Story
Peru- Return to Paraiso is the second level of Tomb Raider: Legend which chronicles Lara following her discovery of the stone dais in Tiwanaku Bolivia and meeting James Rutland Jr. heading back to Paraiso Peru after hearing about old believed dead friend Amanda Evert.

Lara meets friend Anaya there and then heads to the Paraiso digsite of which her and a handful of university friends including Amanda dug at and uncovered an underground tomb belonging to that of the Queen of Tiwanaku.

Lara Arrives in Paraiso
Lara arrives in Paraiso and doesn't meet a warm welcome as many of the townspeople quickly retreat to their homes and shut their homes and windows.

Lara then meets Anaya in the Markeplace by the Peruvian Flag and monumental statue.

Rutland's mercernaries then arrive on truck and attack Lara and Anaya.

Anaya takes off in her yellow jeep as Lara stays behind to ward them off.

Lara then heads from the rooftops to the dirty road highway where she obtains a motorcycle from one of Rutland's men.

Lara then catches up with some of Rutland's men in their trucks pursuing Anaya.

Lara eliminates the trucks and joins Anaya in her jeep as they come to the Paraiso digsite which her, her believed dead friend Amanda and a handful of other university friends dug at.

Lara's Flashback
Lara then remembers her at the digsite at age nineteen with Amanda as they entered the dig that university friend Jason had broken into.

Lara then is separated from Amanda as a strange demonic ghostly creature begins killing her friends beginning with Eve and ending with Phillip.

Lara then finally catches up with Amanda in a room with a sealed door with a mysterious artefact lodged at its centre.

Amanda in quickened panic removes the artefact believing it many open the door.

It instead vanquishes the demon temporarily as it is about to lunge at Lara.

The place then begins to collapse and as Lara get's ahead of Amanda and behind a gate Amanda get's her shoelace tied to a fallen boulder just as the place floods.

Lara after several attempts to get to Amanda she abandons hope and escapes.

The Tiwanaku Queen's Sarcophagus
The scene is then taken back to present day as Lara enters the digsite through the same way the water that flooded has formerly had.

She enters and finds Amanda's untied shoe to the boulder which had pinned her down confirming her survival.

Lara then presses on and comes to the tomb of the Tiwanaku Queen.

There the finds the ceremonial copy of the Queen's excalibur and learns of the King Arthur's legend's connection to everything.

Lara then asks of Zip to schedule a meeting with Yakuza leader Shogo Takamota in order to obtain the Excalibur sword fragment of which he stole from Waseda University.

Rutland's men then enter the tomb and are taken care of Lara as she heads to the surface and saves Anaya.
