Perform a 2.5 second or longer swan dive

How to unlock the No Guts, No Glory achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

This Achievement can be obtained in the Geothermal Valley next to the Ridgeline Base Camp which can be accessed either before or after exiting the Archives mission.

To the right of the Camp then is a ramp that will be used to perform the swan dive. Back away from the ramp and click cn_LS in to sprint towards the ramp, as soon as you hit the edge hit cn_A and then quickly tap cn_LT to perform the correct dive.

This might take a few attempts because of timing but if you fail simply reload back to the Camp and try again.

I'm convinced this is bugged now. I can only get the pencil dive, not headfirst swan dive. Very frustrating.

Hey guys, I think the angle you approach and jump off the ramp is important, I couldn't get it until I made sure to aim more toward the middle-left part of the ramp to jump. Once I did that I got it on my first try.

Had a lot of trouble this, but got it by sprinting off the small edge of the cliffside beside it on the right, not the actual platform. Then it worked first time!

@DAGGER097 thank you for your comment, mate! Tried about 20 times from the ramp with no success. Went to the cliff (on the left side though) and not to the ramp and got it with no hustle, on my first attempt.

So no matter what I've done nor how long I have done a Swan dive for I can not get this to unlock. I'm not overreacting either, tried all the other ways from the comments and had no luck, even dove for 5 secs and counted and nothing :(

Same as the other achievement. You don't have to sprint. Sprinting has absolutely no effect on how far you jump. A game tip in the beginning of the game explains that.

this makes me sick. an achievement based off poor gameplay mechanics + RNG.... i have done this dozens of times and still nothing. i have tried sprinting, not sprinting, different angles etc and nothing works... she only wants to pencil dive, but not even immediately.

I tried it a few times with sprinting, and it only did the pencil dive for me. Then I tried it without sprinting at all, I think I even stood still, it triggered the swan dive for me and the achievement with it...

I just got this by walking to the right of the platform, hitting A to jump, then immediately holding B. I couldn't get it to work with LT.

Just jump from the cliff next to the ramp, it works like a charm there. Still counts for the dive challenge FYI.

Can anyone explain how far into the story you need to be to access this area? For me it's blocked off with spikes and im worried i've missed the base camp and now it's just locked away..

Thanks to WildwoodMike for the tip - I could not get it to work in >30 attempts trying to hit LT, but I got it first time hitting B.

Hitting B immediately after jumping and you should get it first try.

Had to fully erase all my save data for the game, also redownloaded my profile and hard reset my console as a precaution before the attempt and it FINALLY unlocked. Was able to do the swan dive when you reach the geothermal Valley for the first time when you need to climb the building for to light the fire.
Here's where i got the achievement to unlock.

If you have any bugged achievement i suggest you erase all save data as last resort (Score attack scores and expedition cards/credits are server side so not effected but would get score attacks done before deleting save data).

Yeah this one is permanently screwed. Tried going to the left and the right dozens of times. Tried the save delete and resync. Tried the save delete, profile delete, and still nothing works. Not that surprising seeing how multiple achievements in this game (and the one before it) are completely broke.

Ok so I finally got it. Don't sprint. Don't use the board. Use the rock to the right side of it, jump and hold LT. Then reload checkpoint after about 10 seconds and WAIT for it to pop (if it doesn't pop automatically).

Just want to confirm that ignoring the ramp and jumping from beside it will still count towards the High Diving challenge.

I just wasted an hour of my life before finding this. If you are struggling with this, as myself and many others did, try this solution; walk to the right of the ramp and jump directly off the cliff, quickly tap LT. I got it first try. The video demonstrates this. Full credit to PowerPyx on Youtube. https://youtu.be/YZIDTzAc2dU

This achievement won't unlock no matter what I do. Seems to be like a corruption issue. Any ideas for resolving this in fastest possible way. New game? Don't really want to erase all my save data.

