Things to Find First
Lara starts the game off like any other city slicker, completely inept with the ways our ancestors lived (e.g., like wild beasts - le fauves!). However, as her survival instincts take over, and the veil of civilization is torn asunder, Lara will unlock more of her potential as a uber-destroying bad-ass from the 1995 videogame.
EARLY TASK FOCUS
As you struggle to go from one spot on the island to the other, you will want to pay heed to the Challenges in each area. IGN has them all mapped out on our Tomb Raider Interactive Map, and that's helpful because while the in-game map is far more accurate for tracking the marked collectibles (once you've found the Treasure Maps during general exploration or completed the Optional Tombs to find the others) the game does not display the targets of the challenges at all (hence the term "challenge").
However, the challenges are marked on IGN's Tomb Raider Interactive Map, along with a brief description of where to find each of the challenge targets. Complete and collect as much stuff as you go along, as you will no doubt wonder what comes next.
The best way to get experience is to find it. The treasure maps are clearly marked out on IGN's Tomb Raider Interactive Map. Filter them out, and remember that of the fourteen maps, seven of them are found in open exploration but the remaining seven are found by completing the Tombs.
The Treasure Maps are found in this order:
- Coastal Forest Treasure Map
- Mountain Temple Treasure Map
- Tomb of the Unworthy (map from tomb)
- Base Exterior Treasure Map
- Hall of Ascension (map from tomb)
- Well of Tears (map from tomb)
- Chamber of Judgment (map from tomb)
- Geothermal Caverns Treasure Map
- Stormguard Sanctum (map from tomb)
- The Flooded Vault (map from tomb)
- Cliffside Bunker Treasure Map
- Temple of the Handmaidens (map from tomb)
- Research Base Treasure Map
- Chasm Shrine Treasure Map
