Follow this detailed walkthrough for the Rescue Mission in Rise of the Tomb Raider, including enemy strategies, collectible locations, and combat tips.
Walkthrough
- 1Immediately after regaining control, backtrack through the door to the previous combat encounter. Enter the next door on the right to find a Survival Cache [03/03] against the back wall.
- 2Return to the Base Camp and approach it to unlock the 'Tower Courtyard' Base Camp. Use this to apply upgrades and spend skill points.
- 3In the tent to the left of the Base Camp, find a pile of Byzantine Coins, a Document [07/10 – Greek] on the tables, and a hanging Walkie-talkie [Cut Short 06/06] to destroy. To the right of the exit, down a short ramp, find a body with an Archivist’s Map.
- 4Fight your way down the narrow corridor to the west. Take cover and prioritize the enemies charging with knives. Use bottles to craft Molotovs if desired. In the far-left corner by the exit, find a Document [08/10 - Greek].
- 5Enter the room at the end of the corridor. A shield-carrying enemy will enter from the opposing entrance. Use a Grenade Arrow to defeat them quickly. Loot another Grenade Arrow from the room after the fight. Stock up on Ammo and Arrows.
- 6Proceed up the hallway the shield enemy came from and crawl under the door at the end.
- 7As soon as you are on the far side, shoot the group of three enemies ahead with a Poison Arrow. This will trigger a large number of enemies (10-12) to drop from the arches opposite the entrance.
- 8If you have Mushrooms, use Poison Arrows in each archway to create poison clouds that instantly kill enemies as they enter. Craft additional Poison Arrows while the effects are active.
- 9If your Mushroom supply is low, use Grenade Arrows and explosive barrels found in the room.
- 10After defeating the initial waves, an armored commando and a shield bearer will enter. Use Grenade Arrows or other weapons to quickly defeat them.
- 11Killing these two enemies will trigger a cut-scene, completing the mission.
Tips
- The game becomes very shooty from this point on; always take cover and loot Ammo and Arrows after every encounter.
- Don't be afraid to use Grenade Arrows, especially on groups of enemies or those with shields.
- If you have enough Mushrooms, Poison Arrows are highly effective against the large waves of enemies in the final room.
- Looting Grenade Arrows and utilizing explosive barrels are good alternatives if Mushrooms are scarce.
