Rise of the Tomb Raider

Click RS to see what is near you and run to an area that has no icons. Without a map and the whole are being super confusing, there isn't a good way to find them.

Yeah that is what I was doing :( I'll try again later when I have more time. Sadly it seems you need to set aside 1 - 2 hours per attempt for this >.<' I have a feeling the insides of tombs may be randomly generated (MAYBE) so it could come down to a little luck too.

Did it. Patience is absolutely the key. I had to abandon 6 crypts before I finally got the achievement. So trust me when I say there are more than enough crypts to get this achievement.

God that was tense.

I think it does seem to be random spawns/map generator.. I got to edge but when I came back the way I came I was blocked by rock edge too... How long /many days did it take to unlock

could again but winning does not release at all, I not activated any trap and managed to free the challenge but winning does not release, I did not shoot the traps.

That is good to know. Thanks!

Cheers.. Last one I need for DLC then tackle the gold stars in main game

Morning off day 5.. 7 crypts it took me, which was painless

So you can actually trigger the pressure plates traps as long as you don't walk on the plate but shoot it ??

You can shoot the ones that trap your foot. The ones that cover the floor with spikes cannot be shot.

Man, it took me 9 days and 10 crypts to get it!

this is a complete joke....first i can never hardly find any crypts...and when i do lots of traps.....running around all over the place looking for crypts...and getting lost......is a pain in the ass...because i always run out of warmth....and never make it back to fires that are highlighted on time...a map card would be real helpful here...(i mean like playing the game for over an hour or so each time...and then get killed...by some cheap trap is a joke...)........i want to enjoy the game not get frustrated with it....another annoying thing is having to constantly re select all challenges, and cards after you die...could they not have made the game remember your last setup......seriously getting annoyed with this game right now

i have tried this 8 times now..(at least an hour on each try.....nearly 12 hours in total)...got killed by choose bloody big cats one time when i had 3 crypts done....and twice by traps....even when i was using well red card......i didn't see bloody foot trap twice.....and still having the same problem locating the crypts....i have done whats been suggested here and head for no icons on map....but i never seem to find them....always find the first one in first couple of mins.....its just by pure luck you find them and then an they might be riddled with those floor traps......this is ridiculously luck based achievement....the crypts should be in the same locations each time.....getting the all gold score on all levels was ten times easier than this.....one more try tomorrow if no luck wont bother with it

ERUDIT, pathfinder OR PIONNER CARD......was suggested by NeGo x MaTriX.....but how do i get them...do they come with endurance pack....or do i have to but cards...which packs???...if anyone could help me out with this that would be great..........i have over 350 cards but dont have any of thesse...thanks

I think those cards he listed are in another language. Anything with rank 3 skills in survival I think should do it. The tomb raider card unlocks all skills, or find an outfit that has all rank 3 skills with it.

I still scanned the floor every few feet. Traps will spawn on your way out some times too. Be careful of that.

This achievement is pissing me the fuck off with those stupid floor traps. Every time I jump perfect over them they seem to brake for no apparent reason. Plus I'm having trouble with One Way To Do It achievement that one is testing my patience. I'm just missing two achievements through out the game and these two are something else.

Worst achievement ever :-)

Thanks rayh271 I completed the Baba Yaga DLC I'm just missing the skillful raider achievement it's still a pain but I gotta get it that's my last achievement in the game.

I triggered the crumbling floor trap but didn't fall in - CHALLENGE FAILED!!??? It says "without getting caught in a trap" and I didn't get caught! Got killed by a bear anyway, but still...

Getting caught in the floor traps means death, so triggering them at all fails it. You can't even shoot them with arrows to clear the way. It's very lame, so just leave the crypt and find one without floor traps.

Unless I am mistaken if you trigger a trap AFTER picking up the Codex/Sarcophagi it does not fail the challenge. As you have entered the Tomb and collected the artifact it has already struck up as achieved for that tomb.

You have to get 5 without setting off a trap. I am pretty sure you do not get a pass on the trip out in crypts 1-4.

you cant set off the traps on the way out...this voids the achievement...happened to me...why risk it anyway....as i said before you can risk it on your first cyrpt...but not on the nxt 4...all that work....and then blow it on a bloody floor trap.....this should have been called the patience achievement or something like that...because that is how you get the awful achievement

Thanks, I must have been mistaken then. Got up to three last night then got caught by a damn bear!

