Summary
The Lost City of Tinnos is the site uncovered by the RX-Tech workers. Evidence suggests that it was the former home of the Polynesians who had originally settled in Antarctica before fleeing the continent due to strange events.
The level is a large and sprawling one, with many sub-areas. Lara has to exit the first area by raising a ladder and solving a puzzle (the Food Chain Riddle), then cross two bridges, which brings her to a building. The building is subdivided into two sections, one of which is further divided into four puzzle areas, based on the four elements, Earth, Air, Water and Fire. At the centre of these is a light shaft which leads down to the next level, Meteorite Cavern.
The level ends with a cutscene: Lara finally catches up with Dr. Willard. However, he has already started putting the meteorite artefacts to use. Lara watches in horror as he uses their power to transform himself into a giant spider.
