After entering the "forbidden tomb" in the manor, young Lara discovered a hand-drawn note with hidden coordinates. By adjusting a globe to 30 North and 90 East, I revealed a secret ladder leading to more artifacts. Then I solved a mechanical puzzle involving a great bat and shielded knights to free the White Queen.
So the kid survived with no injury after her fall, and then I had to move inside the building and enter the hallroom that Lara mentioned as the forbidden tomb. And it looked like this place was not a regular building, but a museum of her father's greatest discoveries.
When I started checking around the room, I noticed valuable artifacts from all over the world, each one telling a story of a distant land. And then Lara locked the door with a playful sense of determination. She moved with a confidence that mirrored the great explorer she was destined to become one day.
She found a valuable intel on a hand-drawn note where she mentioned the great bat stole the queen at 30 North and 90 East by night. It was a riddle, designed to test her mind and her observational skills. I studied the drawings, and tried to visualize how these numbers would help me navigate the room's complex mechanisms.
At first, I didn't understand what the intel was for, but then I understood I had to interact with this mechanical globe where I had to look for the exact altitude on the massive globe.
After finding 30 North and 90 East on the globe, the open roof got closed, plunging the room into a dramatic darkness. And a ladder got released from the floor above with a thin light appearing on the globe.
I had to climb up that ladder, and it looked like the floor above was full of artifacts that Lara has been seen before, as she mentioned while identifying the various statues and relics. Each piece was a memory of her father's travels, preserved here in the heart of their home.
I had to use this mechanical wheel to make that mechanical bat spread her wings. The wings were massive, and it was a beautiful piece of craftsmanship that dominated the ceiling.
After the great bat's wings were unfurled, there came two red lights below, so I had to work on some puzzles next. Upon Lara mentioning the clues, I had to move the knights with shields into position to reflect the light correctly across the floor.
The clue Lara was giving me allowed me to solve the puzzle easily, aligning the shields until the path was clear. And at last, the White Queen got revealed, who was stuck behind the ladder.
Then I had to interact with the globe again, turning the wheels one final time so the ladder gets back upwards. Once the obstruction was moved, the White Queen got free and could be moved to the center of the display. It was a satisfying conclusion to the riddle, proving that even as a child, Lara was a master of puzzles, and yeah, thanks to me for helping her.

The reveal of the White Queen was really satisfying. It felt like the perfect payoff to all the exploration and puzzle solving. Good game.
Yeah, that was a satisfying moment.
I liked how young Lara already showed the intelligence and curiosity that would later define her, born as a legendary explorer.
Yeah, you could already see hints of the explorer she would become.
