How to Complete Challenge Tombs in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Tombs
In this guide, we'll show you how to complete all Challenge Tombs in the main campaign.
Peruvian jungle
Gate of the Underworld
The tomb is located right at the first base camp, after descending from the top of the hill where the plane crashed. Climb under the thicket of trees and roots to begin the challenge. Follow straight until you reach a cliff. You need to climb onto a tree branch, jump onto the second branch and grab onto the rocks with ice axes (E key by default).
Get down, disarm the trap and examine the Geographer's Backpack. Climb to a hill, from here you can cross to the other side along the tree branches. At the end of the path, go down the rope, swing and jump so as not to fall into the abyss. Look around the camp. Go to the right extreme rock and lift the camera up, you will see a place where you can grab hold of an ice ax. Get over to the other side.
On the right there will be a passage between the walls that leads to a small hall. In the room itself, you can climb up the ledge on the right. There are two paths here: the wooden bridge on the right leads to the exit from the Tomb, and on the left into the Tomb itself.
Go down the wall, or run and jump to the opposite side from the lower level. Once you climb a tree, jump and throw your ice ax to grab a branch. On the left there is a cave with resources and gold. Walk along the fallen tree and you will find yourself at a puzzle.
It's simple: first turn the mechanism counterclockwise so that you can place the cable on the other side. Having crossed, pull the lever of the second mechanism - the crane platform is activated. Go back and rotate the first mechanism to its original position, then connect it and the platform with a rope.
Again, go to the second lever and activate it. For a few seconds, the rope will hold the platform and you will have time to jump onto it. After the fun ride on the platform, go down, examine the mural and jump onto the rock on the right.
Run up and grab the rock with the ice ax. Stones will begin to fall from above, first from the right side, then from the left. As soon as the first stone collapses, immediately jump and climb up. Examine the mural and get out.
Judge's Look
To get into the Tomb, break the obstacle. Follow straight, overcome the cliff using an ice ax throw and jump into the water. The next obstacle will be a statue that blocks the path. In the same room, study the Fresco, climb onto the hill on the right and jump onto the counterweight (a kind of training). Collect resources and continue across the wooden bridge. Swim underwater and follow forward. Examine the fresco and go down to the landing.
This is the only mystery in the Tomb. Using counterweights you need to raise the ladder. Here is the sequence of actions:
- move the cart on the left to raise the counterweight and lower the statue;
- this cart needs to be moved close to the stairs;
- go up the stairs and shoot the bow at the statue on the left to secure the rope;
- the distant trolley must be placed in place of the previous one in order to grasp the raised counterweight;
- climb up the left wall and lower the raised counterweight.
Using the same principle, we raise the second statue on the right. Climb the stairs, examine the Fresco, and leave the Tomb.
Kuvak-Yaku
Howling Caves
You can find this Tomb yourself, or talk to one of local residents, which will leave a mark on the map. To get there, get to the place on the map and jump off the cliff into the water. By the way, you can collect resources and gold underwater.
Go forward. At the end of the cave there will be a steep descent, after which you need to have time to jump and grab onto the rock with ice axes. Go down the rope, swing and jump onto the small platform. Grab the ledge in the wall and go even lower. Approach the small hole in the wall for Lara to crawl through. After the next descent, you will have a fight with several fox-like animals. After the battle, examine the fresco and approach the cliff with burning oil. Using a bow, build a rope hole.
Go upstairs. There is a cache in the cave on the left, and the other path leads to the Tomb. A puzzle awaits you here. There are three levers in the hall with which you can open the shutters. This is needed to extinguish the burning oil on the stone bridge and remove obstacles.
Activate the first mechanism and cling to the pendulum. Wait until the wind gets strong enough to jump to the opposite side. Using the second mechanism, raise the shutters. They will open the way to a small hill on the other side. Run there, time the maximum air flow and shoot the bow at the top of the pendulum. He will collide with an obstacle and open a passage.
Return to the second mechanism to close the shutters, as a strong wind will literally “blow” Lara off the bridge. Run to the last mechanism, but there is no point in opening it - the third pendulum prevents activation. Go up the right side (slight climb), climb the wall and jump onto the stuck pendulum. You need to attach a rope to it and open the shutters of the second mechanism. Now you can put out the fire by opening the second shutters. Examine the mural and get out.
Secret City
Temple of the Sun
The entrance to the Tomb is underwater in the southern part of the city. In one of the houses you will find a small pool that opens a passage to the cave.
Explore the cave and climb to the higher ground. One of the walls can be broken - do this and you will open the entrance to the Tomb. Overcome obstacles on the rocks to get to the Temple. Collect resources, artifacts and examine the mural in front of the puzzle room.
There are four mirrors in the hall: first mirror located at the entrance ( southeast); second in the southwest; third in the northeast; fourth in the northwest. Try not to fall into the water, as this will lead to the death of the protagonist!
Here is the order of movement of the mirrors:
- turn the first mirror onto the column on the left;
- Having moved to the second mirror, turn it so that the beam falls on the nearest column to the third mirror;
- return to the first lever and direct the beam to the near column between the first and third mirrors;
- turn the mechanism of the first mirror to the right to move to the third;
- turn the third lever counterclockwise onto the adjacent column;
- return to the first mechanism and activate the column to the second mirror;
- Having moved to the second lever, turn it onto the same column (crystal from below);
- direct the beam of the first mechanism to the column near the fourth mirror;
- get to the last mirror and move the beam counterclockwise to the near, central column.
Now you can study the Fresco and get out. A passage will open between the second and fourth mirrors (you need to climb up near the far wall on the right).
Ancient Aqueduct
This tomb is located in the Upper City. After the cutscene in the Temple, go to the main quest marker. At the bridge, turn left and go down the cliff. Story mission leads to the right, but we need to go into the cave on the left. Come in, dive under the water and swim forward.
There is nothing valuable underwater except air pockets and plants. Get out of the water and climb up the rock using ice axes. Examine the artifact on the right and continue moving.
Once in next part caves, jump to the ledge on the right and collect some jade ingots. There is also nothing valuable under the water here, climb up the ledge and examine the Fresco. Go forward, there is a base camp on the left in case you need to change or upgrade your weapons. Jump into the water. On one of the underwater walls you can collect gold bars and unearth hidden resources. In the next room you will find the Tomb puzzle.
Activate the mechanism - the pool will fill with water and the raft will rise. Go down and activate the lever underwater to open the airlock and drain the pool. Move the raft closer to the gate and connect the two objects with a rope.
Return to the mechanism and activate it, the locked passage will open. Swim to the next room, find a lever identical to the previous one and get rid of the water. Use the bow to clear the passage to the previous room. Several creatures will attack Lara - get rid of them, move the raft to the second room and fill the pool with water using the first mechanism.
The raft should be closer to the left wall (if you look at the screenshot above). Go upstairs, pick up the cartridges and follow to the third hall. All along the way you will meet aggressive locals.
This final stage. Pull the lever at the beginning of the room to increase the water level. There is a water wheel on the right side of the hall. Stand next to the raft and shoot the bow at the wheel mount. It will pull the raft and then you can get to the anchorage.
There is a platform hanging in the middle of the hall that can be connected to a wheel (shoot the hook next to the platform). Immediately after this, Lara will be attacked, deal with them and cut the rope. The fact is that while you are dealing with the creatures, the raft will probably float away from the central column, which you need to have time to climb before the rope breaks.
There is no difficulty here: as soon as the raft starts moving, shoot the hook and jump into the water. Climb onto the column, move from it to the platform, and then into the room with the Fresco.
To the right of the Fresco there is a rise, at the end of which there is a rope hooked - this is the path to the exit. If you return to the cave using the same path, you will have to do the above steps again.
Path of Battle
The Last Tomb of Paititi is located in the western part of the city, near the entrance to the Crypt. Get to the lake, there is underwater narrow passage. Swim along the flooded channel. Once out, you will find Fresco and the base camp, immediately beyond which is the further path. Activate the mechanism to open the gate. Climb the ledge on the left, go through the obstacles and jump onto the rock. Climb down the rope and swing.
Examine the Fresco and activate another lever, which will open the next gate. When you go down, the column will activate trap arms and begin to rotate counterclockwise. On the platform, the column has two passages - on the right and on the left. Each of them leads to a mechanism that will temporarily allow traps to be folded, but will activate stationary barriers.
It doesn't matter which side you start from. Get to the mechanism and activate it. Without wasting time, overcome all obstacles and grab the lever to lower the first part of the column. Using the same principle, we close the second part.
When the column stops rotating, climb to the very top and examine the Fresco.
