There are many types of collectibles to be found in Tomb Raider (2013). Each level you go through will have several Documents, Relics, Treasure Maps, Camps and Challenges awaiting for you to find them. We have gone thorugh the game and found locations of each of these. Not only that, we also marked.

This trick allows you to earn 10,000 XP and 2,000 salvage or more approximately every 5 minutes. It can be done solo or with other players. At the Multiplayer menu, create a private match. Select Rescue mode, and choose the Beach map. Select the Survivor team, then customize your Loadouts. Choose the top option, and when you are at a high enough level, select 'Second Wind' as your Offensive Skill. Leave the Survival Skill set to 'Advanced Looting'. Exit the Loadouts screen, and select 'Match Options'. Change the 'Time Limit' to any time desired. This method usually takes 8-10 minutes to complete. Set the 'Medkits To Retrieve' option to '20'. Start the match. Then, retrieve the medkits scattered randomly around the map as quickly as possible. Even though the medkits spawn randomly, there are some locations the medkits will always appear. Once you appear on the map, there will be a circle near the spawn point where medkits are dropped off. A white waypoint icon will appear off in the distance showing where the medkit is located.Simply sprint to each waypoint, and collect the medkits as they appear, then return them to the drop-off point. On the way to each of the medkits, you can stop and collect salvage. The salvage respawns pretty quickly after collecting it. Keep doing this until the match ends. You can then start a new match, and repeat the process. Note: You can quite in-between rounds and will still retain all XP and salvage you have obtained.

Search the indicated locations to find all seven optional tombs. Solve the puzzle in each tomb using the indicated solution to get a reward for each tomb completed. Complete all seven optional tombs to get the 'Intellectually Superior' achievement.

Tomb Of The Unworthy

Location: Travel to the Mountain Village once you have obtained the Climbing Axe, and return to the Tomb Of The Unworthy camp at the base of the waterfall (right before the Climbing Axe is required to progress further). Then, use the axe to enter the tomb.

Solution: To solve the puzzle in the tomb, you must first light the torch. Use the pot to light it, or use your flint if you have acquired it. Then, burn the bodies on the mesh platform, and push off the extra weight nearby to allow the lift to raise up enough for Lara to climb to the top and reach the treasure chest.

Reward: Mountain Village Relic Map

Halls Of Ascension Tomb

Location: Travel to the Overlook camp in the Mountain Village, where Lara went to find the rescue plane's smoke signal, once you have the rope arrows and Firestarter flint. Use a rope arrow to reach the north ledge to follow the upper route. Use a second rope arrow to reach the tomb entrance.

Solution: To solve this puzzle, first look around the room. There is an open window on the left, and a platform hanging by ropes in the center. Start by closing the shutters on the left with the crank, then turn the crank in the center to raise the platform. The shutters on the left will slowly open. Then, quickly run onto the platform once it has been raised, and wait for the second shutter to open. Once it opens, a strong gust of wind will blow the platform right and high. On the right, a flat wooden board will appear for Lara to jump to and hang on from the ledge. Move along the ledges to reach a long hallway with the treasure chest at the end.

Reward: Mountain Village GPS Cache Map

Well Of Tears

Location: Travel to the Helicopter Hill camp in Shantytown. You will need a rope arrow to pull open the tomb entrance and drop in. Travel through the town to reach a building painted with white murals and protected with boobytraps. Destroy the floor to drop into a cave below, which leads down a straight path to the tomb.

Solution: Inside the tomb, there is a hanging platform above. Collect the yellow canisters one by one, and throw them onto the platform to lower it. Once it is on the ground, stand on the platform, and remove the canisters. Next, step off, and use the upper ledge to jump onto the raising platform, then quickly jump onto the left ledge to reach the area with the treasure chest.

Reward: Shantytown Relic Map

Chamber Of Judgement

Location: From the Windmill camp in Shantytown, travel to the eastern caves below the gondola station in the southern part of the town, and slide down the surface to reach the ledges across the gap. Follow the right passage after climbing up the ledge, and cross the wooden beam bridge to reach a narrow entrance to the tomb.

Solution: Collect the yellow canisters around the tomb, and place them on the raised section of the seesaw to weigh it down. Jump to one, and use a rope arrow on the other. Use the raised seesaw to jump to the rock wall. Move along the rock wall using the climbing axe to reach a ladder. Climb the ladder to reach the area with the treasure chest.

Reward: Shantytown GPS Cache Map

Stormguard Sanctum

Location: Travel to the Hunting Lodge camp in the Summit Forest, and go north beyond the bridge. There is a lamppost next to the tomb entrance.

Solution: Use two fire arrows to set off explosives and gas to solve this puzzle. Explode the gas with a fire arrow, cross it, then destroy the explosive crates on the ledge to clear the pathway. Then, climb up the rock wall to reach the treasure chest.

