The research apparently involves a man known as Louis Bouchard, and Lara resolves to find and question him on Von Croy's final days. Von Croy's journal contains details of his last project research on a work of art known as the Obscura painting, apparently located in a medieval chamber beneath the Louvre.

Carvier reveals to Lara more details of Werner's work and adds that he had been fearful doing the job. Eventually, Lara makes it to Carvier's apartment, and informs her of Werner's death. Unsure of what has happened, and of her own guilt or innocence, Lara flees the apartment, and is pursued down the backstreets of Paris by French police. When Lara awakes, she discovers Werner dead, his blood is smeared both on her hands and the walls of the apartment, forming strange symbols. A flurry of activity occurs when an unknown force attacks them, resulting in Lara being knocked unconscious and Werner getting killed by an unidentified figure. The visit, however, is not pleasant Werner begs for her help, revealing that he was contracted by a mysterious client named Eckhardt to track medieval icons known as Obscura paintings, complaining that he is being stalked, and asks that she visit his friend Margot Carvier, a historian at the Louvre, but Lara admonishes Werner for abandoning her in Egypt at the conclusion of her last adventure which led to the imprisonment of the Egyptian God Set and gets up to leave.
