How to unlock the Perfectionist achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
It's not that hard to follow the instructions to deactivate each tower. It's always a question of verifyieng a condition and act in a way if it's confirmed or other way if it's not.
There are four types of conditions to check.
- What is the flag on the tower
(ex.: Is the flag german?)
- How many fuses are in the 3 fuse boxes of the tower
(ex.: Are the red fuses in the 3 boxes an odd number?)
- How many pipes of a certain colour is present in the tower
(ex.: Are there more the 2 red pipes?)
- How the lights of the furnace are acting - you need to open it to see the lights!
(ex.: Are the lights in the cylinder flashing all together?)
You'll have to attend one condition in the first tower you visit, two in the second and three on the last one. Don't rush on checking the condition. Sometimes Sofia will tell you to ignore her instructions because they're wrong. Be patient and check what was asked carefully.
There are three actions you can take after verifying one condition:
- Hope pull a lever
- Cranck a generator
- Reconect a conduit
Pay attention on the type of command you'll have to do (Water, Fire, Radiation or Toxic). They are colour marked and the instructions will always tell you the respective colour for the action you have to take.
It's just a matter of paying attention to the conditions and acting accordinly. Use the button to see a summary of the condition and actions on the top of the screen and hold it to hear Sofia explaning everything again.
Every time you deactivate a tower a bar will show your progress on the challenge (and achievement). If an alarm sounds after you did an input, start over.
Hope it helps. Please tell me why if you vote negatively on the comments...

This is a very simple achievement. Just take your time and listen to Nadia's instructions to make sure you get the right answer during the tower shutdown sequences. You can click on to view the question as many times as you need to. Triggering Survival Instincts does highlight what you are looking for and you can review everything by pressing .
In order to unlock this trophy, you must pick the challenge first. There are 3 toxin factories and Lara is tasked to shut down all 3. These 3 are main objectives so they are marked by the gold beacons and compass icons on your map.
To shut them down, you need to do a puzzle sequence involving levels and valves. The game will instruct you on how to shut down the factory so pay attention to the radio message, or hit Instinct to get a "popup" reminder.
Puzzles revolve around 4 colour-coded pipe systems; Water (Blue), Fire (Red), Toxin (Green) and Radioactive (Yellow). A puzzle involves finding one of the following:
- Finding a large gas cylinder and checking if the lights within are lit.
- Finding 3 fuse boxes and counting the number of red fuses.
- Checking for a country flag (Russian, German, Japanese, Cuban).
- Counting the number of pipes of a certain colour.
Then, depending on what you find, you do one of the following tasks:
- Pull a lever of a certain colour using rope pull.
- Turn a valve of a certain colour.
- Jump onto a pipe of a certain colour to pull it down and connect the pipes.
Once the task is done, the puzzle is solved. For any 1st tower you solve, you will need to solve 1 puzzle, but for the 2nd and 3rd, you need to solve 2 and 3 puzzles respectively. The puzzles are relatively simple, the annoying part is finding the right things to pull or check as the configurations spawn randomly within each factory.
Once you shut down all 3 towers without making a mistake the challenge is complete and the trophy will unlock immediately.
I was thrown back to the control point, where this Nadya again began her monologue. Most often the combination is like this:
1) We don’t believe
2) We don’t believe
3) We believe.
This happened to me.
