Lara retrieves the Talion and goes back to China where she opens the chamber of the Dagger but unfortunately Marco Bartoli already has it and all she can do is to observe the ritual which has a terrible end.

Lara finally finds Marco Bartoli who is not longer a human, she fights the creature and pulls the dagger out of his heart. The whole tomb begins to collapse but Lara manages to escape and returns to England. Back at home Lara is in her room when an alarm goes off. The remainder of Marco Bartoli's men have tracked her down to Surrey and are invading her mansion.