Cenote
San Cordova
There is only one Test Tomb in this location, but it is very impressive. A dilapidated Spanish Galleon, left right in the heart of the cave. On the screenshot above you can see its location on the map.
The road to the Trial passes through flooded cave channels. At some point you will reach a fork where you need to turn right (the road to the left leads to the exit). There are moray eels underwater, be careful and replenish Lara's oxygen in air pockets in time.
Once out of the water, you will find the base camp. The entrance to the Tomb is blocked by a wooden barricade. Move the cart with stones to the left and push the cannon forward.
Go around the ship along the shore on the right and push the raft into the water. From it you can climb to the deck of the Galleon. There is a lever on the deck - turn the sail so that the cannon hangs over the cabin.
There is an underwater passage to another part of the ship. Having climbed onto the deck, Lara will find that the sail is tied with a rope to the extreme mast, and it is not possible to move it.
To the left of the sailing mast there is a passage to the rock. Along this path, climb up to the outer mast and unhook the cable. To return to the deck, climb the rope ladder to a higher level and jump onto the rock.
Turn the sail using the lever on the deck and climb onto the second mast. Release the tied cannon, it will fall into the cabin and open the passage.
The entrance to the Tomb is located underwater. Be careful, there are some moray eels and piranhas here. Further testing is based on secrecy mainly from these predatory fish. Once you reach the first chamber in the cave, examine the fresco and collect valuable resources. There is a lever on the hill on the right side. Activate it with your bow, the water will go away and you can continue on your way.
Go forward and you will be faced with the final test. Release several rafts tied with rope to hooks at the bottom of the pool. Due to the constantly moving piranhas, this is not easy. Time it right and dive right after the piranhas change their habitat.
This Tomb is the last in the main storyline. If you have completed the exploration of all previous tombs, then after completing it the user will receive the “Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider” achievement. You can start the Trial not far from the previous tomb (the location of the hunt for the Royal Leopard).
Immediately upon entering you will find an artifact, a base camp, and a traveling merchant. When you're ready, break the barrier at the end of the passage and go down into the cave. A little acrobatics and you're almost there. You will see a new element for solving puzzles - flammable gas. If it interferes with the passage, or vice versa, you can use it to move the platform - build fire arrows and shoot at the place where it accumulates.
As soon as you cross the first platform (which you need to push towards you), you will be attacked by locals. Now, after each key action, expect an attack from several aggressive creatures! There is nothing to worry about: ammo and resources for creating fire arrows are scattered around almost every corner. Go lower and use the same principle to swing the second platform. As soon as she arrives, jump on her and shoot again.
Examine the mural and untie the next platform. These platforms are connected, and between them there is a wooden object that you can grab onto with an ice ax and get to the other side.
The final riddle awaits you. The first step is to free the platform, and opposite side open access for flammable gas to escape.
Now jump onto the nearest platform to get to the second one. Blow up the gas and return to the ledge. Deal with the remaining opponents, study the Fresco and get out.

Tips for the game:
1. Not all places and secrets can be explored on your first visit to a location. In some cases, you will need new equipment, which can be obtained further in the story. You can return to a previously explored area using the central “Quick Transit” button in camps that are marked on the map with a tent icon.
2. Collect spare parts according to the map. Some boxes contain modifications to improve weapons.
3. When you first visit a location, you can earn experience by hunting animals. At a certain point, we will receive a message that further hunting in this region will bring less benefit. Hunting large animals brings more experience points.
4. Treasure maps are found in treasure chests in tombs. They indicate all the places for collecting collections.
5. First, you should study the “Survival” branch, in particular the skills associated with accelerating the acquisition of experience. In the future, you will have the opportunity to improve all other skills.
Passage of locations
The main character is a young girl, archaeologist Lara Croft, who went as part of an expedition to one of the tiny islands southern Japan in search of the remains of an ancient civilization. But things didn't go according to plan when the expedition reached a section of ocean known locally as the "Dragon's Triangle". The ship "Endurance" was caught in a severe storm and crashed, and we only miraculously managed to survive. On the shore we see other survivors, but an unknown person will stun us and drag us into a cave.
1. Scavengers' Den
Tomb Raider (2013)
Willpower: Find a way out
We come to our senses. We are tied and hung upside down in a cave with altars. To get out, we swing from side to side. So we push the nearby hanging bag onto the candles, and it will light up. The fire will spread to the adjacent beam, now we swing in the other direction to hit this beam and set fire to our ropes. Of course, this will end in a fall, and onto a sharp metal rod, which must be removed by quickly pressing the “E” button.
We go through the cave. On the way we will find a Torch, with its help we burn the wooden barrier on the way. Our torch was extinguished by the water, so we set it on fire again at the lamp. We can examine all the active objects in the room (Q key). We climb onto the wooden platform on the left, set fire to the fabric, and it will cause the barrel on the other side to explode. We crawl into the hole. A savage attacks us, we fight him off by pressing left and right.
Puzzle: burning boxes. It is necessary to blow up barrels and mines, it is dangerous to do this close, and if you set fire to the boxes from afar, they will be extinguished by a waterfall. Solution:
1. Set fire to the pole with the rope to release the hanging cage.
2. We climb into the cage, it will lower, and the boxes at the top will fall out of the bucket into the cage on a hill.
3. Set fire to the boxes inside the right cell.
4. Then push the right cell. Burning garbage will roll past the waterfall and set fire to the barrels.
The cave will begin to collapse from the explosion, we quickly run through the tunnel towards the light. We jump over chasms along the road. As soon as the scavenger grabs us again, we resist (left, right) and then kick him (press the "F" button in time). Then we climb the slope, dodging stones flying from above. We got to the surface.
Welcome to Tomb Raider.
2. Coastal forest
Signs of Life: Find traces of other survivors
We walk along the shore and walk along a log. We will see a stuck wartime plane, we climb along it to the other side (places that you can cling to are highlighted in white). We climb onto a high ledge, pushing off from the wall (all places for such a double jump are also highlighted in white). Let's enter the empty camp where the survivors are staying, here in the backpack we will find video camera, matches, walkie-talkie.
Signs of life: Find shelter from the storm
The storm is not over yet, so we hide from the rain in a dry place under a rock, there we set up our first camp of our own. Lara will light a fire and watch a video about the beginning of the expedition.
Woman in wildlife: Find food
In search of food, we descend into a forest clearing. We'll see a skeleton hanging on a tree with a bow behind its back. We climb onto the roof of the bunker, jump along the hills, and from a tree branch we can reach the skeleton. This is how we get Homemade Bow.
Having received a weapon, we can start hunting local wildlife. Our prey is birds, rabbits and deer. Using the “Survival Instinct” (Q key) you can highlight objects of interest to us. Having shot the game, you need to go up and pick up the meat. You can also collect additional arrows and berries on the bushes in the clearing.
After a successful hunt, we return to the camp, where Rott will contact us. He will report that he is gathering survivors in the depths of the island, and we need to move towards him. Now the door to the bunker will be open, before entering you can do some additional hunting or look for artifacts.

Secret. In a forest clearing, like in any other location, there are many different types of secrets: documents, artifacts, caches. You can look for them right now, but it’s much easier to first improve your “survival” skills, and then we’ll see all the secrets on the map. Because of this, ordinary secrets are not described in the walkthrough; you can easily find them yourself. |
|
Auror Challenge(Ghost Hunter) In addition to the usual secrets, the game also contains challenges. This is the collection or destruction of unusual objects. Challenge item locations are not shown on the map, even with all skills. We are looking for them ourselves. In the coastal forest you need to find and shoot 10 hanging pagan totems in the form of the sun: 1. Even before the first camp, on the side of the path. 2. In the southwestern part of the clearing, near the stone. 3. To the south in front of a hill with several steps. 4. In the northeastern dead end, under the bridge tree. 5. On the tree in front of the bunker. |
Find Rott: Find your way out of the forest
We go down into the catacombs of the bunker. We come across a locked door. To open it, we burn through the rubble nearby and find a Pickaxe. With its help, we open the door (press E many times) and get out in the northern part of the forest.
We will find our Japanese friend Samantha and stranger Matios. Sammy will start talking about the empress, whose descendant she is, and at this time we will fall asleep by the fire.
Waking up from thunder, we find the camp empty. We run out in search of newly discovered friends, and immediately fall into a trap. This is also overshadowed by the fact that wolves scented us. We prepare the bow, wait until the predators jump out of the bushes, and then shoot at them. As soon as 3 wolves fall to the ground defeated, the Endurance crew will find us. After a short conversation, the team is divided into two groups, one goes to look for Samantha and her friend, and Wilson and I go to meet Rott.
