Aware of this, a few Fiamma Nera members pursue Lara directly in another jeep whilst Marco speeds off in another direction in an attempt to head Lara off. She steals one of their jeeps and makes her escape. She succeeds in collecting the Talion and later emerges not far away from the Fiamma Nera's campsite. Meanwhile, Lara has arrived in Tibet with the Seraph and uses it to unlock the path to the Talion. They set up a campsite somewhere, maintaining radio contact with those elsewhere in the area. Whilst some of his men searched for the Seraph beneath the sea, Marco took the rest of the Fiamma Nera to Tibet to collect the Talion, the key which opens Dragon Emperor's palace in China where the dagger lies. " They want the Seraph to unlock a malignant treasure we hold in our monastery in Tibet." ―Chan Barkhang He shoots Brother Chan dead but Lara on the other hand escapes beneath the ocean to begin her search for the Seraph.
