User Interface (UI) Overview — Shadow of the Tomb Raider Guide

Understand Shadow of the Tomb Raider's UI: objectives, weapons, health, Survival Instincts, and menu navigation.

The UI provides vital information. In the top-left, you'll see your current objective. The bottom-right displays your equipped weapon and ammunition count. When in combat, enemy health bars will appear. The Survival Instincts (L3/LS) highlights interactive objects, collectibles, and enemy positions, making it an invaluable tool for exploration and stealth. Your health bar is subtly integrated into the screen's edges, turning red when Lara is injured. The inventory and map can be accessed via the Pause Menu. Pay attention to on-screen prompts for quick-time events and contextual actions. Understanding these elements will help you make informed decisions and navigate the world efficiently. The crafting menu, accessible through the campfire, will show your available resources and what items you can create or upgrade. Keep an eye on the experience bar, which fills as you complete objectives and find collectibles, leading to skill point acquisition.
