Shadow Of The Tomb Raider

Hello. This is one Xbox achievement I don't have for "Shadow". Anyone got any tips on the best place for this, techniques, etc? I presume an early level and New Game Plus helps. Cheers!

Hi - I'm East of The Hidden City - on an island - in front of me is an iron door with an orange circle / star and to the left an opening blocked off rope gate. Rapids swirl around me below and if I jump into the water, I die immediately. I cannot get through either door - I've tried burning the rope with a fire arrow and it does not work. Can anybody help?! Thanks

When doing the DLC tombs, some of the interactions were momentary, mostly opening doors that immediately shut when Lara releases whatever triggers them. It finally dawned on me that these triggers are intended for co-op play, where one player does something to hold a door open to allow the other player to go through the doorway. In the case of the Forge, there's one doorway like this, but in single player mode, it automatically opens after the player progresses to a certain point in the tomb, so it doesn't make much difference in that case. For Howl of the Monkey tomb, there are a couple of doorways that require co-op, but it seems that all there is inside are some canist…

I am using XBox One. There is a moveable platform in the middle of this puzzle which I have moved but it has stuck between its original place and the final destination. As a result Lara cannot use it as she obviously should because it is out of reach. I can see exactly what should happen but it is impossible with the platform stuck where it is. I cannot return to the mechanism which would enable me to move it again. The auto save has caused me to be stuck here in an impossible situation where I cannot move forward. Any thoughts?

Hello everyone !! I have a few questions regarding the game. I'm almost at the end where you have to agree to one mission from the litte paititi boy and before agreeing, the games asks you if you're sure. If you go further, is it true you can't travel from campfire to campfire anymore? Second, I want to get all the items and do all the challenges before, do you know if I have to kill all ennemies again while revisiting a place? In the cenote, a friend had to help me kill all these awful monsters and I don't want to be stuck there again.... Thank you so much

Just finished a bow-only run, and I found it a lot of fun. The game was a Game +, so I started with almost all skills plus my Eagle bonus skills, and soon enough had the other useful bonus skills as well. I also set the combat to “Easy”. To be clear, I did not do this run for the challenge—I am 56 with arthritis in my hands and wanted this run as easy as possible. I did it for fun and to experience the combat sequences in a new way and think about them differently. Starting with Sip’s Strike (increased charged shot damage against armored enemies when using a bow) and Sip’s Quiver (loose up to three [uncharged] arrows without pulling from the quiver) was a huge help. S…

Just did this - bit odd! Just a note to reassure. Spoiler During the thing there are two murals and a document. I got the murals first. When I picked up the document the tracker still stated 66% and one of the murals had vanished so I was worried that it wasn't going to score but when I got out the new artifacts item read 100%.

Stella, I saw your note about this jump in your walkthrough, and just happened to be in this area today on my 4th play-through, so I saved at the checkpoint and went back later to see what I was doing and what worked reliably. Playing on PC with mouse and keyboard (well, mouse and gaming keypad). What works multiple times in a row for me: Walk up to ledge after checkpoint. Take my hand off the mouse and leave it off for the duration. Grapple-jump to rough patch. Do not adjust Lara, the camera, or anything. Wall run back and forth, letting the wall crumble, until I am feeling brave, then jump from the far right and *immediately* hit interact for the grapple (and I m…

I've looked on youtube for score attack videos to pick up the few score items along the path shown in the video, but can't find any. At the start of the video, Lara is facing the second pendulum, and prior to the start of the video, the gas was initially emitted from the right serpent head. Lara needed to get to the left side from either the second or third pendulum, then pushed a switch so that gas is emitted from the left serpent head, then jumped back down to face the second pendulum again, which is where this video starts. The pistol flare round can be used for a delayed ignition of the gas as shown in the video.

I just rescued someone from prison by diverting the guards in Hidden City and now I need to rescue Colqui, outside the walls but I can't get out. Every time I go for the exit, there's an invisible wall. If I reload a checkpoint, of course I'm still within the walls and I can't use fast travel because there aren't any base camps in the Hidden City, as far as I know. Anyone know of a solution please? Here's a video which shows the problem

TLDR/Summary: On PC, about what percentage of survival caches should I see blinking? I get around half. Rambling version: Running SotTR on PC with a GTX 970 and latest nVidia drivers. Only about 6 of them blinked for me in RotTR, but I had read comments from others that a lot of them didn’t have a visible blink due to lighting conditions/whatever, so it didn’t alarm me and I found them by luck, Stella’s most excellent descriptions, or by finding the backpacks (thanks largely to Stella) and going back and waypointing them. On my first play through of SotTR, though, exactly zero of them blinked, and I read comments indicating this was not true for everyone. So, …

Shadow of the Tomb Raider 8K Benchmark

Season's greetings to one and all!

