How to unlock the Boom Goes the Dynamite achievement in Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

About half way into the campaign you will encounter enemies who toss dynamite at you. They will hide behind cover, and then pop out and throw it. You will know it's dynamite because it will have a red blinking symbol near it warning you something is about to explode. Simply equip the Shotgun and wait until the dynamite is above and in front of you and blast away. May take a few tries but you got this! toast

I finished the game without completing a few achievements but I am going back over some of them from a previous game save. Could you tell me which part of the game did this occur, Shantytown, etc ?

If you forget about this, like I did, but haven't finished the game, there is a guy who throws Dynamite when you first have to battle on the very last level

Where can this be done in Multiplayer? I see the icon up there but I haven't come across it yet.

Easiest point in the campaign is right after the shielded guy kills the pilot. Just dodge past him and jump over the gap. Then he can't reach you directly, so he throws endless bundles of dynamite at you.

Like FoolsandKings stated, on the very last level, keep going until you see a cut scene where an enemy gets crushed by a "rolling pillar", there are 3 guys, one will come towards you so kill him quick, hide behind the stone and wait for the guy on the right to throw the dynamite...if you miss, just reload last checkpoint and you will be right there before the cut scene........

@Majin Impala
same. i only have this and the 'Chatterbox' achievement left so i made a new game and i'm at the part in the story where you're in shantytown and they chuck endless amounts of dynamite and i swear i got 6-7 dynamites that without a doubt i shot them and around +10 where i've shot them but the explosion hits me and i stagger.
i really don't know what to do at this point, has this been glitchy for anyone else or is this just me?

EDIT: nvm on that last part, just saw a thread for this game with people having similar experiences but with different achievements so it seems like the game being buggy isn't anything new

EDIT 2: Just unlocked this, all you have to do is delete your game save data everywhere. This should allow you to unlock the achievement now whenever you shoot some dynamite outta the air

The first time you can go for this achievement is right after the plane crash. If you miss, you can reload the checkpoint. You will have to watch at least half of the cut scene like shown in the video or he will not throw the dynamite.

Do not run near the ramp on the other side of the enemy. You may trigger a checkpoint and will have to go for this later. It's easier to wait, but this is for people who want to knock this out right away.

Minor Spoilers**


*Game DVR does not catch achievement pops, but that's when I unlocked it.

CONFIRMED that this can be done after completion of the story, just hit continue and go to shanty town and there will be enemies there that will throw explosives at you.

We should put in a request to remove the missable flag right?

It is great that you point this out but it is merely a comment that adds to the detailed solutions that are out there. Please feel free to use my video to show where exactly in Shanty town that one can get this done.

If you completed the game, but did not receive this trophy, then go to the location "Sadness Coast", there are two archers near the camp, to be precise, near the elevator that we dropped after returning from the "Endurance", kill one, and run from the second , stay at a distance so that he shoots at you with a bow, and in fact you just have to sit down at something and wait, every 3-4 arrows fired at you, dynamite flies at you.

For those who did not receive the trophy during the storyline, this video tip will be useless. In Free Mode, there are no dynamite throwers in the specified location. To get the trophy in Free Mode, you need to find a dynamite thrower, which is quite difficult. I didn't get the trophy during the storyline and I couldn't find the Dynamite Throwers in Free Roam. We managed to get the trophy thanks to a save in another cell, which was made before the so-called “point of no return” (final fight). After loading from this point, the first few opponents throw checkers. I strongly recommend exploding a checker from the first batch of opponents, since after killing opponents the game auto-saves and you won’t be able to return to this place.

First, kill the entire group of enemies, except for the dynamite thrower. Then, using a shotgun, shoot at a stick of dynamite when it comes close.
