The Mask of AgamemnonSettingA long lost underground temple and cave system, just after the events of
Tomb Raider I.
StoryLara discovers a fragment of an ancient Greek manuscript which suggests that there is an extension to the area known as St. Francis’ Folly, inaccessible from the area she had previously visited and difficult to get into, but home to an artifact known as the Mask of Agamemnon. Mythical accounts claim that Agamemnon wore the mask during the Trojan wars, and its powers are what prevented him from being slain by an arrow. Whether it has any real powers or not, it would surely be an incredible addition to her collection, so she endeavors to find it. And some extra baubles and trinkets along the way would also be nice.
Difficulty LevelsEasy: Fewer enemies, more cash to spend and more equipment
Normal: Average numbers of enemies, less cash and less equipment
Hard: More enemies, and even less cash and equipment
Total Loot: 4945
Secrets: 5
All areas, secrets and loot are accessible/available on all difficulty levels.
Tips (no real spoilers)There is little about this mission which is similar to most other Thief missions you have played.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
* Lara Croft has many talents, but stealth is not one of them. While you can still use shadows to your advantage much as Garrett would, you lack the ability to judge how well hidden you are. Thus, there is no light gem.
* Due to lack of time and difficulty of implementation, there are no guns as in the original Tomb Raider games. You have traditional Thief weaponry, plus one new grenade at your disposal. Maybe if I do another TR-styled mission it will feature more modern firepower…
* Tomb Raider features frequent camera cutscenes where you get a ‘preview’ of the area you’ve just entered, or get to see the effects of frobbing a lever or button when they control something that’s not nearby. The style of those brief cutscenes is replicated as faithfully as possible in this mission. Note: When you see bluish lights during a cutscene, they serve as a hint, so heed them.
* Tomb Raider features a great deal of acrobatic running, jumping and mantling. Since many Thief players find this style of play overly difficult or tedious, there is some but hopefully not too much of this style of play required in this mission. When in doubt, try a running-jump-mantle by running and then pressing and holding Jump down until you mantle up.
In case you missed it in the Preview, it's based on a (

My understanding is that this mission is complete, but is based on an earlier un-finished mission by Gumdrop. All Yandros meant was that the original mission was almost complete when he got it.

Yes, it's complete and a lot of fun to play! You'll all enjoy it, I think. I certainly have! :)

That's correct.
