This Achievement is obtained using the well within the Geothermal Valley, from the Base Camp you first encounter proceed into the village where you will see a well, behind the well is a small building/shack which can be accessed using the small crates to the front left of the building. Hop up onto the box and then jump up onto the ledge and make your way over to the left side of the awning, this is where you will jump from.

If you struggle to reach the top of the small building use the extended grapple to pull yourself up.

Back up as far as you can get and click the

to run, as you hit the edge hit

to jump and then quickly tap

to perform a swan dive into the well below.

This might take a few attempts and timing is crucial but it is definitely achievable.

Thanks to DeltaPhoenix08 for showing me where and how to get the Achievement.

The below video shows how to get the Achievement.

the secret is pressing Y right after pressing A to jump...

By SneakyStabbalot on 16 Nov 2015 17:30

Pull LT much quicker than you'd think.

By thomaskorat on 20 Dec 2015 09:04

Just did it WITHOUT sprinting (no left stick click).

Every time I sprinted she would do a pencil dive, first time I did it without sprinting she did the swan dive and achievement unlocked.

By AG Bucky Barnes on 20 Jan 2016 12:13

Yep, you don't have to sprint.

By DOXSIS on 11 Feb 2016 19:29

Disliked for OP saying you have to sprint. Tried multiple times without it working. Got it on the first try after reading JKSullivan's comment. +1 to you, -10000 to the OP.

By A1ienspacebats on 23 Jan 2017 21:22

@A1ienspacebats

I'm simply saying how I got it, and you can see that clearly visible in the video.

217 users clearly agree but whatever works for you I guess....

By Deranged Asylum on 24 Jan 2017 17:38

i found i went into a pencil dive when i tapped LT but when i pulled and held LT, she went into her swan dive no problem and the achievement popped. i don't think i sprinted either.

By onnabugeisha x on 02 Feb 2017 02:01

itreally doesnt work with sprinting. tried 10 times, looked at the comments and bam, no sprinting and on my first try i got the achievement. thanks guys

By stepanek on 13 Feb 2017 15:16

> click the cn_LS to run,
the game tells you in the first minutes that sprinting doesn't extend your jumps
FFS

By HerrKätzchen on 28 Jul 2017 02:09

I struggled with this for a long time. All you have to do is press A and LT - simple - but I just couldn't do it. I decided I needed to practice diving. I went to the river between the waterfalls, ran to the bank (didn't sprint), pressed A then LT to do a perfect swan dive. Immediately went back to the cabin roof and did a dive into the well. Achievement unlocked. I think it must be psychological, diving into a well is odd whereas diving into the river is natural.

By Harry Alphabet on 30 Jul 2017 19:52

You don't have to run. Like ComboChrist says, in the beginning of the game a game tip tells you that sprinting doesn't have any effect on how far you jump.

By Kennyannydenny on 29 Aug 2017 11:08

sprinting voids the swan dive, which is required for the achievement. this should be omitted from description.

By TheAnonymity on 02 Feb 2018 04:43

can confirm don't sprint!

By Doc Simpson on 04 May 2018 13:26

Thanks!And Thanks to onnabugisha for tip of holding LT not taping LT.

By AirNath on 06 May 2018 05:01

i can not get this for the life of me...so wait no sprinting? ill try it when i get home. this one would be great to get just cause it annoys me i havent got it.

By foreverzerov2 on 05 Jun 2018 15:51

Thank you FatalBrush and crew. The not running is the key. Just A and then LT

By Lord Betus on 09 Jun 2018 04:32

I did it from the window ledge in the nearby stone structure. No need to run (can't there anyway). It took me a few goes but it was when I hit LT almost immediately after hitting A that it worked.

By lotusfrog on 20 Jul 2018 07:40

Hold LT bro, not tap! You should change the solution

By j wizite on 12 Aug 2018 02:03

Best possible way. Run, press A *IMMEDIATELY* after, hold LT. Worked like a charm. 👍

By nirvana8193 on 20 Aug 2018 00:09

You can do this with LS pushed in, you just have to be very quick when you tap LT. Seems as though the walking gives you a little bit more of a window to pull LT. (I got achievement on ls/lt)

By Onsidic on 28 Aug 2018 03:25

@lotusfrog this is such a better way

By Seitzz on 10 Sep 2018 12:46

@Harry Alphabet

THANK YOU for explaining it correctly.

