Follow this detailed walkthrough for Rise of the Tomb Raider's 'Protector' mission, guiding you through repelling Trinity attackers and navigating the Soviet Facility.
Walkthrough
- 1As soon as you regain control, drop down to the courtyard below.
- 2Approach the camp fire to unlock the ‘Soviet Facility’ Base Camp. Use this Base Camp to apply upgrades and spend skill points.
- 3Exit the Base Camp menu when ready.
- 4Continue into the building ahead and loot the box of reagents, crate of Salvage, and the Oil.
- 5Proceed through the crack in the door.
- 6Move along the hallway. The door at the far end will burst open, allowing three enemies into the room.
- 7Ready a Poison/Grenade Arrow as the door takes damage. As soon as you see the first enemy, use the arrow. This should kill his companions. If not, deal with the survivors.
- 8Enter the doorway behind the Base Camp (left).
- 9Fight your way through the building (right) until a scene plays.
- 10Enter the next doorway and wait for the grenade to go off before climbing the stairs.
- 11At the top, a scene will play. As soon as it finishes, sprint forward to avoid death and continue into the next room.
- 12Turn the corner to the left to see another three enemies ahead.
- 13Try to shoot the red barrel as soon as possible to hit all three enemies with the explosion. If unsuccessful, kill the survivors.
- 14Proceed through this room. At the far end, you will encounter one more enemy who will charge at you.
- 15Continue through the outside area and around the corner until a scene plays.
- 16When you regain control, you will be in some water. Dive under the brick wall in front to find yourself beneath an ice sheet.
- 17There are eight enemies in the room above and several holes around the room.
- 18To clear this room, stay submerged, approach the holes, and pick off isolated enemies with silent drowning takedowns.
- 19If you get spotted, mash the swim fast button to get away and approach another hole.
- 20Once you have cleared the room, surface and approach the objective marker for a cut-scene.
Tips
- To clear the underwater room, you can also pull an enemy into the ice and purposely get spotted. While the enemies are firing on your position, they should bunch up. Quickly swim to another hole and climb out before hitting one of the enemies with a Grenade/Poison Arrow to take out a large number at once. Repeat as necessary.
- You can also hop out of the water and use the smoke as cover to perform hit and run attacks.
