Best Laid Plans: Part
Follow the Mongolian path, find the Lost City, and discover hidden relics in this walkthrough for Rise of the Tomb Raider's 'Best Laid Plans' section.
Alright, let's get through this part of 'Best Laid Plans' in Rise of the Tomb Raider. The main goal here is to follow the Mongolian path and keep an eye out for clues leading to the Lost City.
If you skipped the Challenge Tomb earlier, or if you're just not paying attention to the objective marker, you can still find a chest containing the Relic [03/03 – Enamel Brooch]. Make sure to check the back of it after you grab it; it'll give Lara a nice boost to her Greek language skill!
From where the objective marker is pointing, you'll want to jump across to the ice wall directly opposite. Climb up to the ledge above. Keep jumping across the gaps until you reach a pool of water. Dive in and start mashing that swim button to go faster! You need to pilot Lara through the underwater tunnel to the other side. Surface as soon as you can.
Once you surface, follow the path to the left until you hit another pool of water. After swimming through and surfacing again, turn around. You should spot Document [04/04 - Russian] tucked away in a small alcove to your right.
Now, head up the ramp nearby and just keep following the linear path. It'll lead you out of the cave. As soon as you exit, go down the hill and approach the Base Camp. A cutscene will trigger there, so get ready for that.
