In “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” the hunt for deer symbolizes Lara Croft’s connection to her surroundings and the indigenous communities she encounters. The animal’s elusive nature represents the fragile balance between humans and the environment, as well as the cultural significance of hunting and sustenance in rural communities. By observing their rituals and learning from their wisdom, Lara not only gains a deeper understanding of the land but also forms lasting bonds with the people who call it home.
