletons, except that their helmets make it difficult to shoot their skulls off.

Palace Skeletons

The long dead guards of Cleopatra's palaces and temples are dressed in highly ornate armour, decorated in gold and jewels. They wear small round helmets, golden armlets and anklets and wear beautiful collars. They carry a traditional khepesh (the sickle-shaped sword used by Ancient Egyptian soldiers) and a square shield.

These corpses materialise out of the floors of the Temple of Isis and the Cleopatra's Palace. Their armour and superior weapons mark them out as superior warriors both in life and in death. They can be dealt with much like other skeletons, except that the claustrophic corridors of the temple and the palace make any option other than an explosive one unpalatable to say the least.
