Idk lol. Maybe they didn't plan that far ahead. xD

Maybe she is, according to them, the only one that can stop this island's 'curse' (they might think it's a curse, but in fact it is not of course (no supernatural stuff, after all). So Steph died for no reason and Sam might too. :o

It will obvs be Natla and this island will end up being another remnant of Atlantis that she was talking about in Anniversary. :pi:

I think you just uncovered the mystery of the island! They all just want to get off "they've waited so long" hence the islands history with the vessels and Armadas but need a female to break the curse! :yik:

^Oh my God. It's so simple. D:

Ooh yes! I like the word host, and I hope we have to fight something big at the end.

Without QTE.

But they only started inhabiting the island 40 years ago, can they really be that stupid?

I hope there are some real old scavengers on the island, although it would be cooler if they looked more ancient tribal.

My body might actually split into pieces if that happens.

I wonder why it failed with Steph. They sacrificed her. Wasn't that like enough?

Maybe little Miss Stephanie wasn't fertile. ew.

Or she wasn't Asian enough.

Maybe Sam is of ancient Japanese bloodlines and that's why they need her.

edit: But how would they even know?

They need the right woman maybe Steph died during the ritual before it could be completed. :)

That could also be why they need the strongest from each shipwreck! They need a female who can survive a battering. Welcome Lara Croft. :D

So then why was Lara just hung up in a sack? Did they think she was a boy like everyone else did?

^ :vlol: They prepared her there just in case it would fail with Steph and Sam.
They definitely need a woman (she must be a virgin, maybe) for something, that's for sure :p

Sam and Lara certainly aren't virgins.

If only ESC shirt guy was a girl.

Maybe they were all female victims Steph was captured with Lara so she could have been suspended up too. That could be why the scavenger did not want her to escape and she was captured in the first place. ;)

Oh. So you think maybe they were both capture at the same time, and perhaps Steph tried to escape but she failed, and then Lara is successful?

OMG, this is so exciting. XD

The ritual never succeeded (since such a thing isn't even possible in TR as of now), so they asked themselves what the reason could be. One of the reasons could be that Steph wasn't a virgin, so they went for a younger specimen (lol) now. That's why they picked Sam over Lara...

Why does that Scavenger kill Lara in the den level, though (if you fail). That's something that just doesn't fit into all of this. If the women supply is so limited, you'd think they would try the ritual on all of them just to make sure. :/

Well...

They might need a girl who would replace Iyo. :pi:

Holly fudge-balls. That's our stuff right there. D:

Sam will be tha queen!

Well I guess once they struggle it's life or death for you or them. Like what happened with Lara and the second scavenger.

This is interesting too...

^That would be Himiko before she died, right? After Amaterasu?

Yep. And I think the palace is the big monastery on the top of the mountain in the parachute demo.

Guards - Someone posted a screenshot of the scene where Lara's running on the bridge. There's a character in the distance that I called a samurai. It looks like it has a long sword or something.

:eek:

"remaining unmarried"

See, they need a virgin!! (Unfortunately for them, I don't think Sam is as innocent as she appears. http://i.imgur.com/V3C9c.png)

@Larafan:
Yeah, I see what you mean. Things don't always go 'according to plan'. I guess they didn't want her dead, otherwise they would have done that from the start instead of putting her in a sack.

BTW that giant temple, there are 2. The other one is across the bridge.

I NEED to see the samurai!

Right there!

And it really does look like a japanese samurai. The sword, the helmet, even maybe the armour...

http://www.talariaenterprises.com/images2/5345b.jpg

oh my jeezus don't get my hopes up yall. There better scary Japanese samurai dudes.

All I can make out would be the sword, and it does sort of look like one!

I still wonder who or how they are launching those giant fireballs into the sky.

UMGEA Machine Gun Samurais!

Maybe it takes more than one female for things to work? Maybe up to one hundred females, and they've sacrificed each female they've found from the wrecks? :p

Lol, they're there like 40 years and they're still collecting women. How long would it take to pick 100 of them :vlol:

I really want to see the helmet and armour, but I can't. :-(((
Just looks like normal hair on his head, only his right arm looks weird. As if he is wearing some sort of improvised prosthesis.

But undead samurai dudes would be so epic. *___*
:(

^ I can see something on his head. It still could be a normal hat, though, yeah.

But the samurai was my first thought when I saw the pic.

There are no samurai, only baddies with guns who want to kill Lara for whatever reason. :/

The guy flying through the air looks like her has a sword, or it's a raindrop. But te definitely has those tapped up pants that most the scavengers have.

Idk, that's just a guesstimate. :p But it may take a certain amount. :p

You're a killjoy ;__;

That one magazine did mention concept art of statues of monsters that might come to life, or something.

Never heard of it.

Yes u ded boi. It was the same article that mentioned the cell phone device and the fire breathing Rastafarian.

Find the scans...

It's here but imageshack is a piece of fudge that comes out of a butt, because it turns all images low quality so now it can't be read...

http://img101.**************/img101/1...tralia5647.jpg

You can barely make the words out anymore.

I remember this too, actually. Don't remember which Mag it was, though.

Nah, just being realistic. The moment I saw the gameplay from E3 this year, I thought 'Legend version 2.0'. Just humans and animals to fight, I'm afraid. >_<

@Larafan:
I see the part about the fire spitting maniac, but nothing about statues. :o

And YES, I ****ing hate Imageshack with a passion. :mad:

I can read the "another drawing (had) him spitting fire out of his mouth. If you think that's creppy, you should have seen...." and the rest is blurry ://

It says something about his weapon of choice.
