How to unlock the Good Samaritan achievement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

Some side quests (also related to other missable achievements) can be missed if you progress too much in the story. To start a side quest you need first to speak with the person in-need (indicated by the map) and then follow the in-game instructions (using the eagle eye you can see a green symbol which denotes the location of the next step of the quest).

Attention: many of the side quests located in the Hidden City of Paititi require you to unlock the Cultist Outfit first, which is obtained as part of the story progression!

For your convenience, this is the complete list of the available side quests within the base game. You need to complete all the 8 side quests for the achievement to unlock, so make sure that at each mission completed the achievement tracker increases by 12/13%.

Kuwak Yaku:

1. Invasive Species:
- Sub-objective: Deal With The Pillagers.

The Hidden City - Paititi:

2. Dice With The Dead:
- Sub-objective: Find Takiy's Dice;
- Sub-objective: Seek Out The Outcasts.

3. Hearts And Minds:
- Sub-objective: Retrieve The King's Horn;
- Sub-objective: Retrieve The Saviour's Amulet;
- Sub-objective: Retrieve The Champion's Bow.

4. Freedom:
- Sub-objective: Free The Rebels;
- Sub-objective: Save Colqui.

5. Widow's Tears:
- Sub-objective: Investigate Sumaq's Murder.

6. Stay Of Execution:
- Sub-objective: Rescue Hakan.

7. Ancient Studies:
- Sub-objective: Decipher The Murals;
- Sub-objective: Stop The Ritual.

Mission Of San Juan:

8. Star Crossed:

It’s still not missable though. As the ones you’ve listed make exactly 8. It is 100% attainable with just the main game.
(No ignore me, I forgot about that one quest in Paititi)

Having said that, your point stands. I just logged in to comment how annoying it is that everywhere I look at guides they keep saying there’s loads of quests, where when you look at the tracker they only go up as the last quest part in each chain completes.

I’ll be upvoting your guide if it appears!

It would also help to have the times that the quests are available. I unlocked it today, only after panicking about the bow quest. Had to search to find out it is before the point of no return.

Solution fails to say which outfits give which missions, whom or where the mission givers are or when the missions can be started. -1

I found a video playlist for this achievement, including every side missions in the main game. Just started the game, trying to beat all of them on my first playtrough, so I hope this will help a lot for me and others:

The game will tell you. The final part is right at the end and you have to confirm a point of no return.

Me too got it later! After finished the story (inluding all 8 side missions), skipped the collectibles and started a New Game +, then completed again the first side mission in Kuwak Yaku and just popped up! clap

Anyone else having problems with this unlocking...on the TA side? Popped this yesterday on Xbox but TA has yet to pick it (TA has updated my total gamerscore, but not this achievement or total for this particular game). Finally had to pop an achievement in another game (which registered right away) to keep my streak on TA alive. Meh.

Just a heads up to anyone playing the Definitive Edition. one quest in Paititi can be bugged and prevent you from getting 100% completion. make a manual save before getting to the hidden city and If Pisco is invisible when you first go to him for Dice With The Dead quest restart your save to somewhere before entering the city. If you talk to him while invisible you won't be able to complete the quest. (you might be able to talk to him and complete the objective but the final talk won't happen). If you have talked to him your save is screwd and have to start over

Hi there,

This solution is a little misleading. The quests you have listed for the main game are sub quests that often only count as part of a side mission. It should read something like this:

Kuwak Yaku:

1. Invasive Species
- Deal With The Pillagers.

The Hidden City - Paititi:

2. Dice With The Dead
- Find Takiy's Dice.
- Seek Out The Outcasts.
3. Hearts And Minds
- Retrieve The King's Horn.
- Retrieve The Saviour's Amulet.
- Retrieve The Champion's Bow.
4. Freedom
- Free The Rebels.
- Save Colqui.
5. Widow's Tears
- Investigate Sumaq's Murder.
6. Stay Of Execution
- Rescue Hakan.
7. Ancient Studies
- Decipher The Murals.
- Stop The Ritual.

Mission Of San Juan

8. Star Crossed
- Explore The Local Mysteries.


EDIT: That makes this missable without DLC too. I've submitted the information to add the achievement flag.

I hope that helps smile

There are a total of thirteen side missions in the game, and despite this achievement's description stating that only eight must be completed in order to unlock the achievement, you must actually complete all thirteen.

Side missions are exclusive to the three main cities/towns of the game: Kuwaq Yaku, Paititi, and the Mission of San Juan. If you are in close proximity to a quest giver, you will typically receive an onscreen prompt that indicates a side mission is nearby, followed by said quest giver being marked on your world map. For further aid, these quest givers are also marked in green when using Survival Instincts.

Please see below for a full list and some clarifying notes on all thirteen side missions in the game.

  • Deal with the Pillagers
    • Location: Kuwaq Yaku

    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Takiy
  • Seek Out the Outcasts
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: N/A (this is actually an objective for the "Find Takiy’s Dice" side mission, but counts as a side mission itself)
  • Retrieve the King’s Horn
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Ushu
  • Retrieve the Savior’s Amulet
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Ushu

    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Poma
    • Requirement: Complete "Free the Rebels"

    • Requirement: This side quest is automatically added to your log during the story, when you reach the Upper City of Paititi
  • Retrieve the Champion’s Bow
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Uchu
  • Explore the Local Mysteries
    • Location: Mission of San Juan
    • Quest Giver: Guillermo
  • Investigate Sumaq’s Murder
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Male NPC in the upper region of Paititi
    • Requirement: Equip the Serpent Guard outfit
  • Decipher the Murals
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Awil (located on a small island in the lake in the northern part of the city)
  • Stop the Ritual
    • Location: Paititi
    • Quest Giver: Mayu
    • Requirement: Complete "Decipher the Murals"

The achievement will unlock once you have successfully completed all thirteen of these side missions.

Long-term quests also count towards the count. In any case, they gave it to me after completing the next DLC quest.

The quest “Dangerous Species” should be completed immediately upon arrival in the village. The prize is a good powerful pistol.

The quest "Game with a Dead Man" includes a female merchant. It is very, very recommended to come to her with money and buy a set of master keys and zhumar (7 thousand is enough), because then she will move (by chance) and catching her is another quest. It’s better to have more, she still has some non-critical junk (20 thousand should be enough for everything, with the “raven charm” skill - less, but I don’t remember how much exactly).

Attention! Trophy is glitchy: quest game with a dead man: if you immediately talk not to the boy, but to the character in the city from whom you need to pick up the dice for the quest, the latter will disappear by the end of the quest, making the trophy impossible to obtain along with “ Completionist / Perfectionism ”; Paititi will remain with 9/11 quests, and the game is at 99.97%; Now I either have to do another playthrough, or I’ll try to reassemble it on maximum difficulty, or I’ll give it up altogether (The developers have known about the glitch since 2019, but it still hasn’t been fixed and won’t be

There is no error, some tasks have several stages, so the map shows you not individual 8 quests, but all stages of each of them. On the tab next to the map, there are only 8 side effects. The “Hearts and Minds” quest, for example, has three stages, two of which you complete after the cenotes, and the last one at the end of the game.

in Paititi the map shows 8/11 additional tasks. There are no tasks before the final battle. As a result, I can’t get 100%. There are no additional tasks on the map, the counter shows that there should be. As a result, 99.64%.

There are additional tasks, look at the list of all tasks (there are descriptions of all of them on the Internet) and search.
