Tips on Earning Platinum


Recommended Posts

Just completed the platinum for Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Of all the Tomb Raider games, this was probably the least annoying one to platinum. It was actually quite a bit of fun after the initial first few hours. I wanted to share some tips I have for making earning the platinum as painless as possible. 

 

1. If possible, buy the definitive edition or buy the extra dlc weapons. Some of them are crazy powerful when fully upgraded and make combat an afterthought (which will be very helpful during deadly obsession)

2. Look at the miscellaneous combat trophies and try to do them as soon as possible by reloading a checkpoint as soon as you get the chance to use the combat move. It makes it much easier than trying to get them naturally. 

3. Play normal first and complete everything on this play through. It will be worth it in the long run as you will end up getting every skill and most of your weapons fully maxed before your deadly obsession play through. Follow a guide for certain collectibles and you should be fine as nothing is missable. 

4. Go to merchants and buy all the ammo pouch upgrades and as many upgrades as you can from them (and buy the lock-pick as soon as you can from the merchant who appears during the side mission about finding the dice for the kid, this is important as she will move to different locations in the game world, so it is best to buy it before she moves. 

5. Finally, if you do all of the above, you will be super powerful and ready for deadly obsession on new game plus. Deadly obsession can be a pain, but as long as you take your time with platforming and save as much as you can at base camps, you should be ok. Some areas can go long stretches without being able to save, so it might be best to look up what to expect from whats coming next (especially sections where you have to out run something).

 

Those are a few things I learned while getting the platinum and hopefully this can help you while trying to earn the platinum yourself. Good Luck and thanks for reading. :)