By Heurist1c on 20 Oct 2018 00:28

@thomaskorat Thanks, that helped me. I was pressing LT too late. I saw your comment, and then tried pressing LT pretty much right after pressing A, and it worked.

By Fl0ydPinkert0n on 10 Feb 2019 02:32

Very janky and un-tomb raider like this one +1 for solution though

By Bishop Brenan on 10 Dec 2019 22:34

Not running was the key for me. Just move in the direction, then A/LT.

By Sashamorning on 05 May 2021 00:36

Whoever said not running, +1 for him/her.

By szogyenyi1993 on 18 Sep 2021 06:19

Hi. Same issue for me. I successfully swan dive from roof and from window of the near building at leas 30 times... Achivment didn't pop up. I play on series x console.

By HillyLoki001 on 02 Jun 2022 20:48

I found the best way to do this was to jump without sprinting and then hold the B button down once in the air, got it first try

By masterelliot994 on 13 Aug 2022 13:26

It’s not bugged, you just have to actually dive.

Go up the house, just walk to the edge and press A at the same time as LT. You should get s diving animation and nothing else. Pops instantly

By Lirilesh on 18 Aug 2022 20:10

Another buggy achivment! Initially try I try more then 100 times in every position and every combination. Nothing...
Delete all the saved files. Replay the game from the begining. When I arrive in the "valley" found the wheel and jump A+LT press . Achivment pop up from the first try.

By HillyLoki001 on 02 Dec 2022 02:55

People need to know that you have to do a full dive into the well or it won't work. Not only you have to dive into the well but you have to see Lara dive enough in the water. Because if you dive and like go back to the surface imediately, it won't work. That's what happened to me. Did a full dive and then it worked. Hope it can help some people.

By CM Trance on 03 Dec 2022 21:15

If you have a Pro Controller, put LT on the second setting, and you'll get it in a second...

By EcstaticData88 on 14 Jan 2023 01:10

You do not "tap" the LB. You hold it down.

By Empty D on 19 Mar 2023 19:26

Thank you HillyLoki001 for your comment. Same thing happened to me on Series X and the only way to get this was to delete all save data and replay the game to the point you reach the well which was about 2 hours on easiest difficulty. Popped on my very first attempt on a new save file.

So for anyone reading, the achievement itself is a bit finicky to get the proper dive animation, but it also can completely glitch and require a fresh playthrough to unlock.

By Danny Bizz on 02 Jul 2023 17:45

Holding LT after hitting A (without sprinting) pop this on my second try.

Thank you!

By Ohh Werd on 12 Jan 2024 13:16

Ohh werd - could not get this too work until i tried your method. Perfect thank you👌

By KATAKL1ZM on 26 Feb 2024 11:36

I just did the achievement and I tried it with running ("clicking"

) and then jumping, followed by tapping

quickly but that did not work. However, NOT running and jumping as usual, followed by a quick tap

did get me the achievement. Note: the two jumps look different. One is actually diving (head towards the ground) and the other one is "standing" with the arms crossed (head towards the sky).

By FatalBrush on 12 Dec 2015 14:12

I just confirmed that this works both sprinting and normal running. Also you can use the B button to initiate the dive which might feel a little more intuitive. After multiple failures, i think the key is to be perfectly aligned with the well BEFORE jumping...in other words ONLY hold the control stick forward during the whole jump. If you have to do any mid-air horizontal movement to try to make it in, that seems to void the dive animation.

By Iceman2pnt0 on 25 Sep 2018 00:52

Not sure about pressing Y after jumping - I did not - but I can confirm you do not have to click

to run. I tried several times at a run and failed, and the time I actually pulled it off I did not.

By JKSullivan on 05 Dec 2015 00:19

Anyone recently unlocked this on a Series X / One X? I've done it about 50 times, each with the successful forward dive motion like in the videos, trying it from the roof and each of the window options. Holding LT and tapping LT. Nothing popping on my Series X.

Update: Tried this on a One S as well. Still not popping - have tried on multiple save files, in Expedition mode, and across multiple consoles and nothing. Seems to be totally glitched - very strange. Anyone had this experience? Only thing I can think of now is to completely delete all of my save data and run through the game to get here...

Well is located in the center of the small village in the Geothermal Valley (the nearest base camp is Valley Farmstead). Check the video above to find the exact location of the roof you have to use. Jump forward and as soon as you are in the air press LT or B to do a dive animation. Good timing is the key so it will probably take you a couple of tries. If you don't have a rope yet, use boxes to get on the roof.

