I don't personally know anyone who has both these games so might I ask a favour of someone here? Please boot "Rise", go into the game and run around a bit, get a feel for the graphics, then load "Shadow" and see how the resolution of the game compares. Is it just that it's different? As noted, I have two different Xboxes, HDMI cables and HDTV set-ups at 1920x1080. I swear "Rise" looks better so for my sanity please would someone help!

Still working on this but it seems the eagles spawn every time with a fast travel to Tupac Shakur . . . oh what is it called . . . Kuwaq Yaku. With the outfit I have that's 95 XP and 6 feathers per eagle. The condor and jaguar don't show up as often. So, fast-travel in, shoot them, sell the feathers, fast-travel out and back. Any other strategies?

I missed the mural and room completely but - honest, guv! - did find them before re-reading this topic for the answer. Thanks!

I've got up to the very first camp in the hidden city. In the village before that, Tupac Shakur or something (the game's not in front of me right now, the children have taken over with "For Honor"), I am missing six things. Two chests that I can't open, a monolith I can't translate, a tomb I can't do without a shotgun (and one door that needs the rope-pulling thingy). That's all fine, but . . . There's one cache missing - does that come with the monolith I can't translate? I haven't quite worked out if that's how the game does those things. Otherwise I've just missed it and a satchel (not map, right?) that puts it on the map. There's one challenge missing - I am finding this annoying. I just can't see where to start with it. I did the plants in the little lake and the "blasphemous" totem things. I can't see anything flying that needs shooting down, anything (else) hanging that needs shooting, can't see anything to light with a fire arrow, shot blue frogs, spoken to everyone, got the skill and walked through pressing "Eagle Vision" (the franchise seems to be converging with Assassin's Creed if you ask me!) every few steps. I am not sure how many maps or satchels I've done in this bit, two maybe - how many of those are there? I suppose the answers I'm after are minimal here - although a clue to the third challenge wouldn't go amiss. Cheers!

Ah, okay, thanks. Mind you, I don't have a mobile 'phone right now so I am not sure what happened for me to get the reward, but I'll keep an eye out and (this is quite sad now) it might prompt me to sort out my mobile 'phone situation if I really do need to download an app. Might also mean I'll start playing Deus Ex Mankind Divided - I always intended to do Deus Ex Go before I did the proper game to get the small in-game reward.

I was side-tracked while the game was booting earlier and only half-read a message that came up. It was something about a mobile app reward, maybe, but I can't see anything obvious new in the game, unlike the Facebook/Twitter/Twitch/whatevertheotheronewas "gold" items. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Ah, right, there's on in that shack that I just found literally two minutes after posting this message! Any others, though?

Hello Is there an explorer map for the Peru jungle? I've nearly finished the first visit, done the visit to the manor and found the last collectible in the region, Jacks' fourth letter/note, and also the chest that I can't yet open. Anyway, I don't remember finding an explorer map. Two explorer satchels, I think. Any other collectibles-that-aren't-in-the-menus? Similarly are there only two challenges in that area? Flowers and those weird hangy-downy-nest things that reappear after the challenge has been completed? Cheers!

I got a second opinion from my wife earlier, who thought that the graphics look "better" than "Rise" but I still feel the resolution is not right, there just doesn't seem to be the level of detail in the Lara model compared with "Rise" although maybe it's just been done differently and I'm imagining all this! I haven't seen a comment anywhere on the internet about the graphics, either. Oh, well!

Thanks for the comment but I don't think it can be HDMI cables; it was good, now it's not good, and I haven't changed anything. The resolution is obviously better in "Rise", little glints on the outfit, etc. Basically it looks like it's normal resolution, not even HD, after this update. I am really quite sure that it was better earlier today (although have no real proof and part of me wonders if I've gone mad) but as mentioned, the graphical detail is superior in "Rise", that's something I could upload I suppose - but it's half past one and I have to get up early tomorrow so need to get my head down. Also it's on two different Xboxes with two different cables and two different screens. Cheers.

Quick comment, hope it's not inappropriate. I played Shadow yesterday and today and thought the graphics looked quite good. I do not have a 4K set-up, just HD. I just booted it on our Xbox One S (with a smaller TV screen) and thought the graphics looked much worse than they did earlier today. I fiddled with the TV settings and Xbox settings but nothing changed. I don't have any screenshots but swear the game resolution looks like it's suddenly become not even HD. I thought maybe that Xbox was having a fit so went to the other one, the Halo 5 one attached to a bigger HD screen. It wanted to do an update and when the game started. I suppose the Xbox One S had automatically done the update although so should that one. No matter - it looked the same/as bad. Lara actually looks like she does in games like "Anniversary" or something like that in terms of impression of how good the graphics are. Not that bad, maybe, dunno, maybe similar to "Deus Ex Human Revolution" in terms of realism. Definitely not as good as earlier today. I just booted "Rise" and yes, indeed, the graphics there look as good as they did and "Shadow" all of a sudden has had a significant downgrade. Anyone else noticed this?
