New page

There are a lot of '''Easter Eggs''' in the [[Blood Ties]] [[DLC]] of [[Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration]]. Unlike the [[Easter Eggs]] found in the previous games these are mostly references to the earlier games.

== List of Easter Eggs ==

* [[Winston]] in the [[Freezer]]
: In the document [[Little Angel]] Winston mentions Lara pulling a prank on him, locking him in the walk-in freezer.

* Venice music
: The [[Old Record Player]] in the [[Library (Rise of the Tomb Raider)|Library]] plays a tune familiar to those that played Tomb Raider II; when Lara climbs the bookshelves while the music is playing it's very reminiscent of those Venice levels where she also visited a [[Library of Venice|library]]. Also, there was a similar phonograph on [[Yamatai]] that played some eerie Japanese tune.

* [[Stuffed T-Rex]]
: A stuffed [[T-Rex]] is located behind the desk in the [[Croft Manor (Rise of the Tomb Raider)|manor]]'s library; Lara had several run-ins with this kind of dinosaur, e.g. in [[Tomb Raider]], [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III]], and [[Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Anniversary]], and most recently in [[Lara Croft: Relic Run]] and [[Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris]].

* [[Egyptian Ankh]]
: An Ankh can be found in the basement of Croft Manor that looks a lot like it came from [[The Last Revelation]].

* [[William Blake]]
: A famous artist and author mentioned in the [[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider|first movie]].

* [[Elixir of Life]]
: Title of a side-scroller Tomb Raider game for [[Mobile Phones]].

* [[Sir Lancelot]]
: In [[Tomb Raider Legend]] Lara finds [[Lancelot's Shield]] and the other Knights of the Round Table.

* [[Sir Reginald]]
: The statue is missing its head which Lara took as a child in the [[Tomb Raider (Dark Horse Comics)|Reboot Comic]] [[Lost and Found]], Issue #9, centre pages.

* [[Croft Family Crest]]
: The [[Secrets]] in [[Croft Manor (TR7)|Croft Manor]] of [[Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend]] were similar in shape to the Croft Family Crest.

* [[Jade Dragon Statue]]
: A Relic that can be found in the vault; it looks like the one in the [[Temple of Xian]], a Tomb Raider II location; also, [[Stone Dragons]] were the secrets in that game.

* [[142]]
: One of the door codes that opens [[Lord Croft's Secret Vault]]; [[14 February]] is Lara's birthday.

* Ticking Clocks
: Throughout the manor there are quite a few clocks ticking away, which is a little reminiscent of the first movie where Lara wakes up to the ticking of a clock hidden under the stairs.

* Symbols in the [[Lord Croft's Secret Vault|Secret Vault]]
: When Lara turns on the blacklight, symbols appear all over the walls; they are reminiscent the Symbols found in [[The Angel of Darkness]].

* [[Golden Rose]]
: Another relic, this time located in the [[Family Crypt]]; the secrets in [[Tomb Raider Chronicles]] were roses.

* [[Twin Pistols]]
: Relic in the [[Lord Croft's Study|study]] after completing the game, a nod to Lara's classic weapons; also these seem to be the two weapons she acquired after [[Roth]]'s death.

* [[Atlas]]
: Another Relic in the study after completing the game; this is actually the artefact found in this game.

* [[Broken Katana]]
: Once again, a Relic located in the study after completing the game; this one seems like a relic from Yamatai.

 : This is the text that can be found in a [[Note from Winston]], one of the [[Relics]] in the [[Library]]. It can be considered a double Easter egg: William Blake was a famous artist and author mentioned in the [[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider|first movie]] - a vital clue was hidden in one of his works - while the Jaffa cakes were mentioned in one of the [[Dark Horse]] [[Comics]].
 * Tiger
 : In [[Lara's Childhood Drawing]] a tiger - probably a reference to the Tigers in [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III|III]], and [[Tomb Raider: Underworld|Underworld]] - can be seen laying on a rock that looks suspiciously like a giant Easter egg. Note the birds (chickens?) on the left. Combined with the mention of William Blake (see above) this brings his famous poem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyger The Tyger] to mind.
