Complete walkthrough for the Rising Tide mission in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Find the Atlas, destroy the statue, and escape the archives.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As you exit the water, a scene will play. Your objective is to knock down the statue. Shoot the vessels of Greek Fire at its base.
  2. 2
    Continue south to find a new Base Camp named 'Greek Fire Depot'. Use this to upgrade gear and spend skill points.
  3. 3
    There are two objective markers on the map; tackle the northern one first.
  4. 4
    Return to the room you entered from and use the small stairs north of it. Follow the hallway to the end and crawl beneath a gap.
  5. 5
    Climb the ledge on the right and ascend the stairs.
  6. 6
    In the room below, three enemies are present. Wait for them to split up and eliminate them one by one from a distance. Consider saving the enemy with the helmet for last or using a Poison Arrow to maintain stealth.
  7. 7
    Loot the room: you'll find various Ammo boxes, Magnesite Ore, and a basket of Herbs in the back left corner.
  8. 8
    Find and climb the scalable wall in the back right corner of the room.
  9. 9
    At the top, turn right and run down the hallway, avoiding two spike traps.
  10. 10
    In the small room at the end, open the chest to find a Relic [01/02 – Pennon Flag].
  11. 11
    Return to the top of the climbable wall and enter the hallway.
  12. 12
    Find an archway to the right and drop down to a wooden platform.
  13. 13
    Grab the cylinder filled with reagents and locate a nearby hanging box. Use the beams to jump to the hanging crate, then to the hallway on the opposite side.
  14. 14
    At the end of this hallway, find an Explorer’s Satchel.
  15. 15
    Head back to the hanging box and across the wooden platform to the original hallway.
  16. 16
    Follow this hallway to the large statue. Jump to the platform on the left.
  17. 17
    On the box, find a Document [04/05 - Mongolian]. Further left, near the far wall, is a Monolith.
  18. 18
    Backtrack to the room where you fought the previous group of enemies.
  19. 19
    At ground level, near the scalable wall, find a crack blocked by a wooden beam. Use Rope Arrows to dislodge it.
  20. 20
    Continue through the crack. In the alcove opposite, grab a Survival Cache [02/03].
  21. 21
    In the northeastern corner of the room, by the iron fence, collect a pile of Byzantine Coins.
  22. 22
    Locate the large, wooden storage barrel ramp in the center of the room.
  23. 23
    At the end of the ramp, facing the water, there's a Rope Arrow attachment point. Shoot it to release a red barrel from the ramp.
  24. 24
    With the ramp at your back, find the tripod with a large wooden beam.
  25. 25
    Use Rope Arrows to position the beam above the ramp.
  26. 26
    Attach one red barrel to the beam using a Rope Arrow.
  27. 27
    Use Rope Arrows to pull the other end of the seesawing beam over the platform.
  28. 28
    Release another barrel from the ramp and attach it to the other end of the beam, so both ends have barrels.
  29. 29
    Move to the far side of the tripod/beam mechanism, closest to the statue.
  30. 30
    Rotate the beam with Rope Arrows until a red barrel is on the platform with you.
  31. 31
    Cut the barrel loose with your Combat Knife; it will roll down the ramp and float to the statue's support.
  32. 32
    Use a special arrow to blow up the barrel, triggering a scene.
  33. 33
    Now, address the southern objective marker. Make your way back to the Base Camp.
  34. 34
    Behind the statue southeast of the Base Camp, find a Survival Cache [01/03].
  35. 35
    Enter the lit archway directly south of the campfire and proceed into the pool of water.
  36. 36
    Dive beneath the planks blocking your path, using the Rebreather to stay underwater.
  37. 37
    In the next room, three enemies are on platforms above the water. Stay submerged and move next to the platforms.
  38. 38
    Wait for the enemies to pass and perform silent takedowns from the water. Eliminating all three this way unlocks the 'Glub Glub Glub' achievement/trophy.
  39. 39
    Once all enemies are dealt with, climb out of the water.
  40. 40
    Loot the room for Ammo boxes and Arrows.
  41. 41
    Proceed up the ladder on the northern wall when ready to continue.