Just got this on my first attempt. It's annoying, but it's not that bad. Just be patient and buff yourself up with some good cards. Don't take any risks. Sure it's boring. But it's better to be slow and do it once. Put on some music or a podcast or whatever. Have a friend come buy and hang out while you hack through and it'll be over before you can say screw this achievement.

They should call this achievement "Find five Crypts!!!! Signal fires - getting tons of them! Crypts, like hens teeth!

Seems like when you run far away, so the crypt marker disappears when you use survival instincts, they do reset, so you could farm like that

Can find barely any crypts. Is there any tips or video online because i'm not seeing any good video guide for this anywhere! I can find about 2 or 3 crypts with floor traps in about 30 minutes...come on how long am i supposed to run around in this mapless crappy mode waiting for a crypt to spawn and hope it doesnt have a floor trap...

This achievement is pile of garbage and I there aren't enough curse words in the English language to describe my disdain.

I was able to shoot the floor traps and still got the achievement - so appears the issue with floor traps voiding this have been patched.

Was it the pressure plate trap or the spike trap? The spike traps are the issue traps.

So can this be done on co op?? One person takes point and scans for traps and then you open the codex?

Not 100% sure, but I think co-op is separate from single player for achievements.

You can do all of the endurance achievements in co op.

They must have patched it because I was able to shoot ALL traps and not fail the challenge. You should update your solution.

I complète the challenge but no achievement. Fucking xbox

Dlc achievements are currently buggy. Try it in coop.

I shoot every single trap in co-op and solo. The challenge is complète but no achievement. I miss something ?

same here. also got the challenge completed but no achievement popped. goddamn tomb raider

Shot every trap and got the achievement no problem.

Shot the traps with arrows and use some good cards.

I'm going to try and see if I can shoot all the traps and get the achievement as people are reporting above.

I've just shot the swinging pressure plate spike traps and still unlocking for me!

The solution needs to be changed. All traps can be shot. People shouldn’t need to read the wrong info during the solution and then read the right info as an edit at the bottom on the top rated solution.

The achievement was glitchy for a long time. That's why I didn't update the solution for a while. It has been changed now.

Going on about a hour now... only found 2 so far

Who ever made this achievement needs to be fired. No end of glitches, awful, glitchy mode. No end of random things that auto fail the challenge without having anything to do with it! Not getting hit by traps also counts as getting hit by traps. Seems legit. I can't believe this entire mode was greenlit. All it does is highlight every single flaw the game has.

I point out that, after several attempts with 5/5 and active challenge, no goal for me. After suggestion of a user I deleted the save from everything, tried again and it worked! If you need play from Xbox One S

I was on day 2 or 3 when I did it. It depends on how your current loaded session is, but it can be pretty quick if you are lucky.

I was on day 3 Night or day 4 Daytime if I remember correctly. So I would say it takes between 40 minutes - 1 hour 20 minutes depending how lucky you are.

Yeah this achievement is shit! It's stupid that you can't shoot them in the first place, not to mention how many times I accidentally ran n one and it activated but the challenge didn't fail? Then I creep by some and they activate for no reason and fail. This is a lot harder than it should be. The real issue is how time consuming this is and I've about run out of patience for this DLC. Such crap.

i fell your pain.....just dont bother with the crypts that have floor traps..they are designed to make you fail.....just head back out....and find new ones....i had to enter 9 cyrts before i got it....and it took me 8 in game days.....just follow my info above....use same cards as me.....and be patient....it may take you and hour or so.....

as for the one way to do it achievement.......use the Deep Freeze card, and the Immortal Guardian Master Outfit which grants you all skills if you want to do this challenge in a safe way.

Solution:
Select the Deep Freeze card, it is the key for the challenge/Achievement.
Don't forget to activate the Challenge "One way to do it." before starting the game.

Around the third day at night you'll be freezing, Lara will drop on her knees and start taking damage. When this happens, just shoot a Fire Arrow or trow an Lantern/Molotov directly bellow you, and the Achievement is yours.

