Here are all the guides, tips, and strategies to enjoy playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider (2018) with cheats and unlockables.
Getting the Lockpick and Rope Ascender
The Lockpick and Rope Ascender are unlockable gadgets. The Rope Ascender allows you to destroy heavy barriers. The lockpick allows you to open locked Conquistador treasure chests. These items are optional gear that you do not need to complete the main story. However, if you want to access every area and complete all the puzzles, you will need them.
To purchase both of them, play the “Find Takiy’s Dice” side mission in The Hidden City. The side mission starts in The Hidden City (Paititi) at the following location. There is a boy sitting at the foot of the hill, close to the market square. Talk to him (Takiy), and he will tell you a dead man stole his dice. Lara agrees to look out for the dead man and get back the dice from him.
The side mission requires you to talk to five outcasts. After talking to the first four, the fifth one will get marked on the map. She is a vendor that sells the two gadgets. They can be bought from her for a total of 6,100 gold. You may have noticed locked treasure chests early in the game that required lockpicks. You can fast-travel back to those locations after completing the story and unlock the treasure chests.
Getting the Reinforced Knife
The Reinforced Knife is an unlockable gadget upgrade that allows you to cut through rope barriers. This item is optional gear that you do not need to complete the main story. However, if you want to access every area and complete all puzzles, you will need it. You can buy it from a merchant in The Hidden City (Paititi) at the following location.
The vendor is found in the market square (north of the bridge to the Upper City). The item to buy from her is called “Knife Upgrade” and costs 2,900 gold. Alternately, find an NPC on some stairs in the Upper City to begin the “Stay Of Execution” side quest. Successfully complete the quest to unlock the Reinforced Knife upgrade.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montreal and initially released in 2018 for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
