[@territhetankedupterrapin6592]

Thoroughly enjoyed this! ❤

[@Kez_aka_A55Mastr]

Jonell Elliot's voice was always perfect for Lara. I'm so glad Schofield has done this, it clears up a few loose ends and gives us Classic fans something to be excited about. It's really made me realise how much I miss Core and the OG Lara. 😭🖤

[@GimmickMemes]

Life has been rough for me lately so its super comforting hearing Jonell Elliot as Lara again

[@STE.B]

Sending positive vibes ✨️

[@manuteragni6264]

I'm in tears. The story is so beautiful! And narrated by THAT LARA HERSELF! Thank you Jonell, Ash, and the team behind this magnificent project

[@TombofAsh]

Sent your comment to Jonell just now

[@beatricesanfilippo6925]

Lara and Putai are good team since Tomb Raider Afterlife and last Revelations m, during CHRONICLES and before the Nightmare stone, Curse of sword, the prophecy and Angel of Darkness

[@TheEmanueleCastelli]

This is pure magic! The story, the artwork, the music, the editing… A piece of Art!

[@Adam-wr8ts]

Thank you. The original timeline is timeless in its beauty and this is such a treat. Lara's voice is both hauntingly and comfortingly familiar. The Lost Dominion next?

[@patrickcroft6379]

I'm honestly blown away. When I watched the premiere last night I was in awe, goosebumps all over my body. Just imagining that AOD is turning 20 next year and continues to live on despite everything that was said about it and how it turned out in the end, it still warms my heart. I will always stand by my words when I say that AOD continues to persevere because of love! The love that was poured into it by the developers, the voice actors, the composers and Murti. This love reached the fans even if the game never managed to reach its full potential, this love made all of this happen. And I feel it here too, the love that everyone involved in this short film poured into it. The artwork, the soundtrack, the execution, this is the essence of Tomb Raider in a non-game type of media captured at its finest. I'm so so grateful that you all made this happen, thank you!

[@DeanKopri]

Thank you very much! We enjoied making this and I think it shows :)

[@PikaLink91]

A lot has been said about AOD, but despite a heap of missed potential and dropped content I enjoyed what WAS there immensely. That game really gets dunged on more than it deserves.

[@rockmanhunter]

That's such a wonderful surprise for me. OG Core timeline is always gonna be my all-time favorite and AoD is definitely one of my favorite TR games ever, full of potential and great ideas, so watching this really makes me happy. I'm glad Jonell also returned to voice Lara, as I loved her work in 4, 5 and AoD.

[@ElectroTherapyFTSoul]

Despite all of the cool details about Lara's life in the Bantiwa tribe, I'm just happy they finally answered something that always bugged me about Angel of Darkness and it's repeated use of this one cutscene: "You left me in Egypt!" No, he didn't. Chronicles clearly shows that Werner stayed behind trying to save her. But this finally gives us the concrete answer that, no, Lara NEVER found out about Werner's attempts to save her. She never saw him. She discovers kids found her rucksack, but didn't know that Werner uncovered it first. At Werner's apartment, after Lara confronts him about his supposed abandonment, he didn't have time to reveal the truth as he immediately tries to fight off the Monstrum. This inconsistency had always bugged me, and I theorized that perhaps Lara never knew about Werner's loyalty, but I'm glad this can finally give us a proper answer.

[@bvggamer3707]

Yes. This is what the next game should be. Lara exploring Africa looking for Putai and scar as El Hawa. I love it!!!!!

[@gilgamesh310]

Man, I love Jonell's voice.

[@yohnnyjames]

JONELL BACK AS LARA! I LIVED TO SEE THIS DAY!

[@SpiceTable]

This is the Lara Croft I want. This is the real Tomb Raider plot style that defines the genre. Goose bumps at the ending.

[@dominiktatarka4810]

Such a perfection 😭😭😭 I cant... 😭😭😭 Now I not only want Angel of Darkness Remake woth all the cut content + both planned sequels finished but also this story made as kind of a spin-off game between Last Revelation and TRAOD 😭😭😭 my heart can barelly take it 💔😭 BUT A HUGE THANK YOU ASH, JONELL AND ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED !!! 😍🥰😘😭

[@y2kinder]

This was a fantastic watch! The butterflies I got in my stomach when I heard Jonelle voicing Lara again omg thanks to everyone involved in creating this!

