Unlock Combat Achievements in rise of the tomb raider: Bar Brawl, Glub Glub Glub, Renegade, Fearless, Blade of Justice, Firestarter, Chemical Warfare, and English Pedigree.
Bar Brawl
Description: Melee kill an enemy using a bottle.
To unlock this achievement/trophy, you must first unlock the ‘Deadly Force’ Skill in the Brawler Skill Tree. Once acquired, wait for a stealth section, locate a bottle, sneak up on an enemy, and perform a silent takedown while holding the bottle.
Glub Glub Glub
Description: Drown 3 enemies using a water finisher.
While in water, approach an enemy on the ground above. When the silent takedown button prompt appears, press the button to pull them into the water for a finisher. Repeat this three times. Opportunities arise in the latter half of the campaign, particularly in The Flooded Archive and the Research Base regions.
Renegade
Description: Melee 5 enemies off a ledge.
Approach enemies near the edge of platforms or cliffs. Use melee attacks (not finishers) to push them back until they fall off the ledge. The fall does not need to kill them, only knock them to a lower platform.
Fearless
Description: Defeat a Deathless Swordsman using only melee attacks and a finisher.
First, unlock the ‘Dodge Counter’, ‘Dodge Kill’, and ‘Dodge Kill Mastery’ Skills in the Survival Skill Tree. Deathless enemies are encountered in the Path of the Deathless region and can also be found wandering The Lost City region. Engage a Deathless Swordsman and use your dodging and counter-attacking skills. It typically takes 2-3 dodge counters to defeat one, potentially more on higher difficulties.
Blade of Justice
Description: Perform 25 special stealth kills with the knife.
Lara acquires the Combat Knife soon after arriving in the Abandoned Mine region. Once obtained, she will use it for silent takedown attacks. Perform 25 stealth kills after acquiring the knife to earn this achievement/trophy.
Firestarter
Description: Defeat two enemies or more using a single Molotov Cocktail.
Molotov Cocktails are acquired during the Copper Mill section on your first visit to the Soviet Installation. Immediately after the scene introducing them, sneak into the next room and toss a Molotov at a group of two or more enemies. If missed, other stealth scenarios with grouped enemies exist, or you can replay levels in Expedition Mode.
Chemical Warfare
Description: Kill 5 enemies with one Poison Arrow.
Poison Arrows are received early in the Siberian Wilderness. To achieve this, you need five enemies close enough together. It is recommended to attempt this in Expedition Mode. The start of ‘The Acropolis’ level is suitable: trigger the Trinity forces in the courtyard beyond the first gate. Lure them back by firing shots in the air, then hide behind tents. As they stack up, time a Poison Arrow to hit them as they approach.
English Pedigree
Description: Headshot (a shot that lands on the enemy's head, usually an instant kill) an enemy with an arrow from a distance beyond 25m.
To earn this achievement, you need to headshot an enemy from a significant distance using the bow. The ‘Breath Control’ Skill (Hunter Skill Tree) allows you to hold an arrow longer to line up a shot, and the ‘Dead Eye’ Skill provides a reticule indicator for headshots. This can be achieved in any area with unaware enemies and open ground. The Prison escape section at the Soviet Installation is one such location, or most levels in Expedition Mode, such as ‘The Acropolis’.