Find Rott: Catch up with Whitman
Available to us new area for hunting and exploring. But you should be careful, because now wolves will hunt us. In battle with them, you need to dodge at the moment of attack by pressing “Shift”, after which we immediately press again to make a roll. Also, now with the help of a pickaxe we can open wooden boxes with spare parts, they are needed to improve weapons. We collect 50 spare parts, go to the fire, improve the pickaxe so that it can be rotated by mechanisms.
|
Auror Challenge(Ghost Hunter) 6. The totem hangs under the central bridge. 7. Just north of the central bridge. 8. Near the eastern broken bridge. 9. On the western hill, near the wall. 10. To the right of the gate with mechanisms. |
|
Loadable Tomb – Traveler's Tomb Located in the Coastal Forest location in the southern dead end. In the tomb we find a plane stuck in the trees. The treasure is on the top floor of the temple. To get there, we perform the following sequence of actions: 1. Set fire to the left support with a white cloth. To do this, we shoot at the hanging lamp. 2. On the right we shoot at the lamp above the boards where the skeleton hangs. We push the platform towards the plane. 3. We climb to the hill ahead. We take a portable flashlight, throw it into the hanging part of the plane from the bottom side, and the boxes inside will burn. 4. We go up through the empty body of the plane, and climb along the tail to the roof of the building. We will receive 250 experience, 1 skill point, a map of secrets throughout the location. |
3. Mountain Temple
Lara Croft Tomb Raider (2013). Walkthrough
Meeting in the mountains: Do everything so that your escape is not noticed
After we open the doors of the temple, we fall into the trap of bandits. While they catch the rest of the survivors, we run away with our hands tied. They search for us with flashlights, we hide from enemies behind shelters.
We sit down in front of a small stone wall. As soon as the first enemy passes, we rise higher. There are two more bandits on the way, but as soon as they turn away, we can run past them to the left. Then we go to the right into a wooden building. We wait for the bandit to come down from the mountain, then we go up the slope. We enter the next building.
One of the main sectarians will still find us and try to kill us. We resist (press F, F, shoot from a pistol, dodge left and right, press E many times, and make another shot). So we will kill the first person, and we will get a weapon. An old pistol, but for now without cartridges.
Meeting in the Mountains: Fight off the inhabitants of the island
At the next collision we will be noticed, but we will find a clip and will be able to shoot back. After the shootout we continue to move higher. Along the way, we will be taught silent killing from the back (key "F", then "E" for strangulation). Silent kills give more experience.
Meeting in the Mountains: Climb Even Higher
We climb up the rock along the long stairs and find ourselves in an abandoned temple. Near the waterfall we can jump into the river and there we will find a passage into a cave; inside there is a map of the secrets of this location. There are several more bandits here, you can eliminate them silently. At the end we go east, climb up a narrow crevice between the rocks.
4. Mountain village
To the rescue: Find Rott's backpack
At the top we will meet the wounded Rott, the leader of the expedition, his leg was bitten by wolves. He manages to report that his backpack was stolen by wolves, and loses consciousness. The backpack contains a first aid kit needed by a wounded commander and a walkie-talkie with which you can call for help.
Moving away from the camp, we see a wolf howling on the slope, and we head there. The village is a central location, we will return here more than once, so we don’t pay attention to the fact that many paths are still closed to us, we just make our way up the plane to the cave in the west.
Having entered a dark cave, we carefully reach a huge pile of bones and pick up the backpack. On the way out, a huge wolf will attack us. We resist (left and right, strike with the F key, then press E).
To the rescue: Climb to the source of the waterfall
We go down to Rott and treat his wound. When he comes to his senses, he reports that he cannot go. We alone must climb higher and send out a distress signal. To do this, Rott will give us his Ice ax. Now with its help we can climb uneven walls. This is exactly what you need to get to the very top of the village to the pass to the road to the base.
|
Tomb of the Scorned Located in the “Mountain Village” location, at medium altitude, near two waterfalls. A tomb built in honor of the priestesses of Pimiko. 1. We jump onto the platform on the left and immediately to the other side, light the torch. 2. Set fire to three bags on the hanging platform on the left. 3. We push the box standing on the ledge on the right. 4. The platform will rise higher, now we can jump along it to the uneven wall. Using an ice ax we climb to the top. |
|
Illumination Challenge(Illumination) You need to light 10 lamps in the hands of the statues. At first it is impossible to do this completely without a lighter. We will do it on next visits. |
|
Nest Destroyer Challenge(Egg Poacher) You need 5 bird nests with golden eggs. Usually found on the roofs of houses and on high cliffs: 1. House at the very bottom of the village. 2. Big house at the plane. 3. Eastern peak, on the side of the cliff. 4. In the center on an island between the waterfalls. 5. Big house, southeast. |
5. Road to base
Tomb Raider. Game of 2013
Help: Find a bunker
We stop by the fire, watch the video camera, learn more about the other surviving people. We go to the radio point where we need to send a distress signal. It is located in an abandoned base, guarded by local bandits. At the entrance to the base there will be spotlights that can be bypassed if you act quietly and carefully.
6. Mountain base
Help: Find the radio remote control
In the bunker we will reach a locked door. In order to bypass it, we need to close the valve that will be on the left. After this, gas will stop flowing in the passage below, and we will be able to penetrate into the next room. There will be bandits talking in the corridor, who can be expertly blown up by shooting at a barrel.
Puzzle: Room behind glass
1. Climb into the hole at the top;
2. Open the gas with the valve;
3. We climb back out and throw a lamp into the window. The gas will explode, killing the bandit and destroying the glass. We take the Old machine gun from the deceased enemy.
In the next room we will be ambushed. At the moment of slowing down time we can shoot most enemies from a machine gun. We destroy the spotlights so that enemies can be seen better. We are in no hurry to move forward, as reinforcements are already running around the corner. After the victory, we can climb to the 2nd floor, along the right wall, to set up a camp there.
Let's go to the radio room. As expected, it was destroyed. But we learn from Rott that the signal can be sent from the engineering console, which is located on the antenna itself. We climb into the passage with hot pipes.
7. Base area
How to beat Tomb Raider
To the rescue: Climb the radio tower
Outside snowing. On the bridge a sectarian will try to grab us, we quickly kick him away. Next you will have to participate in several shootouts. In the latter we meet a big guy who uses a shield. We need to dodge his blow (press shift and to the side), and then shoot at him while he is still open.
After the victory, we go to the tower and begin to climb to the very top. Having reached the remote control, we connect the walkie-talkie and begin to rotate two toggle switches to remove interference on the air and find the international SOS wave. As soon as communication is established, Lara will call rescuers, but they cannot land until a signal is given from the ground.
To help: Light the signal fire
We go down on the cable to the gas station. We find Flint in the warehouse, now we can get fire anywhere. We pour gasoline from the tank and set it on fire.
The explosion will attract the attention of the plane, but as soon as it lands, a thunder cloud will fly in and shoot down the plane with lightning. The wreckage of the plane is falling to the ground and is about to overtake us. We begin to slide down the slope, dodging fences and stakes. So we will quickly slide towards the village.
8. Village on the rocks
Slippery Slope: Find the way to the mountain village
The location consists of many flimsy buildings built over an abyss. We see how one of the pilots, parachuting down, gets stuck in the branches of a tree near one of the buildings. We move towards it through the buildings. This must be done quickly, as buildings begin to collapse.
Having reached the pilot, we see him desperately trying to get out, but a bandit with a shield overtakes him and kills him. We take revenge for the pilot.
Slippery Slope: Join Rott
In the village we will fall into a trap, they will hang us upside down. In this position, we shoot back from three enemies, and then shoot at the block that is holding us.
We take the Rope from this trap, and now we will be able to release “Comets” - arrows with ropes. With their help, you can shoot at places that are tied with ropes in order to pull them towards you and bring them down or move them.
If we shoot the Comet near the white pillar, Lara will make a rope with which you can get to the other side.
9. Mountain village. 2nd visit
Tomb Raider (2013). How to get through the tomb
Guilt: Reach the Signal Light
We return to the wounded Rott. Lara will begin to blame herself for the failure of the expedition and the plane crash. To make amends, we go to rescue the co-pilot, he landed a little to the east.
