Jungle Temple (Thailand)

Jade Scepter of Tjak | 25 ![]() |
Carter sent me an image of this Scepter when he unearthed it. Now I find it just lying in the open? Did he do this on purpose? |
![]() |
Kinari Rain Drum | 35 ![]() |
Everything about this jungle seems intent on killing me. More than your average jungle. |
![]() |
Meed Yantra Knife | 45 ![]() |
Three of these were found arranged in a cluster, right in the open. Likely left as a distress signal; I'm on the right track. |
![]() |
Naga's Eye | 65 ![]() |
Oddly, I think these reptilian people may be the xenological source of the legendary naga of Cambodia. |
![]() |
Nok Thet Mask | 90 ![]() |
Legend says that the Naga King's daughter married an Indian Brahmana named Kaundinya. From their union sprang the people of this region. |
![]() |
Pelesit Urn | 120 ![]() |
My Malay is pretty rusty, but Pelesit is some form of demon. I remember something about blood sacrifices in exchange for great power. |
![]() |
Tyrannosaurus Rex Skull | 160 ![]() |
From what I can tell the ghastly markings on this skull imply its use in dark rituals. Carter was right. There's something extremely grim behind all this! |
![]() |
Bajang Charm | 200 ![]() |
A Bajang is more Malaysian spirit mythology. But why here? What was Carter on to? |
![]() |
Bronze Astrolabe | 250 ![]() |
I found some of Carter's tools. He would never abandon them. This isn't good. |
![]() |
Carved Skull | 305 ![]() |
My presence is definitely stirring up something. I can only guess Carter found more than he bargained for. He can handle himself, so this worries me. |
![]() |
Devatas Flask | 365 ![]() |
More Southeast Asian deity references. I've lost Carter's trail, and these relics are my only lead now. |
![]() |
Dragon's Tooth | 435 ![]() |
The carvings I've seen are unusual for this area. Carter stumbled into something long hidden, and it wants to keep it that way! |
![]() |
Gilded Chinthe | 505 ![]() |
The lizard men guarding this place attack on sight. Now they are setting traps for me! |
![]() |
Golden Trident | 585 ![]() |
More references to asuras. I know in Hinduism these are a group of deities, and not the good kind, if I remember correctly. |
![]() |
Hantu Protection Bell | 670 ![]() |
Time to kick this up a notch and find Carter's trail again. He's going to owe me big time. As usual. |
![]() |
Rahu's Peal | 760 ![]() |
In Hindu lore, Rahu is a severed head of an asura that swallows the sun causing eclipses. Fascinating, but does it connect? |
![]() |
Ritual Conch | 855 ![]() |
This piece is a ritual conch. The priests would sound it at dawn to pull the sun out of the shadows. There's a pattern to all this somewhere. |
![]() |
Silver Monkey Paw | 960 ![]() |
Honestly, who puts pendulum traps in the jungle? And now I'm hearing about some connection to Babylonian mythology? |
![]() |
Silver Necklace | 1070 ![]() |
It's clear Carter's been taken, and based on what I'm seeing, I need to get to the Sahara desert to pick up his trail again fast. |
![]() |
Sun Queen Crown | 1185 ![]() |
This relic is Babylonian, it shouldn't be here at all! I'm starting to think whatever is going on isn't just local. |
Desert Ruins (Sahara)
Image | Relic | Reward | Lara's note |
![]() |
Basmu Icon | 25 ![]() |
Basmu the Venomous, one of the eleven great god-beasts. These are associated with ancient Babylonian Magic. |
![]() |
Bull's Head Rhyton | 35 ![]() |
I know Carter came across many of these in his time in Crete. But I still have no real clue what it means. |
![]() |
Amulet of Zarpanit | 45 ![]() |
More creation mythology, this time Babylonian. Still no clue how this connects to what I found in the jungle. |
![]() |
Cylinder Seal of Isimud | 65 ![]() |
Again the reference to Rahu turns up. but in dark cultish whisperings. I feel a heavy and dark presence here. |
![]() |
Dagger of Tishpak | 90 ![]() |
These tombs are not just ruins, they are full of endless traps. A lot of effort went into protecting what's going on here. |
![]() |
Gnostic Dial | 120 ![]() |
Are these creatures the result of Rahu's power? Or are they what gives rise to it? |
![]() |
Helm of Srvara | 160 ![]() |
Now I'm fighting giant Persian mythological beasts? |
![]() |
Daeva Scimitar | 200 ![]() |
Tons, literally, of slain warrior golem debris. I can only assume Carter's handiwork. But why can't I find him? |
![]() |
Pairika Crown | 250 ![]() |
This was dug up by these stone warrior types before I took it from them. They are intent on getting it back. |
![]() |
Lamassu Guardian | 305 ![]() |
Finally a brief fragmented message from Carter on my sat-phone. All I could gather is a sense of the danger he's in; that we're all in. |
