Thanks.
Glad you came back to save me stranger.
Name's Kurtis.
Lara. And this is business.
I owe you one.
You owe me a painting.
Sorry. That went AWOL at the Louvre.
What brings you here from Paris?
Eckhardt! We have business that only one of us will walk away from.
You?
Personal reasons.
Eckhardt plans to use all five Obscura Paintings
to revive an ancient evil called The Sleeper.
And rebreed the Nephilim race.
To do that he collects alchemically transmuted elements from his murder victims' bodies.
I've seen him at work as the Monstrum, with that glove.
Eckhardt is the original Black Alchemist
and now he's very close to finding the last Painting.
Does he know where it is?
Yes. It's hidden in a Lux Veritatis Vault beneath the Strahov.
That Paintings must be destroyed
and to do that I need the Shard you picked up at the Louvre.
There should be three Periapt Shards.
Eckhardt has the last one.
If all three Shards are united they can destroy him permanently,
so he keeps it safe.
Tell me about the Shards.
They're ancient weapons of the Lux Veritatis.
Two of them were entrusted to my father.
Eckhardt murdered him to stop them passing into my hands.
He failed.
So Eckhardt went after your father. And you want revenge.
Justice!
We should work together.
You're trusting me?
Here. How can they be used to kill Eckhardt?
He must be stabbed with all three Shards.
We can divide the forces against us if we split up.
You need the third Shard so you should go after that.
I'll find the last Painting and destroy it.
OK. Eckhardt guards the Shard in his old alchemy lab in the lower regions.
I can find my way there.
The Engraving shows the Painting hidden in something called the Vault of Trophies.
Here. The entrance is underwater.
No problem.
How did she get the Engraving and the map?
It doesn't matter.
We have lost too many men trying to open that damned Vault.
Perhaps her special talents will help us get what we need.
The male will be coming this way soon. Make the preparations.
There's no danger she can destroy the last Painting?
We won't allow her the opportunity.
The fifth Obscura Painting is mine already.
And then... (bad laughs)