Warning!
You'll most likely die while standing in the fire, but you'll still get the Achievement.
If you want to avoid dying, start with an Outfit that grants you all skills and Heal yourself before standing in the fire, the skill Strong Medicine will grant a you few seconds of invincibility which is enough to stand in the fire without dying and still completing the challenge.

Look on the forums. There seems to be some current issues with achievements popping in the endurance mode. Co-op seems ok, so maybe that glitched out the original ones?

I have just completed this with the save file delete trick, I had raider and skillful raider glitch on me, I deleted my save file loaded the game and cancelled the sync straight away, played and completed the challenges and the achievements popped. Just wanted to let anyone who had the same problem know.

keep trying you will get it.....its just kinda luck based...as i said it may take you over an hour or so to do it...i had to enter 9 crypts......but patience is the key here.....dont bother collecting any relics in the crypts either...just go straight for theC odices or Sarcophagi...dont bother doing anything else like killing soldiers or anything.....just keep running the opposite direction....until you see no icons on the screen....the game sort of quickly refreshes itself.....another tip is kill a few animals before entering crypts....so you have food when your finished....then onto nxt crypt...and so on....just keep repeating this.....if floor traps in cyrpt....trust me here...dont bother...just exit and on to the next....eventually you will find cypts without floor traps....most of these crypts....have a similar layout.....so you will become familiar with them....but renumber to scan every few feet....and also on way back out to....good luck guys

got it today on 3rd attempt.....the cards i used were
1.toxic (unlimited poison arrows)
2.well read (all codec skills)....shows up all traps in red after you scan area
3.immortal guardian master outfit
4.small game hunter (small animals give twice as much food)...very handy this one
5.en fugeo (on fire and can ignite enemies with melee attack).....i dont think laura can freeze when using this....but can die of hunger....not 100% sure on this...but i was in the red...hunger icon flashing for a coupe of mins while i exited the tomb...then just shot few animals after exiting to top up food

just a few more tips......just keep running away from icons completely until the map is blank to locate crypts

definitely avoid crypts with floor traps....unless its your first tomb....might be worth the risk...i did this on my first one....just dont go to close to edge of them....and time the jump....some you can jump from ledge to ledge to avoid them completely....some are easier than others

watch out for traps on way out of crypts as well....some times the traps re spawn...nearly got caught out myself...just scan every few feet on way back out to

you can get heat from lanterns as well...and also burning bins/barrels....these barrels are usually near camps....were multiple soldiers are.......i didn't know this when i started

try keep your hunger bar on max as much as possible.....shoot animals on the move.....pretty easy to kill animals....with the toxic arrows....and also if you use my setup...you will get twice the amount of food from small animals

i came across a guy with the flamethrower....you cant kill them with toxic arrows...so best to avoid

finally as said on here take your time....patience is the key....i found 9 crypts in total......before i got the last one.....and i didn't finish until day 8

hope this helps...and good luck

Finally got it this morning after 7 game days. Here's a few tips.

Although not vital, having the ability to see the traps highlighted red makes it easier, particularly for spotting the foot traps, The Tomb Raider or Well Read card will give you this ability unless you are lucky enough to get it from opening a codex or sarcophagus. If these cards are single use don't back completely out of the game, use the restart option so you don't lose it.

Carry a lamp wherever possible as it means that you don't have to search for a camp fire or burning barrel as much. This allows you to cover ground a lot more quickly searching for crypts.

If you keep finding crypts with floor traps then it might be worth just restarting the game as it seems to re-randomise them,

Steer clear of Bears and Mountain Lions, but if you do get caught use your poison arrows and if necessary a shotgun. I used two poison arrows to take a bear out.

Be wary around ruins, as I have found bears hang out a lot around them. I started to steer clear of those as well.

Keep moving as much as possible, but make sure you always have an eye on warmth. Make sure you know where you can warm up if you are not carrying a lamp. Crypts always have a campfire in the entrance but it cant be guaranteed if you come across one with a floor trap at the entrance.

Make sure you always top up your wood for fires and arrows.

I was able to complete this on my first attempt with minimal difficulty. A lot of the information in the comments is fairly outdated and references being unable to destroy floor traps, something that you can now do...

With this in mind, I'm going to provide some tips that helped me beat this:

1. EQUIP THE CHALLENGE!!! I can't stress this enough, if it's not equipped you won't get the achievement.

2. Equip the Who Needs A Map challenge, this will trigger every time you discover a crypt, letting you know there is one nearby and will make finding them much easier.