Reward: Summit Forest Relic Map

Temple Of The Handmaidens

Location: At Shipwreck Beach, travel to the zipline north of the Survivor's camp to reach a barricade blocking the way to a bunker. Use the Rope Ascender to break the barricade, and follow the path. Use rope arrows to continue into a cave leading to the tomb.

Solution: Use the crank at the entrance to raise a platform and allow the buoy to move left. Climb the ledge left to follow the buoy as it releases a turning pole. Use it to jump the gap, then use a rope arrow on the white roped beam below. Wait for the buoy to move forward, and push the beam perpendicular with Lara. Once it lines up, jump to the bar to reach a rock wall using the Climbing Axe, allowing you to reach the area with the treasure chest.

Reward: Shipwreck Beach GPS Cache Map

The Flooded Vault

Location: At Shipwreck Beach, the tomb is located on your way to the Cliffside Bunker. You will need the Climbing Axe, Prying Axe, and some rope arrows. Climb to the top of the bunker, and go through the narrow passage to reach the tomb entrance.

Solution: Press the button up the stairs, then press the button beside the door near the entrance to enter the tomb. Inside the tomb, there is electricity surging through the water and a floating platform. Light the anchor rope on fire to release the floating platform, then shoot the wooden barrier on the right with the shotgun. Shoot a rope arrow through the new opening in the barrier at the platform to pull it closer. Pull the platform to the steps, then use rope arrows to pull the beam at the far end of the room, raising the generator and stopping the electricity in the water. Pull the generator up, jump right to the platform, pull the generator again, and continue through the water. Finally, pull up the generator, then pull the platform underneath the generator to make the water safe to cross, allowing you to reach the area containing the treasure chest.

Reward: Shipwreck Beach Relic Map

Search the indicated locations to find all 14 treasure maps. The treasure maps will reveal the location of all relics, GPS caches, and documents on the in-game world map.

While going through Shantytown, you will be ambushed on a rooftop. Enemies will be throwing dynamite at you. Equip the shotgun or rifle, and shoot one bundle of dynamite out of the air to get the 'Boom Goes The Dynamite' achievement.

During the course of the story, there are seven occasions where you can talk to your friends. You must listen to everything they have to say. If you miss a single conversation, you will not get the 'Chatterbox' achievement during that playthrough. Keep talking to each person until the 'X' symbol above their head is gone. You will also see the Tomb Raider auto-save logo flashing in the bottom right corner of the screen when all conversations with one person have been completed. You need to talk to the following people:

1. Before searching for 50 pieces of salvage, talk to Whitman.
2. After finding the 50 pieces of salvage, talk to Whitman again (do not repair the Axe yet)
3. After helping Roth (where the wolves attack him), talk to Roth.
4. Shortly after getting the Rope Arrows, you will meet Roth again. Talk to him before using the zipline.
5. When reaching the shipwreck beach, you will meet your friends. Talk to Sam, Reyes, and Jonah.
6. Before going to the Endurance to help Alex and get the tools, talk to Whitman, Sam, Jonah, and Reyes at the beach camp. Reyes is on the boat.
7. After coming back from the Endurance, talk to Whitman, Reyes, and Jonah.

After meeting up with your friends at Shipwreck Beach, a new mission called 'Gone Missing' will begin. From the camp of your friends, go down to the beach. In the sand are some crabs. Shoot one of the crabs with a pink heart on its shell to get the 'Crab Cakes' achievement. If they do not spawn, go back to the camp, and return to the beach after a minute or so.

In the Shantytown area, there are a lot of enemies that will throw dynamite at you. They usually look like construction workers and have a yellow helmet on their head. When they are about the throw the dynamite, shoot them with any weapon, and they will drop it. There are usually some enemies around them -- so there is a good chance it will kill two people and you will get the 'Epic Fumble' achievement.

Introduction

Available on PS4 (reviewed) and Xbox One
You might think of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition as a next-gen port of last year’s Lara Croft reboot, but Square Enix considers this Tomb Raider the definitive version: the ultimate edition that shows the game at its very best.

Thanks to sterling work from Crystal Dynamics and two conversion teams – Sleeping Dogs developer United Front on Xbox One and Nixxes on PS4 – Definitive Edition sounds like it deserves the accolade. The only questions are how the adventure holds up nearly one year on, and whether it’s worth buying if you’ve already played through it.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition – What’s New?

What’s new with the next-gen version? In truth, not a lot. We get a new hidden tomb near the start of the game and some alternative costumes and multiplayer maps bundled in. Otherwise this is fundamentally the same game with the same single-player campaign.

It begins with Lara struggling to survive on an inhospitable Pacific island, and then chronicles her journey from ingénue archaeologist to action heroine as she faces depraved cultists, supernatural forces and fearsome terrain.

