How to unlock the Howl Long achievement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
The overall tomb is quite short and easy to be completed so it is just matter to find a path you are familiar with in the first platforming sequence and go though it as fast as possible.
During the actual tomb enigma you may risk to lose some time if you accidentally get killed by the traps. My advise is to keep calm and wait for the spikes to be raised and just after they are retracted you can jump them and continue. If you are not sure about the jump, just wait since you have the time to complete the requirement (at least for the bronze medal).
My advise is also to take a first run of the tomb in the campaign (with the related side quest and with no limits) and to understand the steps you need to complete to solve the enigma of the instruments in the Howl of the Monkey. After that, try the challenge tomb and you will complete it easily under the 10 minutes requirement.
In the Main Menu, select the "Challenge Tombs" tab and then choose "Howl of the Monkey Gods." In the following menu, you can then sift through three different modes: Exploration, Score Attack, and Time Attack.
In order to unlock this achievement, you will need to earn any medal in Time Attack. This mode is all about completing the Challenge Tomb (i.e. reaching the stele) as quickly as possible. The medal requirements are as follows:
- Gold: 6:45 minutes
- Silver: 8 minutes
- Bronze: 10 minutes
Howl of the Monkey Gods is a somewhat complicated Challenge Tomb given the deadly spike traps, collapsing bridges, and some minor backtracking you will need to do towards the end. That being said, you may want to rely on a decent visual walkthrough to help guide you through your Time Attack run, so please refer to THIS VIDEO, courtesy of Gamer 007.
