Make sure you have plenty of the poison arrows that you will get just before the battle, and be ready to shoot them at the bear. While most of the rest of these tips are pretty in general with the mechanics of the game, one that you must be ready for is the early battle with the bear. Making the different arrows, specifically the poison arrow, is very vital to survival, especially to be ready for the sudden showdowns with a bear. Craft Between AreasĬrafting is a very useful addition in Rise of the Tomb Raider and is something you should always be doing between areas of the game to stay ready for what is coming. This is especially useful in the areas with less visibility, such as the early snow areas in Siberia. It is near impossible to play through this game efficiently without using it fairly often, as it plays a major role, just like it did in the first game. This can be used to better find objects that you can interact with, such as relics, supply trees, animals, and enemies. This works in tandem with obtaining the Animal Instincts skill, as Survival Instincts is a key piece of your arsenal. Intuitive is one you can get later, but most of the others can be skipped here for awhile. The Survivalist tree also has some very useful skills, such as Avid Learner that provides extra XP as well, which is why it’s good to pick that one early. Perhaps the most useful of these is Animal Instincts though, as you can much more easily find objects to interact with throughout the game. There are also some weapon specific skill upgrades here, but those can mostly wait until later as you focus on the upgrading the weapons themselves.

Skills like these help you with keeping the ammo, crafting supplies, and XP up in the early goings, which will allow you to get through the tougher parts with relative ease.

The Hunter tree features some of the most important early skills, with so many like Arrow Retrieval, Naturalist, Finesse. These are probably the least useful of the group, but you could get some of these later. The Brawler skill tree is associated with more combat related skills, such as decreasing the damage taken, stealth skills, and such. These are split among three skill types, Brawler, Hunter, and Survivalist, each with a bunch of abilities. Similar to the weapons, skills are just as important as you play through Rise of the Tomb Raider, though these become available as you gain more XP in the game. These not only add a lot of side story elements to the game, but give you much needed XP in the game, which leads us to our next tip. Collectibles are all over the place in Rise of the Tomb Raider, spanning documents, murals, and very important items like maps that allow the finding of other collectibles to be much easier.
