About

Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact is a mini-sequel to Tomb Raider III, released exclusively for PC and macOS. Unlike the expansion packs for the first two games, this was initially sold as a standalone product rather than as part of a re-release, and was not available for free download for existing owners.

Lara learns of the existence of a fifth meteorite piece called the Hand of Rathmore, located in a Scottish castle formerly owned by the evil late Dr. Willard.