[@Shadow-vw1ee]

This.... This is the best I've seen in my entire life!!😍😍😍 The voice, the music, the beautiful and amazing story of Lara makes me happy, for which I am insanely grateful to you!♥️♥️

[@DeanKopri]

Glad you like it! Thank you :)

[@GabrielOnuris]

You nailed the atmosphere; it was great to hear Lara's voice again, I also loved the art and music. This is one of the best Tomb Raider related content to be made in years, thank you.

[@DeanKopri]

Thank you :) Glad you like the music and the whole video :)

[@kubsy7981]

This is fantastic. What can I say? I am astonished with how the story is presented with Jonell returning as a voice of Lara Croft and the fact that it's canon. I absolutely loved this and thank you for this short story.

[@TombofAsh]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@suliboytellem8330]

BRAVO!!! I really loved the story and its more reboot sensibilities in that Lara is not just there to take the shiny reward, fight a deranged crime lord and then bounce. She is part of the place, she immerses herself in its culture, she cares about its people. It really gave classic Lara a lot of heart and personality. Ms. Jonell completely killed it. she was fantastic back then and she's fantastic now. Thank you to all who was involved in making this. This fan is really happy.

[@laraandlauracroft5748]

I feel so horribly for having missed this, why didnt KZbin put this in my recommendations??? But oh my god I'm actually crying, Jonell reprising her role is EVERYTHING! I loved this video and story! I was so scared that this was cancelled but i shouldnt have doubted Tomb Raider fans! Great and amazing video💓💓💓 Love everyone who was part of this!

[@JB-Editing]

I hope she will be the voice for Lara again in the new game! ❤

[@MatthewWaters]

Now I want a game of this! Stealth raiding camps in the El Hawa outfit above ground, exploring the submerged relics and caverns of Egypt. So cool! Fantastic work from all of you👏🏼

[@SuperHitman55]

Jonell is the best Lara. No discussion!

[@avaanderson1261]

Came here from listening to the episode where Ash talks to Murti Schofield on Raidercast. This was beautifully made, thank you!

[@RainaAudron]

Finally had a chance to see this and it did not disappoint, really well put together! Thank you to all involved! 👍

[@ashtondelarosa7290]

Absolutely beautiful. It's awesome to hear Jonell Elliot reprise her role as Lara's voice for the narration. The music and illustrations are remarkable. I someday hope we might see ports or remakes of the original timeline on modern hardware.

[@TombofAsh]

Thanks so much!

[@gayonetta230]

Wow. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this. This is the missing episode from classic Lara's life that fans have speculated about for almost 20 years! To hear it told by AoD Lara herself is fulfilling in a way I never predicted. Just wow, amazing stuff!

[@aaronsmith8644]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!! Shelly, Judith, and Jonell are the true versions of Lara in my book. I love them all equally as they all brought out Lara’s personality in the best way. It lit up my entire day to see this recommended to me. Thank you to everyone who made this happen, and an even bigger thanks to Jonell for realizing how much something like this would mean to the TR community. You can really feel (and hear!) all of the heart that went into creating this ❤❤

[@hunterhealey8222]

This is beautiful.🤍😭

[@Molnian]

⚡I've watching this video over and over again, beautiful illustrations, great soundtrack and listening voice of the original Lara Croft is generally cool. This channel deserves more subscribers :)⚡

I had so many happy tears flowing while watching this. It has been such a long time i truly felt Tomb Raider and this brought that feeling back. Congratulations to everyone involved you did it and thanks Ash for making it happen ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Jonell Elliott 'is' lara croft! Looking forward to this Ash

[@manuteragni6264]

Just finished the story!!! I LOVED IT!!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

[@CroftCrazy31]

Had the pleasure of seeing this at TR26, can’t wait to watch it again!!❤

[@BlueKoshinomi8]

This is awsome!! O how I miss this voice. This story. This is Lara Croft.

[@missyuna06]

The voice and the story,... beautiful :,)

[@JasonCameron774]

Yes! Well done to all involved, though it's hard to imagine Lara ever wanting to settle to one location. There's still so much love and support for the original Lara Croft who made fans of millions.

