SHADOW OF THE TOMB RAIDER Cheat Codes: ------------ Submitted by: David K. New Game Plus: -------------- Once a player has completed Shadow of the Tomb Raider, they unlock the ability to play through a mode with all-new features called New Game Plus. Here, the work they have done will carry over into the next play-through. This includes Skills, Weapons, Outfits, Equipment Upgrades, and Gear. New Game Plus also unlocks three new Paths that Lara Croft can master, each tailored to fit a particular gameplay style: * Path of the Serpent: features an emphasis on stealth and subterfuge. Players take down enemies using sound and decoys to sow chaos. Mud and camouflage lets players lash out before slipping back into the shadows. * Path of the Jaguar: features an emphasis on hunting and combat, focusing on agility and close-ranged combat via knife takedowns. * Path of the Eagle: features an emphasis on traversal and resourcefulness. Observe enemies from afar, scouting out to plan the next attack. Traverse with ease, attacking enemies from long range. Each chosen path will unlock a variety of exclusive rewards that further compliment playstyle and gameplay. By selecting a path, players unlock mastery skills featuring a variety of unique new abilities. On top of new skills available, chosen Paths feature unique themed weapons and outfits. Easy "Thanksgiving" achievement: -------------------------------- First, buy the "Serpent's Glint" (green) skill to unlock the Flare Round attachment for the pistol. Then, fast travel to the "Mission Of San Juan", Base Camp "Ruined Tower" region. There are four turkeys running around the base camp in this area. Search around the ruined tower, as you may have to walk around a little bit before they spawn (they are usually sitting in the bushes and start running when you go near). Shoot a turkey with the pistol's flare round to get the "Thanksgiving" achievement. Note: When you acquire this skill, you automatically get a few flare rounds, but they can also be crafted. You can change your save slot before doing this and reload it to get the skill points back. Croft Manor – Bullseye – Challenge Walkthrough: ----------------------------------------------- You have to hit every target with a ball. Find one of the black balls scattered around the playground (they look like kettlebells) and throw it at each of the four archery targets. 1.As soon as you gain control of Lara, the three first targets are to your right. Target 1 is hanging on the trunk of a tree. 2.As soon as you gain control of Lara, the three first targets are to your right. Target 2 is hanging from a branch on a tree. 3.As soon as you gain control of Lara, the three first targets are to your right. Target 3 is standing on a tripod. 4.This one is in a slightly different location than the other two. In the back of the garden (behind Lara when you first gain control of her) there is a hammock. Target 4 is hanging from a tree branch above the hammock. Where do I find my savegames?: ------------------------------ Shadow of the Tomb Raider Savegames can be found here: Steam: X:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\[YOURUSERIDHERE]\750920\remote\ Peruvian Jungle – Ruffled Feathers – Challenge Walkthrough: ----------------------------------------------------------- Shoot down four oropendola nests to complete this challenge. The nests are brown, drop-shaped clusters of twigs, and can be found hanging from high places. 1.When standing where the crates with your gear fell down, face south east to see the nest hanging from a branch ahead of you. 2.When standing where the crates with your gear fell down, face west to see the nest hanging from a branch above an abyss. 3.When standing on top of the central rock structure near the pond by the wreckage (where one of the ropes holding your gear up is/was), face south east to see the nest hanging from a branch in front of you. 4.When standing on the top of the central rock structure near the pond by the wreckage, face north east to see the nest hanging from a branch ahead of you. You can jump onto the branches ahead to get closer if you want to, or you can shoot it from where you are standing. Getting the Lockpick and Rope Ascender: --------------------------------------- The Lockpick and Rope Ascender are unlockable gadgets. The Rope Ascender allows you to destroy heavy barriers. The lockpick allows you to open locked Conquistador treasure chests. These items are optional gear that you do not need to complete the main story. However, if you want to access every area and complete all puzzles, you will need them. To purchase both of them, play the "Find Takiy's Dice" side mission in The Hidden City. There is a boy sitting at the foot of the hill, close to the market square. Talk to him (Takiy), and he will tell you a dead man stole his dice. Lara will agree to look out for the dead man and get back the dice from him. The side mission requires you to talk to five outcasts. After talking to the first four, the fifth one will get marked on the map. She is a vendor that sells the two gadgets. They can be bought from her for a total of 6,100 gold. You may have noticed locked treasure chests early in the game that required lockpicks. You can fast travel back to those locations after completing the story and unlock the treasure chests. Getting the Reinforced Knife: ----------------------------- The Reinforced Knife is an unlockable gadget upgrade that allows you to cut through rope barriers. This item is optional gear that you do not need to complete the main story. However, if you want to access every area and complete all puzzles, you will need it. You can buy it from a merchant in The Hidden City (Paititi). The vendor is found in the market square (north of the bridge to the Upper City). The item to buy from her is called "Knife Upgrade" and costs 2,900 gold. Alternately, find an NPC on some stairs in the Upper City to begin the "Stay Of Execution" side quest. Successfully complete the quest to unlock the Reinforced Knife upgrade. Fast XP and Money Farm: ----------------------- Written by in Quick and easy way to boost your XP and cash. -=Intro=- As everyone noticed, this game has way less combat than previous couple entries in a series and it can get kinda difficult to level your character since the only one viable way of doing it post game is hunting or starting new game+. So if you're already done with a story and got bored of shooting those pesky birds to farm XP, or maybe you're still somewhere in a middle of it and need quick cash or couple skills unlocked for easier life, then you are in the right place. -=So What Do I Do? You May Ask=- Well, you go hunting. But instead of hunting birds/regular animals, you can force infinite spawns of special ones. As far as i noticed this way works only with rare birds. -=Things You Need=- First you will require campfire "Kuwaq Yaku Ruins" unlocked. You reach this location early in a game, plus it's the first place where you get access to merchant. As you can see in a screenshot below that campfire is right next to one. And also it has a spawn point of eagle nearby. Another important thing is "Egle's Grasp" skill in you Seeker skill tree. In description in says that it increases the chance of finding rare animal, but it also doubles the amount of animals that spawn. In this case you can get 2 eagle spawns every time. Optionally you should equip any outfit/part that gives extra xp for hunting or, if you need extra loot, the one that increases the latter. Or simply 2 special outfit parts that grants both bonuses. If you don't have them yet, that's not much of a problem. Without boost you get 85 xp for one eagle kill and 95 xp for kill with boost. Item boost grants only one extra eagle feather pickup. I can't 100% confirm this, but i think Hoatzin's Hunger skill might also increase amount of feathers pickup, but i could not test it since i had that skill unlocked already. -=Process=- What you wanna do is simply fast travel to this location. When you move couple meters towards temple entrance it will trigger eagles to spawn. As I mentioned above, if you got Eagle's Grasp unlocked, it's gonna be two birds all the time. If they don't spawn initially you may restart checkpoint or travel to other location(s) for a while. But normally they are there pretty much always. Now just kill them with a weapon of your choice. I recommend using pistol//rifle for faster process, but you can go with a bow if you like it. You will get 170-190xp depending on your oufit. Now if you want extra money you can run and loot eagles for feathers. Or if you need only xp then quickly turn around and use campfire, what forces game to save your progress. Now quickly back out of campfire and reload checkpoint via esc menu. Once again move couple meters towards temple and voila, eagles show up again. They'll keep respawning each time you reload cp. Simpy don't forget to save your progress by entering campfire each time as well. If you farm feathers too, once you fill your inventory, go to the merchant close by and sell them. It can net you a nice amount of 2,25k. From now on just rinse and repeat till you got enough xp/cash.