Being the same isn’t necessarily a bad thing: the reboot worked last year and it still works now. We can criticise it for its over-reliance on cinematic quick-time events in the early sections and shooting gallery combat in the later part, but it still packs in the thrills, spills and scares, along with stretches of superb jumping and clambering exploration and a feast of big action set-pieces.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Ign

The new Lara is a hugely likable heroine, even if the switch from near torture porn victim to gun-toting bad-ass feels sudden, and the storyline has enough mystery and intrigue to keep you hooked for the duration – even when you’re on your second play through.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition – Gameplay and Style

Whether it’s your first or second go, you might also notice how the game mixes linear storytelling with real player choice. While you’re always being dragged from one event to the next, the island opens up as you move through, and there are always options to return to previous areas with new equipment and discover items or areas that were previously blocked off.

While this might break up the flow and make little sense in such a fast-paced narrative, it’s well worth tracking down the collectibles or raiding the optional – and more puzzle-packed – hidden tombs. Meanwhile the main game does its bit to reward new strategies, giving you the chance to play stealthily or go for all-out blasting, with enough exploding barrels and flammable areas to make the environment work for you at times.

True, some of the ideas are under-exploited, particularly the hunting and survival aspects that are introduced early on, but there’s no shortage of stuff to find, stuff to collect and extra goals to complete. This makes Tomb Raider an enjoyable game to return to, and more exciting than you might expect. If, like us, you loved Tomb Raider before, then there’s little doubt that you’ll still love it now. For every part that’s annoying – later battles – or ridiculous – Lara’s antique-collecting side-quest – there’s an awful lot that’s just sublime.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition – Value and Graphics

The question is whether it’s worth replaying on a whole new console – and paying £40 to £45 for the privilege.

You can now pick up the old console versions for under £15, or the PC game for under a tenner. The main advantage of the Definitive Edition is a visual overhaul. Xbox One and PS4 owners effectively get an enhanced take on the already fantastic-looking PC version, with the ‘Tress FX’ hair animations in place and working better, high-resolution textures and 1080p output, all running at 30fps on the Microsoft console and an unlocked 30 to 60fps on the PS4.

Tomb Raider Definitive Edition Map Locations

At first the differences seem minor. The hair effects still aren’t entirely convincing, though there’s a lot more movement in a breeze, and a shell-shocked Lara with a more realistic dirt and gore-streaked face isn’t a huge advance on the older Xbox 360 and PS3 model.

Pay attention, though, and you soon notice a whole lot more. The combination of more – and more animated – vegetation in the outdoor areas helps make the island setting come alive, with swaying grasses and trees everywhere you look. Dynamic lighting and particle effects add atmosphere and tension to creepy torchlit tombs and burning buildings alike. Wind, rain and snow effects are noticeably more dramatic, while the lighting seems richer and more vibrant. The overall level of detail is frequently amazing, and few games offer outside vistas as sweeping and beautiful as this one.

And when the game zooms in on Lara, with her remodelled face and all-important sub-surface scattering effect on her skin, it can produce some breathtaking results. The gap between the extraordinary graphics and the stilted facial animation lends Tomb Raider a touch of the uncanny valley, but it still looks dazzling. At its best, Definitive Edition does a great job of making one of the best-looking HD era games look even better.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition – Other New Features

Other next-gen enhancements might not be so welcome. On the PS4 version tested you can use a headset microphone or PS4 camera to use voice commands, but there’s not really much reason to say ‘bow’ or ‘rifle’ instead of pressing the appropriate button, and the game has a nasty tendency to pause or switch weapons when you don’t actually want it to. Tomb Raider also routes some sound effects to the Dual Shock 4’s built-in speaker, but rather than extend the feeling of immersion, we’d say this actively spoils it.

Unplug your camera and turn off that effect, and you have a fantastic version of an excellent game. We’d like to see more puzzles in the next Tomb Raider title, and ones not restricted to the optional tombs, but this is the first modern Tomb Raider game to match Naughty Dog’s work with Uncharted – and in some ways occasionally surpasses it.

Should I buy Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition?

But here’s the rub. If you have an Xbox One or PS4 and you’ve yet to play Lara’s latest, now’s your chance. This is one of the best games on the new consoles. If you have played through already, though, then you’d have to be a huge fan to pay 40 odd pounds just to play it again.

It’s not that it’s not worth the money, or that we haven’t enjoyed a second soujourn to the Dragon’s Triangle, but with so little actual new content wouldn’t you rather save your cash for a whole new game?

Verdict

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is an often-stunning visual upgrade of last year’s Lara Croft adventure, and one that only enhances a brilliant game. There’s not enough new material to justify paying full whack for a return visit, but if you have a next-gen console and haven’t played the game already, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is a must.
