How to unlock the TR3 Crystals Are Forever achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide
This very difficult achievement involves collecting all ‘95’ blue crystals in a single playthrough (I did this on normal new game not new game plus). You’ll need to be an expert raider to obtain it.
The problem here that many will face is that the original games only had 93 crystals to collect in a standard playthrough, while this achievement is asking for 95? Strange. But I have worked out what the extra 2 are for your convenience (in brackets below next to the impacted levels: River Ganges and Lost City of Tinnos).
TOTAL CRYSTALS 93 (+2)
INDIA
Jungle: 6
Temple Ruins: 8
River Ganges: 6 (+1 initially turn left at the junction towards the river, but you need to backtrack to the Ruins area for the 7th crystal later on)
Caves of Kaliya: 2
NEVADA
Nevada Desert: 3
High Security Compound: 3
Area 51: 4
SOUTH PACIFIC
Coastal Village: 5
Crash Site: 4
Madubu Gorge: 8
Temple of Puna: 2
LONDON
Thames Wharf: 8
Aldwych: 9
Lud’s Gate: 11
City: 0
ANTARCTICA
Antarctica: 4
RX Tech Mines: 5
Lost City of Tinnos: 5 (+1 the first Crystal in this level is actually 2 pickups!)
Meteorite Cavern: 0
I completed this achievement WITHOUT All Hallows (secret level).
For guides showing how to obtain all the save crystals, I used Stella’s Tomb Raider 3 walkthrough. Stella also has a guide on how to access the backtrack ruins area of River Ganges, where the ‘hidden’ crystal is sitting high up on a tree branch.

Someone at Reddit said you could simply collect the first crystal, save, Start a New Game and repeat and so "cheese" this Achievement. Is this true?
