Guide Rise of the Tomb Raider: Back to the Forest

AntMag.NET

Alright, you've just picked up the new Wire Spool, which is super handy! This little gadget lets Lara use her pickaxes like grappling hooks. You can swing across big gaps, and even throw your pickaxes at ledges mid-jump to grab onto stuff that's normally out of reach. Pretty cool, right?

Walkthrough

1
First things first, look for a rope pillar and an attachment point across the way. Use your new Rope Arrow to create a zip line and cross that chasm.
2
Once you're on the other side, drop down to the ledge below. You'll find an Explorer’s Satchel waiting for you there.
3
Climb back up and use your Grapple Axe ability on the cross beam. Swing over to the ledge on the far side.
4
Now, you'll see another ledge higher up. Use your Grapple Axe again to reach it. Just to the right, tucked away in some bushes, you'll find Document 09.
5
Next, you've got another gap to cross. Sprint and jump towards the high ledge across from you. Use that wire spool to grab the ledge and pull yourself up.
6
At the very top, poke around in the bushes to your right – you'll find Document [09/10 - Greek].
7
Look for a beam at the end of this ledge. Use your grapple axes on it to reach the climbable wall behind it. Shimmy your way to the right along this wall using the handholds.
8
Finally, use your grapple axes on the last climbing wall and scale it all the way to the top. Head into the cave you see there to exit this area.

Tips

Don't forget to use the Grapple Axe to swing across gaps – it's your main tool for traversal in this section!
Keep an eye out for those documents; they often hide in bushes or off the main path.
The new Wire Spool ability is key here, so make sure you're comfortable using it to grab ledges mid-air.