Now, thanks to the ropes, the high-mountainous part of the location is available to us. We climb higher and higher, laying new rope paths. At the top of the eastern rock we will find the entrance to the tomb.
|
Tomb. Ascension Hall It is located in a huge gorge, which is why the strongest wind blows here. Entering the temple, we see two levers. One raises the platform and the other closes the shutters on the windows. Our task: 1. We close the shutters on the left, run up to the other lever; 2. We are not doing anything yet. We wait until the first shutter swings open from the wind, only then do we begin to turn the mechanism; 3. Using the left wooden structure, we quickly climb onto the raised platform, it will slowly go down; 4. When all three shutters are knocked out, the wind will pick us up and swing us towards the right wall, at this moment we jump and cling to the cornice. We will receive 1250 experience, 1 skill point, and the “Mountain Village” secret map. |
Having passed through the gorge, we find ourselves at the “Pass” location, which leads to the mountain monastery. The pilot lies wounded at the foot of the temple, we try to run up to him. But all this turns out to be a trap for Matios. The bandits stun us and take us prisoner.
10. Mountain Monastery
New troubles: Find a way out
We wake up in limbo, among a heap of corpses. We swing left and right, after which we break the ropes. We climb into the gap and do it just in time, as one of the Japanese Oni demons enters our room. We go through the ruins, and in the hands of one of the corpses we will find an Old Shotgun. It can be used to destroy wooden barricades.
Let's enter the Empress's tomb, where her mummified body lies. From the drawings we learn that there is a certain ascension ritual in which a woman is given over to fire. This is a way of transferring power. They notice us, there is a fight with a group of bandits.
You can take a break at the camp. The further path lies along the wall of the temple above the abyss. The wooden structures are collapsing and we must quickly reach the entrance to the sanctuary.
Puzzle: bell
Inside, after the fight with the bandits, we must make a passage in the floor, for this we use the bell:
1. Open one of the two shutters, use the comet to swing the weight and break one of the bell supports.
2. Close one shutter, open another. We swing the load again, now it will be blown in the other direction, and it will break the second support.
3. Having defeated a group of opponents, open both shutters on the windows, swing the load, it will hit the bell directly. The whole structure will collapse down, we jump down there after.
The building will begin to collapse, and we need to quickly get out of there. Dodging obstacles, we run along the corridor. At the end we slide down the slope, along the way we need to break through fences with shotgun shots. We fall into the water.
A friend in need: Find the way to the brotherhood base
As soon as we get to the small island, Samantha will contact us. She is in captivity at the brotherhood base, where they want to perform a “Fire Rite” on her. We need to save her.
We returned to the central location "Mountain Village", but now from the eastern side. We move towards the barricaded chapel. In it, Samantha will contact us again, but the conversation will be short, as she will be discovered. We slide down the rope and come across another group of bandits. Having defeated them, we have to cross the river. You will have to wade.
11. Mountainside
Tomb Raider (2013). Wiki
A friend in need: Go down to the brotherhood base
It will not be possible to get to the other side; we will be washed away by the current. While going down the river, we dodge obstacles and, where necessary, shoot barricades with a shotgun.
At the end there is a waterfall on which an old bomber is stuck. If we fall inside onto the windshield, it will begin to crack under us. We manage to grab the parachute, and the glass breaks down. At the moment of the fall, we open the parachute, but it does not work, after which we pull it again to open the spare one. The second time we succeed, the wind picks us up and begins to carry us between the trees. You need to dodge large branches on the way. As we approach the slums, a hard landing awaits us.
12. Slums
Open wounds: Find a first aid kit
Lara is wounded, jumping and rolling brings her hellish pain. We need to find a first aid kit. Entering the slums, we see a crashed helicopter and begin to move towards it. To do this, we go through the sewer drain under the house, where we hear bandits torturing one of the survivors.
When we get out, we will have a meeting with these bandits. You need to shoot accurately, since Lara's health is low now. We make our way forward to the helicopter, simultaneously getting rid of oncoming enemies.
Having reached the helicopter, we shoot the “comet” at the mount and open the cargo compartment. There is a first aid kit on the plane, but it does not contain the medicines we need. We search the pilot's corpse and find the Lighter. We use it to cauterize wounds. Now we can use Fire Arrows.
Road to Hell: Reach the gate under the bridge
We contact Rott, inform him that we are moving towards the fortified palace. At this moment we are discovered by a large detachment of bandits. We need to shoot back while standing on the balcony and using new types of arrows. We shoot at puddles of gasoline, red barrels and fortifications with fabric. All this can ignite and cause trouble for opponents. After the victory, you can rest in a camp nearby, and then start exploring this entire location.
|
Test "Silence"(Silencer) You need to destroy 4 mechanical alarms with handles: 1. Near the western puddle. |
|
Rest in Peace Challenge(Laid to Rest) It is necessary to destroy the stuffed animals with white cloth. First, we shoot at them with fiery arrows, then we drop the pillar, hooking it with a rope arrow. 1. North of the helicopter. 2. A little south of the helicopter. 3. Near the entrance to the “Well of Tears” tomb. 4. Near the western puddle. 5. Behind the east central building. |
|
Tomb. Well of Tears Before entering the tomb, they trap us by grabbing our legs with a rope. We need to shoot back while hanging upside down. At the end of the battle, we shoot at the rope fastening to free ourselves. Then we hook the rope on the floor with a “comet” to open the tunnel down. In the well we will find a high hanging platform and 4 canisters. Solution: 1. Take the canisters and throw them onto the platform, which will gradually begin to descend from their weight; 2. As soon as it is below, we go onto the platform and throw out the canisters from it; 3. We quickly climb onto the neighboring building and jump onto the rising platform. Before it sinks again under our weight, we jump onto the ledge, behind which the treasure will be waiting for us. |
Road to Hell: Find your way through the gates
Having reached the gates of the slums, we will be ambushed. The fight will be long. After this, we need to open the gate: we burn the fabric on the gate, then turn the mechanism.
Road to Hell: Get into the Palace
Having opened the gate, we find ourselves in the second part of the slums. We go down and pass through a small lake, after which we see sectarians running after Grim. Let's run after.
On the approach to the tower, sectarians will find us and cut off the path to the rest of the survivors by blowing up the stairs. Sitting in cover, we shoot back. As soon as the assault stops, we climb up the cable. We need to get to the cable car leading to Grim.
Having gone upstairs, we walk along the structures to the station. We will meet sectarians. We use a bow and a machine gun. Near the station there will be an entrance to the tomb.
|
Test "Silence"(Silencer) 2. Alarm on the building south of the lake. 3. On the building north of the lake. 4. On the northern building with hanging cabins. 5. Behind the building to the northeast of the lake. |

Tomb. Courtroom There are several balconies with canisters around. In the center of the floor there is a metal sheet swinging from side to side. 1. We collect 4 canisters, destroying the balconies under them. We throw extra canisters on the left, and the platforms will not support the load. On the right we swing the load on the rope; 2. Place the canisters on a swinging sheet, closer to the exit; 3. Having created a counterweight, we can run up the inclined sheet and jump from it to the cliff. With the help of an icebreaker we will climb up. |
Liberator: Find the way to Grim
Having climbed into the station, we sit in any booth. We will take the cable car to the next platform. Upon arrival, we will see that old Grim has been captured by enemies, and we are forced to drop our weapons. But Grim refuses to give up and starts a fight, resulting in both the bandits and him falling off the cliff. There is no time to mourn him, since we are again besieged by bandits.
After the victory, the survivors will try to grab us, but Rott will intervene in time with sniper rifle. Now, under his cover, we need to get to the entrance to the brotherhood’s palace.
We do not abandon our own: Find the entrance to the citadel of the brotherhood
We climb the structures. Having reached the bridge, we decide to crawl under it. We move until the shooting starts. During the shootout, we listen to Rott’s commands on the radio, he will tell you when we can move on. The bridge will begin to collapse, we quickly jump along the beams, and as a result we will reach the entrance to the cave.
13. Cave entrance
Tomb Raider (2013). Walkthrough
We don’t abandon our own: Free the prisoners from the Endurance
In the cave we pass to the hall in which a crowd of sectarians is already conducting the ritual of sacrificing Samantha. We are trying to prevent this, but the enemies have numerical superiority, we are quickly stunned and disarmed. They try to burn Samantha, but the wind saves her. We are taken to prison. On the way, we break out and jump from the bridge into the lake with the blood of the victims, and go ashore.
14. Caves
Having lost all the weapons, we were able to get the bow back. With its help, you can pass through a stream of gas; to do this, you need to shoot a burning arrow. After the explosion, the road will be clear for some time.
In the caves we find ourselves in a section where the sectarians keep prisoners. The prisoners have already gone crazy and are eating all the new arrivals. It is worth remembering that all our weapons were taken away and now we have few arrows. But here we will encounter only a few opponents who can be dealt with with the help of an ice ax or a Comet. To get out, you need to break the gas hydrant and blow up the gas. The explosion will knock out the grate.
