-->'''Lara''': Will you SHUT UP?!

* Shortly afterwards, when dying, Alex decides he's ''not'' going to be gunned down. He fires a bullet at a pipe on the wall... and half the endurance explodes into flames. The endurance ''is a very large tanker'', so it goes up pretty well...

--> '''Lara:''' That's right! Run, you bastards! [[RoaringRampageOfRescue I'M COMING FOR YOU ALL!]]

** This quote is even more awesome in context: [[spoiler: Lara has just fought her way through a town full of crazed Solarii, watched one of her close friends die, and finally managed to rescue Sam from the clutches of the Solarii. But then Lara is captured, beat to shit right in front of Sam, and her weapons taken from her, and manages to escape through the initiation caves of the Solarii; where they toss new recruits into a sulfur-filled cave with no food or water for days. Lara promptly breaks out of that, frees her friends, gets her weapons back, and starts to annihilate the palace of the Solarii by detonating the natural gas beneath the palace.]] At this point, the player is likely just as pissed off at the Solarii as Lara is, and the sight of the Solarii ''running'' from the one girl is so damn invigorating.

* In a meta example, this game itself has been the best selling in the franchise, with around 8.5 million units sold.

--> ''Mook:'' Oh, shit! She's still alive?
--> ''Lara:'' Yes. I'm still alive.

-->'''Lara''': All right, you bastards. Let's see what you've got!

--> '''Lara:''' That's right! Run, you bastards! ''I'M COMING FOR YOU ALL''!

* Near the end, Lara vs [[spoiler: a small army of undead samurai]]. Guess who wins.

* Lara climbing all the way up the Broadcast Tower in order to get her S.O.S. through, which takes an ''incredible'' amount of guts considering 1.) she had to go through a good number of Solarii to get there, and 2.) the tower in question is tall enough to be an acrophobe's worst nightmare. The pure cinematic visuals of this alone just friggin' ''make'' that scene. [[spoiler:It's just too bad it turned out to be a cruel HopeSpot, as Yamatai won't allow anyone to enter or leave it]].

** And the way she eventually takes him down by putting the climbing axe to good use is nothing less than awesome.

* Lara using the broken samurai sword [[spoiler: to impale the Sun God Himiko herself]] in order to save Sam.

* Lara using her torch [[spoiler: to impale the Sun God Himiko herself]] in order to save Sam.

* Compared to Lara at the beginning of the game, when she pleads with the scavengers to leave her alone or question why they're attacking her, to the confidence-filled taunts and BadassBoasts she sports after getting the fire arrows onward are one crowning moment after another, showing quite clearly that by the time she's daring them to try running from her, she's fresh out of fucks to give.

* Near the end, Lara vs [[spoiler: a small army of undead samurai ninjas]]. Guess who wins.

** That was actually [[spoiler: the sword she removed from the skeleton of the Stormguard General who committed Seppuku after Himiko's fall.]] Doesn't make it any less awesome though.

* Lara's confrontation with [[spoiler:Nikolai. At first she is forced to take cover whilst he fires a machine gun turret but then she ziplines over to him and kicks him in the face. He quickly gains the upper hand, throws her off the roof and begins shooting at her whilst shouting violent threats. But this all changes when Lara spots the grenade launcher, fixes it to her rifle and takes aim. Nikolai's gloating [[OhCrap turns to pure terror]] and he can only shout in horror before she fires]].

* Lara's entire trek through the final level of the game. [[spoiler:No matter what Himiko, the Solarii, ''and'' the Stormguard throw at her, it barely even slows her down as she smashes through them and climbs/leaps her way over gaping chasms during gale-force winds and bolts of lightning to reach her goal.]]

** Which later makes it a CMOA in itself when she - easily the most sceptical of the Endurance crew, tells Lara that she's not leaving them behind during the [[spoiler: trek up to the Sun Goddess' shrine in the finale]].

* Lara's DavidVersusGoliath fight against [[GiantMook Dmitri]] aboard the wreck of the Endurance. He must outweigh her by about 200 pounds, and she still eventually just yells at him to shut the hell up after she's had enough of his BossBanter.
