In contrast to the expansions to the two previous installments of the popular series, Tomb Raider III: The Lost Artifact was sold separately and I was not free for owners of the base game. This time the archaeologist starts her adventure in the British Isles – first she visits Scotland, then Channel Tunnel, and finally she goes to Paris. The mini campaign in The Lost Artifact is composed of several levels and its plot revolves around the search for a mysterious treasure hidden in the catacombs under Willard castle in Scottish Loch Ness. Lara Croft believes that this is the legendary Hand of Rathmore, the fifth artifact necessary for the release of enigmatic powers laying dormant in an ancient meteorite.

Traditionally, the game centers around traveling through 3D levels, solving environmental puzzles, and looking for valuable items.