Near the camp there is a building with gratings on top; you can climb there along the boards of the side wall; at the top there is a map of the location.
Along the way you will come across sectarians, whom you can get rid of silently. We use arrows to distract attention, and gas to get rid of groups of enemies, especially in the place where they pray to the totem.
At the end of the “comet” path, we turn the pole with the rope so that the cage is closer to the gas. We explode the gas with a fiery arrow, the cage will fly off and break through the doors.
Puzzle: Rescue of colleagues
In the last cave we will find members of the Endurance team, they are locked in a suspended plane. As soon as we get rid of the guards, we will need to get them out of there.
1. We break the valve under the cage, shoot fire arrows into the gas.
2. So we freed the platform, climb onto it, and from there onto the cage with prisoners.
3. It is necessary to blow up two gas sources in series. First we shoot at the near gas, then immediately at the far gas. The suspended cage will be carried to the side by the explosions, and it will knock down a large counterweight projectile. Let's fly higher together with the plane's body.
4. We climb onto the upper platform and break 2 more valves. Here they need to be detonated simultaneously with one shot. To do this, stand in the corner on the right so that both gas sources are on the same line, and shoot. The survivors are saved, and we get out along the platforms.
15. Fortress of Brotherhood
Tomb Raider (2013). Walkthrough site
Into the Heat: Find Sammy
Having got out of the caves, we will find ourselves in the cult fortress. A fire started here from explosions in the caves. We make our way through collapsing buildings, shooting sectarians along the way. In one of the rooms we will have time to grab records of the ceremony.
Having gone through all this, we will meet the chief archaeologist Whitman, who is freely walking around the enemy palace. We have no time to talk to him, and we go into the throne room where Samantha is being kept.
Into the Heat: Survive the Ambush
By killing the guard Dmitry, we will get all our weapons back. Immediately after this, groups of enemies will begin to attack us. We hide behind the columns. At the end of the battle, armored sectarians will come towards us. They can be killed by destroying the armor on their body.
Into the Hell: Escape from the Hell
Samantha left dangerous place, let's go after her. As soon as we get outside, Nikolai will see us and open fire from a stationary machine gun. Running from cover to cover, we approach it.
At the end we climb onto the balcony and descend on a cable directly to the enemy. Nikolai will throw us down and start firing at us with a pistol. Let's pick up the fallen one on the floor underbarrel grenade launcher, shoot from it, and the enemy will die. After the victory, we mount the Grenade Launcher on our machine gun. With its help, we will be able to blow up metal barricades, and shootouts with enemies will become much easier.
Behind the next camp we approach the wall of the fortress. As soon as another machine gun notices us, we run from cover to cover. We get to the closed balcony on the right, from there we shoot with a grenade launcher behind the enemy fortifications, and the machine gunner will be killed.
16. Fortress tower
Get to the helicopter: Walk across the bridges
After talking with Sammy, we climb the wall and go down the cable to the bridge. Matthias will start firing cannons to destroy the bridges and prevent us from reaching the rescue helicopter. Let's run forward. The bridge will begin to collapse. A sectarian will grab us, we throw him away with an ice ax. We continue to run and dodge explosions.
Once in the tower, you need to climb higher. We climb the beams and outer walls. At the very top we run up and jump into the helicopter.

Solitude: Escape the Forest through the Wolf's Lair
We reach a cave in which sectarians breed wolves. Having climbed onto the platform, we use the “comet” on the suspended deer, twice, so we will turn the pillar around and be able to jump onto the pole and onto the next wall.
Leaving the cave, we find ourselves in the upper level of the slums. We move along the cables to the large cable car, which leads to the shore. We climb into any cabin and go down.
18. Cable car
Accelerated Descent: Reach the Survivor Camp
Our platform will stop before reaching the end. We use the “comet” to move to the nearest support. From there we move onto a whaling ship suspended over the abyss.
Here we have to have a hot battle, at the end of which a machine gun will start firing at us. Dodging shots, we climb up the collapsing ship. As a result of the fire, the ship will finally begin to fall. We grab onto several cables one by one and slide down between the trees. We need to jump from one cable to another in time so as not to fall into the wreckage. We go down to the river, after which we go ashore.

20. Bunker on the rock
Tomb Raider (2013). How to save Alex
Missing: Reach the Endurance
From here we see our ship, which is being dismantled into pieces by sectarians. We use the “comet” and climb to the opposite side into the bunker. There will be many bandits here, with whom we deal as we move upward. We climb out through the platform into the hole in the ceiling. Now we need to go down the cables to our ship.
Boss: Brute. We find one of the Russian brothers on the ship, who uses Zhumar to automatically tighten the ropes. To defeat him, you need to use dodge (shift) and counterattack (F key), then hit him in the face with an ice pick. Having won, we go down.
Puzzle: Alex's Rescue
After examining our cabin, we go to the back of the ship. We find Alex, who was crushed by debris. The path to it is blocked by a switched-on generator. To open the path, you need to move the hook under the ceiling. We can use the zhumar to move it back and forth, and it moves left and right if we climb onto its side ladders. Solution:
1. We need to put the hook in the extreme right position, there we can move it to the central cross rail. Then we climb onto the hook on the right, and it will roll up to the central staircase. We climb under the ceiling, there we tear off the pipe that is interfering with us.
2. We need to move the hook closer to the exit, there we can move it to the central longitudinal rail. From there we pull the hook towards Alex, the obstacle will be broken. Pull the hook back to get through.
Having reached Alex, we will see that he suffered greatly. He was able to find the tool, but the attacking bandits do not give him the opportunity to help him. Alex decides to sacrifice himself to save Lara. We escape from a sinking ship. We use a zhumar on the cable to automatically climb up the rope. Now we need to go back.
21. Shore of sadness. The way back
Tomb Raider (2013). What to do
Missing: Return to the shore, to the survivors' camp
Now with the help of zhumar we can destroy strong barricades (white rope on steel doors). At the entrance we pull together a heavy load to break through the floor and return to the bunker. Inside, we open the strong doors to collect the remaining secrets. We return to the sandy shore.
Chasing the Wind: Begin the Ascent
While Race is repairing the boat, we go to the scientific station to find out the cause of these storms. To the left of the camp we open the road to the elevator and climb onto the rock. We move along the cables to cable car, from which you can climb onto the cliff where this station is located. There is a big climb ahead.
22. Research station
Chasing the Wind: Explore an Ancient Tomb
Having reached the entrance to the bunker, we will get inside the laboratory. We reach the elevator, which cannot go down. We need to break all 4 gears that move the elevator. To do this, we raise the elevator to different floors and break the gears through the holes.
Puzzle: Elevator
1. Call to the 2nd floor, destroy the gear while standing on the box.
2. We call you to the 3rd floor.
3. We call to the 3rd floor, climb up the vertical stairs.
4. We lower it to the 3rd floor. By pressing the call button on the 4th, we jump into the elevator and jump onto the uneven rock. As soon as the last gear is destroyed, the elevator will collapse, opening the way for us further.
On the lower floor we can climb over the boxes to take secrets from dead ends, and a map of all the secrets is hidden in the same way. We will find ourselves in an ancient tomb, where the commander of the thunder guards made a sepukku. From the note we learn that this mummified body of the empress does not make it possible to escape from the island.
Chasing the Wind: Leave the Research Station
Immediately in the hall, sectarians begin to attack us. Having defeated everyone, we can get out. We hear on the radio that the camp is under attack. We quickly return there along the cables.
In the camp we will find only the wounded Race and Jonah. As it turned out, the archaeologist Whitman betrayed us, and during a bandit attack he took Samantha to the sectarian Matthias. The boat is ready, but on it we will not escape from the island, but will go up the river to save our friend.
23. Pass
Tomb Raider game
Return: Enter the monastery
Having reached the place, we rise to the entrance to the citadel. From afar we will see how Matthias sent Whitman to meet with the thunder guards. Of course, the ancient Japanese could not understand him and killed him in cold blood. Matthias used this as a distraction and ran into the monastery with his hostage Sammy. We follow him, but the bridge will collapse, so we use the cable on the rock on the right.
24. Citadel
Return: Find Samantha in the monastery
Once in the citadel, we see living thunder guards; we can try to kill the first two. As soon as we reach the ceremonial room, we move quietly, there are too many enemies there. We go forward along the wall, from above we move to the other side along the beam, they won’t see us. Then we crawl along the ledge to the center of the hall. They will notice us, but we will have time to climb through the window.
