How to unlock the Tables Turned achievement in Shadow of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide
Two really good spots to do this:
- The first side mission in Kuwaq Yaku, "Deal with the pillagers". When you encounter the enemies, let them see you, run around the corners and hide in a bush or against the wall. When they follow you, take them down.
- After leaving the Temple of Life, you'll come to an area with boats, and some enemies on a dock. Let them see you, then swim under the dock to get out of their sight, and do the takedown from the water.
In both cases it is a good idea to turn on the achievement tracker and just reload the checkpoint after the kills are registered. (not working on highest difficulty due no autosave present)
[edit]
If you downvote please do me the courtesy and comment how can I make the guide better. Cheers.
This achievement is missable since there are no enemies present in the game world post-story.
In order to trigger an enemy into a "search state," you will naturally need to be detected first and then run away and hide (against a mud-covered wall, in a bush, etc.). If the enemy does not see you entering this hiding spot, you can remain undetected as they enter a "search state." It is during this time that you will want to sneak up on the enemy and kill them with a stealth takedown in order to make progress towards this achievement (you can always use the bow or a silenced weapon to take them out with a headshot, too).
You may need to deliberately farm this achievement at some point during your playthrough since you wouldn't normally want to engage the enemy in open combat and constantly be playing hide-and-seek with them.
