How to unlock the Siberian Ranger achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

I haven't explored the whole map after completing the game, but I'm pretty sure this is the fastest "circuit" for obtaining this achievement. Each "lap" grants you 3 enemy encounters (2 if some enemies fail to respawn) in a couple of minutes.

External image

(1) Fast travel to "Logging Camp" Base Camp, in Soviet Installation.
(2) Go to the central structure. There are 4 enemies camping in the right side of the building.
(3) There are 2 enemies patrolling around the rocks southeast of the first group of enemies (they may be northeast sometimes). They may attack you while you are fighting the first group, but they'll still count as a separate encounter.
(4) Go to the Copper Mills entrance, where you'll find 4 more enemies.
(5) Go to "Copper Mills Yard" Base Camp and fast travel to "Logging Camp" again. Repeat the process.

Sometimes, the third group of enemies doesn't spawn, but it will be there in your next "lap". With this method, you'll obtain the achievement in around 10 minutes.

Just a small correction , the base camp for the starting point is actually called "Logging Camp" in my game

Thanks, changing it now. My game is in Spanish and the camp name in english translates to "Forest camp", so that's why I made the mistake.

this achievement stuck for me at 14/15. I kill lots of groups of enemies after completing the game, but it just got stuck :(

tks but this did not work for me, enemies don't re-spawn as often as described. The other solution listed works a little better but still took me over an hour because sometimes enemies don't re-spawn as often regardless.

10 minutes is not correct. Closer to an hour. The people did not count with my kills. SO, I tried to melee, arrows, guns. Some would count, others would not.

Nice route! Took about 20min for me cos the load times are so long. Sometimes I had to search for the spawns but I could usually find atleast two groups every time.

This route is a good way to farm enemies but the progression can be blocked, It is at 80% for me and I have killed like 100 enemies since then. I hope it will unlock soon.

Edit : Got it the next day, it didn't pop but I had it

Stuck at 87%. Another buggy achievement in this game. Shocker.

I was stuck at 87% too (13 combat encounters).
I was able to unlock it by doing the two last combat encounters in another save file (Extreme survivor difficulty, I doubt the difficulty matters tho).

@ Zyuwnage - when you say another save file did you copy a safe or start a new game? Did you have to replay the whole game to 100%?

I realise I wasn’t clear here. Did you have to finish a whole new game and then make two “post game encounters” or just load a new game and they popped early on? Assuming and dreading the latter

Worked perfectly, got this within 10 minutes! :)

Some things worth noting for people who are taking an hour:

- Make sure you fast travel between camps where the blue line is, the enemies respawn instantly 100% of the time.
- There is another group of enemies that spawn north of point number 3, if nobody spawns anywhere else they are almost guaranteed to spawn there. Outside the cave leading to the challenge tomb, south of the Sheltered Ridge base camp)

Keep switching between these places (in this order,after last location start from the top again) :

-siberian wilderness (there is only 1 camp), walk a little bit down and you will see a group of people. Sometimes when it`s day they are a little bit more to the left.
-soviet installation (lumber camp), walk to the big building in the middle of the map and there will be people in it.
-soviet installation (the goelag camp/ basecamp at the top of this map), walk through the gate and there will be some people there.

ps. sorry if some camps are not named 100 percent correctly....my xbox is set on Dutch so i needed to translate it to english for this message.

I had more success with the Siberian Wilderness - there seemed to be a group of guys every time I fast traveled there. I had less success with the Gulag Base Camp. Thanks for the guide!

There's also always a handful of guys at the Citadela Plaza base camp in The Lost City. Those guys are easy to knock off with poison arrows.

Good areas to find enemies are around the Soviet Installation enemies can be found at the Sawmill, north east of the sawmill near a cave entrance, and East of the Sawmill when heading towards to old mine as well as enemies spawning on the upper levels of the bulding.

Another location for enemy spawns is just before you reach the research base usually 4 or 5 enemies spawn here and finally The Lost City the camp-fire just after the first gate you destroy with a trebuchet 4 or 5 deathless spawn here.

After completing the game, groups of enemies will continue to respawn in certain locations; this achievement calls for you to defeat a total of 15 such enemy groups. The Siberian Wilderness and Soviet Installation regions are examples of areas where you'll find respawning enemies, but there are plenty of others. Be warned that there will frequently be one enemy in these groups armed with a flamethrower, who can pose a significant challenge!

After finishing the story, you can still find enemies in the open world because they will just keep respawning. I farmed all my combat encounters in the Siberian Wilderness Region. Each time I fast travelled there the enemies respawned near the campfire so just go around the area, shooting in the air with a rifle to lure the enemies, then kill all of them, fast travel away and fast travel back to the Siberian Wilderness. Repeat this process until you have wiped out 15 enemy groups. You can kill them quickly with explosive and poison arrows.

After completing the game, in the locations “Siberian Wilderness” and “Soviet Base” (mainly in its central part) you can consistently stumble upon patrolmen. We just go back and forth between locations and make progress on the trophy.

Killing a pack of wolves also counts as a “skirmish”, it’s convenient to boost at the “Soviet Base” - the base camp location, there are one or two groups of soldiers + there is a cave with wolves nearby, then we move to the “Siberian Wilderness” and take out one detachment there.. . Then back to the “Soviet Base”, we get the trophy quite quickly.

Unlike the previous part, where it was difficult to find people after completing the story, here everything has been much simplified. In the locations "Siberian Wilderness" and "Soviet Base" (mainly in its central part), you can consistently stumble upon patrolmen. We just go back and forth between locations and make progress on the trophy. Along the way, you can knock out other trophies related to the murder.
