00:30There's a lot of time to figure out what the mythology of the game should be, because it's not something
00:33to be determined in isolation.
00:35In terms of coming up with all the different places she would go, there were visual things to be considered.
00:40That leads to the mythology you would find in those places.
00:43That leads back to what locations would be affected, and vice versa.
00:47When you look back through the cultural past, there's lots of overlap of cultures prior to the point where we
00:52can know about them.
00:54We got to dig into Hindu culture in Thailand.
00:57We got to get into the Maya in Mexico.
00:58And we have all these local cultures.
01:01But then a unifying thread that leads her to all these locations is a much earlier mythology that we are
01:08saying is the Norse thread.
01:10And that was the piece that brought it all together.
01:16Various myths use different names, but they all apply to the same remnants of the ancient world.
01:21In Tomb Raider Underworld, Lara Croft uncovers the truth behind the myth of the Norse civilization.
01:27On her journey, she basically realizes that she needs to recover Thor's hammer.
01:31Thor's hammer is actually one of the most interesting archaeological pieces of mythology.
01:36It's compelling because it's actually so powerful that it is capable of killing immortal gods.
01:43As Lara fully uncovers the secrets behind Norse mythology, she realizes that the hammer itself could possibly unleash Ragnarok, the
01:52end of the world.
01:53Pursuing her own goals is actually putting the world in danger.
01:57I need Thor's belt to get his hammer, and I need the hammer to kill a god.
02:03Pursuing her own goals is actually putting the world in danger.
02:12Pursuing her own goals is the end of the world.
02:13Pursuing her own goals is the end of the world.
