Rise of the Tomb Raider

Requirements :
1 - Host must select the challenge
2 - Host must pick up the artifacts
3 - Players 1 & 2 have to stay together in each crypt
4 - Optional : Don't pick up small artifacts - only run for this achievement (took us 2-3 days)
5 - Stop at exactly 5 (no more !) - For us, we had a mix of 3 medium and 2 larges
6 - Host trigger the rescue fire. both must escape.

This achievement is annoyingly unclear and suffers from the game only counting the completion of the challenge for the person who selects it. This may not be the only way, but here's what we did:

My co-op partner and I made sure that the person who was hosting the match (Player 1) also selected the Adventure Besties challenge. Then that same person collected all of the artifacts while their partner (Player 2) killed enemies, carried a lamp for warmth, and killed animals to replenish food while Player 1 was inside a crypt.

***Make sure that Player 1 picks up all of the artifacts. This WILL NOT count if you try to combine Player 1 and Player 2's artifacts together and think you have enough.***

Player 1 will need to collect 5 medium artifacts AND 5 large artifacts. NOT a combination of 5 or 10. You need at least 5 of each. Medium artifacts are found in crypts that have the codices, and Large artifacts are found in crypts that have sarcophagi.

**UPDATE: A couple of folks have confirmed that they got the achievement by collecting a total of 5 medium and large artifacts (which is what the description implies). Some have said that it works with a combination of 5, others got 5 of the same type. I think this is how the achievement is supposed to work, but it did not unlock this way for my co-op partner and me. The people who have reported that this has worked have all collected at least 2 MEDIUM artifacts. Some collected 2 mediums and 3 larges, some collected 5 mediums. People who only collected 1 medium and 4 larges have reported that they did NOT get the achievement. I think the most important thing is that the host selects the challenge and then collects all of the artifacts himself/herself, but if it does not unlock for you with a total of 5 (including at least 2 mediums), you can try getting 5 of each like we did.**

Unfortunately, you can't tell what is in a crypt until you get about halfway into it. Because the spawns are random, you may end up needing to visit more than 10 crypts in your playthrough. My co-op partner and I had to find 14 before we had 5 of each artifact because the game kept spawning in sarcophagi instead of codices.

After Player 1 has collected 5 large and 5 medium artifacts, you need to light a signal fire, and you both need to extract successfully.

Both Player 1 and Player 2 will get the achievement after extraction if you did this correctly.

Hope this helps those of you having trouble. Let me know if anything needs clarification!

***Thanks to everyone who has posted their results with this. Thanks particularly to Lt Davo who noticed the pattern that people who got at least 2 medium artifacts tended to get the achievement. If more info becomes available or if they patch this, please do leave comments, and I will try to keep this up to date.***

It doesn’t matter who has the challenge selected as long as someone has it selected. One player has to collect a TOTAL of five! It CAN be a combination of medium and large artifacts. Verified 12/10/18.

This achievement seems to be glitched but unlocked for me when I collected just 5 medium artifacts. No small or large ones. The medium ones are the codices. Extract afterwards and it should unlock, Make sure to have the challenge equipped

Yo lo saque de la siguiente manera
1 Borre los datos locales del juego
Al momento de sincronizar le di cancelar
2 inicie como si estuviera en 0 en juego (esto lo hice porque cuando jugaba con mis datos salían más sarcófagos que codices)
3 al entrar a las criptas, entraba con mi compañero
4 el Host (osea el que quiere sacar el logro) es el que agarra todo (mediano, chico, grande)
5 al final salí con 11 códices y 5 sarcófagos.
Estuve casi 16 días en resistencia

Espero que a alguien le sirva

Consejos
1 cuando entren en la 1ra cripta tomar el camino de atrás al salir e ir derecho
2 no ir rápido, para que el mapa vaya cargando
3 casi siempre hay una cripta donde hay campamentos con enemigos, lobos y así
3 y al parecer sale una cripta cada día o cuando te salen 2 en un solo día te vuelve a salir otra cripta hasta dentro de 2 días después
4 no importa si tienes más de 5 ya sea sarcófagos o códice, lo importante es tener 5 de cada uno.

NOTE: While it's entirely possible that you won't have to meet my setup exactly in order to get this to unlock, it is also entirely possible that deviating from my setup will cause it not to. If you want to chance it in an attempt to save time and potentially risk having to spend another 3 hours, be my guest.

I went through 4 or 5 different runs from other solutions trying to figure out why this wasn't unlocking on the Windows version of this. I have no idea whether the Windows version broke something not affected on Xbox, or whether I simply hit a bug in some way, or what.

All I know is that in all of my attempts, only the one I'm listing here as working is what got me and the other player to finally unlock this.

I'll list my attempts below so that you can see what we tried and confirmed to not work for us;

With Adventure Besties challenge included with other challenges;

- A mix of Medium / Large artefacts with both players collecting them, totaling more than 5, but neither over 5, with small artefacts in the mix, did not work.

When Adventure Besties was the only selected challenge;

- 5 Large artefacts collected only by the host, with no medium and small artefacts, does not unlock this.
- 3 Large and 2 Medium, collected by the host with no small artefacts, while the other player went off to look for the next crypt, did not work.

Solution
On the last version of the game v1.1027.0.0 on 2022-10-31 for Windows, what finally got the achievement to unlock for us was the following setup:

- Adventure Besties was the only selected challenge, chosen by the host (me).
- Cards selected were Toxicity, Eagle Eye and Tomb Raider
- 0 Small, 5 Medium, 5 Large artefacts were collected, so 10 total.
- We did not keep an exact tally of which player collected how many of each artifact, but we're sure that I only collected 4 artefacts while the other player collected 6.
- Both players split up in the map from the start, so we were not in the same crypt or anywhere near each other when collecting the artefacts, breaking the theory that the host must collect the artefacts.
- The host lit the signal fire after collecting the artefacts. We managed to have it all done by Day 4.

We have a couple of theories as to why this unlocked when the others didn't, though by this point we were just fed up and ready to uninstall the game. Some theories include:

- Using the Tomb Raider card causes the Medium Artefacts to 'not count' since the skills don't get collected, and therefore breaking the possibility of being able to complete this challenge (I don't believe this to be the case as I'm quite sure someone would have discovered this after all these years)
- Despite the Large Artefact counter going up on the stats screen, the bow you unlock from the 4 bow parts only counts as 1 Large Artefact (this is more likely).
- It could just be buggy as **** and just a case of getting a lucky dice roll. Some ideas about things that cause it to break include having other challenges active or having another challenge active which involves escaping or Day 5.

All I can say, is that if you replicate the above setup that worked for me, then I don't see why it shouldn't work for you as well - and if it doesn't, then I guess it is just buggy and you have to keep trying. I do not believe a save deletion is needed.

Good luck.

Good luck!

I repeat this challenge 3 time for unlock this cheevo. For the previous 2 run, I follow the TA guide, but I was unlucky. After the second run I try with these requirements:

1_Disinstall and reinstall the game.
2_Erase the local save on console.
3_Who have to unlock the cheevo, must to be the host.
4_Host profile must to be in a on line mode, not invisible.
5_Host must to select only this challenge card, for escape with a total 5 medium and large artifacts. Only this card for both player.
6_Both players can select the skills cards.
7_Host must pick up the artifacts
8_Stay together in each crypt but not to close.
9_Pick up the artifacts as soon as possible.
10_Don't pick up small artifacts.
11_Stop exactly with a total of 5 medium and large artifacts (for me I had 1 large and 4 medium).
12_Host trigger the rescue fire.
13_Kill every enemy before escape.

With these requirements I unlock this cheevo.

Good luck.
