While the South American jungle is an appropriate environment to find a maned wolf, these animals are almost entirely solitary - even mates that share territory spend most of their time apart. Lara is attacked on several occasions by large packs of maned wolves.Art Evolution: Weapon upgrades look considerably more like what you'd expect gun parts made out in the wilderness out of whatever scrap you can scrounge up to look like, compared to the sleeker, more professional parts that you'd expect from a master gunsmith.Fortunately, their armor doesn't protect them from poison of any kind, so once you unlock fear arrows, poison grenades and co., these guys become much less of a hassle. Needless to say these enemies can also soak up significantly more body shots than their unarmored buddies, making them quite the headache compared to the low-ranking cannon fodder. Armored enemies invariably wear helmets, which means they're immune to stealthy insta-kill headshots, which in turn forces you to adopt completely different tactics if you want to avoid messy one-against-twenty shootouts. Though you're a bit limited on who you can talk to. There is one other exception to the outfit limits: If you did Rise of the Tomb Raider on a linked account, and got the Baba Yaga DLC, the Wraithskin outfit looks the part well enough they let you wear it in town. It gets even worse once you reach the point in the story where Lara infiltrates the Cult of Kukulkan because, unlike the Vestige Outfits, the Serpent Guard outfit you're forced to wear for several tough battles doesn't provide any buffs whatsoever. The arbitrary part comes from the fact that these restrictions persist even after their purpose - keeping Lara's presence hidden from the Cult of Kukulkan - is gone. Some combat segments do give her access to her full arsenal, but it's not something you should count on most of the time. Similarly, she can't wear any outfit that isn't mostly or fully Incan. Arbitrary Mission Restriction: The only weapon Lara is allowed to carry in Paititi and its surroundings is her bow you can't even upgrade her guns at base camps in the greater area.We never learn the details, but it seems to veer closer to 3a. Apocalypse How: Starts out as a Class 0 due to a series of natural disasters, but these are just the precursors to the real thing that would result in either a Class 2 or a Class 3a, depending on what the Big Bad has in mind.The first special outfit she acquires is made from the pelt of the first empress jaguar she killed personally, she stalks the jungle like a jaguar, and the top tier of her makeshift knife refers to the beast by name. Lara herself has a more subtle jaguar motif going on.All three tend to wear elaborately decorated helmets styled after their namesake animal. The three castes that play an active role in the game are Serpent Guards (priests and elite warriors), Eagle Archers, and the Jaguar Warriors, who act as city guards and patrols. ![]() The Cult of Kukulkan's iconography draws heavily from the local fauna.Alas, Poor Villain: Dominguez is a rather sympathetic villain who gets a tragic and honorable death.Jonah also goes through quite a lot over the course of the story. Lara survives a tsunami, a plane crash, a mud slide and at least is used as a sacrifice. ![]() unless you own all the DLC tombs, which roughly doubles the amount of combat encounters you'll have to go through, and some of the ensuing shootouts there are massive. Combat is much less frequent than the previous entries, focusing more on exploration, platforming, and puzzles. ![]() ![]() A large cavern, but nevertheless a cavern. In the finale, helicopters are again fighting ground forces, and are forced into close proximity by the fact that they're operating in a cavern. Justified in the oil field fight since it's acting as gunship support for ground troops, which does require operating at low altitude.