We run along the burning corridor and jump into the courtyard. We will meet several guards on the way; these are ordinary warriors, dressed in armor. We shoot them with weapons and dodge their blows.
Return: Rescue Samantha from Mathias
Let's go out into the open. Here we will have to storm several lines of defense of the fortress, with a whole army of guards against us. At first, only archers on the towers, then they will bring down the column, and the samurai will come at us in close combat. At the main entrance we will be met by the main samurai hunter, but this time we will avoid battle, the enemy will be blown away by a powerful stream of wind. We take advantage of this opportunity and enter the temple.
25. Temple over the gorge
Tomb Raider (2013). How to get
Puzzle: Cage
Several artifacts can be found in the temple. In the next room we will find a cage suspended on a chain and a couple of mechanisms nearby. Decision:
1. Turn the mechanism on the right to open the cage on the floor;
2. The mechanism on the left will lift the cage;
3. We stand in front of the entrance, using the jumar we pull the cage towards us. She will break through the rock ahead;
4. Use the right mechanism to close the grille;
5. Use the left mechanism to lower the cage;
6. We climb onto the balcony of the upper floor. We pull the cage towards us and jump onto it. We will be carried by inertia towards the gap, and when we are close, we jump into the gap in the rock. Here we learn that the Empress is alone, and that she uses the priestesses as vessels for her soul.
(The game scares us with a “point of no return” before entering the last temple, but this is only until we complete the game to the end. After completing the story, you can return to any location and continue collecting secrets).
26. Ziggurat
Before us is the snow-covered tomb of Queen Pimiko. Matthias takes Samantha inside, and we need to look for a workaround. We climb up the outer wall of the temple. The path will be blocked by a gate with broken shutters; we must pull the bell hanging nearby. The wind will pick it up and direct it towards the gate. Climbing higher, we will see thunder guards on the bridge, who were held back by Race and Jonah, they are running into the temple. We climb higher.
At the very top, the ritual has already begun - Pimiko's soul slowly passes into Sammy's body. The path to the center is blocked by a storm, we must move around the altar, shooting at the cultists. After two skirmishes, the demons kill the bandits, and now we have to deal with them.
Boss: Guardian Stalker. To defeat him, we dodge his blows from top to bottom in time and shoot at his unprotected back. After he weakens, we hit him in the face with an ice pick. After the third such blow he will be defeated.
Boss: Mathias. We enter the center of the altar. The battle with the cultist Matthias will only take place in the format of quick button presses. First, he will shoot off our bow, then we will try to hit him with a pistol, but he will knock us to the ground. We throw Mathias off of us with an ice ax, after which we grab his pistol and shoot with both hands at once (this is where Lara Croft from previous games in the series begins to be recognized). A few hits and Matthias will fall off the cliff.
We thrust a torch into the empress's mummy, and it will fly into pieces before it can move into Sammy. Immediately after Pimiko's death, the storm over the island will begin to subside, and the rays of the sun will break through the sky. A small team of four people leaves this island by boat.
This is just the beginning of the adventure.
| Achievements . Questions and answers. |
Challenge Tombs are side quests that allow Lara to explore ancient caves, show off her climbing skills, and solve various puzzles to eventually unlock one of the additional skills. There are nine tombs in total, so you can get nine bonus skills.
By the way, for completing all the tombs, Lara will receive the title “Tomb Raider” (achievement).
Judge's Look
Location of the tomb.
A tomb that you will discover in the Peruvian jungle. Get closer to its entrance and destroy the obstacle ahead using an arrow. Move forward, jump over the ravine by throwing the ice axes, and then go down into the water.
The next obstacle is the sculpture, which cannot be bypassed. First, find a mural in the room to increase your knowledge of the local Quechua dialect, then go up to the hill on the right hand and jump onto the counterweight device. After collecting the necessary resources, move forward along the wooden bridge, swim across the water and continue straight until you find a new mural. From here, go down and find the main cave of the tomb with the main puzzle. Using counterweights, Lara must raise the stairs leading to the skill mural.
To begin, move the cart located on the left side so that the counterweight rises and the statue falls down. The cart should be located directly next to the stairs. Move towards the stairs and shoot an arrow at the sculpture on the left side, which will allow you to secure the rope. Place the cart located further away in the place where the first one was by default, which will allow you to grab onto the raised counterweight. Climb higher on the left side and lower this counterweight. A similar method must be used to lift the other sculpture on the right side. Then all that remains is to use the stairs, study the fresco, having gained the skill, and leave the tomb.
Gate of the Underworld
Location of the tomb.
Located in the Peruvian jungle. During the story part of the game, you will find the first camp with a fire not far from the plane crash site, on a small hill. Move towards the marker that will appear when you are close to the desired location. Crawl under the tree rhizomes that have come out, go forward and find a cliff. Here you will have to climb up a tree branch and jump to another one with a running start, so that you can later cling to the rock with the help of ice axes. Go down below and disable the trap, then pick up the geographer's backpack, which will automatically put several important markers on the map.
Move up the hill, from where you can follow the tree branches to get to the opposite side. In the end, you will need to go as low as possible on the rope, then swing and jump towards the ledge. Explore the local camp, look at the wall on the right side and look up to see a point you can grab onto with an ice ax. Thus, move to the opposite side.
On the right hand there is a passage between the walls leading to a small room. In the hall on the right side there is a ledge that allows you to rise higher. You can go in two ways: either along the wooden bridge on the right side, which leads outside, or along the left path deeper into the tomb. Go down the wall or take a running jump to the other side while on the lower platform. After climbing the tree, jump forward and grab the tree branch with your ice axes. On the left side you can find a small cave with useful items and gold ore. Follow the fallen tree to find the main puzzle.
In the process of solving it, no special difficulties should arise. You should turn the device counterclockwise until you can connect the two opposite sides with the rope. Get there, pull the lever next to the second device and activate the platform on the crane. Go back and rotate the first device so that it is in its original position. Connect the platform using the same rope.
Move again to the second lever and pull it. The rope will hold the platform for a few seconds, so you have time to quickly jump onto it. After moving onto the platform, go down and examine the fresco. Jump onto the rock on the right side and run up to the rock where you need to grab onto the ice axes. At this moment, the tomb will begin to collapse, stones will fall on you from the right and left. When the first stone flies by, jump in the right direction and go up. There will be a fresco here, when studied, a new skill will be unlocked.
Howling Caves
Location of the tomb.
This test tomb is located in Kuwak Yaku. She's here alone! You either explore the location on your own and discover a cave, or talk with one of the townspeople, after which a corresponding mark will appear on the map. In order to get to the right place, feel free to jump from a cliff into the abyss, ending up in a body of water. You can explore the bottom of the reservoir to collect many useful items.
Move forward and at the very end of the cave you will find a sharp descent. Lara will roll down, and you will need to press the jump button in time, and then plunge the ice picks into the rock. Once you've grabbed it, hang as low as you can on the rope and start swinging to jump into a small area. It is important to have time to grab the ledge on the wall and go even lower.
Follow the small hole in the wall through which Lara can crawl to the other side. then another descent awaits you and a battle with wild animals. Having completed the battle successfully, examine the fresco and move towards the cliff with the fire. Shoot from the bow so that you can use the rope to get to the other side.
Move to the top and explore the cave on the left side, where there will be a hidden cache. Along another path you can reach the main hall of the tomb, where, as always, you have to solve a puzzle. Examine the cave and find three levers that open special gates. With their help, you can put out the fire on the bridge to remove all obstacles from the path.
To begin, interact with the first device and grab the swinging pendulum. Find a moment with strong gusts of wind and jump to the other side. Use the second device to open the gate to go to the high ground on the opposite side. Follow there and calculate the time required to act in a strong gust of wind. Shoot a bow at top part a pendulum, which, together with the obstacle, will move and open a passage further.
Return to the second device to close the gate, as the strong wind may cause Lara to fall off the bridge. Move to last device, but do not open it because there is a third swinging piece of equipment in the way. Attach the rope to the pendulum and open the gate of the second device. Put out the fire, examine the fresco and, having gained the skill, get out.
Path of Battle
Location of the tomb.
This tomb is located in the Secret City. Go to it western part and not far from the entrance to the crypt you will find a test tomb. Follow to the lake and dive under the water to find a narrow opening ahead. Move through the flooded area, get to the surface and examine the mural in the camp. Your path lies behind him. Use the device to go through the gate, climb onto the ledge on the left side and overcome the obstacles by jumping onto the mountain. Fasten the rope and go down, where you will need to swing and jump further.
