Warming Up

Your friend's guide to navigating the 'Warming Up' section of Rise of the Tomb Raider, from Byzantine Coins to underwater tunnels and zip lines.

Alright, so you've just finished up a cutscene and you're standing in front of a big statue. First things first, check the ground right in front of it – you'll find some Byzantine Coins. Now, to your right, behind a smaller statue at the end of this little corridor, there's a crate of Salvage. Don't forget to look in the corner behind and to the left of the big statue; there's another Salvage crate hiding there.

Keep moving down the corridor behind the main statue. As soon as you take that first left, be ready to jump! There's a spike trap on the floor you'll want to avoid.

Next up, you'll hit some water at the end of the passage. Dive in and mash that swim button to get through the rocky bits underwater. Keep an eye out for a spot to surface for air about halfway through; you'll need to do this to catch your breath.

After swimming through those underwater tunnels, you'll eventually surface. Follow the path through the ruins. Keep going through the underwater section until you can finally take some stairs out of there.

Once you're at the top of those stairs, you'll find yourself in an old ruin. Just follow the path ahead until you see a set of stairs to your left. But before you head up, go straight ahead past them – there's a box of Ammo and some Arrows waiting to top off your supplies.

Now, head back to those stairs and climb all the way to the top. You'll find a zip line up there, which will trigger another scene.