Edit: Done a new save game and have done a speedrun through the story to get to the point to access the waterfall diving board area and still the achievement won't unlock after doing the swan dive multiple times. Any ideas please.

I am not looking for credit with this, just taking it out of the comments and making it more accessible as a solution because it helped me complete an in game challenge!

I struggled with the first jump and eventually got it on my 10 or 11th attempt, I then found DAGGERO97's comment and I managed to swan dive the other 3 jumps (for the challenge High Diving in the Geothermal Valley) on my first attempts - I actually jumped off to the left of the platforms!

This can be attained in Geothermal Valley closest to the Ridgeline Base Camp which can be accessed after progressing to this area during the story. This base camp is located at the top of a waterfall and just off to the side you'll notice a wooden platform that pokes out of the side of the cliff edge.

Get a running start (cn_RSc) towards the platform, jump (cn_A) once you reach the end, and quickly enter the swan dive by pressing cn_LT. If done with the correct timing, Lara will enter the swan dive downwards and unlock the achievement upon hitting the water.

If you fail, climb out of the water, ascend the hill and try again.

This is not a guide, but help to get the game mechanic to work. I seen a lot of people give advice but this is what worked for me.

I struggled performing a swan dive. What I found, at least for the XBOX, was to jumpcn_A and them move the left stick cn_LSu forward and at the same time press the cn_B button. Also I did not run and this worked every time for me.

Good Luck

To the right of the Camp then is a ramp that will be used to perform the swan dive. Back away from the ramp and sprint towards the ramp, as soon as you hit the edge hit  X and then quickly tap O  to perform the correct dive.

This can be done at the waterfall near the campfire/base camp called "Ridgeline", which is in the Geothermal Valley. There's a little diving board on top of the waterfall. Jump down the cliff just one step to the right of the diving board (not from the board itself) and immediately press and hold to do a swan dive. If you don't get it on the first try reload the checkpoint to be back at the campfire. When you jump off the board directly it sometimes doesn't work. Jumping off the cliff to the right makes it a bit easier.

This achievement will come naturally in the course of working towards the challenges in the Geothermal Valley region, which include completing four dives from a high location. One of these will take place near to the Ridgeline base camp and take longer than the 2.5 seconds required for this achievement to complete. Look for a board above the waterfall a short distance from the camp; once you've found it, sprint towards the board and jump then dive (with  quickly after jumping) as you reach it.

Here's a video guide taken from YouTube:

You should jump to the right of the bridge as in the video above...

I cannot agree with the above comments! You have to jump from the bridge! not nearby!
The thing is that you need to press X on the bridge itself (essentially before reaching the end) and then press L2/

Jump X + O immediately after the jump, almost simultaneously. all other manipulations only lead to a “soldier” jump

We stand on the edge of the bridge, press jump (x) and then move the left stick in the direction of the jump, tobish forward + L2, with a run-up, etc. nothing helped

It’s not a matter of where to jump from, you just don’t need to run up, and before jumping you only need to take two steps

I took this trophy in the Soviet Base location when I completed the Unlucky mission. There you have to climb very high on the rocks. As soon as he completed the task, he ran up to the cliff and jumped. The trophy fell out. No from the platform, I jumped with a running start, the main thing is to have time to press L2 when jumping so as not to fall like a soldier.

To jump with a swallow, you need to press X and immediately while on the bridge! (NOT TOGETHER AS WRITTEN IN THE HINT BELOW!!!) For the test - "Jumping from a great height", in order for a tent and a ladder to appear on the tower, you need to complete the quest - "Defensive Strategy".
The exception is the base camp - “Mountain Range”, here you need to jump from the beginning of the bridge, or to the right of it from the edge! Jumping from great heights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV88kg8byAA&t=29s Other tips are also not entirely correct!!! It is not necessary to jump from the bridge, you can do it nearby - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I744TcHM8Bk

With the highest jump, which is near the camp on the mountain, jump not from the bridge itself, but to the right of it!!! And instead , you can use "O"
