The note makes Lara realize that in order to stop the storms she needs to destroy Himiko's body in the ritual chamber. She sets out to yet again save her friend Samantha Nishimura, and after fighting Mathias, Lara interrupts the transferring of Himiko's soul by hitting the decaying body of Himiko with a lit torch. Himiko's body starts to burn and, as her body is destroyed, the horrid screams of Himiko are heard.
After Himiko has been destroyed, the storms calm down and the remaining survivor's of the Endurance, Jonah Maiava, Joslin Reyes, Samantha Nishimura and Lara are able to leave Yamatai for good.
