How to unlock the TR Crocodile Rock achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide

This is done in the Return to Egypt level. Technically it is the first Shadow of the Cat level, but it seems to be commonly referred to as level 3 in Unfinished Business since all DLC levels are started through Unfinished Business from the new game screen.

EDIT: Erinyes has provided a very detailed explanation for this in the comments, but I’m going to include a shorter version in the guide here. All credit for this bit in italics goes to Erinyes. While you only need the specific pickups mentioned below, you cannot kill ANY crocodiles through the entire level.

You only need to pick up the following things during your playthrough of the level: The Golden Key and then 3 more items: the shotgun shells, the magnum and the magnum ammo, no other items in the level are required.

These 3 items are located at the rock where the magnums are found.

You can find this section when you arrive at the pool where the Golden Key is and then swim from there through a small hole underwater until you arrive at a section with a rock. Once you get out of the water 5 crocs will immediately try to eat you. Ignore them and pick up all 3 pickups there, then leave and play through the rest of the level.


This video will show you where all pickups and secrets are located. Skip to 13:14 in the video for the section key to this achievement. All credit for the video goes to Game Guides Channel on YouTube. They have great videos for at least all the TR1 levels up now that are great for getting the pickups and secrets.

The achievement will unlock when you reach the level complete screen that shows your final stats.

When you get to Secret 3 in the video, remember to perform a swan dive on the final jump to the pickup to unlock the following:
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara CroftTR Schmitty’s LeapThe TR Schmitty’s Leap achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft worth 25 pointsGet the secret on the high rock by making a swan dive jump

You will also unlock the following on the next to last pickup of the level:

Any crocodiles "there", needs to be translated to: "at all".

Up high when you need to shimmy over to jump to the cat, to get through the door with the key to get in the room with the three lanes and boulders which you need to jump over to get this achievement:
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara CroftTR Jaws of DeathThe TR Jaws of Death achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft worth 53 pointsJump over the three boulders on the center road on the way to the cat image without getting hurt


I killed that crocodile with a shotgun, and didn't kill any other crocodile in the level. Continued playing and at the end screen didn't get the achievement. Loaded a save just prior to that and this time didn't kill that crocodile and just went immediately to the end of the level and it did unlock that time.

In the beginning of the level I did hit 1 or possibly 2 crocodiles with my pistols but not killing them and kept on playing, and did get the achievement in the end. So damaging crocodiles doesn't nullify the achievement. It was in the room with a big pool and 2 crocodiles swimming and 3 black panters running up high and i tried killing those black panters and 1 or 2 times I unfortunately did hit the crocodiles. But like I said it did unlock for me even though I did hit some crocodiles a few times.

I did get all the pickups in this level (somehow :)) but I think it's like a previous comment said you only probably need to pick those 3 items in a room where you drop down and are surrounded by 4 or 5 crocodiles.

Don't think all collectibles is strictly necessary. I accidentally ended the level before getting the hidden Uzi and it still unlocked.

***BUG WARNING***

This achievement only seems to unlock when completed on the FIRST playthrough (with just pistols at the start).

I tried unlocking this on my second and third playthroughs, but it didn’t unlock. I then went back and used my first save to reach the level and try this achievement, and it unlocked straight away.

@Indigo AC that’s very strange. Were your subsequent playthroughs NG+ by chance? I’m not sure if NG+ is even possible in the expansion, but I noticed a couple achievements in the base game that seemed to only be doable on a standard NG cycle.

I just wanted to leave a comment here as I was going for this achievement as well and read around everywhere that I can find for any info. I don't have it myself ( EDIT: got it now, read below in the "WORKAROUND / SOLUTION" section what's required and how to do it in case you're not on your first playthrough / haven't played through that particular level before ) and tried also varying amounts of combintions to this point. What @IndigoAC pointed out could be correct because I was just having a random look at the achievements on SteamDB to check for something completely different.

Link to the page:
https://steamdb.info/app/2478970/stats/

If you scroll down to the "Crocodile Rock" achievement on the page it says "TR1_UB_GET_MAGNUMS_WO_KILLING_CROCODILES" so technically you can't obtain the magnums since you now already have them for the second run as you retain your weapons on subsequent starts of the level. This could potentially be the reason why it can't / won't unlock on a second playthrough. This isn't technically NG+ but rather a redo of NG with all weapons unlocked if you beat it already.

Maybe this could be the reason why it doesn't work in this case. This is assuming,
of course, that the description *is* indeed the unlock condition.

EDIT: Removed since this is irrelevant now.
WORKAROUND / SOLUTION: Finally got it to unlock. I can confirm that using the level skip cheat I used, would void this achievement as I used it during my first attempts to quickly get back to the level. You *have* to get to "Return to Egypt" by playing through the Atlantis levels normally. Once there, you should only start with your pistols if you either play this for the first time or reset your savefile ( instructions at the end in case you need to do that ).

IMPORTANT: Do not kill any crocodiles during the level, no matter what you do!

You only need to pick up the following things during your playthrough of the level: The Golden Key and then 3 more items: the shotgun shells, the magnum and the magnum ammo, no other items in the level are required.

These 3 items are located at the rock where the magnums are found.

You can find this section when you arrive at the pool where the Golden Key is and then swim from there through a small hole underwater until you arrive at a section with a rock ( the video from the guide linked at the top has this section from 13:14 onwards if you'd like to see it visually instead! ). Once you get out of the water 5 crocs will immediately try to eat you. Ignore them and pick up all 3 pickups there, then leave and play through the level as per usual. It'll unlock on the level transition screen.

To reset your savefile follow the instructions below ( for Steam users ):

- Disable your Cloud Saves for TR Remastered in Steam
- Go to the following folder "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\TRX\your_steam_userid\"
- Important: Make a backup of your "savegame.dat" file now before doing any steps below!
- Delete your "savegame.dat" file
- Start TR Remastered

Note: This will also reset any custom control settings that you might have had, so you'll have to redo them in-game once you loaded it up since they are saved in the same file as the one you deleted.

Once you are done with the achievement, you can copy your backup file into the folder from before once more, enable your Cloud Saves again and you're done.

Hope this helps more people unlock this as this was a tad tedious :D

Since it's not clear from the comments above, as of today you do NOT need to do this on your first playthrough/a fresh save. I did a second playthrough to collect the missable achievements and this was one of them. Didn't shoot any crocs in the stage but did collect every secret/item.
