Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis Enemies - Tyrannosaurus rex
The T-Rex is the boss of all bosses for a Tomb Raider fan. It is the encounter the entire Peru level builds toward.
"Lara must outwit the T-Rex, as simply shooting it just won't work," says Jason Epps, Design Director at Crystal Dynamics. The encounter has been completely reimagined from its 1996 origins. "At first we imagined the T-Rex fight to be an arena-based fight like the originals, but as the idea of the chase evolved, it just took over."
"How you face that worthy opponent has been reimagined to be more blockbuster, spectacle-driven," adds Raul Siqueira, Game Director at Crystal Dynamics. What was once a traditional combat encounter is now one of the game's cinematic set pieces, giving the T-Rex a bigger presence across the entire level.
Long ago, the Inca and the mysterious Qualopec bent this biome to their will, taming its dangerous beasts. "With the Inca gone," says Jeff Adams, Experience Director at Crystal Dynamics, "those beasts now rule it once again."
Peru is their world now. Lara is just passing through.
