How to unlock the Master and Apprentice achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
This can be started through the Endurance Mode, selecting Co-op.
Any difficulty is allowed, I suggest Adventurer, the easiest.
Namely, one question I had was, you have to COMPLETE 10 days, ie reach the 11th day before extracting.
Helpful cards include Tomb Raider (for the codex skills which allow you to see traps in the tombs), either infinite fire or poison arrows (I had equal success with both).
Look for and pick up a lantern (usually near a settlement or basecamp) and keep this with you for guaranteed warmth at all times. Leave this at the entrance of a tomb or you will not be able to get it back up in most cases.
Pointer on finding Tombs/Crypts: always move AWAY from other landmarks you have found, we spread out from each other a bit and pretty much just ran in parallel in the same direction away from the bobcat until we found another Tomb.
In the Tombs, use Tomb Raider sense (or whatever it's called, press RS) frequently, this will help you avoid the traps (they show up red if you have the codex skills). All traps can be triggered ahead of time by arrows, this is recommended, especially the floor spike traps which seem to have a larger trigger stamp when not yet triggered.
Once you have obtained all of your artifacts I recommend that you pick a tomb and stay in it with your lantern, venturing out only to hunt for food. You need to hunt ~2x per day in order to not starve, otherwise, you can hang out, care free at the entrance. (Credit to Warrz98 for his solution to Team Survival).
This can be stacked with single player challenges such as Great Haul (10 days, 10 artifacts), or the 7 day challenges (Bonding Time, etc.).
Challenges: Master and Apprentice
Recommended Cards: Toxicity/Blazing Inferno/Boomtown, skill outfits (Tomb Raider, Hope's Bastion, Immortal Guardian), Bloodlust, Hotblooded, Small Game Hunter
This is the most time consuming trophy in Co-op Endurance. Much like the "Great Haul" trophy from single player Endurance mode, you must survive until Day 11 with at least 20 artifacts of any kind. You should also complete challenges like Adventure Besties and "Teamwork" with this one. It will take around 2 hours to complete with each day lasting for around 12 minutes.
You can play Adventurer difficulty with infinite arrows of any kind to make combat trivial so you only really need to focus on food and warmth if you do get downed you can restore your lives spent reviving by finding Codex and Bow part in Crypts which you will be looking out for anyway.
- Start off by stocking up on supplies, wood, cloth, healing herbs, find a lantern which is essential and ensure you keep your food bar maxed out, or close to at all times.
- Looks for Crypts to collect 20 Artifacts of any kind, you will need to search 4-5 Crypts to find enough, leave your lantern at the entrance with so you don't accidentally break it.
- Find any signal fire and start killing all nearby animals for food.
- Idle here but make sure to keep an eye on your food meter and eat any of the nearby animals when needed. I was able to continuously farm animals in the same spot as they kept spawning in, you can save them for later but some do eventually de-spawn when there are too many on the screen.
- Stay around your lantern and partner so you don't get colder and watch out for hostile animals such as bears or wolves that may spawn and try to attack you, quickly take them out with Poison arrows.
Once you have reached day 11 light the signal fire, where you will likely get attacked by a few enemies, grab the rope when the helicopter arrives to end the game and complete the challenge.
