How to unlock the Big Game Hunter achievement in Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

This is best accomplished in the Coastal Forest region, hunting either deer (the first half of the region) or wolves (the latter half).

In both cases you will need to use powerful shots from the bow. Tapping RT will not cause enough damage to kill the animal. A full power bow headshot on a deer will kill it in one shot. A full power headshot will NOT kill a wolf. Be prepared to shoot them multiple times (thanks to Kaiser679 for confirming).

After trying it, I can confirm that even a full power headshot will not kill a wolf, at least pre-damage upgrades. If you have one or more of the power upgrades it might, but the basic bow will not.

If anybody needs a video to help them with this achievement then just follow the link to youtube, the achievement is pretty self explanatory but there is a good spot to do it in.

I did this in the Coastal Forest region, there are a lot of deer and wolves in either halves of the regions. This was the first trophy I got in the game so it's pretty easy as deer and wolves are pretty big targets. If you don't have it by Shipwreck Cove there are many boar here to hunt, as well. If you use the bow I'd recommend going for the head, or in the body of the deer with a full power bow shot. For wolves and boar you should get them in the head, though wolves are generally more evasive, so be careful.

You will start finding animals that count towards this achievement very early on. They spawn frequently and you can revisit areas later that have them. The below list are the types of animals that count towards this achievement, though you'll likely get them all off of Deer and Wolves. Just remember that after you kill them, you must go loot them or it will not count. 

  • Deer
  • Wolf
  • Boar

This will probably be the first trophy you earn in the game. After you get your bow, kill every animal you see and loot them by pressing while you are next to them. There are many deers in the first area where you get the bow and many wolves after your first encounter with them. Wolves don’t run away, but you might want to kill deers with headshots and with your bow fully drawn.

You can earn it when you have a bow. You need to aim at the head to spend fewer arrows (-1 to the head, about -3 to the body). Small animals die from -1
