A Soul, A Queen, and Madness

All these queens they're all you, Himiko first and last, oh god, and now you want Sam, yep, now you figure it out, well I'm really powerful to stop her aren't I, I've got to stop this madness, madness, another book, I have no choice now but to meet my fate tonight. I climb the stairs to the chamber of the sun, but I will never submit to the ritual, I will not emerge, queen, madness, believe what I now know to be the truth, a twisted evil beyond imagining lives within the sun, Queen An, evil that hungers within just the land and seas of Yamatai. This madness cannot continue, so I go to the chamber armed with the stolen dagger of her Stormguard general.

By the time he realizes what I have done it will be too late for the sake of Yamatai, and all the priestesses that would follow me, I must die. All right then, let's go save Sam, no Sam, Savage! It's been a while; I need some unlocks, please, more salvage, that looks like something, forget this isn't Skyrim, even though the caves and stuff may look like it, more salvage, and a campfire, that can't be good, point of no return, Lara is unable to fast travel after this camp. I'm assuming that means we're close to the end, I guess probably early period, it's pretty all right then, we're at the point of no return; let's get to it, I don't think I have enough to really, I can't really level up anything but I can take a look-see.

That's not enough salvage to really upgrade anything, that's fine, we did get a save here and this may be our last portion, anyway hopefully it lets you keep playing after that point so you can go back and then unlock everything and upgrade your weapons all the way and stuff because that'd be really shitty if they just completely ended it now. One of these areas again, lovely, all right, chasm ziggurat, I'm coming for you, Sun Queen, it's gonna blow the bridge over, even though it's been standing there for hundreds of years, no okay thousands of years, that's what killed me about that last scene.

You know why? Why are you asking everything I've me I did to survive how many lives have you taken to do the same? This is a good question. Oh never mind I took again, the bridge being unstable when it's been there for however long that civilization's been, oh magically, a path of fire, you can't okay okay game all right let's go, lamb in the rocks climbing, oh god, can I make this okay? Answer would somehow be yes not sure what I'm grabbing on to there okay there we go, I'm coming for you, Mathias.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Oh great more puzzles when I'm trying to save a freaking life, that's not how this works game. How am I gonna do this? How do I get that angle? I mean that's what I need to do um okay probably gonna involve those again somehow I don't see much to interact with so that's what's throwing me off here.

What nope 39 into lava, what the what we were just in a snowstorm all right I am clearly missing something of key importance here and why can't I just climb over this like every other gate door thing in the world in this game. Alright so need to get those open somehow or show me the way, why can't I find a way to get down there instead up down we go again even if I got something closed or open the angle just would not make any sense that does though hello brain it's very early in the morning I'm very tired and clearly not thinking clearly clearly clearly clearly okay oh god why wait.

Am I just going back up there? Yeah, that was why would I begin to think that's a good idea what why wha where am I going, not there. What is happening, oh good night, next, there we watch out go bastards are heading your way. We did everything we could to slow them down thanks race okay get to the boat is the boat dead.

We're not leaving without you, we'll be waiting like I understand the path that we took here now but I'm not sure I understand how or why she would have came up with that path, I think that just didn't make any sense to me. That totally obeys physics all right, I keep checking for stuff but if it says we can't go back then there's not going to be more stuff goodbye rocks I don't know what that was okay ow.

We're going lar we're almost there the sun queen will not stop us yet, cigarette, vestibule vegetable, vegetable and again a fire camp, I have no reason to use yet I haven't used it.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhello everyone my name is eposvox welcome back tomb raider yes indeed all right we have corpses everywhere and we must go save sam sam we must go save sam no sam no okay so what do we have here lots of blood and dead bodies and sir crest keeps freaking tweeting at me not that i mind overall i'm just i'm recording i'm recording the videos and just to let you all know as a little preview before oh that's not going to work i assume before i make the official announcement this is somewhat likely to be the last like core let's play on this channel aside from projects i've already started um i'm nothing's completely final yet i suppose um but i have thought about it for a few months now and i'm wanting to move let's plays back over to my other channel ted demolisher and primarily keep this one for either stuff with chew or this is the same thing in it nope no it's not oh oh i don't like this okay but yeah keep this either for stuff with chew or actual like one-off good videos and keep most of my just solo boring stuff um on that other channel and so i may experiment with it for a little bit before i make it fully final but it's something i just wanted to inform you guys about that i am considering i'm not sure what i'm supposed to be doing with this at the moment oh now i am it's right in front of my eyes all right see if there's no don't look like anything i missed other than this book on the ground here how could i miss that it had to be done laura left me no choice if i thought she could play the game i might have let her in on my plan but she doesn't have the grit for this business she isn't ruthless enough and and this discovery has to be mine i've crossed the line it won't look good so as unfortunate as it may be she can't make it off this island none of them can and whatever happens with sam it just makes this whole story what a dick really solari can be reasoned with so i'll need to slip away as soon as this ritual is completed i'll make the perfect sole survivor returning with the authorities the cameras and an appropriately convincing expression of sorrow i will be killing him as soon as possible i can assure you of that although the game probably won't let me i'm going to try there's a book back here how did i miss that i've been yeah i've been here the whole time we never never had a test they were waiting for us hundreds of them we never even made it to the sacred chamber from the beginning we were doomed and now i wait for my ancestors to take me i can hear them they only are killing my brothers eating them that's scary so much death so much death and that last one what is my faith will i become one of them ancestors hear me please take me away from this before they only come for me please take me to the afterlife let me die in peace oh i'm sure that's not what happened all right another quick scan of this room here since i'm apparently not paying much attention what's that oh look at that missing all the things i've seen similar artifacts from the band site in thailand all right back up we go so i think if i pull it from over here and actually finish the quicktime event here boom there we go nope that didn't happen all right now how the hell am i supposed to get up there hmm puzzles puzzles puzzles all right well one thing we are doing is we are going to close that hole so i don't fall in the pit of death over here ooh what's this nothing looks like a pressure plate of sorts there we go oh and i wonder if i can lower it lower it back on there and then just climb up to that spot i didn't even think about that yep ooh i did not like that but that did appear to be a good option all right i was gonna say i still doubt my ability to have made that jump um it's going to be a problem well i broke its point off i don't know if that affects anything all right so jumping off of that this is not going to work nope nope can't just leave it there damn it that's what i was hoping to do come on i'm hitting x push woman go hmm no okay well maybe if i go back up here real quick and then pull it back up here and then run and jump nope it's too high yes or as i can tell i can't really lower it without dropping it to the ground oh well wait wait wait i know what i'm doing that is what i needed to do i love how these guys just wait to kill her long enough for me to explore their ancient tombs and stuff there we go sure again laura there we go lara people apparently don't like my pronunciation of her name pronunciation okay the sun queens chosen priestess enters
