How to unlock the Monkey Around achievement in Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

You can do this achievement ALONE. The other solutions are correct, but you can do this all by yourself in a private match.

Create a private match in "Rescue" on the map "Beach". Select Solarii. One level above the spot where you have to deposit your medi pack as a survivor you can find a burning tire. This fire will be used to drain your health. When you check the side where the elevator thing and the machine gun turret is you will find a zip line that goes in parallel to the two zip lines of the elevator. It is only a few meters away from the burning tire. Stand next or on top of the tire and drain your health. More and more blood will appear on your screen. When there is quite a lot, run to the zip line (hold B), jump and press X when on the line.

On top you can exit to the right, walk back to the tire and repeat (but make sure all blood is gone). I recommend to spend too much time on the tire and die one time to see how your screen should look like close to death. According to user Bistric the character "will start holding his/her stomach in pain" when you are close to death. Thanks for the additional info.

Works great. One good way to know when you're getting close to death is that your character will start holding his/her stomach in pain. Did it several times before this animation showed and got nothing, then 3 times with animation and the achievement popped.

Thanks. I counted the winces of pain / controller rumbles when stood on top of the fire barrel. 25 seems to be enough.

Wow, works great! As a little bit extra, just after your character starts clutching their stomach in pain, the screen goes a bit black and white - that's when I jumped off the tires and went up the rope. Worked perfect for me.

Thumbs up to Greedy136, his solution is dead on. But if you'd like a video to see exactly what he's talking about here is a video someone made. Hope it helps, Cheers!

If you don't have a buddy to boost with, it's very simple in public match.

Make sure you are playing as the Solarll faction as playing as the survivors is a total joke when it comes to ascending.

Just simply wait at the bottom of a zip line, wait till someone wounds you, tap 'A' to jump up on to the zip line there will be a prompt when underneath the zip line.

As soon as you grab it press 'X' and you will zip up at super speed.

*Note, you do not need to fully ascend or heal after ascending, the third and last time I ascended I got the achievement half way while zipping up the line.

*Another thing to add is, this does not need to be done in a 'single match' (As the achievements implies). I got 2 in one match checked the achievements progress, and it showed 2/3. Then did another match, did it once, and boom achievement popped.

This can be done solo in a private Rescue match. Beach is the perfect map for it. You have to pick the Solarii faction for this because the Survivors don't have the rope ascender.

Once the match starts make your way down to the platform right above the dropoff point for the med packs. There is a burning stack of tires and a few meters further you'll have a rope going up to a ledge. Stand on top of the tires or close to them and let the fire damage you. You'll know that you've taken enough damage when your character starts to hold his side and you hear a heartbeat. Now sprint to the rope and jump on it with cn_X. Once on the rope hit cn_S to use the rope ascender to reach the ledge. Wait until your health is fully recovered and repeat this two more times for the Trophy to unlock.

I'll include a video for visualisation.

Private Match > Any mode > Beach map

Proceed to a tire that is burning and get on it, you will receive a certain amount of damage, when you are about to die get out and go to a zipline and get on it, now press cn_X to use the rope ascender, now repeat this 2 more times.

note: you can do it alone

Rope ascender is a piece of equipment that lets you climb up the zip lines automatically and at a faster rate. Press when you are on a zip line to ascend using rope ascender.

This can be boosted in private Free-For-All matches, as in some modes only Solarii have the ascender tool. Let your partner shoot you until you have less than 25% health and your screen starts to go black and white, then jump to zip line and press . Do this 3 times to unlock the trophy.

Please check Boosting Thread (PS3) or Boosting Thread (PS4) to find partners.

Solarii Character Faction Only

While having very low health, you must jump on a rope and zip-line away. This must be done from the bottom portion of the rope. When on the rope, hold  to use the ascender. Think of it like escaping a bad situation quickly when low on health. Sometimes you will play as a character and not be able to actually use the rope ascender. It is not known if this is a bug, or if some characters are not able to do it in the first place.

Online private match boostable (2 people needed)

This can all be done in one session with a partner. Stand at the bottom of the rope and have the other person shoot you until you are low on health. Now jump up on the rope and hold . Get back to that point and repeat until you get the achievement. The damage must be by another player and not by yourself (this means you cannot use explosions or fire that you cause).
