The multiple track lead towards the Cozumel situated in Mexico, which is headed by a character named Pedro Dominguez. After slipping inside tombs created by Trinity, Lara finds a temple that includes the connection with hidden city as well as the Dagger of Chak Chel.

Murals decorating the walls suggest to the silver box and warn about the solar eclipse. Lara neglects the warnings and uses the Dagger to stop Trinity from getting it.

Graphics

Graphics are something that makes a game worth playing. Shadow of the Tomb Raider contains exceptional quality graphics that are praised by the critics.

The detailing is quite impressive, and the character facial expression makes it seem realistic. After experiencing this game for hours and hours, I didn’t find any significant drawbacks in the graphics.

Lightning is also good, but at some portions of the game, you might see quite a dim flash at dark places where I believe that they need to reduce the darkness. Other than this, everything seems fine in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider game.