3. Make sure to equip the Well Read card, this will make traps glow red when using your senses.

4. Always enter a crypt with max food! With the slow approach you will be taking in exploring the crypt your hunger is going to drop quite a bit before you are finished. I was almost killed in my third crypt when my hunger became critical...

5. The Toxicity card is your best friend and will grant unlimited poison arrows.

6. Take it slow and make sure to check passages before you squeeze through them as traps can be very close on the other side. I was almost caught out right at the end of my fourth crypt by this. Luckily I spotted it just in time and was able to leap away from it

7. Carry a lantern around with you whilst exploring, this will prevent your temperature from ever dropping and removes one thing to worry about. When exploring a crypt leave your lantern at the entrance near the fire pit you will find at the start of every crypt.

8. Avoid bears, mountain lions and flamethrower units... All can be killed, but the damage they can inflict and time spent eliminating them simply isn't worth it. If you see them, head in the other direction.

Hopefully the above tips help you deal with this annoying and incredibly stressful achievement.

One final tip I will provide which doesn't directly relate to this achievement is for acquiring cards:

1. Only ever buy the bronze pack, whilst it might sound tempting to be guaranteed a rare card, the price is a huge scam for one main reason. You can only have a certain amount of duplicates of each card (between 3 and 5)... You are very likely to get common cards from the Bronze pack, but what happens when you have the maximum amount of common cards? You will no longer get them and will start getting only uncommon cards. And when you have all of those? You will only get rare cards...
This may take a little longer to get the cards you want, especially if they are rare... But you will save a considerable amount of credits in the long run and end up with pretty much every card in the game as a result!

I just cannot get this one to pop: challenge active, completed and bar filled, shoot all traps. I trigger none. Won't pop. I even deleted all of my saves, including cloud. Still won't pop. Any ideas?

Edit: I should mention I'm on Series X with 4K patch. Maybe it's now bugged because of that, like the others. Frustrating.

Edit Edit: Okay, finally got it! For people attempting in the future, follow these addditional steps:

- Do it on a One/One S if possible. Seemingly won't unlock on anything that has the 4K patch (Series X for example).

- if you have previous playtime on the game, make sure you delete your save! You don't have to delete the cloud save (and I'd advise against it, because you lose all progress), but the local save needs to be blank: Make sure the game isnt running. Have the game selected on the mainscreen and go to more options (three line button on Xbox)>Manage game and add-ons>save data>delete all>delete all confirm. Remember, this only deletes local saves so you can get all your campaign progress saves back later. Now boot into the game. Once you get to the menu, it'll try and sync Xbox cloud saves. Cancel this. Go into Survival and select/activate all suggested pre-requisites in the guides above. Do the challenge like normal and it should finally unlock once the last tomb is raided. REMEMBER, once this is unlocked, quit out of the game and close, go back to the save section and follow the previous steps and delete again from console. Boot back into the game and let it sync and all your previous save data should be back.

Hope this helps someone in future. Good luck!

@CommanderDrizzle, you have to run away from the tomb until its marker doesn't show up anymore when using the survival instinct. Once it has dissapeared, the tomb resets.

thanks! I will get on this..... it should be a million times easier now!

Just to confirm that you are now able to shoot the floor traps - just got the achievement by doing this so it appears that the issue with floor traps voiding this have been patched.

So can this be done on co op?? One person takes point and scans for traps and then you open the codex?

I tried 4 times running back to a tomb. Traps reset, but the treasure isn't respawning.

I agree with the previous players, crypts do not reset anymore and this guide is not valid anymore. Best bet is to just shoot the spike traps and you're good.

you cannot shoot the spike floor traps (aka the pitfalls)
you can shoot the leg ones and the swinging spike ones

if there is water in the cave then there will be no pitfall traps
(on xbox 360 but probably the same for the one)

I got this while shooting the pitfall traps. I didn't test this thoroughly, but it seems the challenge fails if you're near the pitfall when it activates. Every time I shot them I'd make sure I was as far away as possible from them, and it didn't fail the challenge for me. I was a bit anxious when the cheevo didn't pop after the fifth codex, but it did unlock half a minute later more or less.