Next, examine the fresco and use the other lever to go through the next gate. The column located below will trigger traps that will rotate counterclockwise. There are a total of two passages - on the left and right hand. Each path will lead you to a device that temporarily disables traps but releases stationary obstacles. It doesn't matter where you decide to go first. Go to the device, interact with it and, without stopping in place, follow the obstacles and grab the lever to remove part of the column. Do the same on the other side. When the column stops, you can climb to the top and interact with the fresco to gain the skill.
Ancient Aqueduct
Location of the tomb.
Another tomb in the Secret City. This time we are talking about the upper part of Paititi. After the video inside the temple, follow the story quest target marker. Before the bridge, turn left and move down the cliff. Further in the story you will need to go to the right side, jumping onto the beam, but you go to the left, deeper into the cave. Inside, dive under the water and move forward. Don't forget to replenish the oxygen supply in the air pockets. Once out of the water, climb up the rock using the ice axes, then examine the relic on the right side and move on.
In the new part of the cave, jump onto the ledge on the right side and pick up useful items. There's not much underwater, so climb up to the ledge above and examine the mural. Go straight and you will find a camp on your left. Jump into the next body of water, collect useful resources and in the next room you will find a tomb riddle.
First, launch the device to fill the pool with water and raise the raft to the surface. Follow below and interact with the lever located under the water, which will open the gateway and drain the pond. Move the raft closer to the gate and connect the two objects using the rope. Return to the device and launch it to open the path further.
Swim across the water to the next room, find a lever similar to the previous one, and drain the pond. Shoot the arrow at the obstacle, removing it from the passage so that you can return to the previous room. Lara will be attacked by enemies. After defeating them, move the raft to the next room and fill the container with water using the first device. The raft should be located next to the left wall. Go upstairs, take the ammo and move to the next room. Continue killing enemies trying to stop Lara.
Next, the final stage of the puzzle will begin. Activate the lever located at the beginning of the hall to raise the water level in the tank. On the right side there is a wheel with blades for water. Go to the raft and shoot the bow at the rope on the wheel. This will propel the raft and allow you to reach the obstacle. In the center of the room there is a platform that can be connected by rope to a wheel. Shoot the hook near the platform, then fight off the opponents and cut the rope. While you are fighting with the natives, the raft will move away from the central pillar, which you must climb until the rope breaks. As soon as the raft starts moving, shoot the hook and jump into the water. Climb onto the pillar, follow it to the platform and go into the room with the fresco.
On the right side of the fresco there is a rise. At the end of it there is a rope that allows you to get out. If you decide to return the same way, you will have to perform the same steps that we described earlier, but in reverse order.
Temple of the Sun
Location of the tomb.
The entrance to this tomb, located near secret city Paititi, located under water. Need to go to southern part city (top on the map) and inspect the houses. In one of them there is a small pool that leads into the cave. Look around the cave and go upstairs. Here you can break the breakable wall and go inside the test tomb. Move through various obstacles, moving along rocks to get to the temple. After collecting resources and relics, examine the fresco near the passage to the room with the riddle.
There are four mirrors in the room. Look for the first near the entrance on the southeast side, the second in the northwest corner, the third and fourth in the northeast and southwest. You can't fall into the water, otherwise Lara will die. It is important to remember this numbering!
Start setting up your mirrors. To begin, rotate the first mirror so that it is aimed at the left column. Move to the fourth mirror and adjust it so that the beam of light hits the column located close to the third mirror. Go back to the first lever and aim the light beam at the column located next to the first and third mirrors. Next, you need to turn the device with the first mirror to the right side to get to the third. Here, turn the third lever, rotating it counterclockwise, towards the nearby column.
Follow back to the first device and activate the pillar to the fourth mirror. Get there, turn the mechanism onto the same column (look for the crystal below). Adjust the light beam of the first device by turning towards the column next to the second. Go to this mirror and direct the light beam counterclockwise at the nearest column installed in the center.
All this may sound complicated and incomprehensible, but during the game you will quickly figure out what is here and why. After examining the fresco, you will unlock the skill, after which you can get out. The required passage will be located between the fourth and second mirrors. All you have to do is climb the wall on the right side.
San Cordova
Location of the tomb.
The only test tomb you will visit in Cenote. This place was once visited by shipwrecked Spanish colonists, so here you will find a huge and awe-inspiring galleon. Move towards the tomb through the flooded area. At the fork you will need to go right, since the path to the left will lead you out of the cave. Be careful as several moray eels can be spotted underwater. Remember to use air pockets to replenish your oxygen supply.
After leaving the water, you will see a camp. The entrance to the tomb is blocked by wooden beams, so you must move the loaded cart to the left, then push the weapon forward. Walking around the ship on the right side, push the raft, which will fall into the water. With its help, you can climb to the deck of the galleon, where there is a lever that unfurls the sail and hangs the gun above the cabin.
There is an underwater path on the opposite side of the ship. Climb onto the deck and you will see a sail connected to the mast. Now you can't move it. On the left side of the mast there is a hole in the rock. Follow this path to the edge and untie the cable. To get back to the deck, climb the rope ladder to the tier above, and from there jump onto the rock. Using the lever, unfurl the sail on the deck so that you can climb to the top mast. Deal with the weapon, which will fall into the cabin and open the way inside.
The tree of Life
Location of the tomb.
This tomb is located at the Mission of Saint Juan location. You can find the entrance inside not far from another tomb in this area, next to the place where you are offered to hunt the royal leopard (you will learn about it from the locals; a marker will appear on the map during the conversation).
Near the entrance there is a relic, a camp and a merchant. To get inside, destroy the barrier at the end of the path and go down into the cave. After a few tricks, you will see a new type of puzzle involving flammable gas. You can't go any further if the gas is blocking your way, but you can use it to push various platforms aside. Shoot fire arrows if you need to ignite the gas.
When you find yourself on the first platform, which should be moved towards Lara, you will be attacked by the natives. Please note that they will appear several more times. Collect ammo and resources. Allowing you to craft arrows. Follow down and rock the new platform. When she is nearby, jump up and shoot again. After examining the fresco, untie the third platform. They are all connected, and between them there is a wooden device, which Lara can grab onto with the help of ice axes, which will allow her to cross to the opposite side.
Ahead awaits you the last riddle. First, cut the rope holding the platform, and open the access on the other side so that flammable gas appears. Jump onto the nearest platform to end up on the second one. Shoot the gas and return to the ledge. After defeating your opponents, you can study the fresco and, having earned another bonus skill, get out.
Thirsty Gods
Location of the tomb.
The test tomb is located at the Mission of Saint Juan location. Looking ahead, he will say that there are a total of two of them here. Finding out the exact location of the tomb is very easy: the fact is that you will have to visit it in a single side quest of this location (Destiny), and this will happen in the second part of the task after passing one of the crypts. To get to the tomb entrance, go to the southern region of the area. There you will find a wooden bridge with a sign prohibiting passage. Go to the left side to find the lake. Dive into it and follow to the place indicated on the map.
The entrance inside is underwater, but you have to hide from piranhas and moray eels. Hide from the fish by hiding in the bushes at the very bottom and choosing routes where they do not swim. Having reached the hall, examine the fresco, collect resources and climb to the top of the rock on the right, where you will find a lever. By activating it with a bow, you will drain the container and be able to move on.
Go straight until you see a spacious room. Swim underwater and, avoiding the piranhas, free the two rafts by cutting the ropes. The rope of one of them is hidden to the lower left of the locked door, inside a niche. To go further, turn the lever at the water wheel clockwise. Follow the platform to the wheel where there is a rope, stand next to it and shoot at the metal circle above the gate, which also has a rope. This way you will connect the devices to each other. Reactivate the lever that controlled the water supply. The wheel will start to spin, but don't rush to leave! If you leave everything as it is, the rope will break and the door will close again. You must wait until the rope is perfectly tensioned when the passage is open, and then turn off the rotation of the wheel again, using the same lever.
We find a fire. From it we jump along the hanging ropes using an ice ax. We stop at the site. At the next stage, some fastenings will break and you will have to act quickly.
We jump from the ledge into the water (1 of 4). A little ahead at the bottom you can find gold, jade and resources. We get out to the shore and continue along the ledges.
We come out to a large area. There will be a cache on the left. To open it you need . If you go further and swim across the lake, you can find a cave with wolves. Here you can get rare skins and update your map by taking a traveler's backpack. At the exit from the cave, right in front of the entrance, we take the survivalist's cache.
