Tomb Raider Mega Guide: Challenges, Unlockables, Secrets, and more

Tomb Raider was released yesterday and has been received really well with critics. The game has a ton of collectibles and it won’t be easy to get them all but our guide here will show you what exactly you need to do.

The game is about Lara Croft’s origin story. It’s developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix.

There are a lot of collectibles and challenges that you need to complete if you are aiming for 100% achievements. Most of these guides are straightforward and require you to watch the youtube videos.

Kudos to all the people who worked hard in creating these videos. Let’s start with the complete map guide.

Tomb Raider Complete Map

“This video shows you the map with all the locations of the collectibles: GPS Caches, Relics, Documents, Tombs, and Base Camps,” YouTube user XCVii007r1 has written.

“This is to be used in conjunction with the Cartography skill in the Survivor Skill Tree. You will need to unlock Tier III – it is the 9th skill. This skill allows you to use ‘Animal Instinct’ to reveal nearby collectibles on your map. They will be outlined with a question mark, which means it has not been collected. Collected items will be blackened out on your map.”

You can use the animal instinct ability to locate the items in the game easily. Check out the video below.

Challenges Guide
