How to unlock the To the Rescue achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
I strongly recommend that you do in fact complete that run before starting Run 2, freeing any prisoners you come across on the way (just to get that Voidhammer shotgun at least).
The reason? After spending 3 hours on my first run the first time playing this, trying to get Nadia to highlight my missing 6th prisoner, I did some research, and the number of available prisoners on the map increases the more runs you complete. From memory, I think Run 1 spawns 8, Run 2 spawns 15, and so on.
In doing this, my 360 and Windows 10 stacks both had all six prisoners marked on the map pretty quickly, including finding some on the way to the documents, both times with me finishing the map with 8-10 prisoners saved.
In doing this, following the walkthrough, you should have all achievements in the DLC completed in about 90 minutes.
Of course, make sure that you have the suitable challenge selected when going for this achievement, or it won't count.
Challenge to Select
- To the Rescue
As you go through this level, Nadia will tell you the locations of prisoners who need to be rescued. Rescue any 6 to complete this challenge. To rescue a prisoner, you must press or hold down . Every time you try going for this achievement, the prisoners will be in different randomized places.
Note:
- You must rescue the 6 prisoners before entering into the third tower
In order to unlock this trophy, you must pick the challenge first. The map will have prisoners locked up in cages. Freeing them unlocks Codex skills. Prisoners are randomly strewn across the map and you have to find them yourself, but once in a while you'll receive a radio message that a prisoner is nearby. This will mark a person icon on your map, indicating a location for a prisoner. Finding and freeing 6 prisoners will complete the challenge and thus this trophy.
Challenge to Select

Throughout the level, Nadia will tell you the locations of prisoners that need to be rescued. Rescue any six to complete the challenge. To rescue a prisoner, press or hold while standing behind them. The location of the prisoners are always different every time you play.

“ You don’t have to worry about it. From a helicopter they will tell you where the captives are. Besides, when you look for documents, you will find the captives. Set the main test .”
I strongly disagree in terms of ease. Personally, I only got this achievement the 3rd time. And only for the first time did the helicopter actively tell me the location of the captives while exploring the map. But, unfortunately, I did not choose the appropriate test at the beginning.
During the 2nd and 3rd attempts there was silence... Only 1 captive was pointed out to me by the helicopter out of 11 found in total in 2 attempts. And it got to the point of being funny, when you bump into a captive head-on, and the helicopter is silent. But he calls caches of weapons - don’t feed them bread.
So, what pattern of arrangement of captives did I discover: practically none.
Absolute random.
Well, except that underground (under the main pit, the center of the map) there is always 1 captive.
That's all.
Carefully inspect each car at the beginning of the map.
I will mark with red dots on the map (taken from here , thanks to leopard77 ) the places where I found captives in 3 attempts.
