<p data-rte-fromparser="true">Lara began attempting to distance herself from her father's memory. She refused to use her inheritance, and never returned to the manor. Several years later, Lara having witnessed evidence of an <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22immortal%20soul%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Himiko%20%28Survivor%20Timeline%29%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BHimiko%20%28Survivor%20Timeline%29%7Cimmortal%20soul%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1343-3009487925f0bc57c7e374" href="/wiki/Himiko_(Survivor_Timeline)" title="Himiko (Survivor Timeline)">immortal soul</a>, realized her father was right. After publishing her account of what happened on <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Yamatai%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Yamatai%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BYamatai%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1343-3009487925f0bc57c7e374" href="/wiki/Yamatai" title="Yamatai">Yamatai</a>, she was discredited by Trinity in a similar manner to her father. Lara retrieved her father's research on the Divine Source and the Deathless Prophet, she discovered the location of the Prophet's tomb in Syria, discovering it empty and being surrounded by Trinity, Lara was forced to destroy the tomb in order to escape, using Trinity's own set charges. Lara however found a clue that gave her a fresh lead, a symbol of a cross, Lara returned home, to do more research.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">At this time, Lara was sent an eviction notice from her uncle Atlas. Lara searched the house hoping to find her father's will to prove her ownership, however she instead found many of her father's notes that pointed to a secret lab. Lara discovered that her father had in fact claimed her mother and brought her home, interring her in the family crypt. Lara had the grave verified so she could nullify her uncle's claims for the manor.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Lara resumed her research to find which lead her to the myth of <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Kitezh%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Kitezh%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BKitezh%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1343-3009487925f0bc57c7e374" href="/wiki/Kitezh" title="Kitezh">Kitezh</a>. Trinity stole her lead, and Lara was thrust into a race to find the lost city. Lara headed to Siberia in order to find the Divine Source.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Lara was captured, and learned that Ana was a spy for Trinity all along. Lara befriended the local people, who were the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22descendants%20of%20the%20prophet%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Remnants%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BRemnants%7Cdescendants%20of%20the%20prophet%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="1343-3009487925f0bc57c7e374" href="/wiki/Remnants" title="Remnants">descendants of the prophet</a>. Lara discovered the location of the city and the resting place of the Divine Source, proving once and for all that her father was right. However, Lara was forced to Destroy the Divine Source to stop Trinity from claiming it.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Lara realized that she couldn't save her father from the choices he had made, and that she instead must forge her own path. However, she no longer resented her father, and was dedicated to restoring her family's good name.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Years later, taking down Trinity's cells and following Lord Croft's notes on the Mexican dig sites before his interest in Syria, Lara was able to follow her father's path to the hidden city and Mayan artifacts called Ix Chel and Chak Chel. However, as a result of only obtaining one of the artifacts, Lara set a Mayan apocalypse in motion following a series of disasters with the result of the sun being stuck in eternal eclipse. Lara eventually met with Dr. Dominguez, whom she recognized from her father's notes, who set out on a quest to remaking the world before the apocalypse set in motion after noticing Lara only having the key of Chak Chel.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Making her way through series of disasters, discovering the Mayan city, locating the other Mayan artifact and encountering Dominguez once more, Lara was forced to give away the box of Ix Chel. During their encounter, Dominguez revealed at last that it was him who ordered Richard Croft's death, defending his actions how he was protecting his world and that it was a necessary evil, to which Lara protested stating it wasn't to a nine year old.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Now in posession of the Mayan artifacts, Dominguez made his way to the site of his remaking of the world alongside with major Trinity forces and the high council, but was stopped in time by Lara with Trinity's leadership lost and the organization going into disarray. Before his death, Dominguez asked Lara to protect Paititi, to which she agreed. Upon coming into contact with the Key, Lara was presented with a temptation of living her childhood where her mother was alive and that Richard stayed with the family. Looking at the scenery, Lara was able to say final goodbye to family before returning to reality and restoring the sun.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">After returning back from South America, Lara had the Croft manor renovated and her father's reputation restored.