[@Potkanka]

I loved it! I don't know why I expected to be as long as the text version, that would take like an hour! Was the girl holding the backpack Chania? I was kinda hoping for a visual reference for her :D Anyway, the art was absolutely beautiful, the music amazing, the voiceover... well, it's Lara, just as we last heard her in AoD

[@DeanKopri]

[@marinochkakhadgieva3101]

Выражаю огромную благодарность всем кто участвовал в создании этого видео. Это потрясающе 😍

[@Thagomizer]

This was fantastic! It's been far too long since I've heard the 'real' Lara! I do wonder, though: Since the foreign legion was mentioned, did Kurtis happen to know anything about their dealings here? He used to be a member.

[@MIGUELUMBRELLA]

Gran trabajo, esta historia da para un videojuego propio! Muy bueno, gracias de corazón ❤️

[@Ariquel]

Amazing! I still need to read the files so this is all new to me. Also loved to hear Jonell again!

[@94frankiec]

Wow this video was incredible! The artwork, Jonell voicing Lara, the storytelling 👏🏼 It is a little confusing though how Lara was trained, built up so much energy and learned so many skills in the desert for her to be so weak and unfit in the beginning of AOD. You’d think she should of been incredibly skilled and strong if this was Lara’s planned journey all along

[@JustinOToole]

4:10 doesn't that contradict Von Croy's men finding her backpack?

[@Pencliff]

Everything about this is exquisite Everyone involved has done such an amazing job to bring this to life

[@DeanKopri]

[@SerhanApaydn]

Thank you guys this is awesome! We can all die in peace after all those years 😁 I've got one small question though (spoilers): Von Croy's men found the backpack inside the ruins (chronicles ending: "We've found her!") How could Lara see kids playing with her backpack somewhere around her tribe? (03:55)

[@Terenete]

von Croy left the backpack at the site as memorial since they didn't manage to find Lara there. One of the kids took the backpack from the place and brought it back to camp.

[@leonreaper90]

Jonell elliott still sounding the same from 2003 ^_^

[@croftrider5191]

I love it so much, while watching in Derby..... It is just.... It is perfect!

[@DeanKopri]

[@kresimirdujmicbaritone6113]

I hope we will get stories after AOD to conclude everything

[@darthmarticusLFC]

Real OGs remember the 'The Amulet of Power' book

[@Avedare]

I read that, and unfortunately that was highly concentrated pile of sh*t 🤮

[@TombofAsh]

@@Avedare exactly. felt like a story the guy wrote a while back and just slapped TR on it

[@kubsy7981]

@@Avedare yeah, the fact that, according to the book, she got rescued by an "unknown man" in the temple of Horus is very strange. Completely ignoring Putai.

[@dimthestageagain]

I ended up liking that book a lot more than I expected - the plot could be described in generous terms as "thin", but as a stand-alone adventure with Lara I think it works well. E.E. Knight who wrote "The Lost Cult" from the same series stated that the Eidos / Core side spent 7 months revising and editing the canon outline provided to the authors, which was eventually finalised just one month before the deadline for the novel. Mike Resnick died two years ago so there's no way of knowing for sure, but I think the absence of Putai and the Bedouins has more to do with their removal from the finished game than an omission on the part of the author. According to E.E. Knight, the Eidos team insisted on approving "every little twist and turn" in the books, so from their side they were certainly willing to accept Resnick's story as canon.

[@ivy7488]

Omg I literally can't wait!!! This is going to be awesome! ❤

[@tobiasr3aper16]

So uh... how could the kids from the tribe have Lara's backpack if Von Croy finds it buried underneath the Temple of Horus at the end of Chronicles?

4:38 Scar is a a real bloodborne Hollow Knight whose breath is of the wild. A proper 2 timing shadow furnace hunting the night. Luckily, Lara tears him a new Elden Ring.

[@JRP90]

Really enjoyed this, and of course I echo all of the other comments already posted - thank you! 😊 One thing I don’t believe was explained however: in the cutscene at the end of TR5, Von Croy finds Lara’s backpack inside the pyramid, so how does the little girl have it during this? 🧐

[@Anonymimus]

How on earth were they planning to bring all of this into Angel of Darkness? Well, I guess they didn't plan and that was kind of the mistake. But still, that feels like waaay to much story that's seemingly disconnected from anything that happens in AoD.

This story is much more interesting than the entire last Tomb Rider trilogy. It could make a great game! And by the way, I'm the only one offended by the fact that Seth is still quietly underground and in fact he can be freed from the rubble by simply removing the amulet. I would like a remake of the game where Horus takes him into the stars with him so he won't be on earth anymore.