![]() |
Lapis Gorget | 365 ![]() |
It's pretty clear now these relics are the key to something. I'm not the only one hunting them, but for different reasons. |
![]() |
Gold Emblem of Utu | 435 ![]() |
This was left right in the open. A Sumerian Sun deity. A lot of this relates to the sun. I'm thinking this is more than coincidence. |
![]() |
Oil Lamp of Maliqa | 505 ![]() |
We've moved way beyond Myth. Given what I've witnessed here, Rahu is a real being of some sort. |
![]() |
War Mask of Azal | 585 ![]() |
The question is, what is Rahu after? And why now? There is more going on than meets the eye. |
![]() |
Utukku Plaque | 670 ![]() |
I need to make sure I've gotten every relic from this place before I go. I can't afford to miss the one we need! |
![]() |
Rabisu Scroll | 760 ![]() |
This ancient scroll makes one thing clear: these artifacts are from ancient heroes working against the serpent Rahu. |
![]() |
Simurgh Shield | 855 ![]() |
Another brief message from Carter confirming much of what I discovered. He's way ahead of me on the details, though. |
![]() |
Ur-Uta Kingshead | 960 ![]() |
I'm hearing that if some of these key relics are brought together they might be able to contain Rahu somehow. |
![]() |
Urvan Vessel | 1070 ![]() |
Carter seems to have left the region now, heading to somewhere in the Himalayas, I think. I'll need to get after him. |
![]() |
Bust of Rakush | 1185 ![]() |
Stone warriors, far more worrying than lizard men. What is it they are digging up in these ruins? |
Mountain Pass (Tibet)
Image | Relic | Reward | Lara's note |
![]() |
Prayer Wheel | 25 ![]() |
Prayer wheels, most of them recently smashed. Ascendant ancient gods. There must be a connection. |
![]() |
Yeti Footprint Cast | 35 ![]() |
Oh, great. More legends come to life. This footprint has got to be a Yeti. |
![]() |
Mask of the Oni | 45 ![]() |
Ritualistic masks, this one of the Oni. Another god-beast of Asian origin. I'm not sure I'm looking forward to this. |
![]() |
Luck Dragon Head | 65 ![]() |
Finally something positive. Relics relating to the Luck Dragon. I could use some luck. |
![]() |
Luck Dragon Tail | 90 ![]() |
Excellent, more Luck Dragon. I have to find the rest. Maybe they are part of the solution. |
![]() |
Luck Dragon Claw | 120 ![]() |
Ah, the final bit. I have a full Luck Dragon now. Our enemies seem more desperate, if it's related. |
![]() |
Mala Prayer Beads | 160 ![]() |
The monks seem to have vanished here and left these behind in haste. |
![]() |
Emerald Dragon | 200 ![]() |
A hasty note from Carter was attached to this relic. I was right. We have to pull these relics together somehow to contain Rahu. |
![]() |
Jeweled Bottle | 250 ![]() |
A note in a bottle. Nice. Carter is looking for the Bell of Enlightenment. I have to help find it. |
![]() |
Gilded Kukri Blade | 305 ![]() |
A traditional Nepalese blade. Some of these were used in combat recently. Unsuccessfully, it seems. |
![]() |
Key of Arcane Knowledge | 365 ![]() |
The legend of Rahu is about swallowing the sun, but only temporarily. It's normally just a myth to explain eclipses, but what we're seeing here is actually dangerous. |
![]() |
Amber Phoenix | 435 ![]() |
The Oni and Rahu, have they joined forces? Rahu's influence is weak, but the Oni walks amongst us now. |
![]() |
Dorje of Enlightenment | 505 ![]() |
Seems Rahu merely is the vanguard of these ancient spirits. To stop the others, I need to stop him. |
![]() |
Gyaling Horn | 585 ![]() |
Blowing this horn sent some of Rahu's minions scurrying. These relics are definitely his Achilles heel. |
![]() |
Bronze Mahakala Incense Burner | 670 ![]() |
Carter has been leaving these burners all over the place. He's clearly attempting some sort of ancient cleansing ritual. |
![]() |
Pearl Winter Lion Charm | 760 ![]() |
Even as many of the lesser threats have fallen back, the Oni and his legion are becoming stronger. |
![]() |
Bell of Enlightenment | 855 ![]() |
The Bell of Enlightenment! I struck it three times, and the roar of the Oni was deafening even at this distance. |
![]() |
Ceremonial Scepter | 960 ![]() |
This must be the relic Rahu feared most. Now that I have it, I'm being left alone by all but the most fearsome of his army. |
![]() |
Aquamarine Kirin | 1070 ![]() |
I've seen it only in the distance, but a great Kirin has appeared. It is not after us, but rather the Oni itself! |
![]() |
Amulet of Seeing | 1185 ![]() |
It seems the Oni and Rahu are contained, for now. The Amulet shows me Carter still on the move, but I cannot see where. This adventure may not be over. |