I've read a few guides that say the classic outfits like TR 2 don't need any special crafting or whatever, but when I select them, the equip option doesn't appear. I've completed all the main storyline and am at 69% completion, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something here.

Hello everyone and happy christmas eve!!! I have two questions. Is it possible to use someone else back-up when you play on ps4? I'm stuck where you have to kill all these monsters in the cenote!! Second question, I started playing the second extension and my progress hasn't been saved, is it normal? Do we have to finish the extension as soon as we start it? Thank you very much ! Florence

I have until now tried on my computer to grapple the stalactite and rappel down almost 50 times, but every time I'm dropping down in the pool and must start again. I succeed 2 times, but I could'nt rappel down and get Lara swinging. Each time I ended again in the pool. Are there anybody who could help. Tell me what to do, when I'am rappeling - which tasts i should use.

This one took me a while because there are levers to push and pull and without spoiling it, I found that I had to use a combination of W and left arrow keys together. This is because I've remapped many of my key bindings, so it was trial and error. I'm also glad that this tomb wasn't on a timer. Now that would have been challenging.

During the last major boss fight, I noticed some weird artefacting with little green, red and white pixels appearing on screen. I know my system is up to playing the game since it's a new Ryzen 2600X/RX580 build. Anyway, this was only happening when DirectX 12 was selected in the options menu, and yet DX11 was just fine. I posted the problem in the Steam forums and SE said they would look into it, but I'm not sure that they have yet. The solution is to turn SMAA to normal, ie not SMAA 2 or above, or simply disable it. Actually, there's not a huge performance difference between DX11 and 12, so it's a little moot really. Here's a video of the glitching.

get stuck at the mecenaries at the plain, anyone has a save file . been at it for days . I amplaying the on a pc thanks Liel

I just got a message about a loyalty reward, a platinum Bishop 600 shotgun. Anyone else got this? What did I do to get this? Are there any others (ie, have I missed any)? Member Pgacol noted something similar just under three weeks ago but perhaps that was the gold edition. One other thing I didn't quite get was that Forge and so on appear in the main game, they're not standalone, but that was probably just me being thick!

I made a video showing one way to get to that ledge, but I suspect there is supposed to be an easier way.

I made a list of the locals that reveal items on the map, although you have to press TAB on PC for the dice mission castouts. I’m wondering if I missed any. Lara can chat with other locals to get hints (like underwater pathways), but I’m wondering if there are any other map reveals other than the ones I listed below. During the dice mission, I don’t recall Moraekah stating why she was cast out, instead she talks about Lara, then selling her stuff. - castout reveals: - man that knows where cult gold drop off is => gold under barrier - woman saved by outsider => condor feathers - woman and jade necklace => jade in n…

I note that some base camp icons have a small compass needle icon hovering over them. Particularly those I have just left. I'm puzzled by this. Does anyone know what the small compass icon signifies? It doesn't appear to make any difference to anything in the game as far as I can tell.

Microsoft 2 mins ago just sent me an XBL Message with a download code for the Outfit and Bow prop. I cannot say for certain if they will soon be sent out to the Xbox Community who pre-ordered, or if it because I contacted Microsoft directly this morning regarding them, but I want to let my fellow Xbox Raiders that I recieved the codes for the Avatar Outfit and Prop.....so hopefully Xbox will be sending them out ***before the message, I contacted Microsoft earlier this morning on when they would be released. I do not know if that is related to any of the above, though they did manually add the outfit to my Avatar App with Bow code being sent later*** …

With version 235, I would occasionally get garbled sound at game startup, but exiting and restarting the game would solve this. Then Steam dropped version 235 from the beta list and force upgraded SOTR to version 243, and now the sound is randomly garbled or it goes silent for a few seconds. My system: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, Intel 3770K 3.5 ghz, 16GB ram, GeForce 780ti enthusiast video card, Creative Fatal1ty X-Fi sound card. I changed the settings for the sound card from 24 bit 48000 hz to 16 bit 48000 hz, which helped a bit. I still get the garbled sound and silence but less often, and if the sound is garbled, alt-tabbing to desktop and returning to the game usually fixe…