Near the descent to the lake we climb onto a ledge. The first item for the Flight of the Condor challenge will be here. Take feathers from the nest (1 of 3). If we cross the lake, we will find the first crypt. From there you can jump into the water for the Diving Challenge (2 of 4).
In the center near the skin we take the document - Fawcett's Legacy.
There will be a couple more doors on the right. One can be opened with a bow, and the second requires.
We follow the boy's screams. He fell into a trap, but Lara will help him. After this, Lara will be taken to the village.
We return back to the building and take the document - Diary of T. Serrano 3. There is a fire right there.
You can iron it immediately upon exiting. On the contrary, in the hut, we take the artifact - the Thrower. In the large hole on the right there will be a cache, and next to it is a document, but it is somewhere underground. We go further to the right and take the artifact; there will be an obelisk nearby. Let's go to indicated circle and between the creepy totem and the fence we dig up a treasure.
Just below the obelisk (the answer is the farthest pillar, the treasure is behind it), in the hut we find an artifact - a Plastic Penguin. We return to the road to the task and reach the second obelisk. Below it there will be another one and a hiding place. It is located behind a hut that requires a reinforced knife. You can also jump from the bridge here (3 out of 4) (you need an improved knife).
From the solution to the second monolith, we go up the map and collect treasures. We find the map, the Chaki-Takla artifact. Let's go even higher and take the document - Eldorado and the traveler's backpack. Let's go down again.
Along the way you can see a group of children and a mural. We swim across the river and find a cache near the stairs. We go a little further and in the hut we take an artifact - the Ceremonial Pipe. Below (above the large bridge on the map), there is a cave with a document and a geographer's backpack. Above the bridge on the map you can find a house (you need an improved knife), here we take the artifact “Charki and Chunos”.
Then we follow the story to the crowd of people. After the cutscene, we examine the left edge, here you can find a fresco and talk to people. If you climb onto the roof (there is a ladder) of the hut opposite the waterfall, you can find a condor feather (2 of 3).
On the bridge to the right of the waterfall we take the map. If you go down into the water here, you can find a survivalist's cache. If you swim to the right along the “tunnel” from the cache, you can find a treasure chest (needed).
At the bottom of the lake you can find another survival cache (in the lower corner) and various resources.
In the cave below you can find another fire and a map. In the hut nearby (you need an improved knife) there is an artifact “Disassembled Walkie-Talkie”. We find another map in the house near a woman talking about wells and tunnels. We take the last Condor feather at the top of the tower (3 of 3), opposite the cave. From there you can rappel down.
Opposite this house there is a monolith. The solution can be found near the entrance to the cave with a fire. You just need to follow the stream. Along the path of the stream, you can climb into the house and find the hiding place.
We go to the central part and find a fresco. We go left on the map. We find the artifact “Rug for Patolli” and a treasure chest (you need a master key).
We go to the lower left part of the village. In the cave we find a fresco, a map and an artifact “Mask of the Fire God”. There will be an archivist's map in the house upstairs. There will be another fresco nearby, it is located in the lowland. Near one of the houses you can find a hanging decoration (1 of 3) from the Round Up Challenge.
To the left of the entrance to the cave with a chest you can climb up the rock. There will be a fresco here. There will be an artifact on the left - the Ceremonial Torch, but you still need to climb the rock and jump down. Even further to the left is the entrance to the tomb of trials. On the right we take the document “Unification of Two Nations”.
To the right of the entrance to the temple (according to the instructions) we find the second pile (2 of 3).
We walk from the center of the village up to the lake. At the very top, near the road to the wolves' lair, there will be a cache. Another hiding place in a large “flower bed”. Directly above it, below, is a fire. If you climb big tree on the rock, you can get the document “The First Emperor”.
We go towards the monolith in the center of the reservoir. The clue is at the bottom of the lake at the top of the search circle.
The solution to the last monolith is located next to it, behind one of the outcasts, with whom you will have to talk for the task “Game with a Dead Man”.
We go to the center of the village. We find the fresco. Additional task“Find the Takiya cubes.” There will be a survivalist's cache under a small bridge.
There will be a mural next to the central bonfire (in the market). You can buy upgrades to your knife and resource bag from the market merchant. In the building near the fire we take the Chuspas artifact.
Let's return to the plot. Let's go to the sign. We talk to the guy and on the right we take the artifact on the left - the Whistle. We go to the temple. On the left we take the document “Dangerous Lands”. We go through the corridor and take the Macuahuitl artifact.
Let's go left. Here we go down on a rope. Then we jump using an ice ax. We find a fire. We break the blockage with an improved knife and collect jade below.
We go up the steps and take the document “The Appearance of Trinity.” We go into the narrow tunnel on the right. We find the fresco. In the next room we walk along the beam and climb onto the ledge.
We make our way through the pile of bodies to the beam. From it we jump onto a hanging structure, and from it onto a rock. We go down on the cable, swing and jump onto the next structure. From her one cell higher. From there onto the wall. We pass along the cliff and jump onto the ledge on the other side.
We go downstairs, enter the room and crawl out through a narrow tunnel with the remains of bodies. We quietly deal with the sectarian. And we break the passage on the right. We find ourselves in the mini-location “Belly of the Serpent”.
Belly of the Serpent
We collect resources and study the fresco. pull the lever on the left and fill the “pool” with oil. We quickly go to the lever at the beginning and push it. The oil will ignite and the passage will be cleared. We jump into the pit and go down the rope.
Another puzzle. We connect two large columns below. We align the bottom one in the desired position. We cut the rope and line up the top one. We pull the lever and set fire to the oil.
We go into the next room and take the snake figurine. At the exit from the cave, Lara will be attacked by sectarians and will have to run away. We use various obstacles, but do not approach the sectarians.
Secret City
We get out of the building and go to Jonah, on the other side of the island.
mountain temple
We go up and find the temple. We climb inside and go down on a rope. We collect supplies and jump over the obstacle. We jump along the ledges and find a fire.
We examine the house opposite and follow the sign. We go down the cable and quietly deal with the sectarian. We go into the next room. There are two opponents here, we throw a can at the wall to distract and deal with them. Or you can use a gun.
At the next location there will be many opponents. You can eliminate them one by one using dirt and walls. We collect resources and go upstairs to the right of the door.
After the cutscene, we go out into the jungle and find the “Snake Eye”. We go to the right and jump on the rocks. We reach the “Eye” itself and use a rope to go down, inside it. We swim through the underwater tunnel and find ourselves in the Cenote location.
First crypt
We fly along the rope across the lake and climb up the rock. Almost immediately there will be a trap at the entrance, disarm it.
There will be a fresco on the right, and a spiral staircase down on the left. We go down, you can see a couple of images on the walls.
We dive into the well and in the very center we find the survivalist’s hiding place. Next we swim towards the light into the crevice. Ahead there will be a chest with an artifact - Lords of the Dead.
First, we make a loop and swim into the cache on the right. There will be a trap here. We take a map. And a little further at the bottom we dig out the survivalist’s hiding place.
Behind full research of all nine tombs in the game it turns out achievement/trophy Tomb Raider.
Below we'll take a closer look at how to fully explore the tomb. Chamber of Exile.
Trial: explore the tomb
Reward:“Greek Fire” ability (increases fire damage from arrows and Molotov cocktails)
Path to The Tomb of the Chamber of Exile goes through the cave, which is located on . Before entering it, equip yourself with the best and powerful weapon, because on the way you will have to fight a bear.
After fighting the bear, break through the wall behind him and continue along the small path. Along the way, you will still come across relics and collectibles, so pick them up and move to the end of the path.
Then you will find yourself in an area where you have to dive to depth. But if you turn towards the rocks, you can pick up a backpack, a relic and explore the emergency cache. Now dive into the water, swim underwater among the stalactites and stalagmites, reach the camp. Then move to the right side, where the Archivist Map and Emergency Cache are located.
Continue forward and you will find yourself in front of a gas gate. Shoot at it with a fiery arrow, which will allow you to blow up the gate and get inside.
In the next room you can find two Documents and some puzzles. So…
Shoot an arrow with a rope towards (at them, in other words) two levers (wrapped with ropes) that are above ground level. This will lift the valve and allow gas into the room.
Levers for gas activation
Now very quickly jump down and run towards the cage, near which there is a small niche that is not yet completely filled with gas. Cut the chain and explode the gas or wait until it dissipates on its own.
The next task is to activate the mechanism near the crane, which will allow you to raise the cage.
IN Once again let the gas into the room by shooting the levers and then shoot a fire arrow at it (the gas). The cage will explode, the gate will collapse and Lara will be able to continue on her way, read the book and gain the skill.
