The game follows Tal’Set, a Native American who is transported to the Lost Land while fighting Captain Tobias Bruckner (loosely based on George Custer) of the United States Army; apparently this occurs in the late 19th century, around the time of the Indian Wars. He is rescued by the seer Tarkeen that says he is the legendary Son of Stone, known to them as Turok.
The story then introduces a new villain, the Sleg, who are a lot like the dinosoids and Purr-Linn from the previous games. The Sleg themselves largely seem to have no greater objective than enslaving humans; eventually, however, their leader, the genocidal Lord Tyrannus, reveals his plan to destroy the human city of Galyana with an army led by a colossal beast called the Juggernaut, which resembles a Amphicoelias, but is much larger. He also allows Bruckner to join the Sleg army. When Tal’Set saves the River Village’s “Wise Father” from a Sleg base, he re-encounters Bruckner and a team of Sleg. Both him and the “Wise Father” are quickly recused by Djunn. Later, Tal’Set destroys the Suspended City that bridges the gap across a ravine that Lord Tyrannus’ forces are attempting to cross to reach Galyana. Following this, he engages and disables the Juggernaut.
At the very end of the game, Bruckner appears riding a Tyrannosaurus and serves as the game’s last (the first boss being a Styracosaurus) boss. Tal’Set defeats Bruckner, but refuses to kill him; Bruckner he then leaves him to be eaten by Compsognathus instead. He felt he didn’t deserve a warrior’s death.
The game ends with Tal’Set accepting his role as Son of Stone and becoming Turok. Lord Tyrannus is also seen at a Sleg castle, mourning his defeat.