Awesome Guide. Thanks

By Tired Revoker on 09 Nov 2015 23:16

I may be doing something wrong, but every time I try this no matter when I press LT or where I jump from, Lara crosses her arms over her chest and hits the water feet first. I have done it around 20 times and I have not seen a dive.

By Metallian2008 on 13 Nov 2015 19:44

If you get that other diving animation, it means you were too late with the second button press. You can try using B button instead of LT.

By wrog on 13 Nov 2015 19:51

I know this may not be super helpful to most people, BUT... if you happen to be using an elite controller, I'd definitely suggest turning on the hair trigger lock for LT. I was having the same issue as Metallian2008 above and I would keep getting the animation where she crosses her arms over her chest until I did that.

By Herr Murphy on 17 Nov 2015 01:13

Had the same problem as Metallian2008. Pressing

instead of

worked for me on the first attempt. Thanks wrog! So the solution should be: click

, jump with

and then quickly press

By SanJol on 01 Jan 2016 21:27

SanJol's method worked for me first time, compared to the 20+ tries with the

method. Thank you SanJol!

By penitent7angent on 19 Feb 2016 00:59

I did this 1st time from the 3rd window of the grey building to the right of the well...after trying 1000 times from the shack roof and the 2nd window (and failing).

By Captain Chao5 on 20 Apr 2016 19:58

Got it first try with B immediately after jumping.

This achievement can be done in the Geothermal Valley after making some progress through the story. Fast travel to the Valley Farmstead Base Camp, and nearby you will find a small village with a few houses and a large well in the middle. Near the well, you'll spot a shack with some boxes to the left of the entrance which you can jump onto with a sprinting start. Once on the boxes, you'll be able to make your way onto the roof of the shack, You can also use the extended grapple if you're struggling with this method.

Once on top, line yourself up with the well and give yourself as much running space as possible while making sure to leap from the ledge closest to the well. Sprint (

), jump (

) as late as possible and quickly press

to dive. If done correctly, Lara will dive into the well, otherwise try again.

The well is located in the Geothermal Valley. You can do this anytime you want after you reach this area. You can do this also after beating the story in free roam mode. To dive in the game you have to push LT (left trigger) immediately after you jump, if all correct Lara will dive.

There are a lot of location from where you can jump into the well, the house from the other solutions is not the only location. In my video I will show you four different places from where you can do this. Here is also a picture for the people where prefer Text+Picture instead of videos.

The window (2) worked first time for me, much better than that stupid roof everyone else was suggesting!

By Elyoh on 24 Dec 2015 08:22

Definitely the best and most straightforward solution.

By CompanyOfWolves on 03 Jan 2016 10:47

I tried the roof solution a zillion times without success, tried your solution (#1) and got on the first try!

By COUTOO on 19 Jan 2016 21:53

Same as COUTOO, could *not* get that roof to work...first time from here :D Thanks :D

By VyzieTaur on 04 Mar 2016 17:04

You rock. The roof was such a pain and after about 20 failed attempts, I was able to get it on second attempt in your location 4 which is shown first in your video. Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

By STUBER33 on 07 Apr 2018 21:17

Me ajudou muito, estava tentando saltar do telhado sem sucesso. E depois que assisti o seu guia saltei onde não precisei correr para saltar, e rapidamente deu certo. Obrigado pelo seu guia.

By JosueTorquato73 on 27 Feb 2020 13:42

Much better solution, found the window (Location 2) super simple. No need to run. Agreed with Daelus1 that pressing A and LT simultaneously is the best method.

By Stouty108 on 03 Dec 2022 10:43

Thanks, the window is a much better location than trying to get on that building; and it kills the myth about having to run to do it. For any having problems, what worked for me is pressing jump and LT at the same time....not after (feet first) not before (aim weapon).

By Daelus1 on 28 Dec 2015 12:43

I use #4 location, easier to jump from there.
Just want to point out that you need to release the A botton before pressing LT or she will dive-foot instead of dive-head.
Try many times before realize that.

Thanks.

You'll find wells in a few locations, but for this achievement, fast travel to the Valley Farmstead base camp in the Geothermal Valley, where there's a well a little to the north of the base camp. Here, climb onto the metal roof of the building to the north of the well using the crates near to the door, back off as far as possible from the well (which isn't far), then sprint towards the well, then jump and dive (with ) as you reach the edge of the roof to execute a dive and unlock the achievement.

Here's a video guide taken from YouTube:
